* '''Minthara''': Half the men of Menzoberranzan are pleasure-servants. Weaklings, whose beauty is their only redeeming quality.
(In [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]])
* '''Minthara''': You would fit right in with them, Astarion.
* '''Astarion''': You think I'm beautiful? Oh, Minthara.
* '''Minthara''': Hrmmph.
<hr>
* '''Astarion''': So how does Lolth feel about romance? Are you expected to bite your mate's head off afterwards?
* '''Minthara''': Be grateful I no longer follow the Spider Queen's teachings. If I did, you would be the first to fall into my web.
* '''Astarion''': I can't tell if you're joking. She is joking, right?
<hr>
(In the Shadow-Cursed Lands)  
* '''Minthara''': The shadows have lingered here so long, the land itself is corroded. A most persistent curse.
* '''Minthara''': The shadows have lingered here so long, the land itself is corroded. A most persistent curse.
* '''Astarion''': I think I know a thing or two about persistent curses, thank you.
* '''Astarion''': I think I know a thing or two about persistent curses, thank you.
* '''Minthara''': The rashes and sores you may have contracted over your decades of philandering are not the kind of curse that concerns me.

(''At [[Last Light Inn]], if it's cursed'')
(At the Thorm Mausoleum)
* '''Minthara''': Devoured by the darkness. They should have retreated while they had the chance.
* '''Astarion''': And yet here we stand. We're either very clever or very lucky.
* '''Minthara''': You do not need luck to survive, Astarion. Not when you have me.
<hr>
(At [[Grand Mausoleum]])
* '''Astarion''': Ah, no shadow curse, plenty of funerary decor - I almost feel at home.
* '''Astarion''': Ah, no shadow curse, plenty of funerary decor - I almost feel at home.
* '''Minthara''': Stop gawking at the decor, spawn. This place is dangerous.

(''After defeating [[Ketheric Thorm]]'')
(Watching Last Light Inn fallen into Shadow)
* '''Minthara''': Devoured by the darkness. They should have retreated while they had the chance.
* '''Astarion''': And yet here we stand. We're either very clever or very lucky.
* '''Minthara''': You do not need luck to survive, Astarion. Not when you have me.

(After the Fall of Ketheric)
* '''Minthara''': Did you expect to survive Myrkul's wrath, little spawn?
* '''Minthara''': Did you expect to survive Myrkul's wrath, little spawn?
* '''Astarion''': You'd be surprised, drow. I've survived a lot of things.

* '''Minthara''': Greater horrors await us in Baldur's Gate. Best sharpen your fangs.

{{SpoilerBox|act=3|nograd=1|unhide=1|
* '''Minthara''': Are you a better man now that you are loved, Astarion? Did they mend your ways?
* '''Astarion''': I rather think they did. Can't imagine anyone wanting to do that for you, though dear.
<hr>
<hr>
(At [[Wyrm's Rock Fortress]])
* '''Minthara''': Would you ever consider sharing the gift of immortality with me, Astarion?
* '''Astarion''': So many dark nooks and crannies - this fortress is a lurker's paradise.
* '''Astarion''': I think not. That is for me and my darling to share.
* '''Minthara''': Would you not prefer basking in the sun like a lizard now that it no longer blisters your pretty skin?
* '''Minthara''': If they have prevented your eyes and fangs from wandering to other necks, it must be a special bond indeed.
* '''Astarion''': Old habits die hard, darling. Surely you know that.
<hr>
* '''Astarion''': So, what's it like caring for someone other than yourself, Minthara?
* '''Minthara''': You have never tried it, I assume.
* '''Astarion''': Gods no. It sounds like a lot of work.
* '''Minthara''': It takes less work than you devote to maintaining your foppish facade. And it's far more rewarding.

(At [[Bonecloak's Basement]])
(At the Bonecloaks)
* '''Astarion''': No, this place feels all too 'Underdark'y for me.
* '''Astarion''': No, this place feels all too 'Underdark'y for me.
* '''Minthara''': You are speaking of my home, spawn. It is pleasant to be reminded of it.
* '''Minthara''': You are speaking of my home, spawn. It is pleasant to be reminded of it.
* '''Astarion''': Oh dear - you're not going to come over all pleasant and homely, are you?

(At [[Szarr Palace]])
(In Wyrm's Rock)

(In Cazador's Palace)
* '''Minthara''': Ominous, yet austere. This place has its charms.

* '''Astarion''': We're both learning a lot. Cazador kept this place all to himself.

(At ?)
(At the Morphic Pool)
* '''Minthara''': Our illithid warns us away from what lies beyond that gate, but perhaps it underestimates us.
* '''The Emperor''': You should listen to your illithid. It knows your weaknesses as well as it knows the brain's strengths.
* '''Astarion''': Care to share any of Minthara's weaknesses? Or would it take too long to go through them all?
* '''Minthara''': Watch your tongue, spawn. I need the illithid alive - you are expendable.
<hr>
(At [[Morphic Pool]])
* '''Astarion''': We're getting close. I do believe fate is shuffling the cards for the final deal.
* '''Astarion''': We're getting close. I do believe fate is shuffling the cards for the final deal.

