Tristan
[to Victoria]

You want to grow up, and get over yourself.

Tristan

It's all right, Humphrey; she's all yours. You two really are suited to one another.

Tristan

I find the fastest way to travel is by candlelight.

Tristan

You seriously think I could kill anybody? Even if I could, I mean, everlasting life? I imagine it would be kind of lonely. Well, maybe if you had someone to share it with. Someone you loved. Then it might be different.

I thought I heard you come in. [notices Tristan is holding some ice against his eye.] What happened? Are you hurt?

Tristan

No, I'm fine.

Humphrey again?

Tristan

No, actually, it was the Guard. The Guard of the Wall.

(disbelieving)

Tristan, he's ninety-seven years old.

Tristan

Well, that's given him plenty of time to practice then, hasn't it?

Tristan
[having crashed against and falling on top of Yvaine]

Mother? Oh! Oh, Mother. I'm so sorry. Are you all right?

No, I'm not, and I'm not your mother, so get off me!

Tristan
[stands up]

You're not my mother?

Do I look like I'm your mother?

Tristan
[to Yvaine]

Excuse me, but have you seen a fallen star anywhere?

You're funny.

Tristan

No, I'm serious. We're in a crater; this must be where it fell.

Yeah, this is where it fell. It is. Or, if you want to be really specific, up there is where this weird, bloody necklace came out of nowhere and knocked it out of the heavens when it was minding its own business. And over there is where it landed. And right here, this is where it got hit by a magical, flying moron!

You've got a Babylon candle?

Tristan

Yeah, I have a bubbling candle.

A Babylon candle.

Tristan

That's what I said.

You said "bubbling."

Tristan

What the hell did you do?!

What did I do? What did you do?! "Think of home", that was a great plan! You thought of your home and I thought of mine, and now we are halfway between the two!

Tristan

Oh, you stupid cow! Why did you think of your home for?!

You just said "home"! If you wanted me to think of your home, you should've said!

Tristan

Some crazy lady was going to cut your heart out, and you wanted more specific instructions?! Perhaps you would like it in writing, or a diagram maybe!

Tristan

You sort of glitter sometimes. I just noticed it. Is it... is it normal?

Let's see if you can work it out for youself. What do stars do?

Tristan

Hmm.... Attract trouble?

Tristan
[Yvaine pushes him, amused] [grinning]

All right, I'm sorry. Let me do another guess. Is it: Do they know exactly how to annoy a boy called Tristan Thorn?
