Quotes Of The Week: Why Women Kill, Station 19, Clarice, Ziwe And More

Another Sunday morning, another bakery-fresh batch of Quotes of the Week!

In the list below, we've compiled more than a dozen of the week's best TV sound bites, including moments both scripted and unscripted from broadcast, cable and streaming series.

This time around, we've got Clarice's simple explanation for her (gruesome) chosen profession, more proof that Blair and Tiff are among Black Monday's most corrupt characters, a Grey's Anatomy encounter between doctor and patient that gets awkward very quickly, and an extremely sobering moment from one of the week's several enlightening Tulsa Massacre documentaries.

Also featured in this week's roundup: double doses of Lucifer, Dark Side of the Ring and Ziwe, plus quotable moments from Station 19, Why Women Kill, A Million Little Things and more series.
