2 I will have you without armor, Kaz Brekker. Or I will not have you at all- Inej Ghafa

5 Oh, it’s worse than that, Van Eck. If I fail, I don’t get paid. -Kaz Brekker

7 We’ll be Kings and Queens, Inej. Kings and Queens. -Kaz Brekker

9 I may. But I’ll die on my feet with a knife in my hand. -Inej Ghafa
