Ember : Dad. . . this is all my fault. The shop, Wade . . . I need to tell you the truth. I don't want to run the shop. I know it was your dream, but it's not mine. I'm sorry. I'm a bad daughter.
Ember : Ember, the shop was never the dream. You were the dream. You were always the dream.
Ember : I loved him, Dad.

Wade Ripple : You're so hot.
Ember : Excuse me?

Ember : Are you done yet?
Wade Ripple : Yes, please!

Ember : Want? Yeah, That may work in your rich kid "follow your heart" family, but getting to do what you want is a luxury and not for people like me!
Wade Ripple : Why not? Just tell your father how you feel. This is too important, maybe he'll agree.
Ember : [laughs sarcastically] Oh, haha, yeah...
Wade Ripple : Funny... and this whole time I thought you were so strong. But turns out, you're just afraid.
Ember : [Looks at Wade with anger] Don't you DARE judge me! You don't know what it's like to have parents who gave everything up for you. I'm FIRE, Wade! I can't be anything more than that, it's what I am and what my family is, Its our way of life! I cannot throw that all away, just for YOU!
Wade Ripple : I don't understand...!
Ember : And that alone... is a reason why this could never work... it's over Wade.

Wade Ripple : I had regrets when my dad died, but because of you, I've learned that you don't have forever to say what you need to say. I love you, Ember Lumen. And I'm pretty sure you love me, too.
Ember : [sternly] No, Wade. I don't.
Cinder : That's not true! I did their reading! Bernie, it's love. It's true love.
Ember : No, mom, you're wrong. Wade, go.
Wade Ripple : But, Ember...
Ember : I don't love you! GO!
[Brokenhearted, Wade puts her glass Vivisteria Flower down in front of her and leaves]
Bernie : You have been seeing water?
[coughs]
Ember : Àshfá, I...
Bernie : You caused the leak in the shop? I trusted you. You will not take over the shop.
[coughs]
Bernie : I will no longer retire!
[Cinder and the crowd gasps, and Bernie leaves]

Wade Ripple : Any chance you're free tomorrow to hang out with a water guy?
Ember : With a water guy? My dad would boil you alive.
Wade Ripple : He doesn't have to know! We could meet in the city. I promise nothing weird. Maybe a little pruning?
Ember : Sorry, that's not going to happen.
[She walks away with a smile.]
Wade Ripple : You smiled! I saw it! Tomorrow! I'll be at the Alkali Theater! 3:00!
