Jericho Quotes

Mimi: [about Trish] Did you see that skin? It's like porcelain. That girl's never had a restless night's sleep in her life. And here I am running five miles a day so my butt doesn't hit my ankles!

TV Show: Jericho
Hawkins: You know, if you were smart, you'd let three months go by. Wait until everything calms down and then you would go in there quietly in the middle of the night and you would kill Constantino in his sleep. 'Cause that I would understand. But this, this is just you making a big show out of it, Jake, and it is both dangerous and stupid.

Mimi: I'm sorry I asked you to marry me.
Stanley: No, look, I was gonna ask you!
Mimi: You were?
Stanley: I was, yes. I had it all planned out. I was gonna propose the way my father proposed to my mother.
Mimi: How'd he do it?
Stanley: He asked her.

TV Show: Jericho
Mimi: What's that?
Stanley: It's my mother's wedding ring, now please, be quiet. I've never loved anybody the way I love you. And I can't remember my life before you and...and, uh [gets down on one knee] now I really don't think I could live without you. Listen, I'll do whatever it takes to make you happy, I swear to God. So, will you marry me?
[Mimi nods and gasps out a laugh]
Stanley: See, now..now you can talk.
Mimi: Yes. Yes.

Stanley: This is a big day! You get to be an accountant again. Account things, add things up, maybe even a little subtraction, right?
Mimi: I have to say, I cannot wait to work in that office. You wouldn't believe how organized the Jennings and Rall people are. Everything is bar-coded. I have so missed bar-codes and spreadsheets. I mean every component and package and foodstuff, every ounce is accounted for; where's its been and where its going. Oh, I had forgotten how beautiful order can be.
Stanley: That's probably the most boring story I've heard in months.

TV Show: Jericho
Beck: Sheriff Green? Nice uniform.
Jake: [lifting up casual jacket to show badge pinned to jeans] I'm pacing myself.

Mimi: I'm still trying to figure out how to make our wedding registry vital to national security.
Stanley: You're already planning our wedding registry?
Mimi: Oh, since I was twelve. And I've already taken off the list luxury items that we already have such as your Star Wars collectors' glasses.

TV Show: Jericho
Tomarchio: You've lost loved ones, and here you are again; still strong, still proud. This is the best of America. But infighting has left us weak and vulnerable to our enemies. Remnants of the old Federal government has fallen back to Columbus, Ohio. After the attacks that government endlessly debated our response. So, in a vacuum of leadership I acted to let the world know that America was down, but not out! The Federal government of the eastern block states no longer has any governing authority beyond the Mississippi. You've seen the flag. This is the flag of a new country, flying from the Mississippi to the Pacific. The thirteen stripes of red and white still represent the thirteen colonies, but they run in a new direction, just as we must chart a new direction for ourselves. In a few short weeks Mayor Anderson will represent you as we ratify a constitution for this new nation, that will be known to the world by a new name; The Allied States of America! And with this new name, a clean slate. Our debts have been forgiven, and we are open again for business. That means jobs, stocked shelves, a return to life as we knew it. And in the fall we'll have elections where we can all take part in building a new government, as a safer, stronger America. God bless you, and God bless the Allied States of America!

Eric: [about his mother] You should be glad she's not here. She would have thrown that new history book right in the president's face.
Gray: Oh, come on…
Eric: He wasn't elected, Gray. How does a government no one voted for change the constitution? We found time to have an election. Of all people I think you would have remembered that.

TV Show: Jericho
Beck: Mr. Goetz has already informed me of your previous run-ins.
Jake: Yeah, did he tell you about the massacre he and his men carried out in Rogue River? Did he give you a head count on how many people he murdered in New Bern?

TV Show: Jericho
Goetz: [to Jake] This is a brand new building, and this is my office. In that office is a desk, and on that desk is a folder; the Jennings and Rall corporate dossier for Jake Green. Let me try to put it in perspective for you, Jake. You got a very interesting period of employment with JR. Especially Safa, Iraq. Remember Safa. You heard stories about me, you think you know who I am… I wonder what the people of Safa must think about you?

Heather: Three doctors on this radio frequency said the risk of the generic stuff being dangerous is almost nil. But somehow there's only one legally approved source.
Jake: J and R.

TV Show: Jericho
Heather: How many people have you lost since then?
Woman on Radio: Hard to say… about [static]…twenty.
Heather: I'm sorry, you're breaking up. It sounds like you've lost twenty people in the last week?
Woman on Radio: Sorry, two hundred and twenty. Around two-twenty.

TV Show: Jericho
Beck: My wife was in Santa Fe when the attacks came. After that, uh…
Heather: I'm sorry.
Beck: I have to hope that she's okay. Until then I do my job. And I, uh, I trust that wherever she is, some army major is looking after her the way I try to look after the people under my charge.

TV Show: Jericho
Deputy Sheriff Kohler: It's Fort Knox back there.
Jake: What is that?
Deputy Sheriff Kohler: Thumb-print scanner. Getting that room ready to house 'classified' information, pretty short list of people that will have access.
Jake: Let me guess, I'm not on it?
Deputy Sheriff Kohler: But, if it's any consolation, you now hold the distinction of being the first Jericho sheriff, in history, who doesn't have a key to the sheriff's office.

Jake: Stanley asked me to return this to you. [hands over bottle of alcohol] Find another way into town, quit using his property.
Dale: It's the safest way in.
Jake: It's not a suggestion, Dale.

Jake: It's not gonna wait twelve hours.
Beck: Well, it's gonna have to. Things are coming apart at the seams in New Bern right now. And you have my word, tomorrow I'm gonna get into this but for tonight I'm trusting that you can keep things under control here. That means Goetz is off limits. No threats, no retribution, no exceptions. Do you understand?

TV Show: Jericho
Russell (to Heather): The resistance in New Bern has placed a bounty on your head. We were sent to collect it. Is there a place we can talk?

TV Show: Jericho
Eric: When April died all I could think about was I hadn't done enough. That it was my fault.
Stanley: When my parents died I did that. I blamed myself, and I hated myself for being alive. But there was this little girl to take care of.

TV Show: Jericho
Jake: It's not about convincing one man he's wrong. It's a whole system.
E. J. Green: You think it's impossible? This has all happened before. If the names weren't Jennings & Rall, they would be names like... the British East India Trading Company. If it wasn't Ravenwood, it'd be the Hessian Mercenaries. And it all comes down to the same thing...
Jake: Revolution.
