Spoken by Sersi[]
- "I can change a rock into water. Uh, I could turn a rock into wood. Or a rock into metal. Actually, one time, I turned a rock into air."
- ―Sersi[src]
Spoken about Sersi[]
- "“In this broad Earth of ours, Amid the measureless grossness and the slag, Enclosed and safe within its central heart, Nestles the seed Perfection.” The poet’s hope and optimism in humanity echoes our recent universal victory, the return of half our population… And, thank God, there she is. Our brilliant museum scientist, Ms. Sersi, the person who will be and was always supposed to be giving you your presentation today."
- ―Dane Whitman[src]
- "I promise I won’t let my feelings for Sersi distract me from my mission. Humans are far from being able to protect themselves from the Deviants. We still have much to do."
"Your faith in Arishem is strong. I can feel it. But you are allowed to live a life, you know? Go tell Sersi how you feel." - ―Ikaris and Ajak[src]
- "Sersi, Ajak has chosen you to take her place as the Prime Eternal. Do not fail me."
- ―Arishem the Judge to Sersi[src]
Dialogue[]
- "Are you a wizard?"
"What?"
"Yeah, like Doctor Strange."
"No. I’m…"
"I’ve noticed some unusual things happen when I’m around you. Like our water always turns to coffee whenever the waiter ignores us."
"That’s your caffeine addiction talking."
"And Sprite says thing. Like you and your ex-boyfriend broke up a century ago."
"She said that?"
"And he can fly."
"He’s a pilot." - ―Dane Whitman and Sersi[src]
- "What is that thing?"
"A Deviant!"
"You said you killed them all!"
"You told him that?"
"You believed me?"
"I do now!" - ―Dane Whitman, Sprite and Sersi[src]
- "We’re Eternals, from a planet called Olympia. We came here 7,000 years ago on the Domo, our starship, to protect humans from the Deviants. We thought we killed them all five centuries ago, but now they’re back."
"Look, if you don’t want to move in with me, you could just say."
"Dane, this is serious."
"Oh, I know. I’m just still getting over the fact you’re not a wizard. I was hoping you could change me into a giraffe. I always wanted to be a giraffe when I was a kid."
"It’s too bad I can’t change sentient beings. You would have made a very cute giraffe."
"Why didn’t you guys help fight Thanos? Or any war? Or all the other terrible things throughout history?"
"We were instructed not to interfere in any human conflicts unless Deviants were involved."
"Why?"
"If we’d protected humanity from everything for 7,000 years, you’d never have had the chance to develop in the way you were meant to."
"But if the Deviants were eradicated a long time ago, why are you still here?"
"We’ve been waiting to be told we can go home." - ―Sersi and Dane Whitman[src]
- "Earth was my first mission. I was home, on Olympia."
"There is no Olympia. This is your true home, Sersi. The World Forge. It is here that I built and programmed the Eternals."
"Everything dies except us because we were never alive. Why don’t I remember any of this?"
"Because your memories are erased and reset after each Emergence. They are stored here."
"Why do you keep them?"
"I keep them in order to study the Deviants. I created the Deviants, Sersi, for the same purpose I created you." - ―Sersi and Arishem the Judge[src]
- "How did he take the news?"
"Couldn’t bring myself to tell him it was the end of the world. There’s nothing he could do."
"Sersi. I’m worried about you. If Arishem finds out you’re trying to stop the Emergence, I’m not powerful enough to protect you from him."
"I’m not afraid. This violent cycle has to end. Hey, stop worrying about me."
"Old habit."
"Why did you leave? I told myself something must have happened to you. So, I waited. Days became years, and you never came back." - ―Ikaris and Sersi[src]
- "These Deviants are trying to keep us from killing their own kind. They have a conscience now. That makes them more dangerous."
"No, Sersi. That makes them us. Eternals and Deviants. Arishem’s children. But you are asking me to take control of a mind of a Celestial. I do not have that kind of power."
"We’ll need Phastos."
"Well, good luck. He gave up on humans a long time ago." - ―Sersi and Druig[src]
- "I’ve always thought of the Celestials like the ocean. They give life and they take life away without bias. If they were gone, this universe would eventually end. What you’re trying to do is free humanity from the natural order."
"It’s not natural to allow all life on an entire planet to be destroyed. Arishem’s way is archaic and violent." - ―Ikaris and Sersi[src]
- "Well, Sersi did turn a Deviant into a tree."
"I’m sorry, what? You didn’t wanna tell me that?"
"You’ve never been able to do it before."
"I don’t know how it happened, okay? And I’m pretty sure I couldn’t do it again."
"Well, now is the time to try, don’t you think?"
"Phastos, that Deviant is dead. Our plan is to put Tiamut to sleep, not to kill it. I can’t kill a Celestial." - ―Druig, Phastos, Makkari and Sersi[src]
- "I didn’t see the lies right in front of me. I’m not even sure why Ajak chose me to lead."
"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." You have loved these people since the day we arrived. So, there is no one better to lead us now than you. Sersi. Get up. Ajak chose you for a reason." - ―Sersi and Thena[src]
- "So, after all that, you still can’t change me into a giraffe?"
"Well, I could next time I’m connected to a Celestial during an Emergence whilst performing a Uni-Mind."
"Yeah. That sounds like a "no" to me." - ―Dane Whitman and Sersi[src]
