Quotations

 * Sam: "If we hit ten...Travis said that he would let us film him in a haunted house."
 * Sam: "Going forward, he's going to be the little spoon."
 * Brian: "Secretly British, what's worse?"
 * Sam: "Definitely a real concern for me and for Nott that Yeza would be horrified by her new appearance."
 * Sam: "I feel like we would make a great graphic sex scene together."
 * Liam: "I'm still in the building, Riegel!"
 * Sam: "My daughter was asking 'does Yeza think Nott is ugly?' and I was like 'no, he's ok with it' and she's like 'oh, good.'"
 * Sam: "I think she is okay with her husband calling her by her given name of Veth. But I think as long as long as she's in that body she's gonna consider herself not fully how she thinks of herself and probably will still go by Nott for the time being. I think. I think! I don't know."
 * Matt: "He's a good guy."
 * Matt: "What happened was a possibility I was considering but I also know players are very stingy with magical artifacts."
 * Sam: "I hope it works out that she finds her way home somehow."
 * Brian: "If you're not on the show, just go home!"
 * Sam: "Their relationship is just evolving."
 * Sam: "She's ready to impress the shit out of her husband with her skills."
 * Matt: "One of the best things about being a dungeon master is when your players surprise you. Not just with their actions, but with their growth. And seeing where you all started, seeing the journey of the Mighty Nein from these people that wanted least of all to be involved in grander schemes, that really seemed to pay no mind or take no stock in the way the world at large seems to be moving and grinding forward, to step up and take real interest into the care of good people and the future ahead of them, it was amazing. And for me it's a really thrilling moment."
 * Sam: "All I'm saying, guys, is drink more." Matt: "No, don't--don't at all listen to him." Sam: "If anyone tells you to stop drinking, what the fuck do they know?"... Brian: "I have three words, please: Liam for president." Dani: "I can't work with this, Sam."
 * Matt: "The whole world isn't gray. There is good and there is evil, and there are things in between. And really what it comes down to is being inquisitive enough and following the right threads to uncover those shades of light and dark amongst the gray."
