Mindhunter Season 1

“Bill Tench: Holden, they're not gonna let you in with a sidearm. Holden Ford: The guy is six foot nine, weighs 300 pounds. Bill Tench: That's right. Holden Ford: So what's he gonna do? Bill Tench: He's gonna take the fuckin' thing away, kill you with it, and then have sex with your face.”

— Joe Penhall, Bill Tench, Holt McCallany, imdb.com

“[last lines] Bill Tench: [squabbling about their differing methods] Let me ask you something else. Do you have a girlfriend? Holden Ford: I do now, Bill, as it happens. Bill Tench: OK. So next time you're a long way from home and you flip your shit, you find a pay phone and you tell it to your girlf…”

“Iowa Reporter #1: The woman and her little boy. Bill Tench: We're instructors. Iowa Reporter #2: Are you from the Methodist church? Bill Tench: Do we look like we're from the Methodist church? Iowa Reporter #1: Yes? Bill Tench: Make a hole. Good to see ya...”

“Bill Tench: Smoke? Holden Ford: Oh, uh I don't smoke when I eat. Bill Tench: Want to go outside? Holden Ford: I don't smoke when I don't eat, either.”

“Holden Ford: You get onto a crowded elevator, and you face the opposite direction, the back of the elevator, and everybody freaks out. They're uncomfortable for reasons they can't even articulate. But if you turn around and face the front, everybody relaxes. Bill Tench: OK. Well, how do we do that?…”

“The question is not only why did the killer do it, but why did the killer do it this way?”

— Joe Penhall, Bill Tench, Holt McCallany, imdb.com

“Well I am, and he's a complete dick, an utter asshole, and all I can do is think about fucking him.”

— David Henry Hwang, Audrey, Sarah Ramos, imdb.com

“People who hunt other people for a vocation. All we want to talk about is what its like. Shit that went down. The entire fucked-upness of it. It's not easy butchering people its hard work. Physically and mentally it's hard work. People don't realize, you need to vent.”

— Joe Penhall, Ed Kemper, Cameron Britton, imdb.com

“You think they want to talk about this shit? It's like if you worked at a slaughterhouse with livestock. Real conversation stopper.”

— Joe Penhall, Ed Kemper, Cameron Britton, imdb.com

“The classic is talking too much about the crimes. Over interest. You have to remain casual. They tried everything to trick me, I'm too savvy, I don't fucking talk period.”

— Joe Penhall, Ed Kemper, Cameron Britton, imdb.com

“How do you overcome fear? By giving in to the complex and unfathomable architecture that God has designed for us.”

— Stefano Rulli, Paolo Sorrentino, Lenny Belardo, Jude Law, imdb.com

— Paolo Sorrentino, Lenny Belardo, Jude Law, imdb.com

“Look up. Do you see the sky? Do you see God? No? No matter. Now look at the person next to you. Look joyfully upon him, and remember what Saint Augustine said: "If you want to see God, you have the means to do it. God is love.”

— Paolo Sorrentino, Cardinal Voiello, Silvio Orlando, imdb.com

“Think of all the things you like. There, that's what God is.”

“Virtuosity is for the arrogant.”

— Paolo Sorrentino, Lenny Belardo, Jude Law, imdb.com

“I'm afraid the articulate is the enemy of the erotic. Isn't the whole point that you don't know what your love will do next, that you give yourself over to a sensory experience that you haven't planned and can't control? The reason I like sex is because I can finally, for a moment, turn off my neuro…”

— David Henry Hwang, Juliette Le Gall, Irène Jacob, imdb.com

“And there’s a lot about what I want that I don’t understand and that I don’t expect a lover to understand. But I think we all live in our own version of the truth, and thus are prone to terrible miscommunications.”

— David Henry Hwang, Juliette Le Gall, Irène Jacob, imdb.com

“What you don't seem to understand about women in general is that we feel unsafe all the time. At class, at parties, job interviews, getting into an elevator, parking our cars, walking down the street at night... I don't need you to push me out of my comfort zone when I've never been inside one.”

— Sarah Treem, Audrey, Sarah Ramos, imdb.com
