Quotes

Dinesh: How long can we survive?
Gilfoyole: Well, the Siege of Candia lasted 21 years.
Dinesh: Oh. Well, that's something.
Gilfoyole: It ended in 1669, when the Ottoman soldiers were infected with plague after being attacked with the liquid from the spleens and buboes of the dead.
Dinesh: What's a bubo?
Gilfoyole: Plague-infested lymph nodes.
Dinesh: So, they would, like, scoop them out and throw them at people?

Gilfoyole: Richard, did you just try to punch the wall and miss?
Richard: Nope. I clipped it.

Jared: (to the police) So, until a Richard Hendricks reports an assault, I-I technically can't turn myself in for it?
Police Officer: That is correct.
Jared: And what about a restraining order? Can I-I take one out against myself on his behalf?
Police Officer: No.
Jared: What if I threaten you guys? Just hear me out. Fucking pigs, I-I hope that you get cheated out of your overtime. How about that, dickless?
Police Officer: Maybe you could just try calling the guy?

Jian-Yang: You should not bring them here. Fuck the police.
Jared: Jian-Yang, you're not doing anything illegal here, are you?
Jian-Yang: Yes.

Jian-Yang: Jared is bringing chaos to the house, and chaos is bad for our business.
Big Head: Yeah. What is our business?

Gavin: Want a drink?
Richard: Don't you think it's a little early?
Gavin: It's kombucha with ginseng and lemongrass, Richard. I'm not a fucking hobo.

Dinesh: All I wanted to do was be a golden millionaire. Is that too much to ask?
Gilfoyle: A millionaire that gets peed on? I could see you making half that happen.

Gavin: I was sitting up here feeling totally just impotent, and then you came along and exposed your underbelly, and practically begged me to plunge the knife in! I mean, I still have a deep hole to crawl out of, but this is a fucking great start.

Ron Laflamme: You remember the end of Thelma and Louise? How they drove that car off the cliff? Why? That was a mint '66 T-Bird. They didn't need that car to get over the cliff. Why'd that car have to die?

Jared: (talking about Gwart) She doesn't have your savvy or your ruthlessness, Richard. Hell, she has to wear earplugs on hikes because the forest is too loud.

Gilfoyle: I cracked into Gavin's HooliWatch. Don't ask me how I did it. I've got real-time GPS location, blood pressure, body temperature, heart rate. I can even see where he is in his menstrual cycle.
Monica: Looks like a good day to fuck him.

(Gavin is exhausted)
Hoover: Plan J, sir?
Gavin: Plan J! Jay! You are my spitting image. I'll meet you a quarter mile from the finish line. Go, go, go, go, go!
(cut to Gavin riding in a SUV)
Gavin: I still got it, Hoover.
Hoover: I know you do, sir.
Gavin: As long as Jay doesn't fuck up, I'm gonna beat my personal record.

Dinesh: Gavin, you think you're the most spiteful guy in town, but you're not even the most spiteful guy in this room. The truth is I'm a bad person. How do you think we got the money for this deal? I lied to my cousin's face. He is going to lose $40 million, give or take, plus his estate in Hawaii... I hope.

Dinesh: I was eight years old, I stole my friend Ali's jump rope and tied it to the back of a truck that drove away, and then I told him I had no idea what happened to it. And when he cried himself to sleep, I ate his British candy and told him God took it because he hated him.
Monica: Jesus!
