“Trust me, baby, you weren’t that good. I was just a better actress than you were actor. (Zephyra to Stryker)Ew! No offense, Mum, I don’t want to know who you’ve slept with. Kill the sexual bantering and him before I go deaf from it. (Medea)”

“Medea? Don’t worry. Satara’s rooms are far enough away that you won’t be subjected to the sounds of wild monkey sex. (Stryker)Ew! You were right, Mum. I should have allowed you to cut his throat. Get me out of here as quickly as possible. (Stryker)”

“Your father abandoned us. (Zephyra)I know. You’ve told me that enough that it’s permanently seared into my brain. Still, he’s a part of me and I’d like to have closure. (Medea)You really need to stop watching Oprah. (Zephyra)”

“I have you here. Why shouldn’t I be pleased? (Stryker)I can think of a million reasons, starting with the fact that I want to kill you more than I want to breathe. As for the others, would you prefer them in order of importance or alphabetically? (Zephyra)”

“So I conjured one of the brokers and promised him my soul if he’d protect her. (Zephyra)You can’t do that. Only a demon can. (Stryker)You’re such a brainiac, baby. And to think, I thought I married you for those amazing abs. Who knew all that brainpower was buried under those bulging biceps? (Zephyra)”

“You always obey him? (Medea)If I didn’t want to live, I’d stop taking human souls and expire. It would be a lot less painful than crossing Stryker. (Devyn)”
