Quotes 

• Quentin Coldwater : I never thought I'd say this, but thank god for Hitler.

  Julia Wicker : Yeah, no, that still sounds bad.

• Dean Fogg : In each loop, Jane alters something to see if it'll change the outcome. The sigil that appeared on your hand, brought you to Alice - that was Jane trying to get the ball rolling, trying to get you all together, working fast, and we all know how well that particular great idea worked out, don't we?

  Quentin Coldwater : So has anything actually helped?

  Dean Fogg : So far, all the loops end in your death.

  Quentin Coldwater : How many times have I died?

  Dean Fogg : 39 times. And if you die a 40th, at least I won't have to hear you ask me this question ever again.

  [Quentin looks confused] 

  Dean Fogg : Jane's dead, Quentin. The loop's done. There's no one to reset it.

• Julia Wicker : I was at Brakebills?

  Quentin Coldwater : You were supposed to be. Or you were, like, 39 times. You were the thing they changed. Jane thought, you know, cast you out in the cold, and you would get stronger, and...

  Julia Wicker : So I was right. The whole time, I was right.

  Quentin Coldwater : I don't know what to say, Jules. I should have believed you, Jules. I should have known, and I'm-...

  Julia Wicker : Look, that doesn't make up for what I did to you, which was stupid and vindictive and really dangerous. I'm so sorry, Q.

  Quentin Coldwater : Thank you.

  Julia Wicker : So how do we fix it?

  Quentin Coldwater : I don't know. I just know that I'm gonna get killed soon, and I don't really want to die being mad at my oldest friend.

• Julia Wicker : I think Jane was right. Had I been here, living it up, I would have never felt the need to figure out what magic is actually for.

  Quentin Coldwater : Okay, what is magic actually for?

  Julia Wicker : For fixing things, dummy.

• Eliot Waugh : We were all messed up on emotion magic. We deserve a pass.

  Margo Hanson : I don't need a pass.

  Quentin Coldwater : You two have ruined my life.

  Margo Hanson : No offense, Quentin, but I think you did that all yourself.

• William 'Penny' Adiyodi : All right, if you guys are using those emotion bottles, let's go.

  Alice Quinn : [They do the spell]  How I was feeling about Quentin would have got us all killed.

  Quentin Coldwater : [to Alice and Penny]  I was very angry a moment ago, but I have to be honest. You two would make a cute couple.

• Quentin Coldwater : You know something about what's been happening here - The Beast, Eliza. I would like to know what is really going on here.

  Dean Fogg : I know you would, but we are done.

  [Stands] 

  Quentin Coldwater : How did you lose your virginity?

  Dean Fogg : I was 24 years old. I was too embarrassed to tell anyone. She was considerably older than I and, oh, much, much more experienced. But - -

  [Looks at his cup] 

  Dean Fogg : You've managed to dose me, haven't you? In my tea. You little shit. Truth serum is toxic, Quentin, and banned.

• Dean Fogg : Do you remember the gift that Jane was given in the book "The Girl Who Told Time"?

  Quentin Coldwater : Uh, yeah, Ember gave her a watch and a locket.

  Dean Fogg : Ember gave her the ability to fuck with time on a cosmic scale, and Jane used it to create a time loop. When she'd fail to stop The Beast, she'd restart the loop.

  Quentin Coldwater : A time loop. Okay. Uh. So what do we have to do with The Beast?

  Dean Fogg : You just keep getting involved.

  Quentin Coldwater : I don't keep doing anything.

  Dean Fogg : Can you imagine, Quentin, how many times we've had this exact conversation? You've managed to slip truth serum to me 27 times, 27 ways, and I'm quite sick of it.

  Quentin Coldwater : So, what, this is just some giant, blood-soaked "Groundhog Day"?

  Dean Fogg : You always bring up that fucking movie. I still haven't seen it. Now it's a point of pride.
