That Feeling

JOCKEY’S WIFE: No, I’m not doing too good. I hurt, and I’m not sure where I hurt. Do you know that feeling?
DA VINCI: Yeah. Yeah, I know that feeling.

Slow Psychotic Break

ANDY: Well, this is all good. Meanwhile, a reconnaissance drone killed my battle buddy and I’m going to die, I know too much. I was hoping for a shower, maybe a little nap, but you obviously are having a slow psychotic breakdown, so I’ll just ask—do you have any money?
NANCY: No I don’t. [laughs] Uh, I have a backseat full of blood. I have two license plates that I have to remove. I have an assistant’s job that a monkey could do. I have a death wish. You’re welcome to any one of those sparkly gems, but as far as money goes, Bill, everything that comes in, goes out.
ANDY: I’m gonna go now. I like this new you.

Most Dangerous Time

Juarez drug wars - Washington Post

“I’m not gonna lie to you. What I’m gonna tell you is this: You are all living in the most dangerous time of your life right now. If you make it to the age of 21, count yourself lucky. Because if drinking and driving doesn’t kill you, you’re lucky. If drugs don’t get you, you’re real lucky. If depression, over the lack of a sure future, over a broken heart, if that doesn’t get you, you’re lucky. Now, if you are unlucky, that’s when you meet me. And what I do is I have you strip naked and I lay you on a metal slab. My pathologist will cut open every organ in your body, and all you secrets are now open for the whole world to know.”

We Were Here,

Johnson

MARY: Before you hear it from someone else, I smacked an Indian's johnson with a bar of soap today. Just thought you should know.

MARY: I'm not proud of myself.

Not More Upset

“After dropping Brandi off at the airport to go back to her skeevy boyfriend—with a ticket I paid for, no less, only to find her hours later with her head in Raff’s lap, no less—an idea has formed, a realization if you will. I don’t know, anyway, here it is: My family will be the death of me. And I don’t mean that in a ‘You kids will rue the day’ kind of way. No, I’m talking about knocking on heaven’s door, charge the beach at Normandy, shuffle off that mortal coil, deceased. But the real epiphany is I have absolutely no say in the matter. I wonder why I’m not more upset.”

Didn't Go So Good

Lou: What's your problem?
Spike: Woods. My people don't like 'em.
Lou: Your... people? From Woodbridge?
Spike: No. Romans. Three times we fought in the forest against the Huns. Didn't go so good, okay?

Facedown

Melanie Pullen

But, you know the real reason I never wrote one of those stories? I became a cop. And I found out the images I had in my head weren’t like real life. Take the case that I got this morning: The body wasn’t found by a swimming pool high in the hills, it turned up in a parking lot by the 101. And the victim wasn’t some movie weasel or starlet, it was a poor young woman in cargo pants and sneakers, with a bullet hole in her back and facedown on the pavement.

Black Coffee

Fringe S02E20

I'm feeling mighty lonesome

Haven't slept a wink

I walk the floor and watch the door

And in between I drink

Black coffee

Love's a hand me down brew

I'll never know a Sunday

In this weekday room

I'm talking to the shadows from 1 o'clock til 4

And lord, how slow the moments go

When all I do is pour

Black coffee

Since the blues caught my eye

I'm hanging out on Monday

My Sunday dreams to dry

Now a man is born to go a lovin'

A woman's born to weep and fret

To stay at home and tend her oven

And drown her past regrets

In coffee and cigarettes

I'm moaning all the morning and mourning all the night

And in between it's nicotine

And not much heart to fight

Black coffee

Feelin' low as the ground

It's driving me crazy just waiting for my baby

To maybe come around

I'm waiting for my baby

To maybe come around

My nerves have gone to pieces

My hair is turning gray

All I do is drink black coffee

Since my man's gone away

Ordinary

Mary: [on phone] I think my mom is a hooker.

Marshall: ...

Mary: Did you hear what I said?

Marshall: Does this mean you're going to be late?

Mary: I just saw my mom duck into an alley dressed like a hooker.

Marshall: Doesn't your mom always kinda dress like a...?
