"Oakland in '87 was hella wild. The people, the culture, the music... must have had something to do with that bright green glow, and I'm not talking about the color of our underdog A's uniforms... like an electricity in the air." #FreakyTales #HBOMax #Action #Comedy #WeekendMovies #AlluringAugust

"[Shira] I'm sad we never got to do this for her. Everything was so hectic. She never got a real memorial.
[Avi] We could always still do a memorial.

"[Stanley] The public don't wanna be lied to by corrupt authority figures. They deserve to know all the information and make an informed decision." #TheTruthAboutJussieSmollett #NetflixDocumentary #TrueCrime #BlackLivesMatter #BLM #WeekendMovies #AlluringAugust
"[Chelli Stanley] When the police first arrested the brothers they refused to make any statements. They were put in several line ups with key witnesses, taxi drivers, the guard at the Sheraton, and not once were they picked out of the lineup. [Abigail Carr] There are also no forensics that placed the Osundario brothers at the scene. Two people's DNA were found on the noose, but neither belonged to the brothers. Which means, for the police hoax narrative to work, the importance of the confession of the Osundario brothers is absolutely critical. [Stanley] Interestingly, the police reports showed that the first day the brothers were in custody, more than a dozen police officers started searching their house with a warrant. They found several guns... Assault rifles, several boxes of ammunition, a 9 mm. This was kind of a cache of dangerous guns. [Carr] Now this is where it's important to distinguish Ola from Able. Because Ola is a convicted felon. In 2011, he was involved in an attempted murder, and that was pled down to aggravated battery. And he is not allowed to possess firearms. Ola could now be potentially facing the prospect of going to prison. This gives a massive advantage to the Chicago Police Department. They have huge leverage over Ola Osundario. Ola could now be potentially facing the prospect of going to prison. This gives a massive advantage to the Chicago Police Department. They have huge leverage over Ola Osundario. What happened in that interrogation room became key. The Chicago Police Department and the Osundario brothers have all said there was no deal made. But footage came across my desk that I wasn't meant to see. And it's certainly footage that you're not meant to see. And it includes a confidential conversation between Ola Osundario and his lawyer, Gloria Schmidt."

"[Ward] I wanted to show that these golden people who behave like the kings of France are just ordinary men and women.
[Bertha] That's what they won't forgive." #TheGildedAge #TheGildedAgeSeason3 #HBOseries #drama #periodpiece #AlluringAugust
"[Bertha] Now you're both at the club, and I'm here alone? I can't believe it. [George] Oh, yes, you can. You should've been expecting something of the sort. [Bertha] Why should I? [George] Because he's right. Your ambition is out of control. [Bertha] We're both ambitious. [George] True. But when was the last time you asked us what we wanted? (He crosses to the door) You should be surrounded by your family right now. But look around. (Strides out)" "[Bertha] I have a letter from Mrs. Astor today... There were too many objections when she tried to cancel the Newport ball. She wants me to take it over. [Ward] (Chuckles, she joins) Do it. Make society your own. It's your turn. [Bertha] If I did, I think I would end the ban on divorced women... [Ward] I'm curious. Would you invite me? [Bertha] No. [Ward] Their offense is not as damning as mine? [Bertha] You made a choice. Mrs. Fane is facing a situation that is no fault of her own. [Ward] And Mrs. Drayton? [Bertha] Men are forgiven for their indiscretions and women are punished. It's not fair. The truth is, there but for the grace of God go us all. [Ward] It appears that I'm not going anywhere in society, unless you can save me. [Bertha] I can't. I haven't the power. And nothing is more perilous than to overestimate your own power."

"What reason would he have to kill you?
[Ayesha] Well, it's not just why it's how. Coordinating the kidnap of 4 doctors on foreign soil, and then the riots in Leeds, I mean, that takes organization. It takes money... And authority." #Hostage #NetflixSeries #LimitedRelease #Thriller #AlluringAugust
"[PM Dalton] Good morning. For too long I've listened to the wrong voices. I've allowed myself to be lent into making the wrong decisions in an attempt to maintain my position, and I've forgotten the candidate that I was when my people first elected me. 'People want the truth from their politicians. It's the least you deserve.' Those words belong to Vivienne Toussaint, an extraordinarily brave leader. And I use them today to call a general election. (Crowd murmurs in the background) I want to be totally honest with the British people about the challenges that we face, and seek a radical new mandate, so that I can work with you to fix our country. I will be straight with you, always. Even if the answer is hard to take. Because it's the least you deserve." "[Alex] 'I had a daughter too.' That's what you told me out there. How did you lose her?"

