The Blacklist: Kickass Reddington Quotes (S1:E12) The Alchemist

“He’s killed women, children… infants if need be.”
-RR to Lizzie about the latest Blacklist target, The Alchemist, but more importantly another example of the show’s seemingly repeated theme of helping women and children, which I believe will be a major (if not THE major) plot line that ties the show together, both with regards to Reddington’s past & what happened to his family, Lizzie’s past, Red’s interest in her, who mostly comprises Red’s Blacklist, what drives him and why, his motivation behind everything he does….even Dembe was a victim of human trafficking when he was younger and was saved by Reddington from The Courier.

“I’ve also included a couple of my favorite Richard Pryor records, I want to try to inject a little levity into the proceedings, I mean Julian looks so crabby all the time.”
–RR regarding his Tibetan Singing Bowl gift containments

“If you find The Alchemist, you have a chance to resurrect the dead.”
–RR to Lizzie

“Ahh, the Germans…. despite the headlines, they’re still the best at keeping an eye on their fellow man.”
–RR to researcher

The Blacklist: Kickass Reddington Quotes - (S1:E11) The Good Samaritan

“I want you to tell me about your friend - the man with the apple.” (We now know the people monitoring the Keen household are not working for Red….)

“You have such a pretty face. And a paramedic. What a shame.”

“I don’t know about serial killers, but i do know about torture, and there is no ‘one size fits all.’ If you really want to hurt someone you need to tailor your attacks specifically to that person. Perhaps the killers’ methods, the injuries he inflicts, tell you less about him and more about his victims.”

“Oh, yes, Theodore, we’re going to talk alright.”

“Honestly, I don’t understand you Theodore. With all the business you do and you’re still funneling the money thru your night source..paying your contracts with 5’s and 10’s because you’re still too cheap to pay the commission for clean cash.”

“First time I ever smoked a cigar was with Marnie Peterson in 5th grade..funny little bat-faced girl - I adored her.”

“There’s been a nasty bit of business, blood shed…lives lost… modicum of torture…”

The interaction between Red and Aram when Reddington was testing/deciding whether Aram was the mole was just too brilliant to fully do justice to by typing the words. You Blacklisters know the scene of which I speak. Epic.

“Janice if you don’t stop your yammering I’m going to have to shoot thru this door, which will be a shame because I won’t have any idea what I’m shooting at.”

“If you would have come to me, I would have helped you. We could have avoided all this.”
–RR to Newton just before killing him

“I’ll take care of your family, whatever they need.”

“My house is clean. And yours….*shakes head* is not. The deficit that I found in my organization could not have supplied all the knowledge required for the incursion to take place. That would’ve been supplied by someone with far greater access. Therefore we’re back where we began: me speaking with you.”

FAVORITE QUOTE OF THE EPISODE:
“No. I’m going to find somebody else and kill them."
–RR in response to Aram asking whether Red was going to kill him. Bad. Ass.

The Blacklist: Kickass Reddington Quotes - The Best of the Best (So Far)

By: Baby Z

In anticipation of NEXT WEEK’S NEW EPISODE (FINALLY OMG) I compiled this best of the best “Kickass Reddington Quotes” using the following criteria: Which ones best encapsulate the show & Reddington so far. Here’s what I came up with:

“Let me put your mind at ease, I am never telling you everything.”

“The world is rarely a fair place, that’s why it needs people like me.”

“Every cause has more than one affect. Say what you will about Frederick, but someone was willing to burn the world down to protect the one person they care about. That’s a man I understand.”

“You may not like me. You may not understand how or why I do what I do, but I’m here because you want answers to questions you haven’t even thought of yet.”

“He’ll always be there for her, standing in the shadows, keeping her safe.”

“With all due respect, if the intel were worth having? Then I would have it.”

“We become who we are. You can’t judge a book by its cover, but you can by its first few chapters and most certainly by its last.”

”If you kill HER, you’d better kill me… because I WILL kill you.”

“Lizzie, I want you to know — wherever I am, whatever I’m doing, if you are in need, I will be there.”

Which ones would you add?
