Quotes Of The Week: Abbott Elementary, Stargirl, White Lotus, Titans And More
The final month of the year has, somehow, already arrived — but we've still got a few Quotes of the Week compilations left before we close out 2022.
In the list below, we've gathered more than 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, we've got four words of fatherly advice from Yellowstone's John, a question that only The White Lotus' Tanya McQuoid would ask, a major announcement from Titans' Tim, and an NCIS: Los Angeles bromance that's just not meant to be.
Also featured in this week's roundup: double doses of Survivor and The Sex Lives of College Girls, plus quotable moments from Abbott Elementary, Stargirl, Criminal Minds: Evolution 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!

It's like every single one of the Peanut kids is out to get me, and it's just like, ugh, this sucks!"
