- Scott McCall: What if this is just another trick?
- Peter Hale: When are you people gonna start trusting me?
- Scott McCall: [Pointing to the Nogitsune] I meant him.
- Peter Hale: Oh.
- Committee chairwoman: We want to review both your successes and your failures.
- Sheriff Stilinski: [Looks at two stacks of files - one very large and one very small] Which pile is which?
- Committee chairwoman: ...
- Sheriff Stilinski: I'm sorry I asked.
- Nogitsune: You want to handcuff me?
- Sheriff Stilinski: If my son is still here, if there's still a part of him standing here in front of me, then he'll put these on willingly and he'll come with me, because he knows I'm here to protect him from himself and from others. You're not my son.
- Nogitsune: Oh, I hope he gets there in time. I like the twins. Short tempers. Homicidal compulsions. They're a lot more fun than you bakemono trying to save the world every day.
- Rafael McCall: I don't think Sherlock Holmes could figure out half the bizarre crap happening in this town. I mean, this place is literally the Bermuda Triangle of homicides, disappearances, and strange occurrences.
- Peter Hale: What are you doing? And more importantly, why aren't you healing?
- Derek Hale: It's from one of their swords. It'll heal.
- Peter Hale: By playing chess?
- Derek Hale: Back in his room, Stiles had a board with my name on one of the pieces. If this is a game to him, then I need to figure out the plays.
- Peter Hale: Not so easy to do when it's a game without rules.
- Derek Hale: What does that mean?
- Peter Hale: You're dealing with the kind of spirit that's lived too long to play by human rules. It's a fox spirit that chose to become human. And supposedly, that's something they can do only after about 100 years. If a kitsune is an annoying pain in the ass, then a nogitsune, which is a dark kitsune, is a freaking disaster. Besides, chess is Stiles's game. It's not the game of a Japanese fox.
- Nogitsune: Why that kanji? Why "self"?
- Hashiko Yukimura: To signify that he died as himself. Because Rhys wasn't a monster. Not like you.
- Nogitsune: If I'm such a monster, why'd you call off the oni? What happened to the woman who called out for chaos, strife and pain to descend upon everyone and everything? What happened?
- Hashiko Yukimura: I don't want that anymore.
- Nogitsune: I do.
- Peter Hale: Scott is gonna to try to dig through pale and sickly evil Stiles' mind to unearth pale and sickly real Stiles then guide him back through the depths of his own subconscious.
