Quotes 

• Yennefer : I heard the song. Geralt must have left quite a sour taste in your mouth.

  Jaskier : What? He... No one leaves any tastes in my mouth, thank you very much. I sing of universal matters, my dear, generous lady. Emotions which anybody could experience. That song could be about anyone.

  Yennefer : [Not falling for it]  Mmm.

  Jaskier : Anyone.

  Yennefer : Mm-hm.

  Jaskier : Anyone. Anyone... Fine. Yes, when I wrote it, it did come from the heart.

• Dock Guard : If you don't mind me saying so, that song, uh... it's not your strongest.

  Jaskier : Oh, yeah?

  Dock Guard : It's a bit complicated. Took me to the fourth verse to understand there were different timelines.

  Jaskier : [Quietly, clearly offended]  Oh, did it?

  Dock Guard : [Oblivious]  That magic kiss? That was a bit cheap.

  Jaskier : Yeah?

  Dock Guard : I spotted the dragon reveal a mile away.

  Jaskier : [Getting steadily more annoyed]  Oh, you're clever. You're a clever one.

  Dock Guard : I must say, the bit when the lute player ends up with the warrior ladies...

  Jaskier : Lovable, lovable lutanist...

  Dock Guard : Yeah! Didn't really ring true for me, I must say.

• Jaskier : [to Yennefer]  I would not wish that fate on my worst enemy, and, yes, you are firmly lodged in that category, it has to be said, but... what they've done to you and your people is unspeakable.

• Jaskier : What happened to you?

  Yennefer : I've lived a long life. You'll have to be more specific.

• Jaskier : I'm scared that one day, the muses will stop speaking to me. Because who are we, when we can no longer do the one thing we were put on this Continent to do?

  Yennefer : We find a new purpose. A better one. Hopefully

  Jaskier : [Smiles slightly]  Chaos could never be done with the likes of you, Yennefer of Vengerberg.

• Jaskier : I hear you're alive, how disappointing - I've also survived, no thanks to you - Did I not bring you some glee - Mister, oh, look at me - Now I'll burn all the memories of you - - All those lonely miles that you ride - Now you'll walk with no one by your side - Did you ever even care - With your swords and your stupid hair? - Now watch me laugh as I burn all the memories of you - - Ladies and gentlemen, you have been the most beautiful audience - Remember to toss a coin if you can - If anyone needs me, I'll be at the bar - - What for d'you yearn? - It's the point of no return - After everything we did, we saw - You turned your back on me - What for d'you yearn? - Watch that butcher burn - - At the end of my days when I'm through - No word that I've written will ring quite as true as "burn!" - Burn, butcher, burn - Burn, butcher, burn - Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn - Watch me burn all the memories of you

• Jaskier : Once upon a time, I would have used this opportunity to call you an empty, lonely, power hungry she-demon, but... I'm an artist, Yennefer. It's my job to put myself in other people's shoes. Even if they are, in your case, large, clunky, and, I don't know, probably full of snakes or something.

• Yennefer : I need to get to Cintra.

  [Looks at Cahir] 

  Yennefer : The both of us.

  Jaskier : Well, I'll do what I can. But know this. You, you both...

  [Dramatic pause] 

  Jaskier : ... Smell truly awful. I mean, it is like something has crawled up your asses and died.

• Jaskier : They come for the elves. They'll come for the dwarves. And sooner or later, they will come for everyone. Anyone that they deem the "other," so, eventually... no artist is safe.

• Jaskier : Stick close to the wall and stay out of sight until I give you the signal. I'm gonna do what I do best.

  Cahir : And what's that?

  Jaskier : Oh, I never really know. Tthat's why I'm so good at it.
