The 10 Best Lines From Season 4 of ‘Succession,’ Ranked

It’s almost impossible to believe that, as of last night, Succession is officially over. What am I going to do with my Sunday nights (well, besides tarot)? Who’s going to make me feel better about my own family’s levels of dysfunction? Whose hair and outfits am I going to obsess over without Shiv Roy on my TV screen?

While I’m deep in the grieving process—and expect to be for some time—I also want to give a shout-out to Succession’s writers, who reminded us each week that there’s no ceiling (or maybe floor) for how filthy you can be on HBO. Without further ado, here’s a roundup of the very best lines from this final season, ranked:

10. “You might want to put down that fish taco. You’re getting your melancholy everywhere”

Why didn’t we get more Gerri-and-Greg scenes?

9. “Hey Buddha, nice Tom Fords”

You know a Roman zinger had to make it onto this list, and this one was him at the top of his game.

8. “I would like to sing one fucking song at karaoke, because I’ve seen it in the movies, and nobody ever wants to go”

Connor, I’ll do karaoke with you!

7. “I’m the eldest boy!”

Connor would like a word, but Jeremy Strong’s delivery of this line is perfection.

6. “We’ll get a funeral off the rack. We can do Reagan’s, with tweaks”

The rich really are different from you and I, especially when it comes to burying their patriarch.

5. “Your earlobes are thick and chewy, like barnacle meat”

I’ll say this for Shiv and Tom: They were never boring.

4. “We’re calling Kerry a taxi to the subway so she can go home to her little apartment”

Never underestimate Marcia.

3. “He couldn’t fit a whole woman in his head”

It’s so rare that Shiv says anything of note, let alone something hauntingly real (sorry, Shivheads), but this description of Logan in her eulogy was perfect.

2. “Because she’s brought a ludicrously capacious bag. What’s even in there, huh? Flat shoes for the subway? Her lunch pail?”

Tom 4 lyfe.

1. “I love you, but you are not serious people”

Hey, at least Logan finally said “I love you” to his kids? Even if it was sandwiched in the middle of a devastating read that I’ll remember for the rest of my life?
