Quotes 

• Jeryn Hogarth : You need to pull yourself together. You're coming across distinctly paranoid.

  Jessica Jones : Everyone keeps saying that. It's like a conspiracy.

• Jessica Jones : [tantrum at the Eastmans]  You think you're the only ones who've lost people? You think you're the only ones with pain? You think you can take your shit and dump it on me? You don't get to do that! So you take your goddamn pain and you live with it, assholes! You lost your parents? Welcome to the goddamn club! I lost mine in some random accident! Do you see me trying to kill every shitty driver? No! Because I don't work my shit out on other people! So keep your goddamn feelings to YOURSELF!

  [pause] 

  Jessica Jones : Ninety-nine. You wanted to know how many of us there are? The last time I counted, I had ninety-nine Gifted friends. In this borough alone. And now, every single one of them is going to know about the shit you tried to pull... And they hate attempted murder, they really do. The cops hate it too, you know, because it's against the law.

  Carlo Eastman : Please don't kill us. We're gonna leave you alone.

  Jessica Jones : There's only one thing that you can do to save yourselves.

  Audrey Eastman : What?

  Jessica Jones : Disappear. Nobody, especially me, ever hears from you again. Me and my friends will stop by tomorrow to make sure you heard me.

  [Leaves] 

  Carlo Eastman : I want a divorce.

• Jessica Jones : You good?

  Malcolm Ducasse : You care?

  Jessica Jones : Just don't wanna be another reason for you to get high.

  Malcolm Ducasse : Don't need a reason.

• Audrey Eastman : Get her on the plastic.

  Carlo Eastman : How?

  Audrey Eastman : I have a gun on her for Christ's sake Carlo!

  Jessica Jones : You shoot at me, I'll pull the bullet out of my ruined jacket and shove it up your ass with my pinky finger, and who do you think that's gonna hurt more?

• Jessica Jones : The kind of pictures you're asking for, they're hard to look at. They're harder to forget.

  Audrey Eastman : That's what I pay my shrink for.

  Jessica Jones : Circle of life.

• Jessica Jones : Saying the words doesn't make it true. Remember acting? It's how you won that award.

  Trish Walker : My mom blew half the jury to get me that award. It might not have been about my acting.

• Jeryn Hogarth : [after Jessica talks with Kilgrave's other victims]  What was that about?

  Jessica Jones : We're starting a band. I told them to keep in touch. Talk.

  Jeryn Hogarth : You starting a support group? Will you be participating?

  Jessica Jones : Like I'd waste my time circle jerking with a bunch of whiners.

  Jeryn Hogarth : Yes, you are a paragon of mental health.

• Jessica Jones : Look, you're obviously pissed off about something, but I'm pretty sure for the first time this has nothing to do with Kilgrave - he's smarter than you two.

  Audrey Eastman : Kilgrave? Who's Kilgrave? Is he another one of you people? How many more are there like you?

  Jessica Jones : How many more what, private eyes?

  Audrey Eastman : "Gifted". Stupid word. It's like calling someone "special". You're not "special", you're retarded. You're not "gifted", you're a freak.

  Jessica Jones : What have we, or the mentally challenged, ever done to you?

  Audrey Eastman : "You saved the city." That's what the newspapers said: "You were heroes."

  Jessica Jones : [confused]  Not me.

  Audrey Eastman : "The city was saved"... But I was there. I saw what really happened... I saw my mother crushed to death under a building that you people destroyed.

  Jessica Jones : In the incident?

  Audrey Eastman : I was trying to pull my mother out from the rubble, watching her bleed to death... While all around me, you people were raining down hell!

  Jessica Jones : So go after the big green guy, or the flag waver - I wasn't even there!

  Audrey Eastman : Consider it a preventative measure for next time!

• Jessica Jones : [Interviewing potential Kilgrave victims]  Start at the beginning.

  Stoner : I went into 7-Eleven for a bag of Doritos, you know? And then this Chinese dude comes in, and his eyes were all red and glowing, and I was like, 'Dude!'

  Mom : My Lucy is a nice girl. A virgin. Tell them. Go ahead.

  Pregnant Teen : Kilgrave made me do it. He's our gardener.

  Crackpot : ...He landed on Jones Beach. I thought it was a meteor. But then, a man came out of the waves...

• Jeryn Hogarth : Wendy has decided to make this divorce very difficult for me, and I need dirt on her.

