- Saavedro: You never came back. When class was over you took your boys away and you never came back. Sirrus and Achenar did.
- Atrus: ...I realize I've been given another chance too. A chance to learn from my mistakes, and leave the past behind me, once and for all.
- Saavedro: This morning I woke up and I couldn't picture Tamra's face. Little line at the corner of her lip that pulls her whole mouth down when she smiles, the flutter in her eye lashes. I tried so hard to picture her in my mind. Put her down on paper as if that might bring her back. I couldn't do it. Atrus, I'm not you.
- [if you trapped Saavedro between the two shields, Saavedro glances at you for trapping him]
- Saavedro: Oh god, no. Idiot! Oh, no! No! No! No, no, no! No, no, no, no, no, no, no... NOOOOO, no, no, no...
- [if you approach Saavedro after he tells you to drop the barrier to the gondola]
- Saavedro: Whate are you doing? Go back inside and drop the outer barrier. Do it. Or I swear, I will drop this book into oblivion.
- [if you still stand there]
- Saavedro: What are you waiting for?
- [angered]
- Saavedro: Drop the outer shield or I swear, I will drop this book!
- [if you came back to Saavedro after he tells you to switch the shield to the gondola right after your first approach towards him]
- Saavedro: What? You don't think I am serious about destroying Releesahn? Drop the barrier, or I will drop this!
- [if you did what Saavedro said by switching the shields to the gondola]
- Saavedro: Apparently, it is my turn to live up to the end of the bargain.
- [Saavedro drops the Releesahn book into the water and gets away with the gondola as the objective to claim Releesahn has failed]
