We have all talked about our fave Hal quotes here countless times, but I was rather surprised to realise that we do not have a topic dedicated just to them.

Being Human series 4 is full to brimming with genius lines for Hal..what are your favourites?

This Tumblr post contains several of mine!

Lets see, my fav Hal quote would have to be........ 

"Im not your preforming monkey"

and the awesomeness of the line that follows 

"Im a vampire, He's a werewolf. Any questions?" fangs

And I see you put my signature quote Domino

a "preforming" monkey is an interesting concept Sami! Oh yes, you made an excellent choice for your siggy

You think I'm relaxing. This is me holding on by my fingernails."

"You make me do that I won't be responsible for my actions."

"Then it is time to declare your intentions. First write her a poem and then speak to her father."

"I knew a ghost whose unfinished business was to castrate her brother-in-law. Something to do with inappropriate Salsa dancing."

"It's not dissatisfaction. It's a feeling more akin to having been born in captivity. A sinking realization that you're dreams are just too big, too rich for this domestic world."

" I like your neck."

"Jesus Christ".... "Not Quite"

"And we have this?....and i had a shield...a red one!"

I also love the quote about people calling for their God but he never came (to hugely and badly paraphrase)

I agree with you Lisa, Episode 2, '1955' has some incredible Hal speeches, I think I literally held my breath as Damien delivered the lines of both the major ones in the pawn shop.

Another fave Hal line from the same episode:

"You don’t think this is intended to help us bond do you, Some random quest he imagines will bring us together?"

Wonderful moments Lisa for me these are more the delivery than the actual line..although isn't that always the case with Damien?

That "ha" mimic is astounding I remember being genuinely dumbstruck the first time.

"He could've been" is filled with such heart aching pathos... oh Hal

"You don't know..what you're asking..."

"We're both quite dark, in our own little ways"

The 'ha!" scene mimicking Alex in the cellar.

The swear word that slips out when he realises he's locked in. It's just so very...British. :D

Also the scene in 'A Spectre Calls' with Kirby in the kitchen "he could've been" regarding being friends with Tom.

I think the first one of these is my most favorite Hal line. (I couldnt get the first to copy without the other one coming with it but the other quote is quite a good one also )

I chuckle when Hal says "a barn?" in such outraged tones.

And when he wakes from his blood-drunken stupor and says 'something something something' as well as the dressing up box quote that Su eventually had tattooed on her arm.

Not strictly a Hal quote from within series 4, but one of the bonus scenes we were treated to:

"Keeps the brain and fingers nimble" !

At work today I told someone that I was " 'holding on by my fingernails' while 'circling the drain' ".........I got a blank look!

 

Decided to add a signature quote too.  Don't think anyone else is using it and I rather like the double meaning when taken out of context

lol!

so many laughs...

"people on board a ship that's capsizing don't use that many
exclamation marks"



but also the heavier ones were great lines too..

"drinking blood means I have become the man i fear. drinking blood
is the overture to catastrophe."


"trust me, you don't want to see a world where i am leading the
vampires"
(reminded me of Annie, and the Hal of the future she had been shown by Eve...)

"500 years of murder and torment, round and round we go....evil
doesn't die, it just passes like a parcel, from year to year, body to
body... i live on i survive while good people die around me, heroes
die.."

I've had real trouble deciding.  I love all of the above, and there are many others, but I thought I'd get these in before ep 2 happens...

 

'I should've left a clue like, I dunno, locking him in a cellar and tying him to a fucking radiator'

The scene is really emotionally charged,  Crumb is on the loose, they've started bickering, and things are not good for Hal.  The last thing you would expect to do at such a moment is laugh - but that's what I love so much about being human.  And it's so totally in character for Hal to say!

 

'I've been dry for over 60 years'

This gives me the chills!  Just for that moment, while he's talking to Mr Rook, a different Hal emerges.  He's boastful, arrogant, and above all it's a lie......even if you ignore the 2 glasses he had with Cutler, and the licking blood off the floor, it's still a lie.  It puts my heart in my mouth!

 

'Then we kill him - yes, I remember that bit'

The 1918 flashback scenes show a side of Hal that we've not seen before.  He's still arrogant, ****y and confident but less 'carnal' than in 1855, and less sadistic than 1955.  He appears contented, capable of forming friendships......and flirtatious.  And I loved him!  I presume that we will see more of this story, but I doubt that we're going to see any more of this Hal so I had to put in a 1918 quote.   

There are so many more (although I must say I think Alex got some of the best lines in this ep) but if you watched these three clips in succession without ever having watched being human, I think you would seriously doubt that they were the same person.

Oh! thank you for bumping this topic up Pearl! I had missed fifi's previous post and yes I agree! thud

LOVE all those quotes from series 5 fifi and your analysis of them. Despite many re-watches I am still in that head vibrating like a gong stage, unable to be that coherent about it - but there were a few almost double take moments in this series where Hals' motives was more ambiguous...and some of the things he was saying were a bit of a head scratcher..like the being dry for over 60 years and the whole Lady Mary episode!

just me or was there overall less Hal comedy in this series? episode 1 probably had the most?
