“Sorry, mom.”

“I’m in love with you.“

“The man has gone crazy.“

“I’m after treasure. That’s all.“

“Hold your tongue, commoner.”

“I’d really prefer to be in the car!”

“You and I will die here, together.“

“Time’s up. What is your answer?“

“We protected it, so it protects us.“

“What’s come over you, my dear?“

“Are you planning on fighting me?“

“Gotta start talkin’ like a real pirate.“

“Get out. Get out, or I’ll throw you out.“

“I really don’t know anything. Please…”

“Then why? Why don’t you just take it?“

“He said Mom was ugly, now go get him!”

“Leave it to my little idiots to start a riot…”

“You really are being very silly about this.“

“That tree’s gettin’ away with our treasure!“

“I thought you said you had a stomachache.“

“Run away before he kills you as well as me!”

“Tell me the spell. What are the secret words?“

“With our limited technology, we have no idea.“

“I’m not runnin’ a luxury cruise. Now get to work.“

“Oh, I’m sorry. Are you all right? Does it hurt much?“

“They offered you money, and you took it, didn’t you?“

“There’s nothing worse than having your pigtails shot off.“

“Stop with the cryin’, ya big baby. I’ll get you another ship.“

“How appropriate that we’ve ended up in the throne room.“

“You think I’m doing this for money? You understand NOTHING.“

“Hey, if my head was any harder, you could use it as a cannonball.“

“You see, a king without compassion does not deserve a kingdom.“

“Well, that’s kind of you. Will you hand me those plates over there?“

“This is no longer a throne room. This is a tomb… for the both of us.“

“With the way you fell from the sky, I thought you might be an angel or something.“

“Work, work, work. Busy, busy, busy, busy. Left, right, left, right. You’re not here to have fun.”

“YOU DID THIS ONTO ME, NOW I’M DOING THIS ONTO YOU,” he curses with a guttural voice that raises the hairs on the back of your neck. you notice he’s wrapped himself in beautiful blue skin as well as the rancid hide of decaying creatures from the twelfth dimensions, corners of reality you weren’t supposed to perceive, an abyss stuck between layers of reality. an abomination towers over you, his eyes a gateway to madness the longer you stare in awe as well as freezing dread. your brain cracks and all remaining sanity shatters, your mind is lost to the glitch of creation. all you remember is the wet sound of your spine snapping in half, before the dust of your essence is poured down a super massive black hole.
