- Vanessa Whitaker: You don't remember, do you? Let me give you a piece of history about your planet. Your name was Vilandra and you were beautiful. Even more beautiful than you are now. You had a great love and for him, for us, you betrayed your brother, your race.
- Isabel: No!
- Vanessa Whitaker: You sacrificed him. You sacrificed everyone, even yourself. And history, my dear, always repeats itself.
- Isabel: Listening to my private conversations?
- Max: Why you calling him, he just left.
- Isabel: I was just leaving him a message to thank him for the flowers.
- Max: You already thanked him.
- Isabel: [sarcastically] Yeah, and you guys made him feel really welcome.
- Max: He wasn't invited.
- Isabel: I invited him, before I ever knew there was a party.
- Max: Don't do it again.
- Isabel: Excuse me? Are you forbidding me?
- Max: You can't let anyone new in. It's too dangerous.
- Isabel: Like it was too dangerous to let Liz Parker in?
- Max: That's different.
- Isabel: Yeah, it was. You wanna know how, because I can date someone and keep my mouth shut at the same time. You couldn't.
- Max: That was the past. We gotta think about the future. The one our mother talked about.
- Isabel: Right. Right the king. I'm sorry, how could I forget? All I know is, Max, you may be king, but I am not bowing down to you. Not in this lifetime!
- Valenti: Address book. Evans. Evans. Guerin. Not a wide circle of friends.
- Max: Tess never had anyone but Nasedo.
- Valenti: And you three.
- Max: Isabel was the only one she was really ever close to.
- Valenti: What about you?
- Max: It was... it was too complicated.
- Valenti: She wanted to jump your bones, huh?
- Max: Something like that.
- Valenti: Screws things up every time.
- Max: Happen to you?
- Valenti: Yeah. In my dreams.
