Beyond (Reprise)

"Well go beyond and we'll reach it side-by-side."

"We are rising with the tide."

"No shore left unexplored."

"Where we all begin again."

"Our sky and our horizon never end."

"We can rise. We will rise."

"Almost there. Just an easy little hop. Kinda."

"Hey, you wanted to come this time."

"There's gotta be other people out here. Other villages. And one day, someone's gonna answer."

"Never change."

"Whattya waiting for? Let's go home!"

"I just made it past the reef!"

"Race the chief to shore?"

"Aw. It's never much of a race."

"New fruit! You're gonna love it!"

"I don't love anything."

"Mmm. New look."

"New canoe. How'd she hold up? Lay it on me."

"It's called a hair whip. Learned it from those guys."

"So, how'd it go this time?"

"This isn't from our village. I don't even know what it's made of, but it's proof there are other people out there."

"That island. I think that's where they're gonna be."

"I just have to figure out how to find those stars."

"You were gone forever!"

"It was three days."

"What did you bring me?"

"You said you'd bring me a present."

"Where are we going?"

"This is a place of our ancestors. Where I learned our people are voyagers. Where gramma showed me who we are."

"Weeks? That's longer than forever!"

"If I hadn't gone, I never would've become a wayfinder like our ancient chiefs."

"Together what we can do, how far we can go...it's endless."

"Now that I'm a wayfinder, it's my job to continue what he started."

"This is my very first clue how."

"He's out demi-godding, but if he ever shows up, you grab him by the ear and you tell him that."

"I'm not here to cause trouble. Just a super-chiseled demigod passing through."

"Open the portal to the island and I'll be on my way."

"Why would I break the rules for you when you've already caused my boss so much trouble?"

"We weren't a team. I just used her."

"If you try to reconnect the people of the ocean, he will destroy you."

"This is between him and me. She has nothing to do with it."

"You made her a wayfinder, so now she has everything to do with it."

"Mystery island! Cool!"

"Long ago there was a title given to the last great wayfinder with dreams as big as yours, a sacred title. More than a chief, a Tautai."

"Would you honor us tonight by accepting this title?"

"Show us just how far we'll go."

"Tonight we drink from our ancestors bowl to bestow this title on you. To connect to our past, our present, and the future that lies beyond."

"May the ancestors continue to guide us."

"I am honored to serve our people."

"Where are my people?"

"This is your future if you cannot find others. In isolation, this is how your story ends."

"A fire in the sky will guide you."

"An ancient island where the channels of the ocean once came together, connecting the people of the entire sea. Until it was lost. Cursed."

"He believed he'd be stronger by separating the people of the ocean to weaken us, end our story."

"It's the only way to bring our people together again."

"A fire in the sky. He wants me to follow it."

"To new stars. It could take a lifetime."

"It's a call from the ancestors."

"If we never see her again...I..."

"What do you mean never see you again?"

"I don't want you to leave."

"For some changes, we never feel ready."

"Oh, what are you so worried about?"

"It's not like last time."

"last time you weren't old enough to understand all you could lose...or learn."

"I can't see where your story leads, but we never stop choosing who we are."

"This is bigger than us, so I will sail to this new sky to reconnect the people of the entire ocean. And then we will return together."

"Our people will rise if you let them."

"I'd like you on the crew."

"We should do better than this."

"I don't know where you are, but I could really use your help."

"You really need someone who knows all the old stories."

"I think I know someone else kinda like that."

"Get ready for some eyewitness accounts, people!"

"I'm coming with you."

"I'll be back as soon as I can. I promise."

"What if you don't come back?"

"The ocean is my friend. Our friend. It connects us. So there is nowhere I could ever go that I won't be with you."

"So you can take a piece from home."

"Might want to hold on."

"This is not the end of our story!"

"This is not where our destiny is denied! Together we rise as one! Together we take our freedom!"

"I don't need her to save me. Again."

"He hates humans even more than he hates me. And let me tell you something, he hates me a lot."

"I would let you out, but I'm really hoping to meet your little friend. I have plans for you both."

"Perfection's a myth. There is only failing, then learning, then death."

"That's why you're the wayfinder!"

"The entire ocean is kinda counting on us, so we gotta rise to the moment."

"We'll never make it if you don't embrace the ocean."

"I am unclear as to what you are doing."

"I don't do sing-alongs."

"Isn't that what we were supposed to follow?"

