Carswell Thorne: I've figured out what we're going to do. We're going to win this. 

Linh Cinder: ...we don't even have a plan. 

Carswell Thorne: So? I win every single game. 

Linh Cinder: Only fools dive in, Thorne. And besides, this isn't a game. 

Carswell Thorne: Don't you get it, Cinder? It's uphill for oddities, ain't every wannabes. The weird and the novelties-it's our chance at glory!

Linh Cinder: Tell me that I'm not crazy. 

Scarlet Benoit: Believe me, Cinder, we're on another mentality. 

Carswell Thorne: Oh for-I need someone who understands. 

Winter Hayle: Well,I'm ready for whatever it takes. 

Linh Cinder: Sink in the river the lessons I learned!

Scarlet Benoit: With Thorne leading us on some suicide plan? We're living in a powder keg and giving off the sparks!

Carswell Thorne: Oh, I just want you to come with me!

Jacin Clay: I never felt this way before, but I'm going to have to side with Cinder on this one. It would be a sin to go through with this...this recklessness!

Carswell Thorne: Finally, I can see you crystal clear. 

Jacin Clay: Believe me, Thorne, I would gladly do it twice. 

Carswell Thorne: You're gonna wish you never had met me. 

Cress Darnel: Woah, woah. I know that it's a little complicated, but let's just all calm down here. Thorne, darling, so it goes, I'm sure that you would burn Levana to the ground, but we do need a plan. 

Carswell Thorne: Show me an open door, then you go and slam it on me. 

Ze'ev "Wolf" Kesley: Kai and I have a plan. And we'll never be wrong together. 

Emperor Kaito: Yeah. And we're way too fly to partake in all this hate. 

Linh Cinder: Kai. You have my heart inside of your hand, and you know it, but...fly? Please, don't. 

Emperor Kaito: Psh. They say it's all been done but they haven't seen the best of me. 

Carswell Thorne: See? The emperor gets it!

Emperor Kaito: There's...nothing I can say to that. 

Scarlet Benoit: Wolf, what's your plan?  

Ze'ev "Wolf" Kesley: Well, I don't think the world is sold. It's risky, but if you do exactly as we tell you, it'll work. 

Winter Hayle: I'm a puppet on your strings. 

Cress Darnel: I'm just a product of the system. Break me down and build me up. 

Linh Cinder: Steal my heart and hold my tongue-if it takes down my aunt, I'm in. 

Jacin Clay: Like a river flows surely to the sea-I'll be there to protect Winter, and take down whatever part of the Lunar aristocracy that we can. 

Carswell Thorne: I'm...skeptical, but you know what? Take my hand. Take my whole life, too. 

Linh Cinder: Stars. Quell the enthusiasm, Thorne. 

Emperor Kaito: Okay, so, I don't know which way I'm going, but it'll lead to victory. I promise you that. I'll put my armor on, show you how strong I am. 

Scarlet Benoit: No need for that, Kai. 

Ze'ev "Wolf Kesley: We were born to run. We were born for this. Let's do this.
