Sons of Anarchy Quotes

Jax: Is something wrong?
Tara: With Abel leaving, I realized it's not just you. You have a son. We need to think about what we're doing.
Jax: You really want to talk about this, huh? Cause the one upside of Wendy, she was usually too wasted for relationship chats.
Tara: Well, I'm painfully sober.

TV Show: Sons of Anarchy
Wendy: [to Tara] She'll never let you be with him. Gemma hates you. She'll do whatever she can to keep you guys apart. You may as well quit while you're still ahead…or alive, for that matter.

TV Show: Sons of Anarchy
Clay: What you did to Opie and his family proves one thing; you're desperate, cause you got nothing on us. It kills you, doesn't it? To see me and my guys living good lives. Families, friends, nice homes. You hate the fact that we get the same rights and freedoms as you do.
Stahl: Gee, you make me so proud to be an American.
Clay: You're a fascist pig, and what Otto did to you is just the tip of the iceberg.

TV Show: Sons of Anarchy
Clay: I know you're hurting. You think you're trying to help, but...
Piney: Don't you tell me what I'm thinking! You know, if this happened to your family, there'd be six charters halfway to Oakland.
Clay: This did happen to my family.
Piney: No it didn't! The Niners came gunning for my son. They killed my daughter-in-law. You got that, huh? You got that kind of hole in your family?

TV Show: Sons of Anarchy
Tara: Nothing is okay. Like, the last few weeks, I tried to follow your lead. You know, find some kind of compartment to put all this stuff in. But I just can't. I don't sleep. I'm more scared now than I ever was. I'm scared of getting caught. I'm scared of not getting caught. We got away with murder. What does that make me?
Jax: A survivor.
Tara: I think you're a good man with a big heart. I believe you try to do as much good as you can, but you live a life I don't think I'll ever really understand.

TV Show: Sons of Anarchy
Jax: Don't you get tired of it? Running
Tara: I'm not running. I'm just being realistic, Jax.
Jax: Call it whatever you want. Your life is a series of hit-and-runs. The minute someone makes you feel uncomfortable, tests your loyalty, little Tara packs her bags and hits the road. Well, I guess you got what you wanted from me, right? Used me to do your dirty work.
Tara: That's not fair.
Jax: Not fair? You wanna know how many women I've slept with over the last 10 years?
Tara: Don't do this…
Jax: Hundreds! Maybe more, I don't know. I barely see their faces. I married Wendy because I was lonely. Because I got tired of the endless disconnect. It was just a sad time-out. Because when I'm inside someone, there's only one face I see. When you came home, it was like some kind of sign to me. Like my past coming around to give me another shot to do this different; better. And now that chance is running back to Chicago.

TV Show: Sons of Anarchy
Hale: This relationship you have with Clay…I don't like it…but I get it. You make a deal with the devil to keep the peace. But look at this. Look at what we let happen. An innocent woman was killed.
Unser: I didn't let that happen.
Hale: Yeah, you're right. It's on me. What was I supposed to do? Roll over and feed SAMCRO classified information?
Unser: I get the rock and hard place this all took you to. Sorry this guilt comes down on you.
Hale: Well, then, help me. For once, please. Just help me serve justice to these guys.
Unser: I should be fishing somewhere, or reading a book half buzzed on vodka and lemonade. And I'm still here in this suit of mine because I've got my own rock and hard place I'm living between. I ain't got much more of a run in me. A few years, maybe, but I need something to leave Della and my half-smart kids. I'm sorry, son.

TV Show: Sons of Anarchy
Gemma: Motherless children. They make people do drastic things. This is bad.
Clay: You think I don't know that. You think I wanted this?
Gemma: You feel all that, baby. You feel it here. You walk out that door...you be the man they all need you to be.