"[Carlos] The DNA doesn't belong to Michael, it doesn't belong to Robert Springsteen... It is not any one of these four boys.
[Amber] So you have to then explain where does it come from? Well, it comes from the killer." #TheYogurtShopMurders #HBODocuseries #HBOMax #truecrime #AlluringAugust
"[Det. Paul Johnson] It was December the 6th. Do you recall it? [Robert Springsteen] We ended up going to the Rocky Horror Picture Show that night. [Johnson] Okay. [Robert] Uh, that was something I did almost twice a week, every week, when I was down there. Every Friday and Saturday night, that was just my entertainment. [Johnson] Would you be surprised if I told you that the Rocky Horror Show wasn't even showing that night, on Friday, December 6th, 1991? [Robert] Mm. Yeah, I would be. [Det. Ron Lara] Really?... [Johnson] Would you find it odd, Mr. Springsteen, that there were a lot of inconsistencies with what you gave the detective?... [Robert] I don't ever... ever remember setting foot within a hundred years of the yogurt shop. And that is the honest truth. [Lara] It's not the honest truth... [Robert] Well then, put me through a lie detector. [Lara] I don't wanna put you through a lie detector! [Robert] But then you guys are telling me you don't believe me. [Lara] Okay, but we know you were at the yogurt shop. [Robert] Prove it. [Lara] Alright-- [Robert] I hate to say it-- [Lara] We say that because we have proved it. That's why we're here. [Robert] How? [Lara] Through eye witnesses. [Robert] (sighs) ...I'm just so confused about everything because, I guess, my version of what happened and everybody else's version of what happened is two completely and totally different things... Which I don't understand. I'd thought we'd gone to the Rocky Horror Picture Show. But I've... come and found out that it was not showing that night." "[Carlos] Now after all this interrogation, Michael Scott makes the fire start on the girls. Well, that does not fit. Paul Johnson knows this. So they went and got this ATF fire guy to come and tell the jury that the fire started on the girls."

[Stephen] They were good. He's unlucky that he came against us." #TheBusDriverBritainsCocaineKing #HBODocuseries #HBOMax #Truecrime #AlluringAugust
"[Stephen] After the arrests of Ruiz Henao and Mario Tascon, because of their position within the cocaine supply, the price of cocaine in the UK doubled. [Narration] The operation to bring Jesus down is estimated to have cost around £10 million. Three months after Jesus' arrest, cocaine supply had resumed to normal levels. [Ian] From start to finish, the job took me five years. And you've disrupted them for months. It goes to the debate of whether or not you can ever police your way out of a drugs situation in the United Kingdom. "

"Initially, when these parents lost their kids, everybody wanted to talk to them... But, it's no longer in the news... Who could move on? You've lost your child. Or..two children... The story needs to have focus... it will go unsolved." #TheYogurtShopMurders #HBODocuseries #Truecrime #AlluringAugust
"[Det. Johnson] And then we got to the Maurice Pierce tip. Remember that Maurice Pierce was arrested ten days after the yogurt shop murders in Northcross Mall, which is, like, 2 blocks away, with a gun... 22-caliber. And the Maurice tip involved 4 people. Maurice Pierce himself, Robert Springsteen, Michael Scott, and... Forrest Wellborn. When I started this case, I actually thought the best I could ever do Is probably figure out in my own mind who I thought that did it, but never be able to get evidence to go to trial. And then it's like almost overnight, my whole expectation of how this might end up changed."

"[Hector] What are you grinning about? [Gladys] Oh, nothing." "[Mrs. Scott] As the pastor's wife, I shouldn't have to remind you of the verse, 'For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.' [Cousin] Dorothy, let's lower the temperature. [Mrs. Scott] My patience has worn thin, and I can no longer hold my tongue. [Mrs. Kirkland] Perhaps you should heed your cousin's warning. [Mrs. Scott] Perhaps you should get off your high horse. You have enjoyed a certain kind of privilege amongst our cable here in Newport that has created an illusion for you. [Mrs. Kirkland] And what kind of illusion is that? [Mrs. Scott] The kind that has enabled you to act without grace manners and impunity. But I am not from Newport. We will be attending the ball as a family. My husband has made a rather nice donation, because that is actually the respectable thing to do, Mrs. Kirkland... [Dr. William Kirkland] I intend to make a life with your daughter and a family. I have ample means to provide for and protect her. [Mr. Arthur Scott] And you understand that a marriage is between a man and his wife... not her parents or your own? [Dr. William Kirkland] (beams) Yes, sir."

