"At a time like this, cut the drama. A little glass cut won't kill you, and it's better than going up in flames with the car."

Quintessa didn't care about the possibility of being cut by the glass. Seeing the flames leaping from the front of the car, she yelled, "No time for chit-chat, the car's on fire!"

Tyrone and Alexander each grabbed one of Quintessa's arms, and pulled her out with force.