(If Gale is romanced)

* '''Minthara''': You've been smiling like a fool of late, wizard. Explain yourself.

* '''Gale''': You're about to say something awful, aren't you?
* '''Gale''': So you admit you've found love! How delightful - I'm happy for you both.
* '''Minthara''': In Menzoberranzan, after a house has two sons, every subsequent male-born child is slaughtered at birth, as it is useless, even for breeding.
* '''Minthara''': You have the aura of a third child about you.

=== {{Banter|Karlach}} ===  
(If Minthara is romanced)
(At Abandoned Cistern in the [[Lower City Sewers]])
* '''Minthara''': This place is foul. Drow would not tolerate rivers of waste flowing so close to their residences.
* '''Karlach''': You've got slaves to manage your sanitation. Baldur's Gate doesn't. Though we do rely quite heavily on kobolds.
* '''Minthara''': But surely the kobolds are slaves?
* '''Karlach''': Hell no.
* '''Minthara''': Straj. Yet one more reason to despair for the fate of this city.

(Approaching [[The Lodge]])
(At [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]] Forest)
*'''Minthara''': The Society of Brilliance! These preposterous fools love to meddle in Underdark affairs - they are most amusing.
* '''Lae'zel''': Difficult terrain, cursed or not. Gith dragon-riders prefer flat land and open skies.
*'''Lae'zel''': Amusing? Wherein lies the humour?
* '''Minthara''': Ketheric's undead legions carve paths through the foliage when they pass. It grows back stronger though.
*'''Minthara''': They seek to promote peace between species through mutual understanding. Ha.
* '''Lae'zel''': A tedious labour well suited to the undead.
*'''Lae'zel''': Even my people know the value of carefully crafted coalition, Minthara. Is our own alliance not a case in point?
* '''Minthara''': Tedious labour does not only suit the dead. Plenty of surface-dwellers are suitable for little else.
<hr>
(''At [[Last Light Inn]], if it's protected'')
* '''Minthara''': These people seem soldiers by their bearing. What say you, Lae'zel?
* '''Lae'zel''': The enforcers of order - unmistakable in their vigilant bearing. So it goes across all the planes and their peoples.
* '''Minthara''': On this plane, the story always ends the same way. Order collapses, and shadows take the light.
<hr>
(At [[Mason's Guild]] Rebel Hideout)
* '''Minthara''': How curious. The shadow curse has not touched this place.
* '''Lae'zel''': And by the looks of it, its riches have gone unplundered.
* '''Minthara''': A faultless observation, Lae'zel. Are all githyanki so quick to come to the essential point?
<hr>
(At [[House of Healing]])
* '''Lae'zel''': A waste of space and resources. Gith triage methods obviate the need for such crude facilities.
* '''Minthara''': Tell me about these methods.
* '''Lae'zel''': A githyanki ghustil can summon Astral energy to heal most any wound.
* '''Lae'zel''': If a warrior's lacerations are beyond even their ability, the victim is beheaded.
* '''Minthara''': Efficient. We have much to learn from one another.
<hr>
(At [[House of Healing Morgue]])
* '''Lae'zel''': I have seen many a gruesome death, but even I can't fathom some of the horrors inflicted in this supposed 'House of Healing'.
* '''Minthara''': You're young, child. If you survive as long as I have, you will witness greater horrors than this.
* '''Lae'zel''': If you are fortunate, you may even inflict greater horrors in the name of your cause.
<hr>
(At [[Mind Flayer Colony]])
* '''Lae'zel''': A ghaik colony. Illithids are certainly the driving force behind this Absolute cult.
* '''Minthara''': The hierarchy of command is not yet clear, child. Can you be sure the illithids are in control?
* '''Lae'zel''': I know what I see - my mortal enemies. And I know what must be done about them.
<hr>
(At Basilisk Gate)
* '''Minthara''': There is no true authority in this city. The guards are more degenerate than the criminals.
* '''Lae'zel''': True warriors among the city's Flaming Fist seem exceedingly rare. The worst are mere rats scurrying about their warren.
* '''Minthara''': And what do we do with rats, Lae'zel? We hang them by the tails, and burn their warrens.
<hr>
(In the North Alleys)
* '''Lae'zel''': Ah - the smell of fresh blood spilled on stone. It reminds me of the tunnels within my home of K'liir.
* '''Minthara''': I would like to visit your home one day, Lae'zel. Where is K'liir?
* '''Lae'zel''': You may know it as Stardock. An asteroid, one of the Tears of Selûne. It's tunnels are home to all manner of creatures to hunt.
* '''Lae'zel''': Vicious, unrelenting. The sort of place I imagine you'd take to, Minthara.
<hr>
(At [[The Lodge]])
* '''Minthara''': The Society of Brilliance! These preposterous fools love to meddle in Underdark affairs - they are most amusing.

