- Quentin Coldwater: Standing in Fillory was the greatest moment of my life, and not just because, as I later found out, the air is .02% opium, which is a pretty unfair trick to get you to love a place.
- Quentin Coldwater: [Narrating] "Fillory and Further: Book Seven". I will think of a great title later.
- [Script reads "Fillory and Further: Book Seven. Title TBA]
- Quentin Coldwater: By Quentin Coldwater. Prologue: Holt shit you guys, Fillory.
- Quentin Coldwater: [Narrating] So if you're a real fan, you totally recognize this from the books - this iconic scene, right? Jane falls into a trap and is saved by passing Magicians, but you didn't know is I am *in* that scene, bitches.
- Julia Wicker: [Watching Jane] Struggle, struggle. Tighter, tighter. Okay, do you see them yet?
- Quentin Coldwater: Nope, but they can't be too hard to miss. The Witch and The Fool. Iconic.
- Julia Wicker: How are The Witch and The Fool supposed to see her-
- [Realize it's them]
- Quentin Coldwater, Julia Wicker: Oooh!
- Quentin Coldwater: Ooh, which one do you think I am?
- [Julia gives him a 'really' look]
- Quentin Coldwater: We know about time loops that you keep making.
- Eliza: Well, as you should by now.
- Quentin Coldwater: Right. So there have been 39 others-...
- Eliza: And you're the volunteer tomato.
- Quentin Coldwater: I'm sorry, what?
- Eliza: In a garden, you pull everything up. Sometimes a stray vine just keeps coming back. It volunteers. That's really why you, Quentin, you just keep coming.
- Quentin Coldwater: Right. Okay. So, okay I'm the
- [Mimics Eliza's accent]
- Quentin Coldwater: tomato.
- Eliza: Do I die doing something brave?
- Quentin Coldwater: Very.
- Eliza: Right, then. If you survive, see to it that I get a proper temple in my honor. Granite statue, good likeness, mind the chin.
- Julia Wicker: [about Ember] How did Martin summon him?
- Quentin Coldwater: I don't know. The books are all poetry. It's like, "Martin's blood sang to the gods".
- Julia Wicker: [Sees a bloody palm imprint in stone] Q. What if it was literal?
- Quentin Coldwater: That's worth a shot.
- [Cuts himself]
- Quentin Coldwater: Damn it!
- Julia Wicker: You okay?
- Quentin Coldwater: No, I just stabbed my own hand!
- Eliot Waugh: [after finding out he's the rightful ruler of Fillory] Well, *High* King. Makes certain instinctual sense, I guess.
- Knifemaker's Son: [Bows] Your Majesty.
- William 'Penny' Adiyodi: Oh, this'll make him easier to live with.
- Quentin Coldwater: You know, my entire life, ever since the first time I read "Fillory and Further", I've been waiting for some powerful being to come down and say, "Quentin Coldwater, you are The One".
- [Alice gives him a look]
- Quentin Coldwater: Every book, every movie, it's about one special guy. He's chosen. In real life, for every one guy, there are a billion people who aren't.
- [laughs]
- Quentin Coldwater: Almost none of us are the one.
- Alice Quinn: Ember said-...
- Quentin Coldwater: Ember is a little out of touch, I think.
- [Looks at her]
- Quentin Coldwater: You're a better Magician. And you're a better person. And I think that if he'd met you, he wouldn't be so sure that it's me.
- Alice Quinn: But you're the one that they say shows up every single time, it's you.
- Quentin Coldwater: I want to be the one. I do. It's just it's the adult part of me, the part of me that understands how magic works, it just - it just keeps screaming that it's you. Every time that Jane reset the loop, she changed something. So what if I change something? What if I give the blade to you?
- Alice Quinn: [Smiles slightly] You're not as good as I hoped, Quentin Coldwater. But you're better than you know.
- William 'Penny' Adiyodi: So do you know where The Beast is holding Victoria or not?
- Quentin Coldwater: I think the dungeon is in The Castle That Isn't There.
- William 'Penny' Adiyodi: That's the stupidest name I've ever heard.
- Eliot Waugh: You didn't just do shots with a bulldog named Bristlycoat.
- Quentin Coldwater: You may be wondering why they set it up that aliens must rule Fillory and I'm sure there is a great reason and nobody has any clue what that is. Ember and Umber set it up and they're not that into explaining their big ideas and, you know, you'd think it would be centaurs or something, right? I would do centaurs, but nope.
- Ember: Have you brought me little cakes?
- Julia Wicker: No
- Quentin Coldwater: Uh... We didn't really know that we were supposed to.
- Ember: [Downcast] Oh. And I am so tired of eating mice.
- Margo Hanson: Eliot?
- Eliot Waugh: Yeah, according to the fine print not actually written down, I have a virgin farm girl to impregnate.
- Margo Hanson: Right this second?
- Eliot Waugh: This very one. Best of luck, all. You're welcome.
- [Holds hand out to Fen]
- Eliot Waugh: Mrs. Me?
- [They leave]
- William 'Penny' Adiyodi: If I die while he's balling himself limp, I will haunt the shit out of his ass.
- Eliot Waugh: Really good to see you again, Q, but, um, why am I looking at the Hedgebitch who tried to kill you?
- Quentin Coldwater: We worked it out. I wouldn't be here without her, so...
- Julia Wicker: I'm here. You don't have to like me.
- Margo Hanson: Oh, don't you worry. We don't.
- Julia Wicker: Here's the thing: all the Chatwins are dead, Fillory has no rulers, and the only people from Earth left here now not locked in a dungeon-...
- Josh Hoberman: Oh, my God. I'm going to be royalty.
- Julia Wicker: I don't mean to disrespect, but how could a Magician put the drop on you?
- Ember: Fillory's magic belongs to no one, not even a god. A Magician with enough determination can harness its forces and make haggis of any one of us.
- Chistopher Plover: When he was still a child, Fillory stopped taking him. Once he found his way back, he made it his mission to stay. He'd heard about The Wellspring, the most ancient location in Fillory.
- Margo Hanson: Which is what?
- Chistopher Plover: The source of all magic. It's not only stronger than Ember and Umber, it created them. Fillory runs on it. Martin goes every night to drink from it, draining it a little more each time. The Wellspring's magic is so strong it killed every human thing in him. There's only The Beast now.
- The Beast: What do you want?
- Julia Wicker: You killed Umber. And you trapped Ember. You know how to deal with gods. You know how to fuck up their shit... I want to make a deal.
- Reynard the Fox: My thanks for opening the door. You may address me as Reynard the Fox, Trickster of the faithful, the pure of heart, the very stupid.
- Quentin Coldwater: [Narrating] I was writing this down because I didn't know much, but I knew that I was the hero of this story. It all just felt like the exact moment that my entire life had been building up to, all of the reading, and dreaming, and loneliness, and magic. All of it. And then well, and then this story actually happened. And I started to realize the truth.
