- Quentin Coldwater: I never thought I'd say this, but thank god for Hitler.
- Julia Wicker: Yeah, no, that still sounds bad.
- Dean Fogg: In each loop, Jane alters something to see if it'll change the outcome. The sigil that appeared on your hand, brought you to Alice - that was Jane trying to get the ball rolling, trying to get you all together, working fast, and we all know how well that particular great idea worked out, don't we?
- Quentin Coldwater: So has anything actually helped?
- Dean Fogg: So far, all the loops end in your death.
- Quentin Coldwater: How many times have I died?
- Dean Fogg: 39 times. And if you die a 40th, at least I won't have to hear you ask me this question ever again.
- [Quentin looks confused]
- Dean Fogg: Jane's dead, Quentin. The loop's done. There's no one to reset it.
- Margo Hanson: So this is a little hitch in our adventure. Are we just gonna act like children now?
- Eliot Waugh: Now, now, Bambi. He's got a right to be mad.
- Margo Hanson: No, he doesn't. People don't get to be mad at me because I had sex with them. You're welcome, both of you.
- The Librarian: Penny, Alice, Eliot, and Janet, you are all late.
- Margo Hanson: Actually, it's Margo.
- The Librarian: This time.
- The Librarian: The books you seek are in another branch.
- William 'Penny' Adiyodi: Of course they are. Look, could you - could you expedite that shit? I don't have much time, and I really need to know how to take people with me.
- The Librarian: I'll put in a request.
- William 'Penny' Adiyodi: Why am I not feeling optimistic?
- The Librarian: Probably because Franz Kafka wrote "The Trial" after spending a week in the library.
- Margo Hanson: What have you got? Anything?
- Eliot Waugh: "The Book of Mike McCormick". Novella, really. He was actually a Republican. Can you believe it? But the worst part? His life was happy.
- Margo Hanson: Eliot, he's gone. Why are you torturing yourself?
- Eliot Waugh: Because he's gone and it's my fault. And of all the people in the world who don't understand, somehow you top the list.
- William 'Penny' Adiyodi: Don't walk one more step. We're highly trained Earth magicians.
- Josh Hoberman: Hold up. Hold up. You guys are from Brakebills? Dude, Josh Hoberman, class of '16.
- [Serious tone]
- Josh Hoberman: Come with me if you want to live. I've always wanted to say that.
- [chuckles]
- Josh Hoberman: But seriously, um, we should go.
- Josh Hoberman: [about Fillory] It was magical.
- [chuckles]
- Josh Hoberman: I mean, more magical than Brakebills, like going from black and white to color. V and I had a threesome with a naiad. This guy Donnie, he had sex with a talking horse. I mean, it's not exactly taboo in Fillory since the animals can give consent, but we were all still a bit squicked out.
- Margo Hanson: We get it. You fucked some animals.
- Julia Wicker: I was at Brakebills?
- Quentin Coldwater: You were supposed to be. Or you were, like, 39 times. You were the thing they changed. Jane thought, you know, cast you out in the cold, and you would get stronger, and...
- Julia Wicker: So I was right. The whole time, I was right.
- Quentin Coldwater: I don't know what to say, Jules. I should have believed you, Jules. I should have known, and I'm-...
- Julia Wicker: Look, that doesn't make up for what I did to you, which was stupid and vindictive and really dangerous. I'm so sorry, Q.
- Quentin Coldwater: Thank you.
- Julia Wicker: So how do we fix it?
- Quentin Coldwater: I don't know. I just know that I'm gonna get killed soon, and I don't really want to die being mad at my oldest friend.
- Margo Hanson: Why didn't you move?
- Eliot Waugh: Acid carrots. Margo, you saved my actual life.
- Margo Hanson: Hooray, you live to drink another day.
- Julia Wicker: I think Jane was right. Had I been here, living it up, I would have never felt the need to figure out what magic is actually for.
- Quentin Coldwater: Okay, what is magic actually for?
- Julia Wicker: For fixing things, dummy.
- Eliot Waugh: We were all messed up on emotion magic. We deserve a pass.
- Margo Hanson: I don't need a pass.
- Quentin Coldwater: You two have ruined my life.
- Margo Hanson: No offense, Quentin, but I think you did that all yourself.
- William 'Penny' Adiyodi: All right, if you guys are using those emotion bottles, let's go.
