Ферзевий гамбіт (The Queen’s Gambit)
Interviewer: Have you ever heard of something called apophenia?
Elizabeth: No, what`s that?
Interviewer: It’s the finding of pattern or meaning where other people don’t. Sometimes, people with this condition get feelings of revelation or ecstasies. Sometimes, people find patterns or meaning where there aren’t any.
Elizabeth: Hm. What does that have to do with me?
Interviewer: Creativity and psychosis often go hand in hand.
Дракула (Dracula Bram Stoker)
Dracula: You will, I trust, excuse me if I do not join you. But, I have already dined, and I never drink… wine.
Jonathan Harker: An ancestor? I see a resemblance.
Dracula: The Order of the Dracul, the Dragon. An ancient society, pledging my forefathers to defend the church against all enemies of Christ. Their relationship was not entirely… successful.
Jonathan Harker: Oh. Yes.
Dracula: It is no laughing matter! We Draculs have a right to be proud! What devil or witch was ever so great as Atilla, whose blood flows in these veins? Blood…
Dracula: Is too precious a thing in these times.
Дивні Дива (Stranger Things)
Brenner: But I`m not gonna lie to you Eleven. Your friends are in terrible danger. With each victim he takes, Henry is… chiseling away at the barrier that exists between our two worlds.
Eleven: “Chiseling”?
Brenner: Imagine, if you will, the barrier between our worlds is a… concrete dam. Henry is putting cracks in this dam. Cracks in dams create pressure. Left unchecked, the pressure will build. And build. And eventually, it will reach a breaking point. And the dam will burst. And when that happens, Hawkins will fall.
Бійцівський Клуб (Fight Club)
Tyler Durden: You know why they put oxygen masks on planes?
The Narrator: So you can breathe.
Tyler Durden: Oxygen gets you high. In a catastrophic emergency, you’re taking giant panicked breaths. Suddenly you become euphoric, docile. You accept your fate. It’s all right here. Emergency water landing, 600 miles an hour. Blank faces, calm as Hindu cows.”
Мисливець за розумом (Mindhunter)
SHEPARD: You followed procedure. You did your job. You did everything by the book. He took hostages. He knes thered be consequences.
HOLDEN: He thought he was invisible.
SHEPARD: You`re not his shrink. You’re not responsible for diagnosing him. That’s not your remit. These things happen in real time, and we are the last responders. If an operation’s gonna go south, this is not the worst outcome. Stay focused on what we do.
HOLDEN: If I did everything by the book, it begs the question…
SHEPARD: This place is pretty much the benchmark for excellence in law enforcement. In the rest of the world, hostage negotiation’s on its way out. You think the Israelis bothered to negotiate at Entebbe last year? You didn’t lose one hostage or bystander. That’s how we measure success.
Пісочний Чоловік (The Sandman)
Sandman: What happened here? Who did this?
Lucienne: My Lord, you are The Dreaming, The Dreaming is you. With you gone as long as you were, the ralm began to decay and crumble
Sandman: And the residents? The palace staff?
Lucienne: I`m afraid most have gone
Sandman: Gone?
Lucienne: Some went looking for you
Sandman: And the others?
Lucienne: They thought, perhaps, you’d grown weary of your duties, and…
Sandman: What? Abandoned them? Had they so little faith in me? Do my own subjects not know me?
Lucienne: If I may, Sir… It wouldn’t be the first time one of The Endless had just
Sandman: Enough. I will not have Dreams and Nightmares preying on the waking world.
Любов смерть і роботи: Прекрасний пульс машини (Love, Death + Robots: The Very Pulse of the Machine)
Burton: About time we head back to the lander
Main: Oh, come on, Burton. Just one more klick. This is our closest pass to Daedalus Patera.