"Nobody panic. I'm sure this happened for a reason. Yeah. it's probably a good thing, right?"

"I kinda wasn't given a lot of directions other than follow the comet! So if you're telling me to change course, a little thumbs up would be super awesome!"

"Do I hear...people?"

"That's no island. And those aren't people."

"So they're just ignoring us. That's good...is that good?"

"Listen to me! We are on a sacred voyage!"

"They're asking if you drew it cause they want you to translate that picture."

"This whole time...they've just been trying to get home?"

"You are small but mighty."

"I think it's a warrior's salute. To show respect."

"And this is why you always have a backup!"

"This is what happens when you meet your heroes."

"Rule number one. You never saw me like this, even though I still look very cool."

"You look like someone who would know what that is."

"I feel like there's some backstory that I need to be caught up on."

"Scratch that. I don't wanna get attached if ya'll...which you guys won't! You're not gonna do that, I don't even know why I said that."

"The point is there's some serious god stuff going down, so Imma go handle my business."

"Be back in a bit. Until then, stay alive. Talk to no one."

"If ya see a crazy bat lady, run. She's the worst."

"Stay away or you will die. Be good!"

"Been a while since I've seen a wayfinder. Love the oar."

"Feisty. We have that in common."

"You think you can only get somewhere if you know the way?"

"Ugh, so much to learn."

"A true wayfinder doesn't know the path at all, that's the whole point. To find your way to what's never been found."

"If you wanna break the curse, you gotta stop playing it safe, sis. Get a little lost."

"Why would I listen to anything you say?"

"I want you to beat him. I want you to be free."

"There's always another way to get where you need to go. You just have to think a little different."

"That is terrible advice."

"There's always another way."

"Get lost."

"Portal of the gods. Won't get you all the way there, but it'll shorten the commute for you and your crew."

"Always has to make an entrance."

"Do not fear! You have been rescued!"

"I certainly did not keep you for the conversation."

"Could've told me we were doing new outfits."

"Hey, buddy, I missed you."

"Oh, sorry. That's weird. Was that weird?"

"This is the greatest day of my life!"

"Love this guy. Not creeping me out at all."

"You're all gonna die."

"A human can't reach it, so unless I break the curse, you just bought a one-way ticket to deadsville. Which is why I didn't want you coming out in the first place, cause now you're stuck and you're gonna die."

"Look! The constellation! It's right there!"

"The ancestors wouldn't have called if we couldn't do this."

"If he knows so much, how come he didn't tell you it was sunk?"

"He told me to follow the fire in the sky and that led me straight to you."

"If he thinks he's stronger by keeping people apart, then maybe the way to break his curse is by coming together!"

"The ocean cannot help you here."

"Humans, get to your positions. Work together and let's do this!"

"We really gotta talk about your recruiting process!"

"Hey! I am an elder!"

"Just gotta outrun 'em til sunrise."

"Did he just wink at us!?"

"It's a bad time to say I told ya so, so I'm not gonna do that cause that would make you feel worse."

"I believe in you. No one else does."

"What? I was being nice."

"Every time I think I know what I'm supposed to do everything changes."

"If I'm the reason our people's story just ends..."

"Is something...distracting you?"

"Maybe breaking the curse is like you said. We gotta work together."

"Look, I get it. No one likes sucking at their job."

"Why are you even here?'

"I've been low before, and I couldn't see a way forward. And then someone came along, someone who I underestimated, and she lifted me up."

"I haven't done anything right since I left my island."

"You are so bad at this."

"I was a human, but now I'm a demigod. You never know what's next."

"Go get 'em, princess."

"Still not a princess."

"A lot of people think you are."

"I know what I've asked of you is a lot..."

"We found a way to fix it...with a little help from our ancestors."

"He wants to end our story. But we're not letting that happen."

"We just have to outsmart him. Find some new tricks he's never seen before."

"We do have a demigod. Sure, he's a little scruffy, but you know, better than nothing."

"I think you look great."

"It'll be harder than anything we've faced before. So if anyone wants to stay..."

"I spent my whole life learning our people's stories. Because of you, I get to live one."

"Let's break a curse."

"Been a while since I pulled an island from the sea."

"He's growing on me. Like a wart."

"We do this. We make it home."

"It's a storm. Just a really big gone."

"I mean, it's kinda fun, right?"

"He doesn't care about you."

