Haley: There’s a lot of ways to do readings, but astrology and tarot are intimately connected. If you use them together, they’re a really powerful combination for forecasting.
Haley: [referring to the tarot cards] Guys, we really shouldn’t be doing this. It’s kind of an unspoken rule not to use somebody else’s deck.
Haley: You’re climbing the ladder towards success, but The High Priestess reversed is a warning to maybe slow down. She could cause you to slip up, and suffer a crushing blow.
Elise: I’m going to focus on the part where you said “ladder to success”.
Madeline: Don’t run away from your problems.
Haley: Just remember, when one door closes, another one opens.
Paxton: So, does that mean I’m going to become rich and famous or date someone hot?
Grant: Dude, she’s not a genie.
Grant: You just pull some cards and make up whatever you want. Is that how this works?
Haley: I use the deck to read the stars.
Paige: Haley, what are you doing?
Haley: Reading my horoscope.
Elise: What’s it say?
Haley: Same thing it always says. Love’s going to be the death of me.

Paige: How can you say that? We don’t have control over our own lives?
Haley: No matter how much it sucks, you can’t change fate.
Haley: [to Paxton] You think one of us is killing our friends?
Haley: I don’t believe in coincidence. I believe in fate.

Haley: Yes. But in ways we never could have imagined.
Haley: Our friends are dying because of their readings. And if we don’t do something, we’re going to die too.
Alma: Thousands of years ago, horoscopes were the primary tool used by ancient civilizations to navigate a dark and unpredictable world. There are many ways to read horoscopes. But combining horoscopes and tarot was, and still is, the most powerful form of divination known to man.
Paxton: Are you saying that we’re cursed?
Alma: Yes.
Haley: How do we stop this? What do we do?
Alma: What I should’ve done a long time ago. Destroy the deck. Then maybe you’ll have a chance to change your fate.
Haley: I wish I never did those stupid readings.
Haley: That night we first met, I asked the stars if we should be together. And the answer was no. And a few weeks ago, I did another reading, hoping things had changed. But it was the same.
Grant: Then maybe we were cursed from the start.
Grant: I thought you said we couldn’t change fate.
Haley: Well, what if we could? What if we could? All I know is that my mom never stopped fighting. She never gave up hope. And neither should we.
Haley: [to the Astrologer] In readings, Death can mean the end of something, or the start of something new. But in your case, it just means death.
Haley: Fate doesn’t have to be a curse. We can choose to let go.
Grant: Guys, we did it. We changed fate.
Haley: F*** fate.
