ブレイキング・バッド
Walt: Chemicals! No! Chemistry is…Well, technically, chemistry is the study of matter. But I prefer to see it as the study of change. Now just…just think about this. Electrons. They…change their energy levels. Molecules. Molecules change their bonds. Elements. They combine and change into compounds. Well, that’s…that’s all of life. Right? I mean, it’s just…It’s the constant. It’s the cycle. It’s solution, dissolution, just over and over and over. It is growth, then decay, then transformation. It is fascinating, really.

デスパレートな妻たち
Susan: Look, just to save you the embarrassment, Ian’s seeing someone.
Lynn: Who?
Susan: I’m not at liberty to say. Under the circumstances, they’d prefer to keep it quiet. I don’t believe it. If there was some bimbo in the picture, I’d have heard about it. Lynn: As far as I’m concerned, he’s free meat.
デクスター
Dexter: I love Halloween. The one time of year when everyone wears a mask … not just me. People think it’s fun to pretend you’re a monster. Me, I spend my life pretending I’m not. Brother, friend, boyfriend – all part of my costume collection. Some people might call me a fraud. Let’s see if it will fit. I prefer to think of myself as a master of disguise.
