I am no teacher for the likes of you. Where do you think you are? I'd sooner die than help create a society where mutants and humans live together. We are Homo Superior. We are the next evolutionary step. And it is time we assumed our place in the world. It will begin with the end of humanity's reign. It's time for the extermination of a species.

Hilda: So if this was the way to break the spell, then doing all that stuff was just a waste of time. I didn't even need this freaky orb. Huh, it was right here.
Trylla: "Orb"?! [drops Erik, goes to the cave's entrance] Where are the bells that used to hang here?
Hilda: Oh, I took them down. Trundle said if I did, it would help him change me back.
Trylla: Those bells were put there a long time ago, for a very good reason. This cave is a prison cell... the prison cell of the Mountain King.
Hilda: What? That doesn't make any sense. Oh, hey. There's my orb.
Trundle: At last! [emerges from the cave]
Hilda: ...Trundle?
Trundle: Thank you for all your help, Hilda. It looks like we both got what we wanted.
Hilda: You... you liar! You tricked me!

Zogroth: The story of The Meep is a tragic tale. Their planet basked in the light of a living sun until one terrible day, the sun went mad.
Zreeg: A psychedelic sun...
Zogroth: Its radiation mutated all of Meepkind into cruel beasts who live for conquest.
The Doctor: The eyes, that's solar psychedelia!
Zogroth: It renders them as maniacs.
Zreeg: The Meep Army captured the Galactic Council, beheaded them and ate them. The Wrarth Warriors were summoned, and we fought across the stars a long and awful battle.
Zogroth: Meepkind died rather than surrender. And now only this one survives. Their leader - the most cruel and despicable of all.
The Meep: Meep meep!
The Doctor: Now, let's be fair. It's your turn, the Meep. Witness for the defence. So, what do you say?
(The Meep pulls out a gun and shoots Zogroth and Zreeg)
The Meep: NO STUN-GUNS FOR ME! JUST DIEEEE!!!!
Tenjuro Banno: This isn't good! Zein isn't just coming after us, it wants humanity to destroy itself!

Tiz: The Great Chasm's still here! What in the world is going on, Airy?
Airy: Oh, the Great Chasm mustn't shut. It's far too important.
Agnès: Airy…?
Agnès: But…you just said, “I finally did it.”
Airy: Ha ha! Ah ha ha ha ha!
Airy: You still have no idea? Talk about a ship of fools!
Airy: You've all been deceived! By yours truly, no less! I had you going the whole time!

It's taken years of meticulous planning and patience to reach this stage, but it was worth it. Who do you think supplied Los Muertos? Who do you think turned a blind eye to the Volk's activities? Who do you think was Shai-Gen's biggest supporter? Who do you think ran organized law enforcement, and ran it into the ground? The people had to experience absolute anarchy, before they would accept unconditional control. You are the portent of a New World Order, Agent. Pacific City was only the beginning.

Bravo, Kirby. You've truly earned your reputation as a hero. Your help defeating Landia was invaluable. Ah... At long last, it's mine! The source of limitless power... The Master Crown! Obtaining this crown has been my ultimate goal all along! What's with all the weird looks? Fine. Let me explain everything. I fought Landia by myself and lost. So I fled to Planet Popstar. That's when the thought struck me... I could have you defeat Landia for me! A stroke of genius, I know. You even helped me repair my Starcutter. I really did appreciate that, by the way. Anyway...MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The time has come for your planet... No! The time has come for the ENTIRE UNIVERSE to bow down to me. And for being such a big help in all of this, your planet gets to go first! Prepare to bow, Popstar! Welcome your new overlord!

Junpei: Ikutsuki-san, what're you tryin' to pull!?
Akihiko: You said the Dark Hour and Tartarus would disappear if we defeated the twelve Shadows. That's why we've been fighting this whole time! So why—
Mitsuru: What are you trying to accomplish? Destroying the Shadows, getting rid of the Dark Hour... It was all a lie, wasn't it? You've known since the beginning.
Ikutsuki: Excellent deduction, Kirijo-kun. Unfortunately, you're too little too late.
Yukari: No...
Ken: You tricked us!?
Ikutsuki: It's all going just as I planned. It's no accident that the Dark Hour and Tartarus continue to exist. I never intended for you to rid the world of them. Quite the opposite, in fact.
Fuuka: What do you mean?
Ikutsuki: The twelve Shadows were parts of a whole. They were destined to be reunited. And thanks to your diligence, that destiny has been fulfilled. Death, the almighty shall soon arise and bring forth the Fall.

Anne: Alright, big guy! Send us home!
King Andrias: In good time, my dear. But first, I'm gonna let you all in on a little secret. There was a time when Newtopia was truly great, but that greatness was stolen from us. Centuries of prosperity brought to an end because of me. I was weak, trusting those who said they were my friends. And because of that, the music box was taken under my watch. It cost us everything, and after a thousand years, no one even remembers our legacy. But now, at long last, the box is back. And with its power, Newtopia will be returned to glory!
Hop Pop: Oh, well that's nice!
Anne: Something's wrong here...
King Andrias: For you see, my ancestors weren't frail explorers. They were glorious conquerors!

Enjoying yourself in there, Starlight? I'm sorry I had to lock you in, but what else could I do? You were going to ruin all my plans. You might get some company soon, if I can't make that annoying Neighsay back off! (inhales, exhales) All this magic needs time to drain from Equestria before my vortex sucks it into another realm! (giggles) Three days can sure seem like forever, huh? You know, you ponies got it all wrong. Friendship isn't magic, friendship is power. With Twilight and her lackeys out of my way, all of Equestria will bow to me! The future Empress of Friendship! (crackles maniacally)

Buenamigo: Starfleet is so competitive. Once you're an admiral, you hit a wall. I've been trying for years to make a name for myself. I'm not letting you take it from me, not after everything I did to get us here!
Freeman: Everything you did?! Wait, that means—
Buenamigo: Yes, yes, I set you up. I was sure you'd fail at negotiations on Deep Space 9, but you stumbled through that fiasco!
Freeman: And the Breen?!
Buenamigo: Of course I knew they were on Brekka! I needed the Aledo to save the day, and you handed me a perfect disaster!
Freeman: My crew could've been killed!
Buenamigo: The Texas class will keep countless others out of danger. The good of the many, Carol!
Rutherford: Sir, you don't understand. The code you're using, its emotional processing isn't stable. You can't bring those ships online!
Freeman: You are not one of those bad-faith admirals that's up to no good. You're better than this, Les!
Buenamigo: I'm really not. You know, I'll-I'll say you attacked the Aledo out of anger when you lost the race. It... defended itself.

Navy Ruby: The only thing wrong is that you're still holding on! (laughs)
Steven: Wait, this whole time, all you wanted was your ship? You could've just stolen it to begin with!
