The Blacklist Favorite Quotes #2: Because TBL Has Some Of The Greatest Quotes On Television.

The Blacklist Favorite Quotes
2nd A P P R E C I A T I O N T H R E A D



Banner by Miranda


Some of our favorite quotes..




Season one

"You know the problem with drawing lines in the sand? With a breath of air, they disappear."
Red to Liz. Episode 1x07


"Have you ever sailed across an ocean, Donald? On a sailboat, surrounded by sea
with no land in sight, without even the possibility of sighting land for days to come?
To stand at the helm of your destiny. I want that, one more time.
I want to be in the Piazza del Campo in Siena. To feel the surge as 10 racehorses
go thundering by. I want another meal in Paris, at L'Ambroisie, at the Place des Vosges.
I want another bottle of wine. And then another.
I want the warmth of a woman and a cool set of sheets.
One more night of jazz at the Vanguard. I want to stand on the summits
and smoke Cubans and feel the sun on my face for as long as I can.
Walk on the Wall again. Climb the Tower. Ride the River. Stare at the Frescos.
I want to sit in the garden and read one more good book. Most of all I want to sleep.
I want to sleep like I slept when I was a boy. Give me that, just one time.
That's why I won't allow that punk out there to get the best of me, let alone the last of me."

Red to Ressler. Episode 1x09



"It was Christmas Eve. I pulled off to the side of the road, seemed like it'd been snowing for days.
No traffic. No cars to come help. Just me and a car full of gifts. It was more than 20 year ago.
I must have walked four miles. Five, maybe. It was so still. Just cold and white.
The whole time all I could think about was them in our house.
The warm light in the windows. The smoke from the chimney. The sound of my daughter
at the piano. The smell of the tree, and the fire, oyster stew on the stove.
I was so upset to think that I'd ruined Christmas for them, being late, leaving the gifts in the car.
But the closer I got, the more I realized how funny the whole thing was.
How much they'd love the story. Daddy running out of gas.
How every Christmas they'd get such joy from telling that story at my expense.
And then finally, I got there, I walked... I walked through the door.
And there was just blood. All I saw was blood. All there was was blood.
I can still smell the nape of her neck. Feel her little... fingers on my cheek. Her whisper in my ear.
That's why I didn't show up in Florence. It's why I haven't shown up in a lot of places over the years."

Red to Madeline Pratt. Episode 1x14


"There you are. What the hell happened to you? You just leave me stranded with awful Algerian.
He's been hitting on me for 20 minutes.
Well, not secure enough if you ask me, sister. You know what?
Why don't ask Rasil? We wouldn't even be here if it weren't for that troublemaker.
Always an agenda with him. Cultural attache. Culture, my ass.
The things I do for this one. Gallivanting around the globe for you little assignations
with you know, hmm-hmm. Carrying her furs and bikinis as if I wouldn't rather be back in Dutchess County with my shelties.
Hey, don't take anything for granted. Everything you have was bought and paid for by your boyfriend.
Do you have any idea who's horn this tr*mp is blowing?
Let's just say it starts with Bashiar, and ends with Assad,
gassing you faster than a Sunni. So let's get her out of the hot seat and into a limo.
Good God, crumbs up! Your cummerbund. Pleats up. You look like Bob Yashimura in eighth grade swing choir. It's upside down.

Red. Episode 1x14



"My greatest enemy brought her back and my best friend took her away."
Ressler to Bobby Jonica. Episode 1x16


”There is nothing that can take the pain away.
But eventually, you will find a way to live with it. There will be nightmares.
And everyday when you wake up, it will be the first thing you think about.
Until one day, it’s the second.“

Red to Ressler. Episode 1x16



I didn't know where else to go."
Liz to Ressler. Episode 1x20


Season two

"When you love someone you have no control. That’s what love is. Being powerless."
Red to Liz. Episode 2x08


"I don't know who I am. I don't know if this is my birthday.
I don't even know my own name.

Liz to Ressler. Episode 2x17


“You could see to her education, health insurance, housing.
You can watch her or have her watched, keep her safe. Try and ascertain her hopes,
dreams, desires. Pull strings, call in the favours to discretely smooth the path.
And the first few years, it may work. You will grow some measure
of virtue from being her invisible benefactor. But that won’t last. It’s all a fraud.
That it’s not really about her at all. That its all about you.
And you are just going through the emotions to solve your own guilt.
With all the money, all the time and effort, all the favours in the world
can not possibly equal to what you took away from her.
Everything else is.. is just a nice gesture.”

Red to Liz. Episode 2x16



"I risked my life for you because I care about you. Deal with that."
Liz to Red. Episode 2x14


"Maybe you should stop thinking about it and do it."
Dembe to Red. Episode 2x15



]"Get well soon, b*tch. We have some partying to do."
Aram on Cooper's get well card. Episode 2x16


Don't ask me to feel your pain Liz. I've got more than enough of my own."
Ressler to Liz. Episode 2x13



You know, for what it's worth, I spent four months on that ship chained up and I never told her about us. Not one word.
Tom to Red. Episode 2x08


"The FBI is in the business of my business. Why else would I be in business with the FBI?"
Red to Liz. Episode 2x05

TFTNT, Miranda!

We definitely have to think of a title! Not sure if we really should use a quote since it's a general quote thread.

And wow, you collected some of the quotes and put them into the OP, Miranda! Thanks so much!!!

You're welcome Kris.

I really didn't know what to use for a title so I left it blank for now but we really need to come up with one soon.

I am glad you like the OP. I just took some of the ones we talked about in the previous thread. I can always add some more if you want.

I think the quotes are okay for now Now we just need a banner

Because TBL has some of the greatest quotes on television.

Oh man... That's lame.

Miranda, thanks for adding the title and I see, you did work on the OP a little bit with coloring it Thanks for that.

Now we definitely need a new episode for another great quote.

I can't wait for my re-watch in the summer and for all the quotes we'll be reminded off again

I love this one as well

"Revenge isn't a passion. It's a disease. It eats at your mind, and poisons your soul."
Red in 2x02

I really love the revenge quote because it's true... Whenever such a feeling arises in your mind you should right away remind you of what Red said back then.

Aww, Miranda, I love this one as well! So true as well. It's so beautiful how much life experience Red has. I love that about him, really. He's such an intelligent person.
