Season 5 Quotes

05x08 - Uncle Simon Season 5 / Episode 8: - Uncle Simon

Narrator: [Closing Narration] Dramatis personae: a metal man, who will go by the name of Simon, whose life as well as his body has been stamped out for him; and the woman who tends to him, the lady Barbara, who's discovered belatedly that all bad things don't come to an end, and that once a bed is made, it quite necessary that you sleep in it.

05x34 - Come Wander with Me Season 5 / Episode 34: - Come Wander with Me

Mary Rachel: You can't ever see me again. I'm bespoke.
Floyd Burney: Bespoke? What is that supposed to mean, bespoke? You're bespoke, I'm Floyd Burney. So what?