"It's humans he wants to stop. Us."

"You couldn't outmaneuver the storm before. How ya gonna do it now?"

"The curse won't be broken til we reach the island."

"You leveled up."

"I'm gonna need you to stop doing that."

"I like what you brought me."

"We may have brought a little more."

"I paid my debt. We are finished."

"Sorry, are we not doing evil laughs? Didn't realize!"

Welcome To Rosas

"Come this way, where the greatest creations are all on display."

"There's no other place just as full of surprise, where your dreams and your reality can collide."

"You wanna dance on beat?

"Hey, you've come to the right place."

"You can turn all your wanting to wishing. No what-if's and no wonders."

"It's unlikely that you'll be unhappy with so much to discover."

"A home for me. For you."

"I'm totally kidding! But he is powerful."

"He's just like us with a twist."

"There you have it, poof! There's your wish!"

"Did I mention when you turn eighteen you get to give your wish in a ceremony and he keeps them safe?"

"Once a month he grants someone's greatest desire."

"Does it hurt? Do you cry?"

"You won't even miss it when you say goodbye."

At All Costs

"If happiness was a tangible thing, it would be you."

"If you'd have told me the feeling you'd bring, I'd think it untrue."

"People search for a wonder like you all of their lives."

"You still amaze me after all this time."

"You pull me in like some kind of wind, mesmerized by the hold I'm in."

"I wanna promise as one does I will protect you at all costs."

"Keep you safe here in my arms."

"What's pain when I look at you?"

"No way I could explain you even if I tried to."

"I'll never dream like I used to do."

"If someone tried to hurt you, I don't see how that could happen, I'd fight for you in ways you can't imagine."

"I hope it would be alright to stay right here beside you."

"Promise as one does, I will protect you at all costs."

"If you're ever feeling like you're lost, I'll come find you."

"There's no ocean I won't swim across to be right by you."

"Here and now I swear on my response I'll remind you and promise as one does."

This Wish

"Isn't truth supposed to set you free? Well, why do I feel so weighed down by it."

"If I could show them everything I've seen, open their eyes to all the lies, then would they change their minds like I did?"

"When I speak they tell me sit down, but how can I when I've already started running?"

"This is where we've been, but it's not where we belong."

"I may be young, but I know I'm not wrong."

"So I look up to the stars to guide me, and throw caution to every warning sign."

"If knowing what it could be is what drives me then let me be the first to stand in line."

"So I make this wish to have something more for us than this."

"I never knew I needed room to grow."

"I did what I was told when someone told me no."

"I've got all of this freedom in my bones, but I've still got the lid on it so it doesn't overflow."

"I've got reservations and hesitations on where I should even begin."

"I'm past dipping my toes in but I'm not past diving in."

"If I could just be pointed in any given direction on where to go and what to do..."

"My legs are shaking, but my head's held high the way you always taught me to."

"I'm sure there will be challenges that find me, but I can take them on one at a time."

I'm A Star

"Have you ever wondered why you look up at the sky for answers?"

"What's passed down genetically to you? And to me?"

"You don't have to look too hard. We're here for all your question marks."

"If you're try'na figure out just who you are, don't look far."

"In your heart and in your scars."

"If you really wanna know just who you are? You're a star."

"Boom! Did we just blow your mind?"

"I've known the entire time."

"When it comes to the universe, we're all shareholders. Get that through your system."

"We were all just little nebulae in a nursery."

"From supernovas now we've grown into our history."

"We're taking why's right out of mystery."

"Now we're takin gin all the star exposure!"

"You still look like you're hangin' on by a strand."

"So your dust is my dust?"

"Do you know you're a work of art even in the deepest dark?"

"Here's a little fun allegory that gets me excitatory."

"This might sink in in the morning."

"We are our own origin story."

"No mater where you end or start, we're all each other's counterparts."

"Watch out world here I are."

"You know who's looking sharp?"

This is the Thanks I Get?!

"I can't help it if mirrors love my face. It's genetics."

"I got these genes from outer space."

"Peep the name. I'm magnificent."

"I put the i in omnipotent."

"I'm passionate. I'm not petulant."

"Someone praise me for my benevolence!"

"I let you live here for free, and I don't even charge you rent."

"I clean up all your messes, and I'm always there when you need to vent."

"I give and give and give and give. You'd think they'd all be content."

"All I really want is just a little respect! And this is the thanks I get?"

