Since we have one for movies, it's only right we have one for TV Series. I'm quite sure there are various lines from shows that someone enjoyed or stuck a cord on some level.
I'll start this off with a quote from a brand new show.
American Gods
Mr. Nancy/Anansi the Spider God: (speaking to a cargo hold of captive Africans on their way to America to become slaves)
"Once upon a time, a man got fucked. Now, how's that for a story? Because that's the story of black men in America. Oh, you all don't know you're black yet. Well, let me be the first to tell you that you are all black. The moment these Dutch motherfuckers set foot here and decided that they are white and you get to be black, and that's the nice name that they call you. Let me paint a picture of what's waiting for you on the shore. You arrive in America, land of opportunity, milk and honey and guess what? You all get to be slaves. Split up, sold off and worked to death! The lucky ones get Sunday off to sleep, fuck, make more slaves and all for what? Cotton? Indigo? For a fuckin' purple shirt? The only good news is the tobacco your grandkids are going to farm for free is going to give a shitload of these white motherfuckers cancer. And I ain't even started yet. A hundred years later, you're fucked! A hundred years after that? Fucked! A hundred years after you get free, you still gettin' fucked outta jobs and shot at by police, you see what I'm sayin'?
(pauses to look over the captives for their reactions)
"This guy gets it. I like him. He's gettin' angry. Angry is good. Angry. Gets. Shit. Done."
