- Druig: I've watched humans destroy each other when I could stop it all in a heartbeat. Do you know what that does to someone after centuries? Could our mission have been a mistake? Are we really helping these people build a better world? We're just like the soldiers down there: pawns to their leaders, blinded by loyalty.
- Thena: We have loved these people since the day we arrived. When you love something, you protect it.
- [last lines]
- [Arishem summons Sersi, Phastos and Kingo]
- Arishem: You have chosen to sacrifice a Celestial, for the people of this planet. I will spare them, but your memories will show me if they are worthy to live. And I will return, for judgement.
- [departs with the three Eternals]
- Dane Whitman: Why didn't you guys help fight Thanos, or any war, or all the terribe things throughout history?
- Sersi: We were instructed not to interfere in any human conflicts unless Deviants were involved.
- Dane Whitman: By who?
- Ikaris: Do you think it was easy to live with the truth? To know that one day all this would end? If we gave humanity the choice, how many of them would be willing to die so that billions more could be born?
- Ajak: We have watched and guided. We have helped them progress, and seen them accomplish wonders. Throughout the years, we have never interfered... until now.
- [Sprite stabs Sersi]
- Sprite: I've always envied you, Sersi. Because you got to live as one of them. And I never could. You know why I hated living with humans? Because they reminded me of things I didn't even know I wanted. Because of them, now I want to know what it feels like to grow up. To fall in love. To have a family. And to know in the end I've lived.
- Thena: I asked Gilgamesh once why he chose to protect me. He said, "When you love something, you protect it. It is the most natural thing in the world."
- Sprite: The reason humans are at the top of the food chain is because you believe in structures and principles that don't actually exist. Gods, nations, money: all concepts, stories... illusions.
