Mary and Ed Flint in “Unfinished Business”

Mary

Does Miles have a favorite constellation?

Yeah. Hercules.

Mary

Which one's that? I've never been able to see those things.

Hercules is there. See it?

Mary

All I see is a random arrangement of dots light years apart. I tend to see things as they are. No magic or no shine.

Do you like being that way?

Mary

Sometimes it's good. Sometimes it's not so good. My dad used to tell me we don't need magic as long as we've got — anyway. Sometimes I wish there was just a little magic.
