Quotes 

• Margo Hanson : Penny's dead?

  Tick Pickwick : Was he not already?

  Benedict Pickwick : I can't believe it.

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : Thank you, finally!

  Benedict Pickwick : He was my best friend.

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : ...Okay, I mean, all right.

  Margo Hanson : [Sadly]  I guess I always thought someday we were gonna bang.

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : Me, too, girl. Me, too.

• Dean Fogg : Well, I suppose someone should say some words. Yes?

  Quentin Coldwater : Okay, um, yeah. We're here today to remember the life of a friend and student. Uh, William Penny Adi... Adi... Uh I don't really know how to pronounce his last name.

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : [Unseen]  It's Adiyodi. Idiot.

• William 'Penny' Adiyodi : Hey, have you been paying attention to Quentin's stupid key thing?

  Hyman Cooper : Have I.

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : Yeah, great, shut up. The ghost said it has the power to reveal things that are hidden. *I'm* a hidden thing.

  Hyman Cooper : [Gasps]  Twist.

• William 'Penny' Adiyodi : Why is nobody crying? I saved *all* of your asses so many times. Appreciate me!

• Hyman Cooper : I'm Hyman Cooper

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : *Hyman*?

  Hyman Cooper : Mm-hm.

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : Did that mean something different when you were born?

• William 'Penny' Adiyodi : When did you get this sweet boat? Man. I miss all the cool shit.

• Hyman Cooper : [Watching Quentin and Julia]  They're my favorite pairing. The tension between them. Friends for years, but he's always loved her.

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : ...Seriously? These two?

  Hyman Cooper : You and Kady are great. I totally ship that. Alice is okay. She's a bit of a Mrs. Grundy, you know?

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : I don't get that reference.

  Hyman Cooper : Oh, Josh is my idol. That man is a Vagician.

  [Penny gives him a confused look] 

  Hyman Cooper : But Quentin, I mean, the outsider let into the inner sanctum of secret knowledge. As someone born in 1902, I find a heterosexual white male hero very relatable.

• Hyman Cooper : Quentin is the duck's nuts.

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : No, that cannot be a real thing people said.

• William 'Penny' Adiyodi : Hyman, where have you been?

  Hyman Cooper : [Points to Quentin and Julia]  I went with them to solve the mystery of Rupert's golden key.

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : Who cares?

  Hyman Cooper : If they find all seven keys, Penny, then... something good happens? I missed a bit.

• Kady Orloff-Diaz : I can't wrap my head around sending him to work for the Library for a billion years. I don't trust them.

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : There you go. Come on, Kady.

  Alice Quinn : The Underworld's not so bad. Quentin says there's a bowling alley. And a billion years surrounded by books sounds like Heaven.

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : Damn it, Alice. I thought we were bros.

• Hyman Cooper : My God! I was only trying to follow the story.

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : No, what Julia does in the bath is not story!

  Hyman Cooper : It is revealing... of character.

• Margo Hanson : When I get back I'm gonna fix this. Benedict, you're gonna round up the guards. Tick, you're gonna go to that fairy-repelling hallway and you're gonna grind one of those bricks to dust. You're gonna put it in the Fairy Queen's bath and when that knocks her on her ass I'm gonna cut out her heart and eat it in front of every goddamn Fairy asshole in the Kingdom.

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : ...Damn. Girl, you get shit done.

• William 'Penny' Adiyodi : Damn it, Hyman. This isn't terrifying. It's just two dudes kissing. You homophobic pussy.

• Eliot Waugh : [Tries to create an illusion with his Key]  Holy moly. What have I done?

  Eliot's Father : Eliot, what the hell are you wearing?

  Eliot Waugh : Hi Dad.

  Fen : This is your father?

  Fray : Hi, Grandpa.

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : What is with everyone and their daddy issues today?

• Eliot's Father : Dressed like that, everyone's gonna know you haven't worked a day in your life.

  Eliot Waugh : It's just an illusion.

  Eliot's Father : I didn't think you could make a sailor's uniform look gayer.

  Eliot Waugh : It's just an illusion.

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : My God. Eliot, you might be the only person in the multiverse more fucked than me.

• Fen : We haven't eaten in days.

  Eliot Waugh : Right, um If you had a an extra sandwich or something...?

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : [Unseen]  No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

  Bodi : Have a seat.

  Eliot Waugh : Oh, thank you.

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : No, no, no. No, Eliot, don't! They're cannibals! Oh, God.

  Eliot Waugh : [Bodi passes him some meat]  Thank you.

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, that's... don't eat that. No, don't eat that, please.

  [Eliot takes a bite] 

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : You're eating a dude!

• William 'Penny' Adiyodi : [At Kady]  You know, I I thought we'd have normal problems. Like, I'd look at other girls, and you'd get mad. Or you'd tell me a story for the third time, and we'd realize we have nothing left to say. But we don't get normal problems. I know what you're looking for. Don't. This is stupid. What do you think this is gonna solve? You can't hear a word I say.

• Hyman Cooper : You haven't heard of me? The Pervert Ghost of Brakebills?

  [Penny stares blankly] 

  Hyman Cooper : I was a student here in the 1920s. A Traveler, like you. I would practice Astral Projection around the campus. You know, pop into lectures, the dormitories, uh, showers, you know how it is.

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : Uh, no.

  Hyman Cooper : And as a prank, someone moved my body while I was-...

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : Being a pervert.

• William 'Penny' Adiyodi : You know you're not a ghost, right?

  Hyman Cooper : Wha - I'm not?

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : You were on the Astral Plane when you died. So was I. Our minds were traveling. Now they have no place to go back to. Look, ghosts have some unresolved shit in this world, so they relive their death over and over. Are you doing that?

  [Hyman shakes his head] 

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : People can see ghosts. Ghosts can touch things. I know, 'cause I've been touched by a ghost, Hyman, and it wasn't great. We can't do that.

  Hyman Cooper : Okay, Professor, then how come I can sit in a chair? Why why am I not just falling forever?

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : I don't know. I don't make the rules. Your ass just knows.

• Hyman Cooper : I told you it wouldn't end well.

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : You know, I wish you weren't dead so I could kill you.

• Gavin : Penny signed a contract with The Order, guaranteeing his services in this life and, well, beyond. Curiously, his soul never reported for service to our Underworld branch.

  Kady Orloff-Diaz : Then where is he?

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : I'm right here.

  Gavin : Likely in the process of becoming a vengeful spirit. Best to nip that in the bud before his time is up.

  Kady Orloff-Diaz : What do you mean?

  Gavin : The soul is tethered to the body for seven days after death. We can use that tether to yank Penny's soul out from wherever and send him on his way.

  Kady Orloff-Diaz : How?

  Gavin : Eat him, naturally.

  [Kady looks horrified] 

  Gavin : Oh, sweetheart, I'm not gonna eat him. I'm a pescatarian. The Order has retained the services of a Corpse Eater for situations such as this.

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : No one is eating my body, okay? I'm not done with it yet!
