22 " I wanted to lay corpses at her feet and prove I may be a monster but I was her monster. "
23 " That night, before you sent me away, was the best night of my life. The marks you laced me with lasted a full week. Every time I looked in a mirror, or touched a bruise in the shower, I grew slick for you. You visited my dreams. I woke to aching wetness and an empty heart. "
24 " I’m not afraid of hurting you. I’m afraid of how far I’m willing to go. "

35 " Three little words: I was sold. "
36 " Accept that you are no longer a woman. You are merchandise. And merchandise must have a barcode for sale. "

38 " I’m the only one who owns my fate. Not you. Not your guards. Not your sick operation. No one. "
39 " Q wasn’t a monster. He may think he was, but a monster would never do that. A "