* '''Lae'zel''': Even my people know the value of a carefully crafted coalition, Minthara. Is our own alliance not a case in point?
<hr>
(At [[Guildhall]])
* '''Lae'zel''': Two sides, each itching to draw blades against the other.
* '''Minthara''': The sensation is contagious. Which should we oppose?
* '''Lae'zel''': Either or both, so long as I get to spill blood.
<hr>
(At [[Morphic Pool]])
* '''Minthara''': We drow are sensitive to psionic power. And this place throbs with mental power such as I have never known.
* '''Lae'zel''': It threatens all of us, gith and mud worlder alike. But even the brightest blaze can be extinguished.
* '''Minthara''': Extinguish it? I intend to seize it. Power exists to be wielded.
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Minthara; after act 2 romance scene'')
* '''Lae'zel''': Our leader is a fool for love, Minthara. I'd never be compelled to conduct such a poorly-planned jailbreak.
* '''Minthara''': They did not do it for love. They did it for my prowess in combat, as well as coitus. I excel in both.
* '''Lae'zel''': As do I. Sometimes the acts are not dissimilar.
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Minthara; after act 3 romance scene'')
* '''Lae'zel''': At what age do you think it is right to set a child upon mortal combat?
* '''Minthara''': The moment it can hold a blade. It may even test its resilience against some common poisons while it is still in the womb.
* '''Lae'zel''': Tsk'va. We do not wilfully risk our young until they are of thirteen years. No point wasting battle-flesh before it's primed.
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Lae'zel; after act 2 romance scene'')
* '''Minthara''': A few pointers, Lae'zel. I heard you and your lover locked in combat, but the test you set was not rigorous enough.
* '''Minthara''': Next time, tie them to the ground, and do not release them until you are both satisfied.
* '''Lae'zel''': Hmm. You have given me ideas...
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Lae'zel; after act 3 romance scene'')
* '''Minthara''': You fight harder than ever now that you have a lover to protect from harm, Lae'zel.
* '''Minthara''': The githyanki should encourage relations between their soldiers. It is a proven tactic for morale.
* '''Lae'zel''': We need no boon for morale - I fight well when there is kin at my side. And now, I count one more among them.

=== {{Banter|Shadowheart}} ===
(In [[Rivington]])
(''At [[Last Light Inn]], if it's cursed'')
* '''Minthara''': The excess of refugees outside the city walls could easily become a surplus of laborers.
* '''Shadowheart''': Gone. Swallowed up by the shadow curse.
* '''Minthara''': Not before time. They hoped to stand against Ketheric with little more than a trick of the light to protect them.
* '''Shadowheart''': Worse - they defied Lady Shar's power, openly. Now they have paid the price.
* '''Shadowheart''': They were desperate. Nobody deserves this.
<hr>
(At [[Reithwin Town]])
* '''Shadowheart''': This place was ruined rather thoroughly. I'm starting to forget what a habitable village looks like.
* '''Minthara''': Your Sharran kin are responsible for this ruin. They purged these lands even before the shadow curse, and pillaged all they could find.
(''If Shadowheart is still loyal to Shar'')
* '''Shadowheart''': No... this must have been due to the battle. Lady Shar's warriors would have little interet in looting...
* '''Minthara''': Come, Shadowheart. Do you think prayers alone can keep an army on the march?
* '''Shadowheart''': Even those devoted to loss fill their pockets and bellies when the chance arises.
(''If Shadowheart no longer loyal to Shar'')
* '''Shadowheart''': Not my kin - not any longer. Their past deeds are not my responsibility.
<hr>
(At [[Mind Flayer Colony]] Tadpoling Centre)
* '''Shadowheart''': Ugh. This place brings back unwelcome memories of a tadpole slipping behind my eye...
* '''Minthara''': Appalling. I am glad my memories of the infection are not so clear.
* '''Shadowheart''': Oh yes, I forgot - you had your love of the Absolute to mask the ugly parts.
* '''Minthara''': Do not call it love. It was poison.
<hr>
(At [[Rivington]])
* '''Minthara''': The excess of refugees outside the city walls could easily become a surplus of labourers.

* '''Minthara''': That was due to your insipid conversation, half-elf.
<hr>
(At [[Felogyr's Fireworks]])
* '''Minthara''': Amusing as it is to provide children with such lethal toys, surely there are better uses for this powder?
* '''Shadowheart''': Plenty. They can make for excellent distractions, should you need to make a quick exit.
* '''Shadowheart''': Partly why the Ducal Council controls supply - trying to keep the whizz-bangs out of nefarious hands.
* '''Minthara''': The Ducal Council must have sprung a leak, for we seem to find barrels of the stuff everywhere.

(At [[Sorcerous Sundries]])