- Alice Quinn: [They do the spell] How I was feeling about Quentin would have got us all killed.
- Quentin Coldwater: [to Alice and Penny] I was very angry a moment ago, but I have to be honest. You two would make a cute couple.
- Quentin Coldwater: You know something about what's been happening here - The Beast, Eliza. I would like to know what is really going on here.
- Dean Fogg: I know you would, but we are done.
- [Stands]
- Quentin Coldwater: How did you lose your virginity?
- Dean Fogg: I was 24 years old. I was too embarrassed to tell anyone. She was considerably older than I and, oh, much, much more experienced. But - -
- [Looks at his cup]
- Dean Fogg: You've managed to dose me, haven't you? In my tea. You little shit. Truth serum is toxic, Quentin, and banned.
- Dean Fogg: Do you remember the gift that Jane was given in the book "The Girl Who Told Time"?
- Quentin Coldwater: Uh, yeah, Ember gave her a watch and a locket.
- Dean Fogg: Ember gave her the ability to fuck with time on a cosmic scale, and Jane used it to create a time loop. When she'd fail to stop The Beast, she'd restart the loop.
- Quentin Coldwater: A time loop. Okay. Uh. So what do we have to do with The Beast?
- Dean Fogg: You just keep getting involved.
- Quentin Coldwater: I don't keep doing anything.
- Dean Fogg: Can you imagine, Quentin, how many times we've had this exact conversation? You've managed to slip truth serum to me 27 times, 27 ways, and I'm quite sick of it.
- Quentin Coldwater: So, what, this is just some giant, blood-soaked "Groundhog Day"?
- Dean Fogg: You always bring up that fucking movie. I still haven't seen it. Now it's a point of pride.
- Margo Hanson: This place is impossible. How does anyone find anything? There's a whole wing on cat paintings.
- Richard: Tomorrow you can worry all you want about Our Lady Underground. Tonight... tonight should be about Dionysus.
- Julia Wicker: Whoo, ooh. Dionysus, okay. You, uh you bang a lot of undergrads with that one?
- Richard: Fewer than I'd hoped.
- Servant of Our Lady Underground: Why should she waste her time with you?
- Julia Wicker: I *am* privileged, and I have done some stupid shit, and I have been through nothing compared to some of my friends.
- Servant of Our Lady Underground: So you wish to help them? Heal them? Is that it?
- Julia Wicker: Yes, that is exactly what I want to do.
- Servant of Our Lady Underground: No. No, no, no.
- [clicking tongue]
- Servant of Our Lady Underground: Magicians that's all you ever want, power, every time.
- Julia Wicker: You know what? For the longest time, that is all I wanted. But now I just want to do whatever the fuck it is I'm supposed to. And if she's around, if she gives a shit, I have to believe she wants her daughters to show a little ambition. So you tell her that I am trying to reach something higher.
- Servant of Our Lady Underground: Where's the platinum?
- Julia Wicker: We didn't bring that.
- Servant of Our Lady Underground: Too bad. Exit through the gift shop.
- Julia Wicker: But we did bring something of great and shining worth.
- Kady Orloff-Diaz: Just say it. If you're wrong, you're wrong.
- Julia Wicker: We brought you our faith.
- Servant of Our Lady Underground: Ooh. Tricky, tricky, tricky, tricky. I like it. But to be honest, I'm sensing more skepticism than faith here.
- [Looks at Kady]
- Kady Orloff-Diaz: Look, um, I'm trying. She's the one that had the dream, okay?
- The Librarian: No food, drinks, or any other intoxicants are allowed in the library at any time. That includes emotion bottles. Damage always ensues.
- [Breaks the bottles]
- The Librarian: You understand, of course.
- Margo Hanson: [Freaking out, shrieking] I planned my whole outfit around that bottle!
- Richard: That bite, that - that thing in you that wants to puzzle everything out, that is gold.
- Julia Wicker: No matter how crabby it makes me?
- Richard: I think especially when it makes you crabby. I think that us angry, questioning people sometimes shut up too fast, and that is probably part of why the gods took off. No one around with the fire to keep yelling their names. This is gonna sound corny, but don't lose that fire.
- Julia Wicker: Well, it sounds like you're saying good-bye.
- Richard: I'm saying thank you.
