Wednesdays 9:00 PM on The CWNancy Drew Season 4 Episode 1: "The Dilemma of the Lover's Curse" Quotes
Nancy: Aren’t you going to be late for work?
Ryan: No, I’m a small business consultant now. I go in at like a soft 10 am.
I’m talking about Chunky, the ferret. Once I find the Velez family’s beloved MIA weasel, I can finally pay my overdue electric bill and make a dent in the property tax.

Carson: We don’t have to talk about Ace if the topic is upsetting.
Nancy: I’m not upset. I can talk about a platonic friend who I have to keep alive by never letting him know that I’m in love with him so that we don’t act on our feelings for one another and activate a secret death curse.
Bess: Have you spoken to Ace lately?
Nancy: I’m just giving him his space. It feels like the least I can do after stomping on his heart.
Ace: Bess told me to bring these. She said you’d be running errands.
Nancy: I have no errands whatsoever.
Ace: Bess parent-trapped us.
Nancy: You don’t have to talk to me if you don’t want to. You can just set the box down and go. Or you could stay.
Ace: I don’t know what’s right anymore. I’ve been trying to make peace with it all, but I was so mad at you.
Nancy: I know.
Ace: I respect what you want, I really do, but what hurts is that I lost a friend over a stupid like, not even a kiss.
Nancy: If there’s anything that I can do for us to be friends again.
Ace: I’d like that.
Nancy: This is my fault. This deep dive should have happened weeks ago. Instead, I let the case go cold.
George: Hey, we are going to defrost it.
Nick: Nobody stole that body.
Nancy: It rose from the grave itself.
Nancy: Hide me.
Tristan: Get in the lobster hold.
Nancy: Ah, lobsters aren’t my favorite.
Tristan: But you worked at The Claw:
Nancy: Exactly, they know what I’ve done to their friends.
Nick: We can’t live our lives waiting for something that may or may not happen.
George: Yeah, it’s not really living.
Nancy: Local legend says that on this night every year, lovers’ souls separated in death can find each other. So people write the name of their beloved, seal it in a bottle, and send it out to sea so their souls can reunite if they so desire on this side or the other.
Chief Lovette: And there’s general buy-in on this?
Nancy: You seem to have an issue with what people in this town believe.
Chief Lovette: In my experience, when people start believing ghost stories, problems lie ahead. I don’t want to see anyone get hurt.
Nancy: Same.
George: Who would want to work with a scatterbrained lawyer like me?
Carson: I think you trained your brain to survive by juggling a million things at once. But right now, maybe that superpower is killing this superpower. I can work with you to gather all the pieces, to focus. Will you accept my help?
Nancy: I thought exonerating Ace would fix things, but it didn’t because I’ve been lying to him for weeks, pretending I don’t love him.
Ryan: Only to protect him, though.
Nancy: Yeah, and still caused so much suffering. It’s like my compass is off, my sense of true north, and I’m supposed to be an adult now. So why do I feel so lost?
Ryan: An adult? Well, then, welcome to the Club of lost adults because we’re all just trying to wing it.
Nancy: That’s not good enough. I want to make decisions that I can be proud of. I want to be someone that I can be proud of.
