We get it, Succession season three may be the most hilariously savage one yet.

Thus, we're sad to see the HBO hit conclude its third season tonight, Dec. 12. So, as we head into the finale, let's look back at the best insults and jabs the Roys have thrown at one another this season. For those who need a refresher, this chapter of Succession kicked off with son Kendall (Jeremy Strong) and father Logan (Brian Cox) once again at each other's throats.

This civil war came about thanks to Kendall's double-crossing decision at the end of season two, where he exposed his father for knowing about misconduct and other wrongdoings in the company. And while Logan wanted Kendall to "f--k off" this season, the former heir apparent has mostly refused to back down, providing plenty of opportunities for family fights. (Though one recent face-off has left us worried about Kendall, but we digress.)

One of our personal favorite burns occurred back in episode four, "Lion in the Meadow," in which Kendall and Logan were forced to reunite to appease a panicked shareholder, played by the brilliant Adrien Brody. During a hike with the warmly-dressed shareholder, Logan had a health crisis, but Kendall only seemed to focus on business.

When Roman (Kieran Culkin) heard about the incident, he called his brother and ripped him a new one: "You tried to assassinate our dad with the sun. Do you have a fetish for nearly killing dad? Like just the tip, but for, like, killing dad?"

Vicious, right? Well, that's just a taste of this season's iconic writing, as the rest of the cast—including Sarah Snook, Alan Ruck, Nicholas Braun, Matthew Macfadyen and J. Smith-Cameron—have also dished out some epic lines.
