3* Nearly every idle chat between the Prince and Elika.
4* Early on you can initiate this exchange:
5--> '''Prince:''' So what's with your father?\
6'''Elika:''' So what's with your donkey?\
7'''Prince:''' Do you know how hard it is to find a good donkey? Good donkeys are hard to find!\
8'''Elika:''' [[BestialityIsDepraved I'm beginning to worry about you and your donkey]].
9* This conversation:
10-->'''Elika:''' Why are you doing this? [[TheDulcineaEffect You're not doing this for me, are you]]? [[MaleGaze I've seen you looking at me]]. [[AllMenArePerverts I recognize that look]].
11-->'''Prince:''' Hey, you're cute, but not "stay to fight a dark god'"cute.
12-->'''Elika:''' -disgusted sigh- Would you have helped my father if ''he'' had asked you?
13-->'''Prince:''' He's not that cute either!
14* The Prince and Elika size each other up early on:
15--> '''Prince:''' You're an attractive lady!\
16'''Elika:''' I've got a brain, too.\
17'''Prince:''' Pity you're wasting both.\
18'''Elika:''' And ''you're'' the one to lecture me on that?\
19'''Prince:''' I've got looks and brains then, do I?\
20'''Elika:''' One you rely on too much, the other you don't use at all.
21* The Prince muses on his CrashIntoHello:
22--> '''Prince:''' Girl falls from the sky... should have taken that as a sign. ''Nothing's'' ever ''that'' easy!\
23'''Elika:''' If it's any consolation I'm glad you were there to land on!
24* The Prince asking Elika for some unprompted exposition:
25--> '''Prince:''' Anything else you think you should be telling me?\
26'''Elika:''' You're an idiot.
27* Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer:
28--> '''Prince:''' Is this an average day for you?\
29'''Elika:''' Does it look like it?
30* The Prince has many funny quips [[ThinkingOutLoud he says entirely to himself]]:
31--> '''Prince:''' I'm not here! Someone else is here doing this crazy stuff!\
32'''Prince:''' Gold statues, gold coins, [[ShapedLikeItself gold GOLD]]...\
33'''Prince:''' This is more exercise than I was planning today.\
34'''Prince:''' "Settle down, find a girl, adventuring will kill you!" ...I think my mother was right.\
35'''Prince:''' Much more of this and I'll start talking to myself! ...no, no you won't. No I might, really!\
36'''Prince:''' Well they said I couldn't find my own ass in a sandstorm, and here I am proving them right.\
37'''Prince:''' -sniffs- I hope that smell isn't me! ...or ''you!''\
38'''Prince:''' This place is crazier than a boat shop in a desert town!\
39'''Prince:''' I was dreaming of a quiet life...!\
40'''Prince:''' Temple guards, pirates, crazed mobs, heh, those were the good times...\
41'''Prince:''' These trousers were new!\
42'''Prince:''' I am never gonna live this down...\
43'''Prince:''' Ormazd, Ahriman, Corruption, Corrupted... why couldn't I have fallen into a canyon full of lost Amazons?\
44'''Prince:''' I'm gonna have blisters on my ''blisters'' by the time we finish.\
45'''Prince:''' A bridge salesman could ''really'' clean up in this place!\
46'''Prince:''' Would you believe it? I've still got sand in my shoes! ...and ''worse'' places!\
47'''Prince:''' ''[[RunningGag Oh if I ever find that donkey...]]''
48* The Prince asking some information about Ahriman's soldiers:
49-->'''Prince:''' How many soldiers is "some"?\
50'''Elika:''' No-one knows. Some tales say Ahriman was sealed in the temple along with a thousand followers.\
51'''Prince:''' Let's hope they were off by several hundred.
52* Getting some information on the Alchemist:
53-->'''Elika:''' The Alchemist is able to take the Corruption and form it, shape it to his will.\
54'''Prince:''' There was a potter I know like that. The things she could do with her hands...
55* When climbing through the Cauldron:
56-->'''Elika:''' Quick, we have to cross over there!\
57'''Prince:''' Sure, climb on the roof. It's not like gravity ever killed anyone!
58* The Prince in City Gate after learning the evil god's powerful gifts to the Corrupted:
59-->'''Prince:''' You had to pick this religion? You couldn't have picked one where the all the evil creatures were...I don't know... slightly angry sheep?
60* The Prince tries to learn more about Elika:
61--> '''Prince:''' I wanna know more about the girl who got me into this mess.\
62'''Elika:''' Well then you'd better learn to speak donkey!
63* Elika trying to prove to the Prince she's more well-learned than he thinks:
64--> '''Prince:''' You don't act like your average princess.\
65'''Elika:''' And how do average princesses act?\
66'''Prince:''' All the money, none of the sense. Don't know which end of a donkey eats and which end-\
67'''Elika:''' I ''know'' which end of a donkey does what!
