Quotes 

• The Beast : Life is pointless. The after-life even more so. Which is why we invent these games to fill the void of existence. Who diddled whom. Who'll get revenge for it. Who takes the throne.

  Julia Wicker : Yeah, well, that would be me, actually, and my friends.

  The Beast : Ah, well, I doubt they're your friends anymore.

• Marina Andrieski : [about Reynard]  I don't give a shit about getting him.

  Julia Wicker : You should.

  Marina Andrieski : Look, I didn't summon him. I didn't get raped by him. I have no skin in this except that I want to kick your ass and kill him.

  [gestures to the Beast] 

  The Beast : [singing]  "Fate may often treat me meanly/ But I keenly pursue/ A little mirage in the blue..."

  Marina Andrieski : Did you scrape him off the Cabaret floor?

  Julia Wicker : Reynard is targeting Hedges.

  Marina Andrieski : Right. So the answer is to have Michael Buble kidnap me and then use me as bait?

• The Beast : You know, I'm about to make an enemy of a god who I have no quarrel with. And without decent bait, you're literally asking me to do it blindfolded, shackled, and hopping on one leg.

  [pause] 

  The Beast : If... if I took just a smidgen of your Shade, not only would your trauma drop away, you'd have no issue with using Marina.You'd be free of these useless feelings and this idiotic moral quagmire.

  Julia Wicker : Come near me and the knife won't kill you. 'Cause you can still live without a dick.

  The Beast : [sighs, starts singing]  "Life is very rough and tumble..."

  Julia Wicker : Or a tongue.

• The Beast : You're doomed. Which I might find amusing except it's likely to get me killed. And for what?

  Julia Wicker : Because no matter what I'm going to hold onto-...

  The Beast : If you say humanity, you will learn I can vomit nonstop for two hours.

• Julia Wicker : Did you put some kind of curse on the castle?

  The Beast : Did I? It was so long ago. I hardly remember... Wait, wait, wait, yes. I believe I did work up a little welcome. Yes, since Ember made it impossible for me to retake the throne and the Children of Earth kept coming and coming, drunk on self-love and power-lust. Yes, I thought of it as a kind of royal test that no one ever passed. Sadly.
