21 " Even fairy tales have limits," said Sophie. "Three people can't have an Ever After. Not without me being alone. "

22 " And yet knowing all these mistakes were yours, beautifully yours, and you came out the better for it... the boy I left behind well on his way to becoming an extraordinary man and an extraordinary king." Merlin smiled. "If only from your choice of princess alone. "
23 " That's the difference between Good and Evil, Clarissa,' the Evil Dean said softly. 'We know that love isn't always enough for a happy ending. "
24 " Rat #1 got you through the gates, didn't it?" said Anadil, stroking the still-pooped pet in her pocket. "Rat #2 gets you to the tower.""And Rat #3 negotiates world peace? "
25 " No one can hide from their fate without a price. "
26 " That's right. I'm in charge now. You might be the Master of this infernal school, but you are not my Master and you will never be. You said it yourself: the Storian won't write because it is waiting for my choice, not yours. I choose whether I take your ring. I choose whether this is The End. I choose whether this world lives or dies. And I'm happy to watch it burn to dust if you expect a slave instead of a queen. "
27 " Last night," the long-nosed man replied, looking surprised by her question. "You drank a barrel of wine and told me you miss cleaning for your stepsisters because at least you felt useful and stayed fit and now you're old and bored and big as a house--""WHO ASKED YOU?" thundered the woman. "YOU SPENT HALF YOUR LIFE AS A PUPPET! "
28 " I’ve already killed you and kissed you more times in my head than you deserve. "
29 " And yet, even if my heart beats for Evil, that doesn’t mean I can’t find love. That doesn’t mean I can’t find happiness. It just means I have to find love with someone who embraces my darkness instead of fighting it. "
30 " This was about two sides warring for love.She and Tedros fighting for Good. Sophie and the School Master fighting for Evil.Once upon a time, she and her best friend tried to find a happy ending together. Now only one of them could come out alive. "
31 " and soon the cat was in the toilet. "
32 " I’m the prince and you’re the princess and rescuing our friend is my job. Just ask Merlin!” Tedros yelled, practically a shriek— “Yes, now you’ve got it, boy,” Merlin spouted, not looking as he trimmed his beard with a thorn. “Sound perfectly female now. "
33 " Looks like you’ve done enough feasting for a lifetime,” snorted Pinocchio. He saw the whole table staring at him. “Did I say that out loud? "
34 " Mushrooms are fungus and fungus reminds me of feet and I don’t eat feet. "
35 " Reaper?” Tedros blurted. “If you think for one second I’m allowing that Satan-worshipper in my castle—” “Your castle? I thought it was our castle.” “Which means we get a pet we both like.” “No Reaper, no me.” “No you, then.” “You puffed-up, lily-livered, mule-headed—” Agatha stopped and saw Sophie goggling at the two of them. “I really am better off, aren’t I?” said Sophie. All three of them burst into laughter. "
36 " Dot hurled her pizza at her, smacking Hester in the cheek. “Do you know how unfair that is, you contemptuous git! You made me gain weight in order to stay in the coven and now you’re making fun of me for it? Are you that insecure that you needed me to be fat to feel okay about yourself? Well, you picked the wrong piggy tail to pull, honey. I love myself no matter what I look like, so nothing you say to me will ever make me feel ugly again. Because unlike you, Hester, I’ll never be ugly inside. "
37 " I choose whether this world lives or dies. And I’m happy to watch it burn to dust if you expect a slave instead of a queen. "
38 " Silence fell between the two couples. Even the Storian faltered, unsure who was defending who anymore. “Don’t mind me,” Rafal prodded, smiling. “Who needs a villain when you three have each other? "
39 " Go ahead, laugh. You can name your children Blond and Blonder. "
40 " it’s too early in the morning for goodbyes. "