TV Show: Sons of Anarchy
Jax: Looks like Trammel earned his pay.
Clay: You got something you need to say?
Jax: We both know this is bullshit. The only reason I don't set fire to it is because I love Opie and the truth would kill him.
Clay: We all love Opie. He needs this and we're going to give it to him.
Jax: Whoever you put this murder on just make sure they deserve to die because the guy that killed Donna is out there sharing a beer with her husband.
Clay: You better be real careful how you navigate around this one.
Jax: Or what? You gonna put a bullet in the back of my head too?

TV Show: Sons of Anarchy
Clay: [to Ethan Zobelle] Look, I don't know what Darby told you, and I don't know what your angle is. But let me be real clear. Nobody threatens SAMCRO and nobody tells us what we can and can't do; black, brown, or white. So why don't you just climb back into your little German clown car and drive back to Nazi town because the next time you piss all over my shoes it will kill you. And I don't give a shit how many witnesses there are.

TV Show: Sons of Anarchy
Tara: You know why I run away from shit all the time? Cause I don't trust anyone. If I'm gonna stay, I need to know the truth.
Jax: I tell you the truth.
Tara: Not just what you think I can handle. I need all of it. It's the only way I'll know if I can do this.

TV Show: Sons of Anarchy
Weston: You got kids, Darby?
Darby: No.
Weston: I just pulled my six-year-old out of T-ball cause I found out they're giving trophies to every boy on every team for simply playing the game. Trophies should be earned. Teaching children that everyone's equal is a dangerous philosophy.

TV Show: Sons of Anarchy
Hale: League of American Nationalists.
Zobelle: The League represents an influential group of businessmen who are tired of criminals undermining local enterprise.
Hale: Right. And how many black and Latino businessmen are in your influential group?
Zobelle: [pause] None.
Hale: I know what you are. White hate.
Zobelle: Quite the opposite, Deputy Chief. We are separatists, not supremacists. We are God-fearing patriots and in a time when black radicals are in power in this country we are desperately trying to remind our citizens of their founding beliefs.
Hale: That all white men are created equal. What the hell do you want from me?
Weston: Call us what you want. We have the same goal; stop scumbags from arming scumbags.
Zobelle: We just want you to know we are at your disposal if you need us.

TV Show: Sons of Anarchy
Jax: Something wrong?
Clay: They found that Mayan we visited. He was throwing up nine fingers. Mayans are a little ticked at the Niners.
Jax: I made a decision for the good of the club.
Clay: You settle that shit on your own?
Jax: Yeah. Spur-of-the-moment seemed like the right thing. I'm sure you can understand.

TV Show: Sons of Anarchy
Clay: That little judgment call you made for the good of the club? It came back to bite us in the ass and almost killed Bobby.
Jax: I see that.
Clay: Whatever you may think, the truth is everything I do is to protect what we got. It's never arbitrary. And it's never reactive. Been doing this for 30 years, I know a few things.
Jax: Taking that tag off the Mayan was the right decision. You know that.
Clay: You wanna challenge me? Fine, I don't give a shit. But the minute it stops becoming about this club and it starts becoming personal they'll know that. They'll lose respect for you and they won't trust you anymore. And then you'll be handling everything on your own. Think about that…son.

TV Show: Sons of Anarchy
Gemma: This wasn't about me.
Unser: Well, what do you mean?
Gemma: What those animals did. It was to hurt Clay and Jax. Anyone finds out, they win. I can't let that happen

TV Show: Sons of Anarchy
Opie: I keep dreaming I'm back in Chino. Really violent shit happening. And then I wake up relieved that I'm home. It takes me a minute to realize that I'm alone in bed.

TV Show: Sons of Anarchy
Hale: Are you talking about deliberately bringing drugs into my town?
Zobelle: I'm talking about creating a temporary problem that allows you to flush out the permanent one.

