Quotes 

• Tawaret : I actually... I have... Hold on a sec. It's been a minute since we've had a soul pass through here.

  [retrieves and unfurls a scroll] 

  Tawaret : Bit distracted... Excuse me. A-ha! Okay, here we go.

  [reading from scroll] 

  Tawaret : Welcome, gentle traveler... Travelers, to the realm of the Duat.

  Steven Grant : Duat? The Egyptian underworld. This is Taweret, goddess of women and children...

  Marc Spector : Uh-huh.

  Steven Grant : ...and she's guiding us through our journey to the afterlife. Wow.

  Marc Spector : Okay. Right. So, this... this is the afterlife? THE afterlife?

  Tawaret : AN afterlife, not the afterlife. You'd be surprised how many intersectional planes of untethered consciousness exist.

  Marc Spector : Yeah.

  Tawaret : [gasps]  Like the Ancestral Plane! Oh, just gorgeous! Anyway.

  [Marc buries his face in his hands] 

  Tawaret : I do actually do have cards for all this if you just wait, and... I'm sorry.

  [sifts through the cards, tossing many away] 

  Tawaret : Wait... Bye.

  [gasps softly] 

  Tawaret : Okay, so... Because the Duat's true nature is impossible for the human mind to comprehend...

  Steven Grant : Right.

  Tawaret : You may perceive this realm as something more easily recognizable to you.

  Marc Spector : Uh-huh.

  Tawaret : A psych ward's a first for me, but, hey, we can roll with it, right?

  Steven Grant : Um, why would we imagine this realm to be a psychiatric hospital?

  Marc Spector : Because we're insane. We're insane, Steven.

  [begins walking away in exasperation] 

  Marc Spector : This talking hippo, talking dead bird, you're outside of my body now. And now the afterlife, right? That's the reality and this...

  Steven Grant : But Marc, Marc.

  Marc Spector : The hospital. That's the... imagination.

  Marc Spector : [to Taweret]  Sorry, he's...

  Marc Spector : Oh. man. Dr. Harrow's right.

  Steven Grant : Dr. Harrow?

  Marc Spector : This is an organizing principle.

  Steven Grant : Is he a doctor now?

  Marc Spector : I'll prove it to you. So, like, right through these doors, for example, we go through here, there's gonna be a bunch of patients...

  Steven Grant : Marc?

  Marc Spector : ...and there's Crawley probably about to yell bingooooo-oh, my God!

  [Marc has opened the door to reveal that the hospital is on a boat sailing through the sands of the Duat] 

  Marc Spector : Oh, my God!

• Steven Grant : Taweret, what's happening?

  Tawaret : I've never seen the gates to the world above so close.

  Marc Spector : How do we open them?

  Tawaret : I'm so sorry. Your Scales never balanced. Our journey's come to an end. I cannot stop the inevitable. I was really rooting for you guys, but the unbalanced souls of the Duat now must claim yours.