  Jessica Jones : That's why you called me? I have a gun-toting client, a spy to find-...

  Jeryn Hogarth : You owe me a favor.

  Jessica Jones : You were married to her. You already have dirt.

  Jeryn Hogarth : She didn't know mine.

  Jessica Jones : Well, you're sneaky. That doesn't mean she is.

• Jeryn Hogarth : Kilgrave wanted a leather jacket, live cello music, and the flattering smile of a pretty girl. What a waste. He could solve so many problems with his gift.

  Jessica Jones : Gift?

  Jeryn Hogarth : I just meant if... If he was on our side.

  Jessica Jones : [Angry]  What side would that be? The side that uses people? Treats them like animals? Just to throw them away like they're garbage? The side that rips your life apart and destroys you from the inside out? Whose side exactly would that be?

• Jessica Jones : Audrey was right about her husband. Carlo's clearly not in a hurry to get home. Cases like this remind me of why I'm single.

• Trish Walker : What if the apology didn't work?

  Jessica Jones : Then I'll deal with it. Look, I'm with a client right now. Sort of.

  Trish Walker : How can you trust any client after what happened with Hope's parents?

  Jessica Jones : I don't, which is why I've been following her since dawn.

  Trish Walker : Following who?

  Jessica Jones : A jealous wife.

  Trish Walker : Jess, come on, I-I need the distraction.

  Jessica Jones : Fine. A jewelry designer. Audrey Eastman.

  Trish Walker : Overpriced, chunky enamel stuff? Well, if she is mind-controlled, that would explain some of her jewelry.

  Jessica Jones : It's not like she needs the money. Her parents died and left her a fortune, but all she does is work.

  Trish Walker : Cheating husband... she's compartmentalizing.

  Jessica Jones : Useful skill.

  Trish Walker : How will you know if she's Kilgraved?

  Jessica Jones : His effect has limits.

  Trish Walker : Right, time and distance. But you can't follow her forever.

  Jessica Jones : I've never seen his voodoo last longer than ten hours, twelve tops. If he doesn't show soon, I'll... do the job and take pictures of the cheater with his pants around his ankles. Nothing plays like pictures.

• Jessica Jones : [narrating]  All it takes is one word, one suggestion, and they're no longer in control. All they know is a singular intense need to follow me... to photograph me... to not get caught. Kilgrave's spy has no distractions... just an acute focus on me. Fortunately... not Luke. No photos of him. He should be safe.

• Audrey Eastman : It's Carlo. I... I thought I'd gotten used to his lies and his wandering penis. My lawyer says that I need pictures for the divorce. Of Carlo and his...

  Jessica Jones : Mistress.

  Audrey Eastman : Skank! Nothing plays like pictures in court. He'll ask for alimony. I'm not giving him shit. I need you to catch him in flagrante. You know, in the act...

  Jessica Jones : I know what "in flagrante" means.

• Jessica Jones : Kilgrave knows you're afraid of him, and that's all he cares about.

  Trish Walker : Men and power, it's seriously a disease.

  [Jessica spots a man taking pictures nearby] 

  Trish Walker : I mean, superpowered man, but... Jess?

  [heading towards the photographer, she realizes it's just a husband taking pictures with his wife] 

  Trish Walker : Jess? Jess, are you okay?

  Jessica Jones : Yeah, I just thought I... saw someone I knew.

  Trish Walker : Yeah, no Teen Choice Award for you. Talk.

  Jessica Jones : Kilgrave's been surveilling me. Taking pictures.

  Trish Walker : Why?

  Jessica Jones : I don't know. So he can record me imploding as he tortures me? The spy could be anyone or everyone. It's been going on for weeks. I had no idea.

  Trish Walker : Just breathe, okay? He isn't here now.

  Jessica Jones : [pointing to her head]  Yeah, well, he's always here.

• Audrey Eastman : Carlo thinks I'm an idiot. But I can smell it on him every time he sneaks into bed at 3:00 in the morning. Wouldn't be his first affair, either. Some people can't keep their lives in check. They just go along blindly ruining the lives of everyone in their path. I'm sick of pretending it doesn't matter. How long have you been in business?

  Jessica Jones : Why do you ask?

  Audrey Eastman : I want to know that if I write you a check, you'll stick around long enough to earn it.

  Jessica Jones : I'll earn it.

