Quotes 

• Margo Hanson : I look like Jack Sparrow if he were played by a man.

  Eliot Waugh : I was actually thinking more like a fem bot Nick Fury.

• Eliot Waugh : I was angry and scared of what you were capable of, but you were doing your best in an impossible position that would've crushed anyone, myself included.

  [pause] 

  Eliot Waugh : Wait, is your good eye crying right now?

  Margo Hanson : No. Yes. And it's not my good eye, it's my only fucking eye.

  [Eliot chuckles a little] 

  Margo Hanson : It's not funny, you dick, I'm a Cyclops!

  Eliot Waugh : A mythological monster at last. Box checked.

• Margo Hanson : We're trying too hard.

  Eliot Waugh : Pardon?

  Margo Hanson : To just blow past it and banter. It's not the same. Let's not pretend it is, okay? That makes it hurt worse.

  Eliot Waugh : I guess we'll just have to live with the strain till the future reveals itself. Meantime, that future is going to be a big, blank, post-apocalyptic nada unless we do what we do best.

  Margo Hanson : Act out with a total lack of empathy and impulse control?

  Eliot Waugh : Party like the world depends on it, 'cause Bambi One Eye, it do.

• Margo Hanson : Democracy has to take a backseat. Without magic, the people are terrified, and that is just one step from an angry mob.

  Eliot Waugh : And that's how royal heads end up in baskets. I get it. I get it.

  Margo Hanson : This is an undereducated, pre-industrial populous, Eliot. They need to be ruled.

  Eliot Waugh : They *need* to be inspired.

  Margo Hanson : They need to *think* they're being inspired as they're being ruled.

• Margo Hanson : Fen? Are you okay? Sweetie, do you know where you are?

  Josh Hoberman : A plane laid atop our own, so the Fairy Castle and Whitespire actually occupy the same space and time, but two dimensions. Or possibly the same dimension, but incredibly sped up like that one episode of "Star Trek".

• Fairy Queen : Ember is dangerously bored of Fillory. You underestimated how devastating it can be to displease a god.

  Margo Hanson : We've been trying to get ahold of Ember for months. He ignores us.

  Fairy Queen : Because you ask for things. Offer something to him instead.

• Margo Hanson : Think back to what you built with your brother Umber.

  Ember : My brother, rest his soul, was nothing but a simpering, sniping, anal retentive critic, as well as a - -

  [Cut to Umber] 

  Nigel : Greedy, promiscuous, selfish, credit-hogging, mouse-eating slob!

• Eliot Waugh : We are officially a land of godless heathens, making today the first day of our societal adulthood. I, for one, am slightly terrified and equally excited. And trying not to break into "Hamilton". And so, I turn over the next phase of our maturation to our High Queen Margo.

  Margo Hanson : We need a constitution.

  Gillen : Pardon?

  Margo Hanson : [Hands the counsel scrolls of paper]  These are some pretty good ones here, so let's rip off the best parts.

• Margo Hanson : I'm talking curfew, martial law, conscription, and severe and public punishment.

  Eliot Waugh : Okay. Can we maybe make our way to King and Queen Caligula, please?

• Eliot Waugh : Wait, what about a human sacrifice?

  Margo Hanson : No.

  [pause] 

  Margo Hanson : Unless the cakes are bad.
