Quotes Of The Week: Animal Kingdom, Westworld, Harley Quinn And More
With its Season 3 premiere last Thursday, HBO Max's Harley Quinn instantly earned not one, not two, but three spots in our latest Quotes of the Week compilation. Too many zingers to choose from!
In the list below, we've gathered a dozen of television's most memorable sound bites from the past seven days, including moments both scripted and unscripted from broadcast, cable and streaming series.
This time around, Harley Quinn's bon mots are joined by Better Call Saul's delightful reference to the events of Breaking Bad, an unexpected zoological debate on The Challenge: USA and a positively groan-worthy dad joke, courtesy of Blood & Treasure.
Also featured in this week's roundup: a double dose of Only Murders in the Building (review the latest clues), plus quotable moments from Westworld, Animal Kingdom and more shows.
