The Foremost : You're gonna try?
Margo Hanson : I'm gonna *do*.
The Foremost : If you get the least bit emotional, the spirits will possess you.
Margo Hanson : Clear on that.
The Foremost : And there'll be no man to protect you.

-
Margo Hanson : Jesus fuck a Wiseman's donkey!
-
Margo Hanson : Okay, this is too much.
Dean Fogg : Your subconscious thought you needed some wisdom.

Margo Hanson : [Margo and Lizard Eliot talking about her current quest and a lullaby he sang previously to Margo a few moments before] I quit. I can't do this anymore. That goddamn lullaby. He'd sing it every night to me. Even away on business... he'd sing it over the phone. He called me his little princess. He was better than other dads. And he thought I was better than other daughters. Until...
Eliot Waugh : You had the audacity to grow up.
Margo Hanson : Fucking apologies for the surprise, Dad.
Eliot Waugh : He saw what he raised--a woman he couldn't control... who didn't need anyone else's approval. Nothing deadlier to the fragile male ego.
Margo Hanson : He was the one who told me I could be anything. And I believed him.
Eliot Waugh : But he didn't tell you that the world makes you choose. You can be one of the smart ones or one of the pretty ones or even a strong one. But...
Margo Hanson : Try to be all three... you better smile and shut up... 'cause the second you're you, the second... I'm loud, pissed off, it's "What a bitch." "What a slut." "Who the fuck does she think she is?"
Eliot Waugh : So you never give them a chance. You hit first. And anyone dumb enough to hit back soon finds that there's no hurting you, sheathed in all that hard, glossy armor.
Margo Hanson : Then why does it hurt so much? Why does it feel like I'm losing my mind, Eliot?
Eliot Waugh : Wind and sand reduce mountains into rubble. Are you stronger than a mountain?
Margo Hanson : I'm a king. Not a goddamn princess. A king.
Eliot Waugh : You were.
Margo Hanson : I'm still a king. King of manipulation... King of pointless rage... King of I can't do this... King of he was right... King of I eventually fuck up everything.
Eliot Waugh : That's not true.
Margo Hanson : That's what Eliot would say. But you're not Eliot, are you? You're me. And we know.
Eliot Waugh : Margo. Don't-...
Margo Hanson : [They both stand up] Get angry? I'm angry... every second. Every second my eyes are open because I know who I am... not what I pretend to be. Can't do anything except pose and judge.
Eliot Waugh : Margo--you have to stop.
Margo Hanson : [She picks up her bag of black sand] The only thing I ever did right was be your best friend. That's the only thing I ever got right. And I can't even do that, or else this fucking bag would be fucking full!
[Margo screams, throwing the bag to the floor and dropping to her knees, whilst Lizard Eliot vanishes]

Margo Hanson : [music playing in the background] And this is guiding me how?
Eliot Waugh : It's the song you think to yourself whenever you're working a guy.
