Gabriel: [faints]

Will: He’s not responding to painful stimuli.

Tessa: Stabbing someone in the foot over and over doesn’t make you a doctor.

Will: You don’t understand, it’s my destiny to sacrifice myself, I deserve to die here if it means even the slimmest chance of stopping Mortmain from hurting anyone else.

Jem: If you live I’ll let you kiss me on the mouth.

Will: … on the mouth?

Will: I think I found a way to make money

Gabriel: You'd make a decent stripper

Will: I'd make an AMAZING stripper, but that's not what I'm talking about...

Henry: You know, if things had gone differently in my life, I would have been a pilot.

Henry: Hey, what would happen if you turn the remote off and then back on real fast?

Jessamine: Yeah, you would have been a great pilot...

Henry: If you're open to me getting a pet...

Charlotte: Yeah, of course. Get a dog.

Henry: No, I don't want a dog. I want a cockatoo to take rollerblading. How cool would that be?

Tessa: I make it policy never to date a peasant!

Cecily: Same

Tessa: Aren't you engaged to Gabriel?

Cecily: Aren't you married to my brother?

Tessa: ...

Cecily: ...

Will: I don't always make great decisions under pressure.

*a few weeks ago*

Tessa: What the fucking hell is this?!

Will: An Alpaca! I got the last one!

Will: If you had food on your face, would you want me to tell you?

Gabriel, wiping over his face: Where? Did I get it?

Will: Oh, no, not now. It was last week.

Will: I didn't know whether or not to tell you, but everyone was staring.

Will: Sucks to be you, I guess.

Tessa: Oh, could you grab me an extra virgin?

Will: I think one's enough for the sacrifice.

Tessa: Olive oil, Will...

Henry: Do you want a cup of tea? Milk is in the fridge.

Henry: Where else to put your milk?

Henry: But there's a windowsill outside.

Henry: I always thought if I invented the windowsill with special compartments - you know, one for milk, one for yoghurt - I could get a lot of money.

Henry: I probably should write that down...

Everyone else:

Will, on the phone: We just kinda bonked James' head. It wasn't really very hard and he's not acting differently. I'm just worried-

Cecily: Relax, it happens. Christopher used to bang his head all the time and he's fine.

Will: OK, alright. Thanks, it helps. OK.

Will, whispering to Tessa: We gotta take him to the doctor.

Gabriel: I always felt bad for people with emotionally distant fathers.

Gabriel: It turns out I'm one of them.

Gabriel: It's a miracle I didn't end up a stripper.
