Two quotes
So I watch a few TV shows, and I generally catch up on lots of TV in big chunks, last week had two incredible moments from me on two of my favorite shows.
The first is Friday Night Lights. If you're not watching this show - you should be. It's fucking incredible. You can even get the first season for 15 bucks on Amazon and they have a money-back guarantee on it. Wow!
Anyways, Landry's dad sees Tyra sneaking out his bedroom window on the morning, and ends up going to her work and confronting her after he orders from her:
Mr. Clarke: "So tell me something, are you and my son dating?"
Tyra: I um... I... I don't know , actually
Mr. Clarke: Cause I have to tell you, I don't get it. I mean, no disrespect intended, but as a parent I don't understand it, I mean, you could date anyone you want to... what do you want with my kid Landry?
Tyra: Landry, he's um... *pauses* he's a wonderful guy, he's smart, and kind, and caring, he's funny and he's really nice to be around.
*they look at each other for a few seconds*
Tyra: You should know that being his father and all.
Mr. Clarke: I appreciate that
Tyra - coldly: You want that burger medium or well done?
Mr. Clarke: Medium is fine.
Great stuff. The acting, cinematography, direction, lighting, everything is amazing in this show.
The other moment I loved was from Grey's Anatomy, a show I've been watching since episode one. Last season we rough, but it's gotten much better this year... I think removing Addison has helped the show immensely.
Anyways, Sheperd and Meredith have been discussing leaving at the end of the day to go for a weekend away to get 48 hours of uninterrupted time together (sex). Meredith comes running down the stairs chasing Shepherd as he's about to leave. She's been annoyed at him for talking to her intern sister Lexi.
Meredith: I got Alex to cover me so I can leave after I run all my patients.
Shepherd: Oh... yeah...
Meredith: 48 uninterrupted hours.
Shepherd: Um... you know, maybe this isn't a good weekend.
Meredith: What did Lexi say to you?
Shepherd: She didn't say anything, I did all the talking.... oh, don't blame her.
Meredith: So, what, you're friends with my sister now? You talked to the other Grey about me.
Shepherd: You know what I talked about with the other Grey? *pauses* All the things this Grey won't let me say.
Meredith: You can say anything to me.
Shepherd cocks his head and looks at her.
Shepherd: I want to marry you... I want to have kids with you, I want to build us a house... I want to settle down, and grow old with you... I want to die, when I'm a hundred and ten years old, in your arms. I don't want 48 uninterrupted hours, I want a lifetime.
Meredith fidgets, Shepherd nods.
Shepherd: You see what happens? I say things like that, and you fight the urge to run the opposite direction. It's ok, I understand. I didn't, but now I do. I do. You're just getting started, I've been doing this for a long time. Deep down... you're still an intern, and you're not ready.
Meredith: I'm not ready, right now... but things can stay the way they are, and I can't get ready. I'll get ready.
Shepherd: Things CAN stay the way they are, and we can meet in the elevator, in the on-call room... and maybe you'll be ready. You know what, I'll wait until you're ready.
Meredith looks unsure, and smiles.
Meredith: Ok then.
Shepherd: But what, what if while I'm waiting, I meet someone who is willing to give me what I want from you?
Meredith: Well, what if you do meet someone?
Shepherd: I don't know.
Shepherd steps into the elevator, looking upset, Grey looks after him, doors close.
Such an awesome scene.
