Quotes Of The Week: Batwoman, TWD, Falcon And The Winter Soldier And More
Sure, we've lost an hour of TV-watching now that spring has sprung, but our Quotes of the Week column hasn't suffered a bit.
On the contrary, our latest compilation of TV's most memorable dialogue features nearly two dozen gems from the past seven days, including quotes from broadcast, cable and streaming series.
This time around, we've got an unfortunate culinary decision on Debris, a bit of oversharing from Shameless' Liam, Batwoman's dig at Adam West's Batman, and one of the strangest conversations that American Idol has ever aired.
Also featured in this week's roundup: double doses of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, The Voice, Breeders, The Walking Dead and Superstore's sentimental series finale (read post mortem No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3). All that, plus sound bites from Last Week Tonight, Mayans MC, The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers 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!
LAST WEEK TONIGHT WITH JOHN OLIVER
"Our main story tonight concerns plastic. It's very much the Jane Lynch of materials, in that it's incredibly versatile, appears in almost everything and isn't going anywhere for the next 400 years."
DEBRIS
"Do you want in on this sandwich? You've been working all night."
"Where did you get that?"
"From the fridge."
"Which... fridge?"

"Food? Medicine? Ponies? What?"
If the stormtrooper thinks he can offer vague enticement to Princess (Paola Lázaro), he's got another thing coming
THE WALKING DEAD (Bonus Quote!)
"I'm not crazy if that's what you're thinking. I mean, there's the ADHD, the anxiety, the PTSD, the depression, the crushing loneliness and the active imagination that helps me cope with all of that, but like... maybe that's the only sane response to an insane world. You know what I'm saying?"
After beating the living daylights out of her captor, suddenly Princess (Paola Lázaro) is all of us in 2021

"I thought there was a 'no contact' order?"
"Deposition is tomorrow, so... technically I'm not a witness yet."
"Uh, that's not really how it works."
Jason (David Boreanaz) catches Clay (Max Thieriot) bending the rules
AMERICAN IDOL
"You're still going to FedEx me one of your chickens, right?"

BREEDERS
"No birthday?"
"Did you hear his f—king tone?"

Paul (Martin Freeman) and Ally (Daisy Haggard) struggle to figure out an appropriate punishment for their son, Luke
BREEDERS (Bonus Quote!)
"Toast, Leah?"
"Of course not. I haven't eaten breakfast since the '90s."
"You should eat something, Granny."
"Eating makes you fat, darling. Being fat is terrible."
"Don't listen, Ava. Granny is a lunatic."
Leah (Stella Gonet) probably isn't the best grandmother from whom to take dietary advice
BATWOMAN
"Ryan, hurry up! If you miss your window, you're going to land in the middle of the ocean, and there's no shark repellent on your utility belt!"
"Why not?"
"Because that's stupid!"

THE VOICE (Bonus Quote!)
"This network stands for Nothing But Clarkson."
Blake Shelton, suggesting that fellow coach and talk show host Kelly Clarkson has so much clout at NBC that she was able to get Adam Levine sacked
RESIDENT ALIEN
"You're lying."
"I am not."
"Yeah, you are. You have a tell."
"Oh, really, what's my tell?"
"Well, I can't tell you because then you'd know what the tell is, and you'd hide the tell from me and I wouldn't be able to tell."
"Wow, you ever thought about working for the CIA?"
"Yeah, actually... I'm waiting to hear back."

Nick (Maxwell Simkins) is well aware of his strengths and weaknesses
MAYANS MC
"All right, all right. You gonna lay off [the drugs]?"

"F—k no."

THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER (Bonus Quote!)
"Hey, it's Black Falcon! What's up?"
"It's just Falcon, kid."

"Well, technically, I mean, yes."
"So are you, like, Black Kid?"

WYNONNA EARP
"You owe me and Waverly for getting us fog-f–ked at Halloween."

"You covered Kraft Dinner with kimchi and weed."
Wynonna (Melanie Scrofano) was not impressed by Casey's (Andrew Phung)... stoner cuisine
SUPERSTORE
"When I first met you, I thought you were the most annoying person I'd ever met, with your moments of beauty, seize-the-day crap — like you'd watched Dead Poets Society too many times... I hated how cheesy you were, I hated how woke you were, I hated how often you used the word 'artisan'... But most of all, I hated how you believed that life could be better than it was. And yet, here we are, and my life is so much better than it was because of you."
Amy (America Ferrera) makes an emotional plea to Jonah to get back together — and it works!
SUPERSTORE (Bonus Quote!)
"Most jobs suck 99 percent of the time, so you really, really got to enjoy those moments that don't — those bits of fun you have during downtime... or an interesting conversation with a coworker... or something happens that you can laugh about later... or you do something that you're actually proud of. If you're lucky, maybe you get to be friends with a coworker or two along the way. I'm not sure what else you could want in a job."
Garrett (Colton Dunn) makes his final announcement, as flash-forwards reveal where everyone winds up following Cloud 9's closure
