Marty Hart:
Every time I think you've hit a ceiling, you, you keep raising the bar. You're like the Michael Jordan of being a son of a bitch.

Marty Hart:
Do you wonder ever if you're a bad man?

Rust Cohle:
No. I don't wonder, Marty. World needs bad men. We keep the other bad men from the door.

Rust Cohle:
This... This is what I'm talking about. This is what I mean when I'm talkin' about time, and death, and futility. All right there are broader ideas at work, mainly what is owed between us as a society for our mutual illusions. Fourteen straight hours of staring at DB's, these are the things ya think of. You ever done that? You look in their eyes, even in a picture, doesn't matter if they're dead or alive, you can still read 'em. You know what you see? They welcomed it... not at first, but... right there in the last instant. It's an unmistakable relief. See, cause they were afraid, and now they saw for the very first time how easy it was to just... let go. Yeah they saw, in that last nanosecond, they saw... what they were. You, yourself, this whole big drama, it was never more than a jerry-rig of presumption and dumb will, and you could just let go. To finally know that you didn't have to hold on so tight. To realize that all your life--you know, all your love, all your hate, all your memories, all your pain--it was all the same thing. It was all the same dream, a dream that you had inside a locked room, a dream about being a person. And like a lot of dreams, there's a monster at the end of it.

Rust Cohle:
The ontological fallacy of expecting a light at the end of the tunnel, well, that's what the preacher sells, same as a shrink. See, the preacher, he encourages your capacity for illusion. Then he tells you it's a fucking virtue. Always a buck to be had doing that, and it's such a desperate sense of entitlement, isn't it?

Detective Thomas Papania:
You figure it's all a scam, huh? All them folks? They just wrong?

Rust Cohle:
Oh yeah! Been that way since one monkey looked at the sun and told the other monkey, "He said for you to give me your fucking share." People... so goddamn frail they'd rather put a coin in the wishing well than buy dinner.

Marty Hart:
I mean, can you imagine if people didn't believe, what things they'd get up to?

Rust Cohle:
Exact same thing they do now. Just out in the open.

Marty Hart:
Bullshit. It'd be a fucking freak show of murder and debauchery and you know it.

Rust Cohle:
If the only thing keeping a person decent is the expectation of divine reward, then brother that person is a piece of shit; and I'd like to get as many of them out in the open as possible.

Marty Hart:
Well, I guess your judgment is infallible, piece-of-shit-wise. You think that notebook is a stone tablet?

Rust Cohle:
What's it say about life, hmm? You gotta get together, tell yourself stories that violate every law of the universe just to get through the goddamn day. Nah. What's that say about your reality, Marty?

Rust Cohle:
Transference of fear and self-loathing to an authoritarian vessel. It's catharsis. He absorbs their dread with his narrative. Because of this, he's effective in proportion to the amount of certainty he can project. Certain linguistic anthropologists think that religion is a language virus that rewrites pathways in the brain. Dulls critical thinking.

Marty Hart:
Well, I don't use ten dollar words as much as you, but for a guy who sees no point in existence, you sure fret about it an awful lot. And you still sound panicked.

Rust Cohle:
At least I'm not racing to a red light.

Rust Cohle:
What do you think the average IQ of this group is, huh?

Marty Hart:
Can you see Texas up there on your high horse? What do you know about these people?

Rust Cohle:
Just observation and deduction. I see a propensity for obesity. Poverty. A yen for fairy tales. Folks puttin' what few bucks they do have into a little wicker basket being passed around. I think it's safe to say nobody here's gonna be splitting the atom, Marty.

Marty Hart:
You see that. Your fucking attitude. Not everybody wants to sit alone in an empty room beating off to murder manuals. Some folks enjoy community. A common good.

Rust Cohle:
Yeah, well if the common good's gotta make up fairy tales, then it's not good for anybody.

[Rust sniffs]

Marty Hart:
What?

Rust Cohle:
You wash up, you got some pussy on ya.

Marty Hart:
Key to a healthy marriage.

Rust Cohle:
Oh, that's Maggie, huh?

Marty Hart:
Hey! What's with your fucking nose?

Rust Cohle:
Nothing man, sorry, forget it.

Marty Hart:
I get a connotation being implied here... about my wife?

Rust Cohle:
Are you saying that's your wife? That high tide you're walking in with?

