Olivia Taylor Dudley: Alice Quinn

Quotes 

• Alice Quinn : I'm gonna give you one chance to leave my dad.

  Daniel Quinn : [as the lamprey]  Or what? You'll kill me? You killed my family.

  Alice Quinn : That wasn't me. I don't remember what I did as a niffin.

  Daniel Quinn : Alice, I know you're lying. Your father could always tell. That little twitch you get. You murdered every one of my children because you were seeking knowledge. So, what did you learn by torturing each one of them to death, hmm? I wanna know.

  Alice Quinn : I wasn't seeking knowledge. When they died, they made pretty little lights. And when they died slowly, the lights got even prettier.

• Stephanie Quinn : Alice, mystery is not something you can take back. And I am not gonna risk it just because you think that you stepped on some creature's magical toes.

  Alice Quinn : I didn't "step on its toes"! I *murdered* its entire family! I did experiments on them to figure out what kind of magic they had. That's what I did as a niffin.

  Stephanie Quinn : Jesus, Alice. Well, you know, we've all dealt with our share of monsters.

  Alice Quinn : You don't get it! I did that kind of thing over and over again, okay? The lamprey is not the only creature that wants me dead. It's just the one who got my number. So, I wanna be absolutely clear on who the real monster is here.

• Alice Quinn : Who's she?

  Stephanie Quinn : That's Carol.

  Alice Quinn : *That's* Carol?

  Stephanie Quinn : Well, maybe you didn't realize that she used a lot of illusion work to keep herself looking thin. So now she drinks.

  [Turns to her] 

  Stephanie Quinn : Carol? You remember my daughter, Alice. She used to be dead. Now she isn't. And it's only just now that she's decided to visit us. And she brought a cat.

• Stephanie Quinn : We could call the police. They could come and get him out of the house. Problem solved.

  Alice Quinn : That's a bad idea. If it's inside Quentin, who knows what he'll do? They'll end up shooting him dead.

  Stephanie Quinn : Well, you did say he wasn't your boyfriend anymore.

  Alice Quinn : [Awkward pause]  Okay, but killing Quentin won't kill the lamprey. It'll end up jumping bodies, and then we're up against a possessed cop with a gun trying to kill us.

  Stephanie Quinn : I'm gonna need more wine.

  Daniel Quinn : I knew I should've bought a gun when magic went out.

• Stephanie Quinn : We've both been in this room for God knows how long, and I have to pee. Are you really gonna stop me from doing that?

  Alice Quinn : Just go in the corner, Mom.

  Stephanie Quinn : I am not peeing in front of your father. If I had wanted that in my marriage, I would've stayed with Jean Claude.
