In the list below, we've collected our favorite sound bites from the previous week of television, including scripted fare from broadcast, cable and streaming series, in addition to a couple of funnies from late night TV.

Among our nearly two dozen picks: Mrs. Maisel's gal pal gets feisty, How I Met Your Father looks into Timothée Chalamet's future, Billions takes a shot at a certain former New York mayor, and The Righteous Gemstones' Judy gets sentimental in her own special way.

Also featured in the roundup are double doses of Ghosts, Severance and Grey's Anatomy, plus a long-awaited acknowledgement from Arthur's series finale.