Marty Hart:
[Angrily slams Rust into a locker] You got some idea how my wife's pussy is supposed to smell?

Rust Cohle:
No, I just meant you're wearing the same clothes as you did yesterday. [slowly grabs Martin's wrists] Coupled with the fact that I ain't stupid. Wasn't making no comment as to the particularity of the scent.

Marty Hart:
You don't say fuck-all about my wife... don't say her name!

Rust Cohle:
You got some self loathing to do this morning, that's fine, but it ain't worth losing your hands over.

Marty Hart:
How would that work exactly?

Rust Cohle:
I'd just apply a couple of pounds of pressure. [tightens the grip on Martin's wrists] Snap your wrists. You're senior detective, think I'm lying?

Marty Hart:
[about Beth] That girl's not 18. Sheriff know you got underage workin' here?

Jan:
What do you know about where that girl's been? Where she come from? You wanna know Beth's situation 'fore she ran out on her uncle?

Marty Hart:
There are other places she could go.

Jan:
Such holy bullshit from you. It's a woman's body, ain't it? A woman's choice.

Marty Hart:
Well, she don't look like a woman to me. At that age she is not equipped to make those kinda choices. But I guess you don't give a shit what kind of damage she's doin' to herself as long as you're makin' your money.

Jan:
Girls walk this Earth all the time screwin' for free. Why is it you add business to the mix and boys like you can't stand the thought? I'll tell you. It's cause suddenly you don't own it the way you thought you did.

Marty Hart:
[Gives money to Beth] Do something else.

[they leave]

Rust Cohle:
That a down payment?

Marty Hart:
Is shitting on any moment of decency part of your job description?

Rust Cohle:
Came close another time... Lori. Maggie introduced us. It broke off. It was for the best, you know, I gave her cause. I can be hard to live with. I don't mean to, but I can be... critical. [sigh] Sometimes I think I'm just not good for people, that it's not good for them to be around me. I wear 'em down. They... they get unhappy.

Maynard Gilbough:
Hmm... yeah, I think the job does that to a lot of guys. Changes ya. Some guys just notice, that's all.

Rust Cohle:
I can't say the job made me this way. More like me being this way made me right for the job. I used to think about it more, but you reach a certain age you know who you are. Now I live in a little room, out in the country behind a bar, work four nights a week, and in between I drink. And there ain't nobody there to stop me. I know who I am. And after all these years, there's a victory in that.

You know me. I don't see the connection between two dead cats and a murdered woman. [pause] But I'm from Texas.

Rust Cohle:
I think about my daughter now, and what she was spared. Sometimes I feel grateful. The doctor said she didn't feel a thing, went straight into a coma. Then, somewhere in that blackness, she slipped off into another, deeper kind. Isn't that a beautiful way to go out, painlessly as a happy child? Trouble with dying later is you've already grown up. The damage is done. It's too late. You got kids? I think of the hubris it must take, to yank a soul out of nonexistence into this meat; and force a life into this thresher. As to my daughter, she spared me the sin of being a father.

Bulkhead:
Optimus... destroyed the Omega Lock.

Ratchet:
What?! You did--?!

Optimus Prime:
What was necessary. There was no time for another prolonged battle. Not with Earth in imminent danger.

Ratchet:
So you destroyed the only device in any universe capable of restoring our home?! Optimus... we needed that.

Smokescreen:
You weren't there, Doc. And it's not your place to second-guess a battlefield decision.

Ratchet:
IT MOST CERTAINLY IS! THERE HAD TO BE ANOTHER WAY!

Jack:
It wasn't that simple, Ratchet.

Raf:
Megatron was using the Omega Lock to attack the Earth.

Miko:
Optimus saved our planet!

Ratchet:
WHAT ABOUT OUR PLANET?! All of our struggles, and energon spilled, and countless sacrifices - for nothing?!

Arcee:
Right decision or wrong, what's done is done. But we have another problem here on this world. The Cons just changed the rules when they put Jack, Miko and Raf into play.

Megatron:
Our opportunity to revive Cybertron has been lost, due to the treachery of Optimus Prime! But from our fortress of New Kaon, we will instead seize control of this world! DECEPTICONS! TRANSFORM AND RISE UP!

I thought he'd never ask! Attack my armada! Attack! Attack! ATTACK!
