- Barkeep: [after Zedd conjured up lots and lots of coins] Girls, take this gentleman upstairs and see that he has the best night of his life.
- Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: [had his mind set on the cute blonde] What about her?
- Barkeep: Well, that will be up to Salindra, and Salindra's very choosy. But if you ask her nicely, she might go upstairs with you.
- Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: [gathers courage] Salindra...
- Salindra: Hmm?
- Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: Will you come upstairs with me?
- Salindra: Sorry,
- [scoffs]
- Salindra: you remind me too much of my grandfather.
- Cara Mason: I thought the compass was supposed to point the way to the Stone of Tears, not the nearest tavern.
- Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: There's only one person powerful enough to spell a Wizard of the First Order, who knows exactly what fruit I won't be able to resist.
- Richard Cypher: Who? Zedd, who?
- Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: Shota.
- Cara Mason: [finds Zedd, who has spell-induced amnesia] Why is it that when I'm hunting down a man, I never have to look further than the first brothel past the gates?
- Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: Keep away from me!
- Cara Mason: Sorry, your little adventure is over. I'm taking you back to Richard and Kahlan.
- Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: I'm not going anywhere with you!
- Cara Mason: I think you'll reconsider.
- [draws her Agiel]
- Richard Cypher: Girls?
- Cara Mason: Hmm. Half a dozen of them, hanging all over him. And then he disappeared. I've been searching for him all night.
- Kahlan Amnell: Richard is the Seeker!
- Shota: Of course you would say that about the man you love. But I didn't come here expecting your help.
- [to Cara:]
- Shota: I came hoping for yours.
- Cara Mason: Why would I help you?
- Shota: Because you don't care who bears the name of Seeker. You only care about protecting Richard Rahl. But if he continues on this doomed quest, the Keeper will win and he will die along with everyone else in the world. Now, Zedd can't use his magic against you. If you subdue him, then I can force him to do what must be done.
- Cara Mason: Funny how people always curse the Mord-Sith.
- [cold smile]
- Cara Mason: Until they need one.
- Shota: Do you want Richard to live, or don't you?
- Cara Mason: You're right. Wizards can't use their magic against a Mord-Sith. And neither can witches.
- [draws Agiel, zaps Shota, brings her to her knees]
- Cara Mason: There's only one way to stop that from happening again. Undo the spell you put on Zedd!
- Darken Rahl: [in sulphurous pit] Salindra...! Salindra...!
- [she gasps]
- Darken Rahl: Don't be frightened. It's much too late for fear to do you any good.
- Salindra: [fearfully] What are you going to do to me?
- Darken Rahl: Well, that would be up to you. If you like, I could give you a second life.
- Salindra: At what price?
- Darken Rahl: Only a small one. Simply deliver the Wizard to the Underworld, along with the Sword of Truth and the compass.
- Salindra: What do you need them for?
- Darken Rahl: Haven't you heard? The Keeper is fighting a war to conquer the world of the living. And he needs your help. Can he count on you?
- Salindra: Isn't there some other price I could pay?
- Darken Rahl: [with disdain] Don't tell me you've fallen in love with him.
- Salindra: He's a nice fellow.
- [sniffs]
- Salindra: He's been kind to me.
- Darken Rahl: [booming voice] They're all nice fellows to you! As long as they have a little gold in their pocket! On the other hand, you're welcome to stay here with us in the Underworld. The Keeper maintains a very special chamber of torments for those who traffic in love.
- [she shudders]
- Darken Rahl: Ask yourself, "What is the life of one Wizard?" Come on, Salindra. You're a practical... girl.
- Salindra: I'm so frightened for you.
- Young Zeddicus Zul Zorander: About what?
- Salindra: Do you promise you won't do anything crazy and reckless?
- Young Zeddicus Zul Zorander: Salindra... tell me.
- Salindra: When I was in the Underworld...
- [shakes her head]
- Salindra: in that awful, terrible place, I heard Darken Rahl talking to the Keeper. They're happy that you've taken up the Seeker's quest. They think that... while you're chasing after the Stone of Tears, they will have time to destroy us all. But there's one thing that... they're terrified of.
- Young Zeddicus Zul Zorander: What?
- Salindra: They're terrified that you are going to be marching into the rift and battle the Keeper with the Sword of Truth.
- [shakes her head]
- Salindra: Oh, Zeddicus, I'm so afraid you will try something like that.
