The Magicians
Wednesdays 9:00 PM on SyFyThe Magicians Season 3 Quotes
Eliot: Turns out, the key creates illusions of what you most fear. Hence, my dad. I told my father that the guys in the tent didn’t know the difference between a tractor and a backhoe. And so he went to set them straight.
Quentin: You saying--you fed your dad to cannibals?
Eliot: An illusion of him. But yes. It was very cathartic. There was lots of screaming on both sides.
Why is nobody crying? I saved all your asses so many times. Appreciate me!
Penny
Alice: I didn’t know where else to go. After the burial I can’t be in the same room as my mom.
Quentin: Well we could really use your help finding these keys, bringing magic back--
Alice: Honestly, I don’t think we should.
Quentin: Okay. I don’t really know where to begin with that. I mean, for starters this is our quest. I sort of feel like we were elected. It’s magic. Jesus Alice, I--
Alice: You turn it back on what happens to your dad? Sometimes I want magic back more than anything. And sometimes I look around and I see what a mess we made with it.
Hyman: Ssshhut up. Shut up!
Julia: Hey.
Quentin: Hey. How’s Kady?
Julia: Sleeping it off in the infirmary.
Quentin: How did you know to knock down her door?
Julia: Just a… feeling.
Quentin: Okay.
Hyman: They’re my favorite pairing. The tension between them. Friends for years, but he’s always loved her.
Stephanie: Alice?
Alice: Hi, mom. So, I’m alive.
Stephanie: Oh, I know. Quentin called us after it happened. And you’re just visiting us now.
Alice: I’ve been meaning to come by.
Stephanie: Excuse the mess. All our architectural exchanments collapsed when magic vanished. But then, you’d know that if you ever called.
Alice: Who’s she?
Stephanie: That’s Carol.
Alice: That’s Carol?
Stephanie: Well, maybe you didn’t realize that she used a lot of illusion work to keep herself looking thin. So now she drinks. [Pause] Carol? You remember my daughter, Alice. She used to be dead. Now she isn’t. And it’s only just now that she’s decided to visit us. And she brought a cat.
Fray: What an odd way to make a living, pirating.
Fen: We can make our stand here. Fran, get behind me. I won’t let them harm you and neither will your father.
Benedict: If we fight, they’ll kill us.
Eliot: Plus, are we super totally sure that talking to them won’t work?
Fen: Pirates take. That’s what they do.
Fray: Will you not fight, father?
Fen: Your father is a powerful magician, but when magic disappeared--
Fray: Is father a coward then?
Eliot: Father’s a survivor.
Penny: What’s with the candy? You gonna summon some kind of chocolate loving demon to save my ass?
Kady: The scent of chocolate makes them less likely to eat us. I hope.
Penny: The only nice thing about losing magic? The radio signals in my head went out, too.
Kady: All’s quiet on the psychic front?
Penny: Yeah, you can get used to that.
Guard: Queen Margo, the Destroyer, my King.
Margo: You’re the pirate king?
Pirate King: As King, I get to be called whatever the fuck I want.
Margo: Fine by me. I’m here to motherfuckin’ parlay, Ms. King.
Pirate King: Maybe you and I could take a private cabin and parlay a thing or to on our own?
Margo: Yeah, I’m hot. You’re extremely hot yourself. But you just took over my goddamn boat. Which tells me you’re not one to pay attention to a safe word.
Pirate King: What’s a safe word?
Margo: Exactly.
Sorry, Officer. Our friend's cat was sick and exploded. You know, like they do.
Quentin
Quentin: Alice?
Alice: Shit.
Quentin: Hey, how did you -- what are you doing here?
Alice: Same as you, I guess. Following all this crazy magic, hoping it leads to Mayakovsky's batteries.
Quentin: By yourself? It took four of us to -- Well, you are Alice Quinn.
Eliot: She is a spy for the Faerie Queen. It's probably better if she's not our daughter.
Fen: All my life I've wanted a family of my own and I know this isn't ideal. We've missed so much with her, but it's not her fault. She needs the one thing in life she's never had.
Eliot: Manners.
Fen: Love.