• Audrey Eastman : Look, I... I don't care if you have to knock down his door to do it. I want you to get those pictures. In fact, I want him to know that he is being photographed.

  Jessica Jones : So that's it? Follow your husband and take sex pictures?

  Audrey Eastman : Isn't that enough?

  Jessica Jones : And your divorce lawyer. Dexter...

  Audrey Eastman : Desmond Tobey.

  Jessica Jones : Tobey, right. He referred you to me himself?

  Audrey Eastman : Yes, I already told you that.

  Jessica Jones : And you haven't had any conversations with a British man? Dark hair, well-dressed?

  Audrey Eastman : What?

  Jessica Jones : [taking paperwork out of her desk]  Standard contract. I require a 50% deposit up front.

• Audrey Eastman : Did you follow him?

  Jessica Jones : Wait, what?

  Audrey Eastman : Where are you? Jessica? Hello? Jessica?

  [suspicious, Jessica hangs up, and she can hear Audrey through the door] 

  Audrey Eastman : Are you there? Jessica? Can you hear me? Where... where is Carlo?

  Jessica Jones : [opening the doors]  He's three feet to your right, asshole.

• Carlo Eastman : You're bulletproof?

  [Jessica shrugs; Audrey fires her gun, and Jessica yelps in pain] 

  Carlo Eastman : Jesus!

  Audrey Eastman : Nope, not bulletproof.

  Carlo Eastman : Audrey, this is insane. Honey, we don't have to do this. We can walk out of here right now...

  Audrey Eastman : She doesn't have laser eyes, either, or she would have used them.

  Jessica Jones : Laser eyes? Who said I had laser eyes? Oh, that dick with the Aston Martin. I served him a subpoena.

  Audrey Eastman : Gregory Spheeris. I sell to his wife. They're very talky.

• Pam : [Jessica bursts into Jeri's office]  She won't wait. She wouldn't listen.

  Jessica Jones : [referring to Pam's dress]  I couldn't hear you over that print.

• Jessica Jones : I need to know if your firm represents Audrey Eastman. She says she's with Desmond Tobey.

  Jeryn Hogarth : Well, then you should be invading Tobey's office.

  Jessica Jones : I did. Are "attorney/client privilege" the only words that he knows? He wouldn't even tell me if he referred her to me.

  Jeryn Hogarth : What's going on? You're on edge.

  Jessica Jones : The last people referred to me wound up dead in my elevator. If Audrey Eastman follows the same path, she won't be able to pay her legal bills.

  Jeryn Hogarth : She is a client, I'll confirm that.

  Jessica Jones : And do you trust him? Tobey?

  Jeryn Hogarth : He's a partner.

  Jessica Jones : That's not an answer.

  Jeryn Hogarth : He's handling my own divorce, so, yes, I trust him.

  Jessica Jones : Okay, good. That's all I need to know.

• Jessica Jones : Your text said it was urgent.

  Jeryn Hogarth : It is.

  Jessica Jones : Yet there's no gun to your head. I don't like being summoned.

  Jeryn Hogarth : Quelle surprise. I have a job for you.

  Jessica Jones : Who are all these people?

  Jeryn Hogarth : They claim they were mind-controlled by Kilgrave. You should have seen the ones we turned away.

  Jessica Jones : Maybe some of them are legit.

  Jeryn Hogarth : Oh, please. That "Trish Talk" interview turned him into the most popular alibi in the city.

• Chanise : Are you Jessica?

  Jessica Jones : Yeah. Where are your parents?

  Chanise : Patsy Walker is safe.

  Jessica Jones : What did you say?

  Chanise : You don't have to worry about her, for now.

  Jessica Jones : Who told you that?

  Chanise : The man. He said he liked her apology.

  Jessica Jones : How old are you?

  Chanise : Eight and a half.

  Jessica Jones : I'm sorry that this is happening to you.

  Chanise : You're a bitch. You could have stopped that bus. You left him there to die in the street, like a god damn dog.

  Jessica Jones : Stop it.

  Chanise : You turn everything to shit.

  Jessica Jones : Jesus!

  Chanise : It's Friday.

  Jessica Jones : What do... what... what does that mean?

  Chanise : Don't you have a job to do?

• Jessica Jones : [spying on her client at a gun range]  Thirteen hours and no Kilgrave, but... she's planning to use that on someone. Maybe the wandering penis?
