Quotes 

• Eliot Waugh : We're under attack. The Rattening, now reports of upside down rain.

  Tick Pickwick : Correct - as well as ant hills turning into volcanoes, the Balmy Sea turning to acid, and the mysterious disappearance of all blondes in the province of Crickety Cove.

  Rafe : The talking animals report this includes palomino horses. Also, every chicken in Fillory has laryngitis.

• Eliot Waugh : Idri's turned into a rat, so it isn't the Lorians. We've incapacitated the FU Fighters. That leaves the people in this room.

  Tick Pickwick : Your Highness?

  Eliot Waugh : If anyone has anything to say...

  Tick Pickwick : I'm embezzling funds from the royal treasury.

  [Gasps] 

  Tick Pickwick : Why did I just say that?

  Eliot Waugh : Hah! Because there's truth serum in this wine. I've troothied you. Anyone else?

  Rafe : Abigail and I have been using the castle guards to run an escort service.

  Eliot Waugh : Gross. But clever. Doesn't help us.

• Margo Hanson : You truthied me. I can't lie. Eliot, I did this for you. There was no other way.

  Eliot Waugh : Don't. You started this when you declared war. Now my wife and child are gone. I need to deal with the rats. I can't risk having to clean up your next mess. Guards!

  Margo Hanson : No! Eliot! What are you doing?

  Eliot Waugh : I don't know what else to do.

  [to guards] 

  Eliot Waugh : Take her to the dungeons.

  Margo Hanson : No!

  [guards grab her] 

  Margo Hanson : Eliot, I'll fix this!

  Eliot Waugh : Make sure she gets the best room. And see that she gets her coconut oil. Goodbye, Margo.

• Josh Hoberman : You'll run yourself dead, doing everything on your own. Believe me, I know. Pass some shit down the chain to the governors or the dukes or whatever.

  [Eliot gives him a look] 

  Josh Hoberman : You don't have any governors? No dukes?

  Eliot Waugh : Well-...

  Josh Hoberman : Get you some delegates, son.

  Eliot Waugh : Right, really good idea. Select governors. Yet another task for the High King.

  Josh Hoberman : Or you just hold an election. Let the people pick their own, you do nada.

  Eliot Waugh : That's-...

  Josh Hoberman : Stupid, is it stupid? I'm sorry.

  Eliot Waugh : Brilliant, Josh! I think you just invented democracy, and it's going to save Fillory.
