• "Why are you marking it red?"
  "Because it's only got two toddlers and a pregnant woman in it."
  "Right, so you mark it green."

  "That's 38."
  "What?"
  "What?"
  "19 people, that'd be 38 thumbs. You said 36."
  "I don't know! I can't do the fucking thumb arithmetic."
  "Well, he might've used the last two as, uh, like wine stoppers." (Avenue 5, S02E03)
• "She bludgeoned her mother to death with her father."
  "She bludgeoned a parent with another parent?"
  "Yes, yes."
  "Okay, well, at least they died in each other's arms." (Avenue 5, S02E03)
• "Okay, I'm sorry to always be the corporate stiff, but I cannot allow a sexual predator to roam free among vacationing families. I'm a libertarian, but there's a line." (Avenue 5, S02E03)
• "What if the predator punctures this hamster run? You know, he could have a blade concealed in his mud pipe."
  "Then we're leaking pedo." (Avenue 5, S02E03)
• "Great! Death or pedo? Sounds like fun." (Avenue 5, S02E03)

  "He landed an Airbus of 155 people safely on a river!"
  "Okay, I'm just saying that, as a pilot, like, half his job is landing, so he kind of was just doing his job. Shouldn't have had a movie before Harriet Tubman."

• "What about you, Gi-na?"
  "Oh, please do not call me that." (Chucky, S02E04)

  "Besides, Strunk and White have been dead for years."

Man, he wanted to tackle everything in this movie: Segregation, single parenting, low-income career trajectories, fear of gang violence, incarceration, the amount of cheese in African-American diets." (Atlanta, S04E08)
• "To give you a little context, when A Goofy Movie came out, Black masculinity in the media was in a really weird place. So on one hand, you've got men doing, kind of 'faux queer' comedy, and on the other end of the spectrum, you've got these hypermasculine portrayals. And, by contrast, Goofy is a nuanced portrayal of a Black man whose priority is his family." (Atlanta, S04E08)
• "At one point, he said he didn't want Mickey in the movie. And, um, I kept saying, 'But it's Disney. What are you talking about?' I can remember Thomas ranting in his office, 'They're trying to make me put this white boy in my movie.'" (Atlanta, S04E08)

• "That Powerline concert at the end, it wasn't supposed to be all hunky-dory, dancing-dancing. Nah, it wasn't supposed to be like that at all."
  "I heard Goofy was supposed to get shot at the concert. You know, a Black man runs on stage like that at a major venue?" (Atlanta, S04E08)
• "It was the Bigfoot stuff that put him over the edge."
  "They'd added it without his knowledge. He'd wanted Goofy and Max to wander into a thrift store and discover Huey Newton's rattan throne. And once they sat in it, Max would finally understand what Goofy had been fighting to make him understand all along. Instead, they took out the thrift store and the throne and put in that Bigfoot bit. It's like they were saying, 'What you were after, your message, it's a fantasy as elusive and unreal as Bigfoot.'"
