The Fall Quotes

Nurse Evelyn: [in the story, as Sister Evelyn] May I be frank with you?
Blue Bandit: Of course.
Nurse Evelyn: Although I've dedicated my life to God and His goodness, I secretly love throwing oranges at our priest.
Blue Bandit: [as Roy, talking to Alexandria] Take two turns to the left and go to the bathroom.
Alexandria: [squirming because she has to use the restroom] No. You read my note.
Roy Walker: What are you talking about? Go to the bathroom.
Alexandria: No. How did you know about the priest and the oranges?
Roy Walker: Everybody knows you like to throw oranges at the priest, even the priest knows. But I didn't find that out from your gibberish message.

Roy Walker: [pointing at the letter 'E'] What's this?
Alexandria: Three.
Roy Walker: Yeah... that's it. I'm having a hard time sleeping and remembering the story. I need some pills. I need pills in a bottle that has this written on it.