68* Elika finally realizes what the Prince is:
69-->'''Elika:''' And how did you get the gold?\
70'''Prince:''' I found it!\
71'''Elika:''' You found it? ...you're a thief!\
72'''Prince:''' [[InsistentTerminology I'm an adventurer]]!\
73...
74-->'''Elika:''' You robbed the dead!\
75'''Prince:''' Lot easier than robbing the living!
76* The Prince being a bad liar as always:
77-->'''Prince:''' Much more of this and I'm gonna wear this gauntlet out!\
78'''Elika:''' Where did you get that thing?\
79'''Prince:''' Oh you know, I... found it.
80* The Prince tries to get a favor out of Elika:
81--> '''Prince:''' Arh, I'm really starting to feel all this in my shoulders. You couldn't give me a backrub, could you?\
82'''Elika:''' [[MathematiciansAnswer That's right, I couldn't]]!
83* Sometimes, Elika also brings the snark:
84-->'''Prince:''' I like your top.\
85'''Elika:''' I think I have a spare if you'd like it.
86* Special mention goes to when the Prince interrupts their urgent quest to challenge Elika to a game of I Spy.
87--> '''Prince:''' Want to play a game? Come on! It'll be fun.\
88'''Elika:''' The world's about to end and you want to play a game?\
89'''Prince:''' Might as well die happy!\
90...
91--> '''Elika:''' Grass.\
92'''Prince:''' No.\
93'''Elika:''' Rock.\
94'''Prince:''' No.\
95'''Elika:''' This is a stupid game.\
96'''Prince:''' Want another go?\
97'''Elika:''' No. ({{Beat}})...[[NotSoAboveItAll Path]].\
98'''Prince:''' No.\
99'''Elika:''' This is impossible!\
100'''Prince:''' The game would be easier if we played by the rules!\
101'''Elika:''' There are rules?\
102'''Prince:''' I see something and tell you the first letter.\
103'''Elika:''' And why didn't you?\
104'''Prince:''' You didn't give me a chance!\
105...
106--> '''Prince:''' S.\
107'''Elika:''' Are you still playing that game?\
108'''Prince:''' S!\
109...
110--> '''Prince:''' C'mon, your turn.\
111'''Elika:''' For what? ...(''sighs'')...C.\
112'''Prince:''' Corruption.\
113'''Elika:''' Yes, can we go on?\
114...
115--> '''Prince:''' S.\
116'''Elika:''' Uh... sky again?\
117'''Prince:''' Now you're getting it.\
118'''Elika:''' You picked sky ''again''?\
119'''Prince:''' No, but you're getting a hang of the rules!\
120'''Elika:''' Ah, thanks, [[DeadpanSnarker they're so complex I was worried they might evade me.]]\
121...
122--> '''Prince:''' S.\
123'''Elika:''' Scar.\
124'''Prince:''' No.\
125'''Elika:''' Scarrrr-f?\
126'''Prince:''' No.\
127'''Elika:''' Shrine?\
128'''Prince:''' A-ha! ...No.\
129'''Elika:''' I give up.\
130'''Prince:''' It's too soon to give up!\
131'''Elika:''' ''I give up!''\
132'''Prince:''' Sssoulless follower of Ahriman!\
133'''Elika:''' I am ''amazed'' no one threw you overboard on your sea trips.
134* As they climb Ahriman's Tower, the Prince finds out just how sarcastic Elika can be if she wants to:
135-->'''Prince:''' Is this how you ran your city? You watched while other people worked?\
136'''Elika:''' [[SarcasmMode That's me, the bureaucratic voyeur]].\
137'''Prince:''' That was sarcasm, wasn't it?\
138...
139-->'''Prince:''' It's a good thing I'm here, otherwise what else would you have done?\
140'''Elika:''' Oh, I might have curled up into a corner and cried. I'm the pathetic useless type.\
141'''Prince:''' More sarcasm...\
142...
143-->'''Prince:''' This next bit looks tricky.\
144'''Elika:''' Worried you might break a nail?\
145'''Prince:''' There you go, now ''that's'' funny!
146* Halfway into solving a puzzle just to get up Ahriman's Tower:
147--> '''Prince''': When you rebuild this place, find a different architect.
148* And after healing Ahriman's Tower:
149-->'''Prince:''' Can I have my own tower? You know, with an inscription? Nothing too fancy, just "Tower of the Savior of the City of Light". Oh, and a few priestesses dedicated to its upkeep. [[UnusualEuphemism And mine]].
150* As they're climbing up the crumbling Tower of Ormazd:
151-->'''Prince:''' I hope your Ormazd does a good deal in afterlives!\
152'''Elika:''' Oh yes! Only the best wine, women, he might even throw in a donkey!\
153'''Prince:''' You're not going to let that go, are you?
