Count Olaf : Looks like you could use a little assistance.
Klaus Baudelaire : You're gonna need assistance when we get back to town! Aunt Josephine's gonna tell everyone what happened!
Count Olaf : [sarcastically] And then I'll be arrested and sent to jail and you'll live happily ever after with a friendly guardian, spending your time inventing things and reading books and sharpening your little monkey teeth, and bravery and nobility will prevail at last, and this wicked world will slowly but surely become a place of cheerful harmony, and everybody will be singing and dancing and giggling like the littlest elf! A happy ending! Is that what you had mind?

Violet Baudelaire : Do you remember when Mum and Dad went to Europe, and we thought they'd abandoned us because they didn't even write? And then we found out they'd written a long letter and it had just gotten lost in the mail. Do you remember how guilty we felt for thinking bad thoughts about them? This is just like that.
Klaus Baudelaire : No it's not.
Violet Baudelaire : Why?
Klaus Baudelaire : Because they're not in Europe. They're not coming back
