- Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: When there is no way, the Seeker will find a path. Lesson number four.
- Richard Cypher: You said the last one was number four.
- Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: Number five, then!
- Richard Cypher: Are you making this up?
- Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: You're making the magic that's being peddled on the streets of Drundril. Why?
- Jeziah: The sale of these potions will allow me to raise a militia. An army of the Midlands. A force powerful enough to fight Rahl and his followers.
- Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: Jeziah. I want to defeat Darken Rahl too, but selling magic? It goes against everything we believe in, everything I taught you!
- Jeziah: Those teachings are from another era, old friend. Rahl isn't playing by any rules.
- Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: And that justifies exploiting these villagers?
- Jeziah: Their lives are dreary. They're suffocating under Rahl's edicts. Magic gives them an escape.
- Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: Magic is rare, it's special. You can't just sell it on the streets to anyone for a few copper coins. In the wrong hands, it ruins lives, it kills!
- Jeziah: One village is a small price to pay if we can save the rest of the Midlands.
- Jack: This is your fault. You and your friends.
- Kahlan Amnell: [as she tends his wounds] I guess you should've stolen someone else's horses.
- Jack: I needed them, to buy magic.
- Kahlan Amnell: What did you use it for?
- Jack: A girl.
- Kahlan Amnell: A girl?
- Jack: Yeah.
- Kahlan Amnell: Tell me about her.
- Jack: Her name's Miranda. She works at the flower stand. Prettiest in the whole town! But she won't even look at me, unless I use the potion.
- Kahlan Amnell: Have you tried talking to her?
- Jack: I don't know what to say. I can't even think when I'm around her.
- [Kahlan smiles]
- Jack: Of course! You could confess Miranda. Make her like me! Not just for a few minutes, but all the time!
- Kahlan Amnell: [shakes her head] I could never use my power in that way, Jack.
- [smiles]
- Kahlan Amnell: Love is a choice we make.
- [shakes her head]
- Kahlan Amnell: If you take away that choice, it's not really love, is it?
- [shakes her head]
- Kahlan Amnell: Someone loving you, wanting to be with you, because you forced them? Trust me...
- [shakes her head]
- Kahlan Amnell: It won't make you happy.
- Jeziah: You should kill me.
- Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: We're taking you to a healer. You'll wear the Rada'han for the rest of your life. You'll never have the powers of a Wizard again, old friend.
- Richard Cypher: You know him?
- Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: I thought I did.
- Richard Cypher: Kahlan, about... back at the river. I didn't see anything.
- Kahlan Amnell: Richard, you should never lie to a Confessor.
- [smiles, walks on]
