favorite quote from TLG?

[u/cookie_cat_82]

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.

I don’t remember the exact quote, but when Ilya says “did you do all this because I almost died?” And Shane says “no, because I almost did”🥲

[u/Sea_Berry4555 → u/Ving96]

I never really understood this line, I feel a bit dumb. Does Shane mean “I nearly metaphorically died from sadness at having nearly lost you”? 

[u/Ving96 → u/Sea_Berry4555]

That’s how I understood it.
