Valentine: ..and then I saw it on the shelf and thought it looked like it might be a genie lamp, so I decided to take it home so that no one else would get it. I never rubbed it to check, but about a year ago it got knocked over and when I was picking it up... well you know how it happens.
Sebastien: Why didn't you tell me about this before?

Valentine: You had enough to think about. It's not that big a problem, something just came up and now I need to hide it somewhere no one would think to look. Out of the house.

Sebastien:Valentine... do you know how dangerous the Djinn are?

Valentine: Her name's Himemiya. She has a crush on Eric. It's kind of sweet.
Sebastien: No, it is not! You can't kill them, you can barely control them, and a single one could destroy the world!

Sebastien: I'll just charter a boat and find a good deep place where the current will take it away from shore into some deep chasm for a few dozen millenium.
Valentine: No! That's really not necessary!

Sebastien: Oh? Because you've made friends? "Hello, I am Valentine of Avalon. You don't know me, but my ancestors enslaved your race and banished them from this plane of existence."

Valentine: OK, she doesn't know about that part.

Ravish: I'm back! Is Valentine here? I saw her car outside.
Back in the lab...

Ash: That's the last of it. All the CNS connections have been made to the new body.

Nightshade: Finally! Now wake her up so we can go kick that backstabbing duplicate and my mutinous minions out of my lair!

Ash: Nightshade, I usually let you make your own mistakes hoping that you'll learn from them, but are you sure? There's no telling how much damage was done before I put Beressa's head into suspended animation, and people really underestimate how much of a person's identity is derived from their gender. Doing this could be worse than just letting her pass on.

Nightshade: No, you don't understand! Beressa is pure awesome, and nothing in the world can change that!

Ash: *sigh* All right.
