Water Man: Go as you wish. That which is yours will always return to you. That which you take will always be taken from you.
Gideon: Your sister, she don't take kindly to thieving. There's plenty of time for that when you grow up.
The Kid: How do you write "wife"?

Madame Louise Fair: Man's got to do what a man's got to do, right?
