- Richard Cypher: Even if we find the Stone and you destroy it, even if you kill yourself and take Kahlan with you, you won't win.
- Sister Nicci: Your fight against the Keeper is futile. In the end, he will win. He always does. Life is fleeting, death is eternal.
- Sister Nicci: What would you do with a horse whose leg was broken? You'd put it out of its misery. This world is like a lame horse. Helping people only prolongs their suffering.
- Sister Nicci: Marissa, do you really think your han can compete with mine?
- Sister Merissa: I'm not here to compete with your han. I'm here to take it.
- Sister Nicci: There are only four of you. Either you overestimate your power, or you underestimate mine.
- Sister Nicci: [chant] Great Keeper of the Underworld, as I walk in the path to eternal darkness, grant me the strength to carry your will.
- Sister Nicci: Lord Rahl, have I displeased the Keeper?
- Frederick Amnell: The stench of your failure passes through the veil to sicken him even in the Underworld. Yet there is one way you may regain his favor.
- Sister Nicci: Tell me.
- Frederick Amnell: Bring me the Stone of Tears.
- Sister Nicci: Lord Rahl, the compass that points to the Stone of Tears only works in the hands of the Seeker.
- Frederick Amnell: Well then, if you cannot control the compass, you must find a way to control the Seeker.
- Sister Nicci: What about the Mother Confessor? The Prophecy says the Keeper is doomed to fail as long as her pure heart beats.
- Frederick Amnell: We can address the problem of the Mother Confessor's beating heart once you get the Stone from the Seeker.
- Sister Nicci: [struck by idea] I may know a way to control the Seeker, find the Stone, and kill the Mother Confessor.
- Cara Mason: [has Sister Nicci prisoner] Richard! I was chasing a buck, but I found something better.
- Richard Cypher: [seething] And what is it that you want?
- Sister Nicci: You're going to lead me to the Stone of Tears. And if any of you attempt to follow us, Kahlan will die.
- Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: And so will you!
- Sister Nicci: I serve the Keeper. I'm not afraid of death. Neither are the four powerful Sisters of the Dark who are trying to kill me and take my han.
- Sister Nicci: [to the raven] A srrand of the Mother Confessor's hair. You have served the Keeper well.
- Richard Cypher: [to Kahlan] I won't let anything happen to you.
- Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: Then you'd best not let anything happen to her!
- [points at Sister Nicci walking away determinedly]
- Sister Nicci: [to Richard] I'm going to the bridge now, and if you're not with me by the time I get there, the Mother Confessor and I will meet the Keeper together.
- Sister Nicci: I could still force you to lead me to the Stone.
- Richard Cypher: [sword ready] I will fight you until my last breath.
- Sister Nicci: [It's a standoff with him glaring at her as she looks at him with cold disdain] Prophecy says you'll find the Stone and give it to the Enemy of the Light. You're more use to the Keeper alive than dead.
- [walks off]
- Richard Cypher: How'd you find me?
- Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: I spelled your shoes!
- Richard Cypher: [laughs] That old trick!
- Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: You think I'd let you walk off with that witch without knowing how we'd get you back?
- Richard Cypher: [to Kahlan] I'm so sorry for everything that happened to you.
- Kahlan Amnell: I'm fine, now that I know you're safe.
- Cara Mason: [to Richard] You seem to be all in one piece.
- Richard Cypher: It's good to see you too, Cara.
- Kahlan Amnell: What happened to Nicci?
- Richard Cypher: She's still out there.
- [last lines]
- Darken Rahl: [conjured up by Nicci again] The Keeper is not pleased.
- [voice makes an echo]
- Sister Nicci: Actually, I've been thinking about the Keeper. And since it appears you still run his errands, perhaps you could deliver a message for me. Tell your Master I no longer serve him.
- Darken Rahl: Don't tell me the Seeker has gotten to you.
- Sister Nicci: My loyalties aren't with the Seeker. Nor are they with the Creator or the Keeper.
- [eyes turn cat-like, glowing eerily in the dark]
- Sister Nicci: My strength is mine and mine alone. And from now on, I serve only myself.
- [full jungle-cat demonic glare, then she smiles all angelic again, and as if blowing him a kiss, blows him away]
