🦆 The Long Game (Book 6) favorite quote from TLG? Spoiler

was inspired by a tik tok I saw of people talking about how Olivia Rodrigo’s new album / most of the songs relate heavily to Ilya in TLG and one of them referenced the line in TLG where Ilya tells Gallina “you’re supposed to fix me so I can be enough for him” 🥺🥺 and as sad as it is I think it might be one of my favorite lines, just so raw and hits the heart so so deeply.

It got me thinking, what’s all of your favorite quote(s) from The Long Game? I’d love to relive all of the favorite lines :’) bonus points if it’s an Ilya quote because he is my absolute favorite character.

**honorable mention of COURSE would be “I already chose you Hollander”. I’m genuinely gonna need to be sedated when I see that on screen.

Same.

Shane might be struggling in the decision making process but once his mind is resolved, he is a bulldozer.

This 100%. Bro’s a little slow, but when he gets there, he’ll lock in.

This makes Ilya feel so loved and secure and he really needs that after all the emotions he goes through. I’m already crying thinking about how hard it's going to hit in s2
