43 " It's not so bad."Melancholia looked at her. "You're lying.""I'll get used to it. So will you.""I... I don't think I'll be able to.""I'll be there to help when you need it.""But I hate you."Valkyrie smiled. "No you don't.""No, I do. I want to kill you and stuff.""We actually became friends in those caves.""That's not what happened, " said Melancholia."We're pals. We're buddies. "
44 " Remember that day I called Valkyrie and told her to take the afternoon off? Yeah, I was stuck in a wall. "

51 " Do your best not to die, sweetie,” he said quietly. “She’s the only one who knows how to work the dishwasher. "
52 " She would live and love. She would be vibrant and happy and thoughtful and strong. "
53 " I don’t want to think about living in a world where you’re not in it, all right? "
54 " You could go multicoloured, I suppose. You could show your support for the gay, lesbian and transgender communities. The Rainbow Cleaver, perhaps? No? Too much? That’s not your thing? Ah, that’s a pity. "
55 " Oh, my dear, you wound me. Have I ever let you down?” “Numerous times.” “I meant today.” “Then, no. You haven’t. That I know of. "
