O'Bengh : Is she worth the pain? A man does not suffer like this for his own glory.
Doctor Strange : Every moment of it.
O'Bengh : There is a fine line between devotion and delusion. Love can break more than your heart. It can shatter your mind.
Doctor Strange : Uh-huh. And in which book did you read that?
O'Bengh : [chuckles] No book, Armani. Life taught me.

[the universe implodes]
Strange Supreme : [sees the Watcher] You... You can stop this! Please, fix this!
The Watcher : The same way you fixed Christine?
Strange Supreme : What? I was wrong. I...
The Watcher : You were warned!
Strange Supreme : I know! But the world! The world shouldn't pay for my arrogance. I read about you, sensed your presence. You're a god. You can undo this!
The Watcher : I'm not a god. And neither are you.
Strange Supreme : Then punish me! Not the world, not Christine!
The Watcher : Honestly, if I could fix this, if I could punish you instead, I would. But I can't interfere. You, more than anyone else, should understand that meddling with time and events only leads to more destruction.
[fades away]
Strange Supreme : No. No!

[the good and bad halves of Dr Strange confront each other]
Doctor Strange : The Ancient One warned us. If we save Christine, we destroy the world.
Strange Supreme : [sighs] I told you, she doesn't understand. We love Christine.
Doctor Strange : This isn't love. Look at this! This is arrogance. This is our need to fix everything. It's what drove us to study the Mystic Arts in the first place.
Strange Supreme : And look where we are.
Doctor Strange : Deranged.
Strange Supreme : I will be whole again.
Doctor Strange : No. Your marbles are long gone.

Doctor Strange : Why does this keep happening? Aren't we allowed to be happy?

[Christine begins to disintegrate along with the universe]
Strange Supreme : No! This wasn't supposed to happen!

The Watcher : In this universe, Stephen Strange didn't lose his hands...... .but his heart. Grief-stricken, Strange sought answers across the world and in the Mystic Arts.
Doctor Strange : The Eye of Agamotto, cradle of the temporal singularity discovered by Cagliostro, manipulation and alteration of timelines. Time travel.
Wong : What are you doing?
Ancient One : Tinkering with time can weaken the very fabric of the universe. We protect reality. We don't threaten it.
The Watcher : And when the threat came and The Ancient One was lost, Stephen Strange stood tall. The man of science became the Sorcerer Supreme.
Doctor Strange : Dormammu, I've come to bargain.
The Watcher : Yet despite all he'd gained, Stephen Strange could not let go of the past.
-
Strange Supreme : I've come too far to turn back NOW!
-
Doctor Strange : The world out there is breaking!
Strange Supreme : Don't you DARE lie to me! I AM *YOU*!
