Penny 40: I should get the bad news out of the way: I can’t help you.
Josh: Why the hell not?
Penny 40: Take a look around. Librarians have been going through some shit lately, no magic, too much magic but unpredictable. A lot of our folks got relocated, and we kinda don’t exactly know where. OK, perfect world, your boss steps in and oversees shit, but Hades has vanished.
Josh: Your boss is the god Hades? Cool, expect for the abandoning you part.
Penny 40: Can’t say that’s great. We got a skeleton crew. And, here’s the bad news for you: Our connection to the world of living, Hades controls that, and right before he FO’d he flipped the switch.
Josh: Why? Man, dead you is just way more zen. So after all that, why did you stay?
Penny 40: I make a promise. I keep it.

The Magicians Season 5 Episode 10 Quotes

Kady: We’re gonna get those pricks for this.
Alice: I don’t know Kady. Maybe we should just walk away.
Kady: Look, you can walk away, but I’m not done ‘til I cut that son of a bitch’s balls off. I owe them that for tying me up, and I owe them triple for what they did to you. You can sit it out, OK.
Alice: Um no, we’re in this together.
Fen: Oh, this is so beautiful. You friendship really is the most underrated form of love. I’m sorry. I’m just extra emotional with the assassination going sideways, and then Josh, Eliot, and Julia not making it back. Not to mention all that crazy stuff Plover told us, it’s just really overwhelming. So uh, what have you guys been up to?

Elaphus: I want you to stop time traveling.
Penny 23: Are you like the god of time or something?
Elaphus: Hardly. I’m a time traveler like young Plum here. I have been monitoring you.
Plum: And now you’re keeping us prisoner?
Elaphus: ‘This one will be smart,’ I thought, ‘Cautious.’ Then you had to risk altering the future to save some young pervert.
Penny 23: Is this the part where you draw us little diagrams about screwing up the flow of time or whatever?
Elaphus: Nice thing about the 21st century, you’ve all seen ‘Looper,’ so I can get to the point. We are here because though I would rather be making lamps, I am forced to focus on the most important task there is: protecting the integrity of space-time, which you threaten. I’d have hoped you’d waste your time on something useful, try to kill Hitler at least.
Plum: I was getting to it.
