• Rabbit : At castle. Getting married.

  Eliot Waugh : Well, hello, there, little plot development.

  Rabbit : At castle. Getting married.

  Eliot Waugh : Does that sound like Margo to you?

  Quentin Coldwater : Uh...

  Rabbit : Need help now, dickwads.

  Eliot Waugh : Definitely Bambi.

• Quentin Coldwater : It's the Mosaic.

  Eliot Waugh : What's the Mosaic?

  Quentin Coldwater : The Mosaic. The puzzle?

  Eliot Waugh : Nope.

  Quentin Coldwater : It's... You use tiles... Are you kidding me? You use the tiles to create a design that reflects the beauty of all life, and when you do, there's a mystery prize. You've really, you've never heard of this?

  Eliot Waugh : "The beauty of all life"? Sounds appropriately vague and impossible. What's the prize?

  Quentin Coldwater : A so-called key to greater magic.

  Eliot Waugh : Don't you love it when the metaphors turn out to be literal?

• Quentin Coldwater : All right, so 784 tiles in 15 colors. Uh, so that's 784 factorial, uh, divided by-...

  Eliot Waugh : Seriously? You're trying to calculate the beauty of all life?

• Quentin Coldwater : You sent Fen and Fray into the City? They're gonna get eaten alive.

  Eliot Waugh : She is a knife maker's daughter. She can handle herself. Besides, I sent them with Todd, so it's not like I'm completely irresponsible.

• Quentin Coldwater : So, in the Fillory books, Jane, um, she decides to try the Mosaic, right? Uh, but she's too late. Someone had already solved it first.

  Eliot Waugh : Who?

  Quentin Coldwater : Well, I don't know, but maybe it's us, and that's why we're here now.

  Eliot Waugh : I don't know. Time travel only really makes sense to me when I'm on a good deal of peyote.
