These quotes from Netflix's Beef that had the audience #shookt:
That’s what’s wrong with the world today, man. They want you to feel like you have no control.
Remember this line when: The world seems to be turning against you. After all, no one deserves an unfair treatment, and you sure as heck won’t tolerate that no matter what. Danny Cho (Steven Yeun) said these lines to Paul (Young Mazino), his younger brother.
Sometimes, rock bottom is your trampoline.
Remember this line when: You’re feeling down and don't know what to do about it. Rest assured it’s not going to be that way forever, at least that’s how Danny delivered the message in the series while he’s talking to his brother.
When you’re at your lowest, there’s no other way to go but up, as Danny points out. Once you’re done introspecting and planning out your next moves, go out and show the world what you’re made of.
You ever notice how people who have money think that money isn’t important?
Remember this line when: You’re broke and just want to make sense of where all your money went. Hopefully, not another night of drinking away your feelings and saying “mahal ko pa rin siya” (not an attack). Perhaps Amy Lau (Ali Wong) wanted to go for financial and physical freedom when she blurted this out as a response to George Nakai’s (Joseph Lee) comment about her being obsessed with money.
Or maybe you’re an introvert who just wants to have that deep conversation with your closest friends and not talk about the weather for the nth time. After all, it’s a valid point to consider. But is it the truth? Raise the question and discuss over ice cold beer.
Life is precious. You can’t waste it. You gotta take action.
Remember this line when: You want to just run away and get rid of all the nasty things that life wants to throw at you. As Danny is having a hard time dealing with Amy at the time, this is one of Paul’s quick tips for his older brother.
Old people are stupid like that, taking it out on us because they regret their life decisions.
Remember this line when: You feel sandwiched, as in sandwich generation. Paul may have similar sentiments when this line was brought up in the series while trying to console Amy during their phone call. Ponder on this line NOT because old people may seem stupid, but because it can be hard to understand why people do what they do. Knowing their side of the story can help you keep your cool.

I hate pretending that I don’t hate things.
Remember this line when: You're forgetting your feelings are valid. While there are times you need to keep certain emotions in check, it doesn’t mean that they’re not real. After all, you’re a human capable of a wide array of feelings. Amy seems to have a lot of experience and insight when she delivers this line, perhaps because of all the pressure and stress she needs to keep up with throughout the show. Thanks to Paul who asked her what she hates, we get to have this line.
It is selfish for broken people to spread their brokenness.
Remember this line when: That friend is starting to vent out. Again. For the nth time. It’s perfectly understandable for us to share our feelings with other people, especially if we had one of those days we just want to have someone who will listen to our nonsense. But if venting out becomes too often and out of hand, it may be time to draw the line somewhere. Like your friend, you also have battles to fight. Amy is at it again, delivering another quote that can be seen as her venting out all her frustrations in life again.
The moment you begin to worry, the moment you acknowledge the worry, you solidify it into existence, which is why we chose to ignore, and ignore we did.
Remember this line when: You feel another bout of worry coming on. While it’s true you have to deal with the root of the problem, you are also entitled to have a moment of rest if things get too overwhelming for you at the time. So for now, ignore it for a bit but don’t forget to get back to it when you’re feeling better to face it. Amy was discussing this line with Fumi (Patti Yasutake), her mother-in-law and paints the latter a picture of how she’s coping with all the challenges life throws at her.
I’m a bad person. I tried to hide that from you because you’re not. You’re as good as it gets. That’s why I fell in love with you.
Remember this line when: You feel cheesy and just want to express your love to your SO as much as you can. This is also a reminder that your SO has the right to know all your sides, no matter how bad you think they are. And if they really do love you, they’ll help you get past those limitations so you can be a better version of yourself. Cue the “awwws.”
Can’t have form without space. Can’t experience light without dark.
Remember this line when: You feel you have nowhere else to go and you need a bit of encouragement. Keep in mind that this, too, shall pass. No matter how bad your day went, you’ll eventually see the light at the end of the tunnel.