"This is the thanks I get?"

"You're so brilliant. Oh, that's the least you could say."

"There's more, I admit it. You're cute and strong and bold and brave."

"See this kingdom? I built it up."

"And still you complain? Ungrateful much."

"Are you sure that you're not the prob?"

"I'd love to see you try and do my job."

"I granted fourteen wishes last year. Come on, that's a high percent."

"And now you're questioning your king?"

"You know I always got your back since the day you were born and the day that we met?"

"I didn't wanna do this. I swore I'd never do this."

"I'm hypnotized by how these pages flip."

"I refuse to have my power stripped."

"A potion, a spell, a summon, a curse. Anything to make that light reverse."

"To this book I don't wanna be tethered, but desperate times call for desperate measures."

"There's a traitor in this town, and still I remain unbent."

"Come out now, explain yourself. I'm sure it's all just an accident."

"Whoever finds them first, now that's a wish well spent."

"Honestly, keeping you safe should be worth every cent."

Knowing What I Know Now

"You've been deceived. He is not the man he claims to be."

"He's more vicious than I could have ever comprehended."

"This is not what I expected or intended, but now that it's happened I don't regret it."

"I've seen him show his true colors in shades of green, saying that your wishes aren't safe because of me. And that's a lie."

"I know I can't do this on my own."

"If it's not us, then who and when?"

"If we don't fight he knows he wins."

"The length's he'll go, there's no amount."

"I won't sit back, watch this play out."

"That's my vow knowing what I know now."

"I don't think he's prepared for what's coming. A revolution."

"If here's one thing he can't keep down, it's us and the strength we've found. It's too loud."

"Who knows if we'll succeed, but we won't stop and we won't retreat or turn around knowing what we known now."

"Can he tell what we're becoming?"

"Hear it in the way we're drumming."

"I was sweet, but now I'm something else."

"Ain't it nice of us to drop in to take what's ours?"

"He thinks we're nothing, but we're something else."

"I've seen too many bad things that I can't keep count."

"He loves one thing more than himself. His crown."

"The good in him I've watched it melt."

"I was fooled by the love I felt."

This Wish (Reprise)

"I look out at the stars just like me, and I'm begging you to see this as a sign."

"I know that if you choose to stand beside me, we'll be greater than all his magic combined."

"I make this wish to have something more for us than this."

"We've had generations of expectations wondering why, wondering when."

"We're past dipping our toes in. We know it's do or die, it's sink or swim."

"We were all confusing your promises for protection, but we know what we've gotta do."

"Hope unchanging with our wish held high."

"What we do in this moment is defining, and we can take it on if we ally."

A Wish Worth Making

"Take it from someone like me when your hopes are in despair, if your hopes have strings, free them. Give them some air."

"Any wish that's got your heart on the edge of breaking is a wish worth making."

"Everybody dreams to be something someday somewhere."

"Even kings and queens daydream to be free from their royal chairs."

"Any dream that's got your heart even when you're not sleeping is a dream worth dreaming."

"We all start as wildlings playing in the sun, then we grow up with wild dreams just waiting for our day to come."

"If hope schemes against time, tell them be nice play fair."

"They may kick and cry, yeah, but just show them they're better when paired."

"Once upon a time there was a young man who believed there was nothing more important than a wish."

"Not just any wish, of course. The one that drives your heart. The one that makes you who you are."

"He also understood just how impossible it can be to make that wish come true, how easily dreams can be destroyed."

"He studied the magic of the world tirelessly, and became a mighty sorcerer able to protect from harm or ill will."

"The sorcerer didn't know if the world would want his gift."

"There they built a kingdom like no other, where anyone, any family, no matter where they came from were welcome."

"Can this boat go any faster?"

"Everyone agrees there is no one more deserving than my grandfather."

"That's it? Now you're done talking?"

"If only we could understand you!"

"The king has called a wish ceremony today!"

"It can't be a coincidence the king is calling a wish ceremony on your birthday."

"Tonight's your night. I can feel it."

"Why'd you say it like that? What are you up to?"

"What makes you think that I'm up to something?"

"I know your pauses."

"I'm maturing. My pauses are changing."

"Can't talk now. I'm gonna be late."

"I'll see you at the wish ceremony."

"I've got a good feeling about it!"

"Just one second. Let me catch my breath."

"My interview is in one hour, and I'm so nervous. I think I'm going to explode."

