Quotes
-
William 'Penny' Adiyodi : Hey, have you been paying attention to Quentin's stupid key thing?
Hyman Cooper : Have I.
William 'Penny' Adiyodi : Yeah, great, shut up. The ghost said it has the power to reveal things that are hidden. *I'm* a hidden thing.
Hyman Cooper : [Gasps] Twist.
-
Hyman Cooper : I'm Hyman Cooper
William 'Penny' Adiyodi : *Hyman*?
Hyman Cooper : Mm-hm.
William 'Penny' Adiyodi : Did that mean something different when you were born?
-
Hyman Cooper : [Watching Quentin and Julia] They're my favorite pairing. The tension between them. Friends for years, but he's always loved her.
William 'Penny' Adiyodi : ...Seriously? These two?
Hyman Cooper : You and Kady are great. I totally ship that. Alice is okay. She's a bit of a Mrs. Grundy, you know?
William 'Penny' Adiyodi : I don't get that reference.
Hyman Cooper : Oh, Josh is my idol. That man is a Vagician.
[Penny gives him a confused look]
Hyman Cooper : But Quentin, I mean, the outsider let into the inner sanctum of secret knowledge. As someone born in 1902, I find a heterosexual white male hero very relatable.
-
Hyman Cooper : Quentin is the duck's nuts.
William 'Penny' Adiyodi : No, that cannot be a real thing people said.
-
William 'Penny' Adiyodi : Hyman, where have you been?
Hyman Cooper : [Points to Quentin and Julia] I went with them to solve the mystery of Rupert's golden key.
William 'Penny' Adiyodi : Who cares?
Hyman Cooper : If they find all seven keys, Penny, then... something good happens? I missed a bit.
-
Hyman Cooper : My God! I was only trying to follow the story.
William 'Penny' Adiyodi : No, what Julia does in the bath is not story!
Hyman Cooper : It is revealing... of character.
-
Hyman Cooper : You haven't heard of me? The Pervert Ghost of Brakebills?
[Penny stares blankly]
Hyman Cooper : I was a student here in the 1920s. A Traveler, like you. I would practice Astral Projection around the campus. You know, pop into lectures, the dormitories, uh, showers, you know how it is.
William 'Penny' Adiyodi : Uh, no.
Hyman Cooper : And as a prank, someone moved my body while I was-...
William 'Penny' Adiyodi : Being a pervert.
-
William 'Penny' Adiyodi : You know you're not a ghost, right?
Hyman Cooper : Wha - I'm not?
William 'Penny' Adiyodi : You were on the Astral Plane when you died. So was I. Our minds were traveling. Now they have no place to go back to. Look, ghosts have some unresolved shit in this world, so they relive their death over and over. Are you doing that?
[Hyman shakes his head]
William 'Penny' Adiyodi : People can see ghosts. Ghosts can touch things. I know, 'cause I've been touched by a ghost, Hyman, and it wasn't great. We can't do that.
Hyman Cooper : Okay, Professor, then how come I can sit in a chair? Why why am I not just falling forever?
William 'Penny' Adiyodi : I don't know. I don't make the rules. Your ass just knows.
-
Hyman Cooper : I told you it wouldn't end well.
William 'Penny' Adiyodi : You know, I wish you weren't dead so I could kill you.

Dean Fogg : In the late 1940s, there was a haunting in the West Dorm. At the time, it was considered bad form to have a ghost on campus. Unlike today, where we put it in the goddamn brochure.
Hyman Cooper : No, no no! "That ghost" is gonna kill them. To death, Penny!
