Quotes Of The Week: Book Of Boba Fett, The Gilded Age, Amazing Race And More
Freeform's grown-ish and Syfy's Resident Alien both returned with new episodes this week, and they locked down spots in our Quotes of the Week compilation right away.
But in addition to grown-ish's Ruby making a play for her granddaughter's boyfriend, and Harry Vanderspeigle's expletive-filled rants on Resident Alien, the list below includes more than a dozen other sound bites from the past seven days, hailing from both scripted and unscripted series.
This time around, we've also got a very bold fashion statement from The Righteous Gemstones' BJ, an intriguing anecdote about Peli Motto's love life on The Book of Boba Fett, and proof that robber baron George Russell throws the best Gilded Age shade.
Plus, this week's roundup features double doses of Abbott Elementary and The Amazing Race, as well as quotable moments from Legends of Tomorrow, Peacemaker, Batwoman, SEAL Team and more shows.
Scroll through the list below to see all of our picks for the week, then hit the comments and tell us if we missed any of your faves!
