Emily Baldoni: Sister Nicci

Quotes 

• Richard Cypher : Even if we find the Stone and you destroy it, even if you kill yourself and take Kahlan with you, you won't win.

  Sister Nicci : Your fight against the Keeper is futile. In the end, he will win. He always does. Life is fleeting, death is eternal.

• Sister Nicci : What would you do with a horse whose leg was broken? You'd put it out of its misery. This world is like a lame horse. Helping people only prolongs their suffering.

• Sister Nicci : Marissa, do you really think your han can compete with mine?

  Sister Merissa : I'm not here to compete with your han. I'm here to take it.

  Sister Nicci : There are only four of you. Either you overestimate your power, or you underestimate mine.

• Sister Nicci : [chant]  Great Keeper of the Underworld, as I walk in the path to eternal darkness, grant me the strength to carry your will.

• Sister Nicci : Lord Rahl, have I displeased the Keeper?

  Frederick Amnell : The stench of your failure passes through the veil to sicken him even in the Underworld. Yet there is one way you may regain his favor.

  Sister Nicci : Tell me.

  Frederick Amnell : Bring me the Stone of Tears.

  Sister Nicci : Lord Rahl, the compass that points to the Stone of Tears only works in the hands of the Seeker.

  Frederick Amnell : Well then, if you cannot control the compass, you must find a way to control the Seeker.

  Sister Nicci : What about the Mother Confessor? The Prophecy says the Keeper is doomed to fail as long as her pure heart beats.

  Frederick Amnell : We can address the problem of the Mother Confessor's beating heart once you get the Stone from the Seeker.

  Sister Nicci : [struck by idea]  I may know a way to control the Seeker, find the Stone, and kill the Mother Confessor.

• Richard Cypher : [seething]  And what is it that you want?

  Sister Nicci : You're going to lead me to the Stone of Tears. And if any of you attempt to follow us, Kahlan will die.

  Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander : And so will you!

  Sister Nicci : I serve the Keeper. I'm not afraid of death. Neither are the four powerful Sisters of the Dark who are trying to kill me and take my han.

• Sister Nicci : [to the raven]  A srrand of the Mother Confessor's hair. You have served the Keeper well.

• Sister Nicci : [to Richard]  I'm going to the bridge now, and if you're not with me by the time I get there, the Mother Confessor and I will meet the Keeper together.

• Sister Nicci : I could still force you to lead me to the Stone.

  Richard Cypher : [sword ready]  I will fight you until my last breath.

  Sister Nicci : [It's a standoff with him glaring at her as she looks at him with cold disdain]  Prophecy says you'll find the Stone and give it to the Enemy of the Light. You're more use to the Keeper alive than dead.

  [walks off] 

• [last lines] 

  Darken Rahl : [conjured up by Nicci again]  The Keeper is not pleased.

  [voice makes an echo] 

  Sister Nicci : Actually, I've been thinking about the Keeper. And since it appears you still run his errands, perhaps you could deliver a message for me. Tell your Master I no longer serve him.

  Darken Rahl : Don't tell me the Seeker has gotten to you.

  Sister Nicci : My loyalties aren't with the Seeker. Nor are they with the Creator or the Keeper.

  [eyes turn cat-like, glowing eerily in the dark] 

  Sister Nicci : My strength is mine and mine alone. And from now on, I serve only myself.

  [full jungle-cat demonic glare, then she smiles all angelic again, and as if blowing him a kiss, blows him away]