"Interview. What interview?"

"You mean the interview with our velvety sweet buttercream of a king."

"Oh, please. Don't say it like that."

"I have forgotten how to talk. I have no words."

"Is my mouth drooping? I feel like it's drooping."

"Quick! Ask me an interview question!"

"What's your weakness?"

"You care too much."

"Wait. Is that a weakness?"

"Cookies. Give me the cookies."

"Life is so unfair."

"We'll be here for you when you fail."

"Not that I blame you for trying to cheat the system."

"What? I'm not trying to cheat at anything."

"Everyone knows the racket. The kings apprentices get their wishes granted, and usually their families wishes too."

"Don't worry. You're still you, and I bet you'll get your wish granted really soon."

"The king is ready for you."

"Just don't touch anything."

"Don't forget to curtsy. And tell him I love him."

"Bye. Don't get your hopes up."

"The apprentice should always keep the fire going, because the king likes his tea hot."

"He also likes to talk. Quite a bit. Feel free to just listen."

"Some items might seem strange, but why a sorcerer needs what a sorcerer needs is not your concern."

"Above all, do not expect to see the wishes. Don't even ask."

"I'm rooting for you."

"I see the way you look out for others. It's clear how much you love this kingdom and its people."

"That kind of generosity has always been the true essence of this place."

"Are you ready to meet the king?"

"That book is forbidden."

"I put a spell on the glass."

"I just thought the etchings were pretty."

"The book is dangerous."

"A king must be prepared for everything."

"I understand if you want me to leave and never show my face again."

"Go ahead. Tell me why you think you should be my apprentice."

"It's my weakness. Figured I might as well get through all the bad stuff right up front."

"I'm a quick learner and a hard worker, and I help well. And I'm young so I'm malleable, but not too young so that I'm too malleable."

"Do we call that a talent?"

"It's just something my father taught me."

"I think I remember your father."

"Always talking about the stars."

"The stars are there to guide us, to inspire us, to remind us to believe in possibility."

"Even when he was sick, he'd take me out at night to dream. All I dreamed about was him getting better."

"How old were you when he passed?"

"When I was young, I too suffered great loss."

"Our lands were destroyed by selfish, greedy thieves. If only I'd known magic then."

"I founded this kingdom so there would be a place where everyone is safe."

"No one should ever have to see their dreams destroyed before their eyes."

"No one should have to live their life feeling the pain of that loss every day."

"That's why I do what I do."

"That's why I want to work for you."

"You're one of the few I have ever invited in here, but if I'm to trust you, I need to know you understand just how important they are."

"You can feel them already, can't you?"

"I'm sorry. I don't know why I said that."

"I didn't expect them to be so alive."

"People think wishes are just ideas, but no. No. They are a part of your heart. The very best part."

"I would love to see someone wish to be the best apprentice a mighty sorcerer has ever had. What do you say?"

"Would you maybe consider granting his wish tonight?"

"That was fast, wasn't it? You know most people wait a few months, even a year, before they start asking me for things."

"It is a beautiful wish. Beautiful. But unfortunately, it's too dangerous."

"Great wish, but too vague."

"You're young. You don't know anything, really."

So most of these wishes will never be granted?"

"I still protect them like all the others."

"The wishes you're not going to grant. You could just give them back."

"People come here because they know they can't make their own dreams come true."

"They give their wishes to me, willingly, and I make it so they forget their worries."

"You make it so they forget the most beautiful part of themselves."

"I decide what everyone deserves!"

"Another beautiful night in my kingdom. So good to see you."

"Good to be seen."

"Now make a wish and hold it in your heart."

"It's a real weight off, isn't it? Forget without regret."

"Grant my wish! Over here!"

"I have been challenged today to take a chance and try something new."

"It is with clarity and an open heart full of love, that I grant today's wish to someone who has very patiently waited long enough."

"I mean it when I say it truly is my great pleasure to grant your heart's desire to sew the most beautiful dresses in all the land."

"He's waited so long."

"See? Never get your hopes up."

"I will not be offering you the position as my apprentice."

"We should be looking at the bright side."

"You got to the final few being considered for the most prestigious position in the kingdom."

"There's always next time."

"I don't think your wish will ever be granted."

"The king told me so."

"My wish is dangerous?"

"What gives him the right to decide?"

"He is the king and he has made everything possible for us."

