Morrigan: There are things about human society that have always puzzled me. Such as the touching — why all the touching for a simple greeting?

Lars: I'm worried about her. I think she [Karin] has a little problem.
Dr. Dagmar: Oh, well, maybe you shouldn't tell me.

Some people don't like to be hugged. But she doesn't realize that. She takes it personally, and, it hurts her feelings. I don't know what to do about that. Do you?
Dr. Dagmar: It's such a comfort sometimes, just to have somebody's arms around you. Don't you think?
Lars: No.
Dr. Dagmar: It feels good.
Lars: It does not feel good. It, it hurts.
Dr. Dagmar: Oh, like a cut, or bruise?
Lars: Like a burn. Like when you go outside and your feet freeze and you come back in and then they thaw out? It's like that. It's almost exactly like that.
Dr. Dagmar: Same with everyone?
Lars: Uh, not really with Bianca. But everyone else.

Lon'qu: Enough! I yield! Just remove your paw from me.
Maribelle: PAW?! Why, you inbred, foul-tempered, low-born gutter rat! Are you so truly averse to women that you must insult them at every turn?
Lon'qu: I... do not function well around them. The closer they get, the worse it is. I beg of you, keep your distance.

She sank to her knees, shivering despite the heat. "This is such a fucking joke," she mumbled. "I should have let you finish me off when I had the chance."
He leapt toward her, grabbing her by the shoulders. "Don't say that!" he cried.
A look of fury crossed her face. She brought a foot up between them, planting it on his chest, and pushed, hard. He flew back, sprawling in the sand. "Don't touch me!" she yelled. "Not now, not ever! Do you understand? Do not touch me!"