154* When arriving in the Construction Yard, the Prince marvels at the Alchemist's floating balloons, while Elika insists that they must be destroyed due to the evil that created them. Later on they have to solve a rotating beam platform puzzle. Ask for hints enough and the Prince will say
155-->'''Prince:''' You were right, machinery is ''evil!''
156* Upon finding the only way down from Heaven's Stair is a vertical shaft:
157-->'''Prince:''' That's... a long drop... after you, princess.\
158'''Elika:''' Oh no, you're the guest here! After you.
159* The Prince once again complaining about the use of Power Plates:
160-->'''Prince:''' Have you guys ''never'' heard of stairs?
161* After driving the Hunter away in the Sun Temple:
162-->'''Prince:''' I hope that hurt!!\
163'''Elika:''' He can't hear you.\
164'''Prince:''' He can't? (''turns back'') And you're an ugly mother, too!! ...what?
165* The Prince, arriving at Martyr's Tower, lampshading the fact that their destination is, as always, the most inconvenient place.
166-->'''Prince:''' Nice tower. I'd say it's from the ominous and forbidding school of architecture. \
167'''Elika:''' The fertile ground is...\
168'''Prince:''' At the top of the tower. Well, they wouldn't put it on the ''ground'' floor, would they?
169* The Prince imitating the Hunter, which is an ugly monster after all.
170* Elika and the Prince:
171-->'''Prince:''' Don't worry, princess, you're more than good enough for both of us.\
172'''Elika:''' Wow. With you as a measuring stick, that really makes me a saint.\
173'''Prince:''' Hey, I've helped old ladies home from the market.\
174'''Elika:''' If they had attractive daughters.\
175'''Prince:''' Yeah. Then I helped them, too.
176* In the windmill:
177-->'''Prince:''' You know, I once thought about settling down, milling flour for a living...\
178'''Elika:''' Really?\
179'''Prince:''' Haha, are you kidding? How boring would that be?
180* The Prince asking for help with the windmill puzzle:
181-->'''Prince:''' Any more milling advice? What do I do to get a fluffy loaf?\
182'''Elika:''' Think one step ahead. You have to have the gear in position before you move them into the final place.\
183'''Prince:''' Yeah, otherwise the flour might come out to coarse. I mean if we get a lumpy loaf, we're ''doomed'', right?!\
184'''Elika:''' Just turn the crank...\
185'''Prince:''' This is probably why we haven't seen the Hunter. I can't see ''him'' figuring this out.
186* When trying to figure out how to line up plates in the windmill:
187-->'''Elika:''' Just be patient. Patience brings rewards.\
188'''Prince:''' So does walking into a harem covered in chocolate.
189* About to enter the Royal Gardens:
190-->'''Prince:''' How big ''is'' Ahriman?\
191'''Elika:''' He makes even your ego look small.\
192'''Prince:''' Ooh, then we'd better stop him from getting out!
193* After solving the first Royal Gardens sluice gate puzzle:
194-->'''Elika:''' We did it!\
195'''Prince:''' Did you really have to sound that surprised?
196* The Prince strikes a Concubine illusion in the Tower of Dreams:
197-->'''Concubine:''' Aaaaaaaaaaaaagh! ...only kidding, try again.
198* After climbing the Tower of Dreams, the Prince tries to convince Elika that he doesn't like the Concubine:
199-->'''Elika:''' And you don't find the Concubine attractive.\
200'''Prince:''' Well I don't! ... I really don't find the Concubine attractive.\
201'''Elika:''' And you think I need to know this... why?\
202'''Prince:''' ''Because'' you obviously don't believe me!\
203'''Elika:''' I just don't know why you're trying to convince me!\
204'''Prince:''' I mean why would I find her attractive...\
205'''Elika:''' I dunno!\
206'''Prince:''' She's made out of slime! ... ''and'' she's a lunatic!
207* Before climbing up the Royal Spire:
208-->'''Prince:''' I'll go first. But hey, no staring at my ass. I've felt you looking. \
209'''Elika:''' I thought you lost your ass?\
210'''Prince:''' Donkey.\
211(''And then Elika actually stares at his ass.'')\
212'''Prince:''' I can feel you looking!
213* After defeating the Concubine at the top of the Royal Spire:
214-->'''Concubine:''' You are such a disappointment...\
215'''Prince:''' What is she, my mother?
216* After the Prince figures out how to reveal the real Elika by jumping off the tower so she can rescue him:
217-->'''Elika:''' You lunatic...\
218'''Prince:''' I knew you'd save me!\
219'''Elika:''' What if I'd fallen unconscious again?\
