Thursdays on NetflixShadow and Bone Season 1 Episode 2: "We're All Someone's Monster" Quotes
Never make decisions out of fear, Jesper. Only out of spite.
Kaz
Alina: Look at me. Do I look important to you?
Ivan: You look like trouble, which is nearly the same.
Alina: Maybe it's nicer inside the Little Palace, but out here, when you're different, when you look different, everything's at risk of becoming a fight.
Ivan: Do you know why the Little Palace has walls in the first place, hmm? Because for years, being Grisha was a death sentence. At least now, thanks to General Kirigan, we're protected. Feared. And that's how we survive. Not by being overlooked, but by making them look and knowing you're powerful.
Alina: I've survived long enough without your protection, thank you.
Fedyor: But you wouldn't last a minute now that you are you. All of Ravka has been waiting for you.
Alina: I get it. The whole country wants to see the Fold gone.
Fedyor: But it's bigger than that. You are hope for the country, yes, but a myth come true for a Grisha. It was a Grisha who created the Fold. If a Grisha destroys it, maybe... maybe we wouldn't need those high walls to protect us anymore.
Kaz: Besides, Inej refuses to kill. Would you trust her in a matter of life and death?
Jesper: Well, I've trusted her so far, and I'm still alive, so, yeah.
The Darkling: There is matter to everything. Even air or shadow. Too small to see. The Cut is something a Summoner can do, but it requires tremendous skill, and I would only use it as a last resort. Like that ambush.
Alina: Saints. Is this my life now? Hunted wherever I go?
The Darkling: You get used to it.
The Darkling: Whatever their original mission was, they must have diverted to find you. That's why I'm traveling with you.
Alina: They're that scared of you.
The Darkling: I think they're more scared of you.
Alina: Why?
The Darkling: What your power means to us. You may well be the first of your kind, but we've always had a name for you. For what we hope you can do. Enter the Fold. Destroy it.
The Darkling: You would give up your gift?
Alina: Gift? You dragged me away from my only friends, and now, according to you, I'm gonna be a target for the rest of my life. You wanna know why you've never found someone with this power? Maybe it's because they don't want to be found.
The Darkling: I'm going to ask you again. Were you tested as a child?
Alina: We hid. We were different enough already. Didn't want to be even more alone.
The Darkling: You are Grisha. You are not alone.
