Calliope (at Dream's funeral): I am not here to mourn. I mourned the loss of my man a long time ago. I am here to say good-bye to a stranger who once gave me a good turn. And to a man who gave my son the death he craved.

Matthew: Anyone here?
Dream (speaking of his own funeral): I'm here, Matthew. Should you not be at the ceremony?
Matthew: What ceremony? All I saw was a shitload of people I didn't know and a bombed pumpkin.

Matthew: Just remember, what the French say. No, probably not the French, they've got a president or something. The Brits, maybe, or the Swedes. You know what I mean?
Dream: No, Matthew. What do they say?
Matthew: The king is dead, that's what they say. The king is dead. Long live the king.

Master Li: Only the Phoenix rises and does not descend. And everything changes. And nothing is truly lost.
