- Detective Ray Velcoro: [about reporters] Fuck 'em. They lie without blinking... You know what one of those dog fuckers said to me once? "I'd rather be wrong and first than right and second."
- Officer Paul Woodrugh: I just don't know how to be out in the world, man.
- Detective Ray Velcoro: Hey, look out that window... Look at me... Nobody does.
- Athena Bezzerides: Why do these memories stay so vivid when I can't even remember stuff from last week?
- Detective Ani Bezzerides: Those moments, they stare back at you. You don't remember them, they remember you... Turn around, there they are... Staring.
- Eliot Bezzerides: You must have had hundreds of lives.
- Detective Ray Velcoro: I don't think I can handle another one.
- Officer Paul Woodrugh: I did everything they said, man. Army, PD... But it doesn't matter. You do what they say, it doesn't matter... Oh, fuck... Been listening to them for so fucking long that I don't even know who the fuck I am.
