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?

“Never let it be said that I value a Zenga tie over human life, even yours.”
–RR just before using his tie to attempt to save Ressler’s life. A quick Google search informed me these ties start at about $200.
“You know Anslo, I’m looking at you and I gotta say I’m really surprised…with the access you now have to top notch plastic surgeons why you haven’t done something, ANYTHING, about that horrific scar. I mean how do you wake up at that staring back at you in the mirror every morning. But you know what? It’s not the scar, it’s really the eye.”
–RR to Anslo, clearly trying to get under his skin
“It’s probably the only thing that saved your life that week, me switching ammo.”
–RR regarding his failed attempt killing Anslo after shoot him in the head
“So naturally I did what I always did, and beat you. And you did what you always did - got beaten by me.”
–RR to Anslo
“That .45 might as well be a spit-straw.”
–RR after Anslo’s attempt to shoot the confinement room he & Ressler are locked in
“And you thought we had nothing in common, there’s only 2% of us you know.”
–RR’s response to Ressler informing him that his blood type is B Neg
“The concept of a last stand sounds so heroically romantic doesn’t it Donald, but there’s a good reason we didn’t see what happened to Butch and the Sundance Kid - because being riddled with bullets and left to scorch & rot under a Bolivian sky does not a sequel make - and if you’ve surmised nothing about me by now, know this - I’m gonna be around for the sequel.”
–RR to Ressler - damn right you are RR!
“Oh come on Donald, think of how much smarter you’ll be afterwards.”
–RR referring to Ressler’s now that Ressler will have RR’s blood due to transfusion
“Allies today, enemies tomorrow - the world is a complex place, further complicated by man’s fickle nature.”

Ok. So now that I have my bearings back a bit from last night’s (still!) INDESCRIBABLE Blacklist episode, and I’ve come to terms with the fact that we have 6 more GRUELING days left before part 2 airs on Monday (and is the last episode until 2014 - WTF ARE WE GOING TO DO BLACKLISTERS???) I feel like I can perhaps a little better convey the utter spectacularness (?) of Episode 9 than I was able to last night, which was…not at all.
I cannot remember another TV show leaving me as breathtaken, heartbroken, almost hyperventilating from the conflicting feelings of the show just plain fucking kicking ass in every imaginable way possible and yet being completely overwhelmed with everything that was packed into 41 minutes last night. The last 10 minutes? Ohhhhhhhh my heart…..
(The only thing I can think of that came close was the True Blood episode when Eric took off flying into the air to locations unknown, leaving Pam devastated, after the vamps were saved from vamp prison….)
Perhaps this will give you an idea of just how incredible Ep 9 was last night: the quotes listed in this Part ONE edition of “Kick Ass Reddington Quotes” article? All occurred before the show hit the 10-minute mark!
Without further ado - - this week’s Part ONE “Kick Ass Reddington Quotes - Anslo Garrick:
"Donald! There you are!! I told you I would’ve picked you up at the airport!”
–RR’s unusually overzealous greeting when Ressler surprisingly walked into the bar RR was at in Munich
“The poor fellow has to walk a terrible tight rope every single day - I feel obliged to get him drunk every once in awhile so I invited him down - to celebrate!”
–RR’s toast regarding Ressler
“My plane’s faster.”
–RR being the BAD ASS THAT HE IS!!
“Why am I in handcuffs Harold, you’re violating our arrangement.”
–RR to Cooper 
“That condition is a constant.”
–RR’s response to Ressler about there being an imminent threat to Red’s life
“With all due respect, if the intel were worth having? Then I would have it.”
–RR to Malik’s offer to show him transcripts regarding Hilton Wells’ association with the Egyptians
“He needs me content. Land-locked. So he fed you phony intel to trigger your security protocol and now you’ve done exactly as he wished. He got you to bring me here so that he could attack THIS facility.”
Keep your eyes peeled later (or possibly tomorrow) for Part 2 of this week’s Kick Ass Reddington Quotes - the remainder of the show has some of his best quotes to date.
Also? LOVE:
With all my achin’ breakin’ Spader-lovin’ heart,

I am honestly laying here right now trying to think of words to say and i literally can’t. There’s no words for how powerful and moving and brilliant and mind fucking BLOWINGLY AMAZING and HOLY SHIT ARE YOU KIDDING ME was packed into 41 minutes of “The Blacklist” tonight.
No. Words.
