One of things that helped season one of The Bear into becoming one of the most acclaimed series of last year was its quotes. The series starring Jeremy Allen White, follows story of Carmy, an extraordinaire master chef, who is battling the hostile environment in the kitchens of The Beef, left behind by his financially irresponsible brother.

Below we have gathered some of the best quotes from the series.

10) “Maybe They Don’t Want To Change Too Much. Maybe They Get Scared.”
Ebra, Episode 8, “Bolognese”

In Season 2, when Ebra comes back and talks about his concerns regarding opening up The Bear with Tina, Tina made him realize that she’ll be there for him. This is a major moment showcasing the friendship between them.

9) “As Adults We Never Try New Things.”
Natalie, Episode 2, “Pasta”

Necessity for growth and stepping out of comfort zone is expressed in the series through vast character arcs. Natalie, who didn’t want the responsibility of organizing The Bear for opening night, by finale proved to be the best choice.

8) “Learn How To Listen. You’re Not Gonna Learn With You Just Talking.”
Coach K, Episode 7, “Forks”

The change in communication among the restaurant staff from yelling to understanding was a major moment of the season. Coach K’s book thoroughly helped Sydney with her new leadership responsibilities for her character development.

7) “Make Sure You Have A Great Partner, Someone You Can Trust.”
Donnie, Episode 3, “Sundae”

This advise given by Donnie was right on point for Sydney cause of Carmy’s neglection towards her and absence during the entire season on multiple occasions.

6) “You Ever Think About Purpose?”
Richie, Episode 1, “Beef”

The way Richie went from questioning his work in season 1 to being a hardworking and serious employee in season 2 shows how he overcame his insecurities and worked on himself.

5) “You Can Spend All The Time In The World In Here, But If You Don’t Spend Enough Time Out There…”
Luca, Episode 4, “Honeydew”

Luca’s this lesson for Marcus reflects on how Marcus understood that experiences outside the kitchen were also vital to hone his skills.

4) “If I Could Provide More Amusement Or Enjoyment For Myself, It Would Be Easier To Provide For Others.”
Carmy, Episode 3, “Sundae”

Carmy being stuck in a cycle with only hardwork and proving himself led him to believe that he didn’t deserve the good in life. This made him hesitant to even try for it which can be seen when Claire was introduced in season 2.

3) “And Please Give Michael The Strength Not To Throw That Fork. Amen.”
Steven, Episode 6, “Fishes”

When Michael and Lee had a quarrel during Christmas dinner which led to Michael throwing forks at Lee, this phrase said by Steven during the grace gave the humorous touch to the show that makes everyone light-hearted.

2) “They Won’t’ F**king Miss Me.”
Donna, Episode 6, “Fishes”

Donna’s this comment to herself during the Christmas dinner where she had several break downs showed us the ups and downs she has had but still tried her best for her family. Despite Carmy and his sibling’s efforts she didn’t feel appreciated which was a heartbreaking moment.

1) “No Amount Of Good Is Worth How Terrible This Feels.”
Carmy, Episode 10, “The Bear”

Carmy’s insecurities and vulnerability is shown when he rants to himself as he gets locked in the fridge on the opening night of the restaurant. Even after being ready to start a relationship with Claire, his conversation with himself which is overheard by Claire puts that on risk too by raising a lot of questions to be answered in the next season.
