Wasn't Molly Grue was in tears when she said that? And Schmendrick seemed taken back that she spoke to the Unicorn in such a way.
There are so many memorable quotes. Another one that sticks in my mind:
The Unicorn spoke quietly to him. "You are a true wizard now, as you always wished. Does it make you happy?" "Well," said Schmendrick slowly, "Men don't always know when they're happy but, I...I think so."
Yes, you have the scene. That's the a good line from Schmendrick, too. You know, it's nice to see someone in a story get the magic power they want, and not have it be a bad thing. :)
Yes. And Schmendrick is one of my favorite magicians and probably the only one I could ever trust. :-)
"Where were you twenty years ago? Ten years ago? Where were you when I was new? When I was one of those innocent young maidens you always come to? How dare you! How dare you come to me now, when I am this!"
