• William 'Penny' Adiyodi : [about his hands]  They're useless, right?

  Mayakovsky : Well, maybe not useless. You can still grab hold of things, wave hello, rub away a lonely night.

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : Okay, but for magic?

  Mayakovsky : For magic? Useless.

• Mayakovsky : Do you even like magic?

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : Yeah. Like I like money or food or any other useful shit.

  Mayakovsky : Money and food don't explode in your face.

• Mayakovsky : There is bad surprise in store for everyone.

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : What surprise?

  Mayakovsky : [Shows a chart]  Energy current should be constant.

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : But it's not. Why?

  Mayakovsky : There is something happening to magic.

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : The wellspring in Fillory.

  Mayakovsky : The current is sputtering.

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : And they're trying to fix it.

  Mayakovsky : Maybe it's going to disappear. If that's the case-...

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : Shit could get real.

  Mayakovsky : If magic goes, it will be very bad time to be Magician.

• Mayakovsky : Ask yourself a question: What will a Magician need if dark days come? Answer: magic. But if it is gone, it is gone, you say. Not so, if you store it like a battery. That's what I am building. Those knots? Old class project, tied with magic. That table, stained through with magic. You release the energy, I store it for rainy day.