"[Sophie] You know those things will kill you. [Margo] All the best things will... (Chuckles) " "[Callie] Well, then just be real with me. It's like you put up these walls, just these walls, like you've got to be perfect. But you are perfect just the way you are. I see you. [Margo] It was you..." "We mourn today, not for the dead, but for ourselves. We mourn... because we want answers. But the Scripture tells us that all the answers we seek will be found in and be found by our awesome God. Ecclesiasties 12, 7-14: "The chosen return to their eternal home, and the mourners returned to the streets, and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it. 'Vanity of vanities,' saith the Lord. 'All is vanity.' Now, it is written that God's lessons are like a staff driven through with spikes by a shepherd. Painful to the flock, but they are necessary. Of anything beyond these lessons, we should beware. Lest the Lords house tremble, strong men fall. Day becomes eternal night. 'And now the end of the matter has all been heard. Fear God! And keep God's commandments, for God will bring every deed into judgment...' ...whether it is good... or evil."

"I've always dreamed of looking death in the face. But in my final moments, all I hear is my mother's words ringing in my ears. Maybe I have made everything worse. Much worse." #Wednesday #NetflixSeries #Netflix #Fantasy #Mystery #AlluringAugust
"There once was a brilliant boy with a fragile heart. He spent his days in bed, drawing all the incredible machines he planned to build someday. Now the doctors, they only gave him months to live. So he decided to design his own heart. So that his body could keep up with his dazzling mind. The operation was successful. But the clockwork heart, it changed the boy. He became cold and driven by ambition. When he arrived at Nevermore, he was hailed as the greatest mind to ever walk the halls. But his inventions became more dangerous. Until one night... his genius cost him his life. Now, legend has it, his body is buried at the foot of the Skull Tree in an unmarked grave. But if you put your ear to the skull's hollow left eye... you can still hear his clockwork heart. Tick, tick, tick. Only the bravest in Caliban Hall have ventured out at night to take the dare to listen to the tick of the clockwork heart. So will you?" "[Wednesday] Aunt Ophelia was sent to Willow Hill. Why? [Morticia] Ask your grandmama. It was her decision. [Wednesday] You accuse me of keeping secrets, but you're no better. Maybe that's where I get it from. [Morticia] In her sophomore year... Ophelia was found screaming in the quad. Black tears running down cheeks. She had pushed her psychic ability too far. That's when she was sent away. But unlike you... I did grovel. I pleaded with Grandmama that Ophelia would only get worse in Willow Hill. That her problems weren't mental, they were psychic. But my appeals fell on deaf ears. Grandmama was always better at burying things than fixing them. [Grandmama] (She entered at some point during Morticia's explanation) Old memories are like old corpses. They never quite seem the same when you dig them up. [Morticia] Mama... what an unpleasant surprise."

"The yogurt shop murders was like a ghost story that people told. It was always told in hush tones... Partly because nobody has all the details. Also because it was never solved... the kinda case that never left anyone who worked on it." #TheYogurtShopMurders #HBODocuseries #AlluringAugust
"[Jones] There's a lot of things that we did in this case that hadn't been done before. We sent undercover guys to the funerals and had it mic'd up just in case somebody showed up to apologize. We pulled every ticket that was written and that was written in that part of town, we called two or three times for all of the customers that had been in the yogurt shop. Without video evidence, we're depending on people answering the call through the media. The ones that use credit cards, we knew. But we got quite a few in that used cash. Everybody wanted to help... Something else we did in the yogurt shop case, we hypnotized everybody that was in the shop. Maybe they'd seen something the night they were in there that looked fairly unusual. That's how we got composites (sketches) from several of them, is we put them under hypnosis... How close we were to the families, that's something else we did that was pretty unique. They were pretty much a part of the investigation. I mean, they could come and go. They kind of walked in a couple times when we were jacking-up some suspects, but, you know. (Chuckles)"
