Puniper: <Hmph... Didn't expect you to rescue the elder.>
Punio: <I told you we could!>

<Or that I trust those supposed allies of yours. Especially when it looks like you've got one of them with you.>
Flurrie: <Hmph. I'd have expected you to trust me at least.>
Maggie: <Yeah, but I caught her. She's not indicative of anything.>
Puniper: <Ha! A likely story.>
<And you didn't even rescue the other Punies so I'm not helping until you->
-The Elder suddenly chimes in-
Puni Elder: <You blockhead!>
<Deplorable! How DARE you talk like that, knowing what we're up against?>

Puni Elder: <Shut your trap, Puniper.>
<And you'll help Sherry here->
Kamdida: <It's Shirley.>
Maggie: <It's MAGGIE!>
Puni Elder: <Pipe down, you two! I'm lecturing someone!>
<Anyway, everyone, help Sherry, Gumbellow, Slap, and their friends and get us our tree back!>

<I'm not heartless or anything. I'm worried about the others too...>
<And you're right. We have no choice. We must fight, everyone, right?>
-The Punies make various statements of assent-
Puni Elder: <That's the spirit, my Punies.>
