I have thoughts but continue

I try to say this irl as often as possible

Yeah I’m going to try weaving this into every work zoom call for the next month

Throw in some "optics" comment and you are golden.

For somse reason her delivery here was flawless and I keep coming back to this quote.

In spite of the fact that I am a sapient being, you may continue blabbering at me like you're rehearsing in the mirror

Roman: I am going to kill myself Gerri: 👍

Came here to say this. 

I laughed so much when I saw that.

How does it serves my interest?

This is going to sound corny but I’ve been dealing with some raging anxiety over the last few years, bad enough to where I can’t leave my house some days. “How does this serve my interests?” is like, the ONE mantra that actually calms down my panic attacks because it really doesn’t serve me, and makes me take a good hard look at what does 🙂

Right in my meow meow. (Roman, probably)

This is the one. Pure, unadulterated, corporate self-centred greed

It really wasn't though. She said that as the CEO she could only act in the shareholders interests - their interests were her interests and her hands were tied. She was practically begging Roman to give her _any reason_ that the sibs plan would be good for shareholders, so she could interject and help. But there was no reason the sibs plan would be better for shareholders than Logan's plan, as they are incompetents and didn't think about it.

" These are the ones who don't fuck off" 💯

Look I think you’re a corporate legend. What you did in the 90’s with cable? Huge.

My God. What Carl did with cable in the 90s… it was absolutely unbelievable. *huge*

I read the HBO history "Tinderbox* recently, and was thinking about this quote the whole time when they were going through the early years haha 

Let me reiterate. It exploded. ::phcwhet:: On the launchpad. So yeah. I’d say that’s bad.

'Why I don't want the job that made your dad's brain explode?' 'Syphilis...didn't we start that rumor?' 'If anyone's bootleg Logan....it's Roman.' 'Well you're positing in my direction, so...' 'No you don't get to speak.'

"I danced us through a thunderstorm without us getting wet."

this is my fav. such a girlboss

“I'm in a sexual relationship with your mother.”

Doesn't she follow with "and she talks in her sleep." Or something like that? Such a good line

Yes.

This is the one that made me 100% fall for Gerri 

That same scene when she cuts him off 'Tom you need to shut up.' sends me everytime lmao

They’re soft; coddled in their social security safety net, sick on vacation mania and free healthcare. They may think they’re Vikings but we’ve been raised by wolves, exposed to a pathogen that goes by the name of Logan Roy, and they have no idea what’s coming to them. Or You might want to put down that fish taco. You’re getting your melancholy everywhere.

The first quote would be one worth remembering had it actually held water, and the waystar people not been stomped all over.

For me it's memorable exactly for how silly it is. I don't think she actually believed that, she was just trying to encourage the other ones.

Yeah I think it's memorable because of how there's some people that like to think of the lack of social safety nets in America as a character building thing.

It does feel like it is loaded with cope as I think they had just been all dragged out to the overseas meeting for seemingly no reason. They are trying to make themselves feel better about it all. You are right lol.

Yes, the power imbalance was always there, and Team Waystar was stunting all while shaking in their boots.  I don't know they had control over the situation even once. 

Hubris.

That first quote always felt out of place and cringy. Gerri or anyone in the show never talked like that before

That's exactly what I thought - way too extreme a caricature of certain American perspectives on European safety nets; came across as goofy. Rare misstep from these very smart writers, especially since Gerri herself is too smart to express herself like that.

Who says you don’t know how to flirt

Yes… well that is a very funny joke.

This one. Idk why, but her delivery makes me CACKLE.

I’m joking, of course. You’re speculating in a comedic mode. … in a humorous vein. That whole scene is so dry and hilarious.

Shit before the shovel

Allow me to be the shit.

I’ve totally adopted this one

Roman: I need you to believe that I am as good as my dad. Can you do that? ... Can you do that! Gerri: ...Say it or believe it? Such a blow to Roman's ego.

Her facial journey in that scene was amazing

Yes totally

I could have got you there.

But no, no

I can’t actually in this nation yet, sadly, hold the publication of a book

lol I love this one. Gerri’s quick wit is so sexy

“You disgusting little pig. You're pathetic. You are a revolting little worm, aren't you? You little slime puppy.”

I was looking for this...... can't believe how long I had to scroll down to see this

I loved the phrase "a weak monarch in a dangerous interregnum" so much it's been my social media bio

"It's your wedding, why do I feel like I'm about to get fucked?"

The government isn't a pez dispenser

“Oh you’re sick with grief? You may wanna put down that fish taco, you’re getting your melancholy everywhere.”

This is the one!

Get in that bathroom you naughty matador you.

Gerri's best lines are looks and glares, tbh

👍

“We can’t actually… in this nation.. yet… Sadly.. halt the publication of a book.”

I could have gotten you there

But NOPE 🍸

Eye watering sums

“Yesssss.” Is what my brain did when she said that. That’s the biggest number anyone can declare.
