Cress: So you don’t ever get angry at him?

Cinder: I would hardly say that. Sometimes I want to strangle him.

Cress: How one earth do you prevent yourself?

Cinder: I go to my favorite place on the ship and I stand and look at the stars, and I think about the continuity of life, and how the stars glow on, oblivious to the petty upsets of our lives.

Cress: Does that work?

Cinder: Not really, but after that I think about how I could kill him while he slept if I really wanted to and then I feel better.

Kai: Where were you yesterday?

Cinder: At the movies with Cress.

Kai: But you hate the movies.

Cinder: Yeah.

Kai: So why’d you go?

Cinder: Because Cress asked me to.

Kai: But every time I ask you, you say no.

Cinder: Because I hate the movies.
