“If you want nice, baby, play with your fucking dog. When you're ready to play with a man, then call me. (Zarek)”

“Don’t push me, princess. (Zarek)Oooo. Next thing you’ll be talking like the Incredible Hulk. ‘Don’t make me angry, you wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.’ You’re not scary to me, Mr. Zarek. So you can just check the attitude at the door and play nice while you’re here. (Astrid)If you want nice, baby, play with your fucking dog. When you’re ready to play with a man, then call me. (Zarek)”

“A baby is such a blank slate, like training the understudy for a role you're planning to leave. You truly hope your replacement will do the play justice, but in secret you want future critics to say you played the character better.”

“If you're playing on fucking me to death, I'm so on board with that.”

“You really are here. (Thanatos)Hair of the dog, baby. Sooner or later, we all dance with the devil. Tonight, it’s your turn. (Zarek)”

“You wanted to play, baby." Soft words that had her freezing in place. "So we'll play.”
