"We could think of a little something extra for a chance to go to the ball. Perhaps I'll meet my true love there."
--
"Oh, Richard. I'm only teasing."

Liz lets out a giant sigh. "Nice going."
"Well yeah, but.. we aren't like that." He points to the cage.

"We don't have to think of anything. You do."

"I need your cooperation to help me think of something that will be suitable."
--
"A lot of my old boyfriends thought I was.. beneath them, I guess."

"Would you like money?"
--
"You're a djinn, though. I mean, that's pretty fancy."

"Because we're.. born this way." Jed blinks.

"I don't need money."

"..Not according to my father."

"No money at all? What abooout.. some old books of mine?"

"He's the only one who doesn't think so."

She shakes her head. "I'm afraid not."
"I don't know how to cure it.. it's not something that happens too often these days."

"Old books. I have acquired quite a lot from witches, demons.. and I'm sure there are a few from public libraries, as well."

"I want to see them."
---
"Most of the people my father assosiated with. That's why I ended up with friends like Heath and Stephen."
---
"Angie is the one who bit him, isn't she? Did she do this to my Stephen on purpose?"

"Gosh, they're so far away. It'll take ages for them to get here. I'll have list grab an armload and bring them to you."
--
"Some friends." Hmph.

"Of course not. Angie is very responsible."

---
"..The point is I have no intention of being like my father."
