Tom Neville gets all the best lines


"If you don't work with me, I'll take it all back. And you can go back to being the general of my nuts".

"So I'm just supposed to spread my legs now and show you everything?"

"This poker face is my normal face"

Probably misquotes due to my poor memory.

Brilliantly delivered by Giancarlo Esposito, a fine actor and a great player of villains. He was an entirely different villain in Breaking Bad, more of a personification of the banality of evil. In Revolution, he's too subtle to be a scenery chewer but he really makes a meal of his role. Interestingly, in both series, he's equally good at playing a gentle and naive person, en route to becoming hardened by attacks on his family.

Please give me some more Tom Neville lines.

The best actor should get the best lines. He delivers more with a withering glance than anyone else in this show ever did with the lines the hacks wrote for them.

In the end, he was about the only reason I stuck through Season 2.

He had some show-stopping ones. I liked the one about Charlie's "Candy ass". More his deliver though.

General of my nuts was one of my favorite lines of the the series!
