Season One
Episode 1.01: AKA Ladies Night
- "The big part of the job is looking for the worst in people. Turns out I excel at that. Clients hire me to find dirt. And I find it, which shouldn't surprise them, but it does."
- ―Jessica Jones
- "God damn it, Malcolm. You scared the shit out of me."
"What are you doing in my apartment?"
"This is my apartment." - ―Jessica Jones and Malcolm Ducasse

Episode 1.05: AKA The Sandwich Saved Me
- "This job was sucking my brains out through the air vent."
"You're bored because you're overqualified for all these crappy jobs."
"Yet I'm uniquely unqualified for anything else." - ―Jessica Jones and Trish Walker
- "Here I am, just debating where to eat, and then, bam, there you are! Performing feats of heroism. Come here, let me look at you. Come on. Jesus you're a vision. Hair and the skin. Appalling sense of fashion, but that can be remedied. And underneath it all, the power. Just like me. Though not quite as good, of course. Tell me, did you enjoy beating those thugs?"
"Yes."
"Yeah? Why?"
"Because I helped someone. I made a difference."
"Well, how noble. What's your name?"
"Jones. Jessica Jones."
"No, no, no, your superhero name. You must have one."
"Just Jessica Jones."
"Really? Hmm. Rather prosaic, but it's fine. Fine, Jessica Jones, fine. There's a fantastic Szechuan place around the corner. You like Chinese. Come on. Come on. I have to know everything about you." - ―Kilgrave and Jessica Jones
- "Well, I don't know about you, but I'm exhausted. So rare... for me to feel powerless. Well, I would have felt it, had I been conscious. But in retrospect, it's exhilarating. My life was literally in your hands. And I have the bruise to prove it. Which means you want me alive. Tell me why. I could just turn up on your doorstep and make you tell me. Oh, you're mad about the junkie, aren't you? That is completely unfair. I didn't make him do anything he didn't want to do. He was... he was an addict waiting to happen. Come on, Jessica. Come on. Don't play the hero with me."
- ―Kilgrave to Jessica Jones
Episode 1.06: AKA You're a Winner!
- "You are a hard-drinking, short-fused, mess of a woman, but you are not a piece of shit."
- ―Luke Cage to Jessica Jones
- "May I help you?"
"I like your home. Nicest on the block."
"Thanks."
"And the neighborhood, the big trees, grass, birds. Wish I'd grown up somewhere excessively normal like this."
"I'm sorry, what is it you want?"
"Yes, I've always been bad at small talk. I'm used to just saying things and they happen. It spoils you."
"Well, what a burden."
"You have no idea."
"Well, I need to go."
"I'd like to buy your house."
"It's not for sale."
"I've done some research. I believe it's worth just over $600,000."
"Like I said, it's not for sale. Now, move your foot."
"You are going to-- I want to show you something. This is $1.26 million. I'd like to give this to you in exchange for your beautiful home."
"You can't be serious."
"I am."
"But you could buy two houses with this much money."
"I know. Exciting, isn't it?"
"I mean, is this even legal?"
"Completely. I've had a real estate agreement drawn up."
"I'd have to show this to a lawyer."
"Mmm, feel free, I want everything above-board and binding. Avoid seller's remorse. There is one condition. You have to have moved out of here by the end of day tomorrow... if you chose to sign." - ―Lin and Kilgrave

"Because someone is here. But not Jessica?"
"Tell me, who are you?"
"My name is Ruben. I'm her neighbor. I made her banana bread."
"Why?"
"Because I love her." - ―Ruben and Kilgrave
- "Oh, everyone, calm down, you're killing the mood. Jessica. You're not surprised to see me. You had to know I'd come for you. Not this fast? I...I will admit to keeping eyes on you. Spies are easy to come by... for me."
"Do whatever you're going to do to me, but let them go."
"Well, I have to protect myself, so..."
"Then control me, not them."
"I have absolutely no intention of controlling you. I want you to act on your own accord."
"Act how? Suicide?" Is that why you've been torturing me?"

"That is not for you to decide."
"He will go to prison and feed of the tit of the taxpayers--"
"You've never paid a goddamn tax in your life."
"Fair enough. All right. What would Jessica do?"
