Quotes 

• The Beast : You know, when I was a boy, a man who was meant to care for me bent me over his desk and had me over and over every time I was alone with him. It helps me understand a truth. You're powerful or you're weak. If you're powerful, you will survive.

  Julia Wicker : So what, you're suggesting I just get over it?

  The Beast : Actually, yes.

  Julia Wicker : How? Mutate? Take over a world, kill a bunch of grad students 39 times?

• Martin Chatwin : Brilliant, that, uh, laptop. The things they come up with when they don't have magic.

  Julia Wicker : Yeah, like accounts that tweet police scanner activity.

  Martin Chatwin : "Tweet"? Birds have computer accounts?

  Julia Wicker : ...Don't worry about it.

• The Beast : What you feel, the haunted look in your eyes, doesn't come from nowhere.

  Julia Wicker : Then where does it come from?

  The Beast : In the center of your being, there's a tiny beating heart.

  Julia Wicker : What, you mean like my soul?

  The Beast : Part of it, yes, the slimmest part, but it holds specific power. It's called a Shade.

  Julia Wicker : Shade?

  The Beast : It's what makes you feel the pain will burn you till there's nothing. And, yes, it's also there for love, but, uh, let's be frank, darling, you're more likely to throw yourself off a bridge than ever love again.
