Shiv:  Can you imagine if someone actually cleaned up here, Tom?  With a cleaning fucking zeal?

Tom:  Uh-huh, like Mary Poppins with a hard on?

Shiv:  No like me.  Or you?

=====================

Roman:  Oh amazing.  I'm stripping down to basics.  This is my White Album.

Gerri:  This is good for you Rome.

Roman:  I know.  I'm gonna grow up and becoem a real little boy, and learn the price of an egg, and do phone sex with my girlfriend like a normo.

Roman:  Yes mommy.

Shiv:  Waystar isn't coing in to fuck you, but to make sweet, sweet, Barry White-investment love.  Beauty saved by the beast would be the flavor.

Rhea:  I think it's telling that your most positive spin still sounds a bit rapey.

[Princess Sparkle]

"Buckle up Fucklehead" might have been my favorite line from the first season.

Though, "My therapist said if dad had more therapy, I wouldn't need as much" hit devastatingly close to home.

[Maire]

You know my favorite quote from Shakespeare?

Take the fucking money!

[Princess Sparkle]

A friend of mine at work and I have begun to call a lot of things "Executive level business!" when we're doing mundane tasks.

And it's a quote that works better in gif form, but we so rarely see Kendall smile, and him screaming "Fam-ily Ther-a-py" cracks me up every time I think about it. Just the glee he had.

[scrb]

S02E06:  Argestes:

“It’s difficult? Oh I’m sorry buddy, would you like a handjob and an Advil? Fuck off, then.”

“Send out the two cover stars for Toxic Male Monthly, and why don’t we get Ted Bundy up there and make it a threeway?” 

We've been circling for a fuckin' hour. TELL THEM WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF GAS!

You don't really hear much about syphilis these days. Very much the, uh, the MySpace of STDs.

Is there an angle here for a team-up? Like me, kind of like a Jagger/Tarzan fronting things up and swingin' through the trees with my little dick singin', killin' shit, and you back home cookin' us soup and makin' sure the numbers are right. Hmm? Rockstar and the mole woman?

Wow, someone thinks they're Beyonce.

S02E07;  The Return

"Good. I like a boring bastard flying me. Serge always looks as if his dick's still wet, and he's gonna give me the name of a good fuckin' pinot."

"Dude, are you, like, talking yourself hard right now?"

"Are your nips hard? They must be because you are so out in the cold."

"The next Zucker fucker comes along and swallows you whole, shits you out as an app."

"You know, there's nothing to be ashamed of. Our stuff. We give them a bit of a laugh, some decent TV to watch, news that doesn't talk down to them. Good fuckin' people, nice fuckin' folk."

Oh dear God. How can it be worse than I thought?

[Princess Sparkle]

I really don't know if I should approve of your dedication to finding the lyrics lol

Connor's "Sometimes I think I'll never truly know dad until I shit outside" and Tom's "Clearly they went with the first draft on that one" had me on the floor.

[scrb]

S02E06:  Dundee

Rhea: Wow. A whole school for how to intern at a clickbait aggregator.
Kendall: Yeah, ten reasons why you're never getting paid.

Connor: It's interesting that dad's agreed to go back to Scotland for this dedication dinner.
Shiv: Yeah.
Connor: He didn't have it easy.
Shiv: Umm hmm.
Connor: He had to shit outside, right? Sometimes I think I'll never truly understand dad until I shit outside.

Roman: Oh, and one more thing real quick. Should weeee get married?
Gerri: What?
Roman: You know, not that. An equivalent. The think. Like I abduct you and force you to live with me.
Gerri: That's not equivalent.
Roman: Then you kill me. You chop my dick off, you know? Something. I'm kidding, but you know what I'm saying. You eat me. I eat you. Like they do in Germany. Anyway, it's a lot to think about. I get it. So let it [wiggles fingers by his head]. Bye.

Ewan:  The Logan Roy School of Journalism. What's next, the Jack the Ripper Women's Health Clinic?

S02E09:  DC

Gil: Do you know what is special about the hours between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. on the night of March 12?
Tom: Uh, no sir.
Gil: That was the only two-hour period in which you did NOT send an email to Mr. Hirsch with the title You Can't Make a Tomlet Without Breaking Some Gregs. You send the same email to him 67 times in one evening.
Tom: I guess it was a joke [snickers nervously].