TV Show: Sons of Anarchy
Hale: You already had Darby cooking meth.
Zobelle: I'm not responsible for Mr. Darby.
Hale: That your temporary problem? Flooding the mill with crank?
Zobelle: Did you arrest him?
Hale: I didn't have a warrant.
Zobelle: So get one.
Hale: Maybe I'll pick up one for you too.
Zobelle: I understand your anger and I know you think I'm some kind of devil. For years, I say back and watched everything I love about this country slowly unravel: faith, values, morals, decency. It culminated two years ago when my wife was killed in a drive-by. Her blood got me off the sidelines and into the game. Now, if that makes me a vigilante, a Machiavellian fool, so be it.

TV Show: Sons of Anarchy
Clay: Ah, sad Elvis.
Bobby: These bar mitzvahs are killing me.
Clay: Why you doing it them? Tahoe gigs will come back around.
Bobby: I'm buried. Inside for two months, child support, alimony, and my oldest needs oral surgery. They gotta cut his frenum. What the hell is a frenum?

TV Show: Sons of Anarchy
Bobby: You and Clay, the guys are worried.
Jax: Ah, nothing to worry about.
Bobby: Convince me.

TV Show: Sons of Anarchy
Gemma: You think... you think God forgives you for doing bad things? I-- I mean like really... bad shit.
Father Francis: God forgives absolutely. We're the ones who usually can't.

TV Show: Sons of Anarchy
Clay: Where does this go, tomorrow? Next week?
Jax: Where's what go?
Clay: Your need to undermine my every play.
Jax: I got no need to undermine you. Things I call out are about the club.
Clay: Nah, about you and me.
Jax: Yeah. Maybe they are. Guess I gotta get right with you-what you did.
Clay: Yeah. You do.
Jax: Well, you got decades of experience. Why don't you tell me how I do that? How I get right with you tryin' to kill a brother behind the clubs back and your little trigger boy blowin' an innocent woman's head off?
Clay: Well, you're gonna have to figure that out for yourself son. But I'd do it soon. Cause if you mention Donna or the incident again, I'll kill ya.

TV Show: Sons of Anarchy
Unser: [to Zobelle] Charming is a special town. Not many folks take to it. I like to think the town chooses its occupants. The right ones stay…wrong ones disappear.

TV Show: Sons of Anarchy
Piney: You know, this isn't on Jax, it was my idea. Just have to blame it on the dementia.

TV Show: Sons of Anarchy
Bobby: Tig's got a gash the size of your attitude on his leg. Got enough Advil for that?

TV Show: Sons of Anarchy
Bobby: [to Clay] When you want blind action, you go to Tig. When you want the truth, you come to me.

TV Show: Sons of Anarchy
John Teller: [voiceover] I realized that in my downward spiral of hopelessness I was actually falling into a huge hole created by my absence of basic human graces. The most obvious was forgiveness. If I was wronged by anyone, in or out of the club, I had to be compensated by money or blood. There was no turning the other cheek. When relationships become a ledger of profit and loss, you have no friends, no loved ones, just pluses and minuses. You are absolutely alone.

TV Show: Sons of Anarchy
Hale: You're accusing me of being in someone's pocket, you hypocrite son of a bitch? You've been with Clay since you were in uniform. He barks and you jump. Whole town knows it. Chief of police, what a joke!
Unser: Why do you think I chose you for my second? Huh? A single-minded self-righteous pain in the ass? You're the good guy. Okay? The clean one. I need you to stay that way otherwise the whole department's a joke.

TV Show: Sons of Anarchy
Jax: Look, man. I think it's all good you getting deeper into the club. But you're obviously still dealing with some stuff. Donna's death got to be a nightmare.
Opie: How do you know what I'm dealing with? You got to figure out your own stuff, brother.
Jax: I know what I'm doing.
Opie: Oh, yeah. You got things you want to change. I get it. This beef with Clay it's not about what's best for SAMCRO. It's about you pushing to be king. It's not your time yet, man. This is Clay's club. You got to back down, get in line before somebody gets hurt.
