- Emily Thorne: [closing voiceover] Sacrifice demands the surrender of things we cherish above all else. Only out of the agony of those losses can a new resolution be born... An undying devotion to a cause greater than one's self... And a moral duty to see a journey through... to its absolute completion.
- Emily Thorne: [opening voiceover] Sacrifice, by its strictest definition, takes something precious in exchange for the appeasement of a higher power. An abiding devotion to a cause that cannot be satisfied with a simple promise. Because an oath, no matter how solemn, asks nothing in return. While true sacrifice... demands unspeakable loss.
- Victoria Grayson: I've come to invite you to the house. It's the end of summer, and it seems we've barely seen you. And tonight's our annual Labor Day party, and things would just not be the same without you there.
- Charlotte Clarke: [to baby Carl, in baby voice] Oh, she needs me for another publicity stunt.
- [handing Carl to Declan]
- Charlotte Clarke: Take him.
- Declan Porter: Okay.
- [to baby Carl:]
- Declan Porter: Hey!
- [goes off]
- Charlotte Clarke: You wasted your time coming here. Dad only needs the Grayson family by his side. And I'm a Clarke now, something to be ashamed of.
- Victoria Grayson: Now if you'll recall, after our last publicity stunt, I embraced your paternity. And I can see you inherited far more than David's surname. I'm not ashamed of you, darling. I'm very proud of you.
- Charlotte Clarke: Well, I appreciate the sentiment. But I'm sorry. I can't fake anymore Grayson smiles.
- Conrad Grayson: Victoria, may I say, you are positively radiant in your natural element.
- Victoria Grayson: [elegant red dress] You mean, in the midst of a crisis, or with blood on my hands?
- Conrad Grayson: No, in that dress, at one of your wickedly expensive soirees.
- Victoria Grayson: Conrad, your gall never ceases to repulse me.