Greg: What? No, I mean, my grandpa changes his mind a lot, so it's not final, and plus, um, he's so sturdy. Like who knows how long I might have to wait. I'm good, anyway, cuz, uh, my, so, I was just talkin' to my mom, and she said, apparently, he'll leave me five million anyway, so I'm golden, baby.
Connor: You can't do anything with five, Greg. Five's a nightmare.
Greg: Is it?
Connor: Oh, yeah. Can't retire. Not worth it to work. Oh, yes, five will drive you un poco loco, my fine feathered friend.
Tom: The poorest rich person in America. The world's tallest dwarf.
Connor: The weakest strong man at the circus.

If I was to give Tom a letter grade, I'd give him a B+ for Bad plus Terrible.

- Frank.

Logan: You know, you're fungible. 
Rhea: I am not fungible.
Logan: Oh, yes you are. You're as fungible as fuck.
Rhea: Fine. Then funge me. Go ahead. Try.

Logan: What the fuck was that?
Shiv: Uh, I don't know. I think it's getting to people? The tension?
Logan: He ate my fuckin' chicken.
Shiv: Um hmm.
Logan: So, what's next? Stick his cock into my potato salad?

Tom: You told me. You told me you wanted an opening relationship on our fucking wedding night.
Shiv: This. Oh. So you've been stewing on that?
Tom: Why yes, I have been stewing on it. I'm not a hippy, Shiv. I don't want to stuff a dildo up my, I don't want to do threesomes!
Shiv: OK!
Tom: On our WEDDING NIGHT? Bang! Shanghaied into an open-borders free-fuck trade deal.
Shiv: It was just an idea.
Tom: Well, that's, that's a biggie just to throw in at the altar. You know? I do, I do, but I do maybe also demand to gobble the odd side dick.
Shiv: Gobble the odd side dick.
Tom: I don't think it was cool what you did. I just, you know, I think a lot of the time, if I think about it, I think a lot of the time, I'm really pretty unhappy.
Shiv: What are you saying?
Tom: I don't know. I love you, I do. I just, uh, I wonder if, I wonder if the sad I'd be without you would be less than the sad I get from being with you.

Kendall: He loves me. He does. I think it's just the wrong kind of love expression.
Naomi: Yeah, daddy loves the broken you. That's what he loves.

Tom, I feel like you're turning our threesome into a twosome.

Shiv

So, someone's getting shitcanned. Let's get the party started.

Good to see you, Dad.

Kendall

 

Living+. No, it's land cruises. Hey, you know how shitty and heartbreaking it is being locked up on a cruise? How about that, but you also get to stay in the same fucking place the whole time. I'm not gonna pursue, so why would you announce?

Matsson

 

Matsson: Well, you keep me looped, my girl on the inside.
Shiv: Oh, fuck you my boy on the outside. You know, I'm going to tell my brothers everything you said.

 

You're scheduling your grief?

Tom

 

Roman: Well, something about this all does depress me.

Kendall: Oh yeah? And, uh, do you think it's this speech written specifically for our late father or the fact we're planning to warehouse the elderly and keep them drunk on content while we suck 'em dollar dry?

 

Roman: You don't treat me with sufficient respect, and that's a problem. 

Gerri: Uh huh.

Roman: Or maybe I'll fire you, too.

Gerri: Sure. I'm not on the kill list.

Roman: So.

Gerri: So, Matsson will be very angry.

Roman: Fuck Matsson. I don't care.

Gerri: Be serious. You're minding shop. Roman. Oh, no, no, no, no. Roman! You cannot win against the money. The money is going to wash you away. Your dad knew. Tech is coming; we are over. Make your accommodation.

Roman: This is a simple business decision. You are not good at your job. Maybe Dad did know. Maybe I'm firing you for a list of failures I choose not to outline right now but including a failure to close off our liabilities, Vis-à-vis claims against Waystar cruises in a timely manner. That will play nicely. Let's do that.

Gerri: I am good at my job.

Roman: Shall we get started on the paperwork? You want to do it yourself, or do you want me to get somebody a bit sharper? Bye.

 

 

 

If I cringe any harder, I might become a fossil.

Roman

 

It's really well-edited.

Greg

 

 

 

How am I supposed to follow this? He just promised them eternal life.

[Macbeth1966]

An email from Tom to Greg with the title "You can't make a Tomlette without breaking some Greggs."  This is from S2.9, titled DC.

This email was sent 67 times in one evening.  It was brought up during a Congressional hearing,  soon after Tom initially denied knowing who Greg even was.

Oh one of my favorite couples of all time.
