Nimona : Really? Well, you thanked me, said you'd forever be in my debt, and that we'd always be best friends. Totally happened.

Ballister Boldheart : You never said you could turn into me.

Nimona : We are villains. Embrace it.
Ballister Boldheart : No. We're doing things my way this time. No one gets hurt.

Nimona : Who has four thumbs and is great at distractions?
Ballister Boldheart : Fine, but dial it down. Something inconspicuous and discreet like... And she's gone.
