- Ann-Marie Hinzelmann: You have to understand. They are a necessary sacrifice, in accordance with Norse tradition. Just one child every few years to give thousands of townsfolk a lifetime of prosperity. You know anyone here could put the pieces together if they wanted to, but they don't. They don't want to know the price, and you don't have to burden them with it. The world is a dark and dangerous place. I provide shelter from the storm.
- Doyle: [to Laura] Has anyone ever told you that you're very cynical and more than slightly overdramatic? I'm not talking about destiny. I meant you needed a challenge, like bowling.
- Laura Moon: I'm very happy for you with your lucky powers or whatever...
- Doyle: Mmm, you're not. But go on.
- Shadow Moon: You deserve the truth.
- Marguerite Olsen: The truth doesn't get me out of bed in the morning. It doesn't do my job, or take Leon to school or hockey practice or sleepovers, so don't fuckin' preach to me about the truth!
- Cordelia: You sure you're going to be able to take care of yourself without me?
- Mr. Wednesday: You sure you got that the right way around?