"If you had seen them, if you had felt them like I did, you would understand."

"There are so many wonderous, powerful wishes that will never be granted just floating there. Helpless."

"I can't just sit here with you, knowing your incredible wish, and not tell you."

"Why would you want me to know a wish that can never be?"

"Are you trying to break my heart, child?"

"You spoil us with your magic."

"Whatever that was, it was marvelous."

"Is it some sort of warning?"

"I believe I have just been threatened."

"You felt it too, didn't you?"

"It was joy and hope and possibility and wonder inside the most loving light."

"Can light be loving?"

"You kind of look like a star."

""It didn't work. When does the magic happen?"

"Who knew my voice would be this low?"

"Magic is chewy. Sparkly and spicy."

"I have a few thousand questions starting with how did I manage to connect with a star all the way across the sky and ending with how is any of this possible?"

"To all your questions, there is one very simple answer."

"We're no different, you and me."

""I've never felt so connected. We should do this more often."

"It's a shame we don't get along better."

"My father said that we were connected to the stars."

"Wait, do you grant wishes?"

"I just want their wishes to have a chance."

"If we take them, isn't that stealing?"

"They don't belong to him, do they?"

"Who could have commanded it?"

"I don't know who we're dealing with and these books are useless!"

"Do not tell me to breathe!"

"Everything I do is to make sure that never happens again."

"When you're threatened, you do not breathe. You focus."

"To summon such light would demand a spell so powerful..."

"Forbidden magic is not the way."

"A king must be prepared to do anything to protect his kingdom."

"First, you must protect yourself."

"You command great magic, but with this book, I fear it commanding you."

"If you want answers about the light, I suggest you look to your people."

"They would do anything for you."

"You're right. I am a handsome king."

"Can you stop squiggling, please? You're drawing attention."

"There has to be a way to sneak into the kings study without anyone seeing you."

"Star may alarm the masses."

"That light last night was amazing."

"It was probably a curse."

"No! This batch is for the king!"

"I really have to watch where I'm going."

"How do the kitchens get food up to the king?"

"The formal servers bring his meals to the dining room?"

"His study is off-limits. Details are known to only a select few."

"If you know a secret way into the kings study, you have to tell me."

"All that sneezing. That can't be good for you."

"Something's up with you. What are you hiding?"

"Life is to be lived!"

"Last night, after everything happened, I made a wish on a star. And the star answered."

"Your wings can't fly, but your voices can."

"What? Why am I making you sad?"

"He's already given his wish to the king."

"I can't remember what I lost."

"Am I the only one who realizes this is gonna end very badly?"

"Magic is forbidden by anyone other than the king, who is also the only one authorized to grant wishes."

"Like a fairy godmother."

"Life is not a fairytale."

"What did you wish for?"

"Don't tell us. I want no part of this."

"That's the kings call to assemble."

"I promise my wish won't harm or affect any of you."

"That's a big promise, but we trust you."

"Where did she go? How does she do that?"

"Yesterday I kind of challenged the king."

"What would you do if you found out the wishes of those you love with all your heart will never be granted?"

"I'm here to get their wishes so I can give them back to them."

"You're here to steal from the king."

"Please and thank you, best friend ever?"

"How am I supposed to stall a king?"

"I'm sorry, that was right in your ear."

"I can't believe that light last night."

"I know you are all wondering about that little light last night. A light I did not command or condone."

"It was magic, quite clumsy and amateurish. It was also completely forbidden."

"There is a traitor amongst us who defied the law."

"They used magic to put you all at risk, but don't worry. They are not match for me."

"You are awfully slow at this."

"Adventure awaits right outside this door!"

"Any information would be most helpful. And I know you will never, ever let me down."

"You said any information would be helpful, but pragmatically speaking, what qualifies?"

"Any information about who or what caused the light would be helpful."

"You said it was amateur magic, but how come? Don't you know how they did it?"

"Perhaps you could define amateur."

"This is about what you know. It is about your safety and most importantly, the safety of your wishes."

"Do you mean our wishes aren't safe?"

"Hope he didn't need those."

"I'm glad you are having fun, but you have to focus."

"How do we know our wishes are safe?"

"Why can't we see them? Why is that a rule?"

"Since we're asking, what if we want to change our wish?"

"Wishes can change."

"Wishes, wishes, wishes. Is that all you can think about?"

"Whoever identifies the traitor, your wish will be granted!"

"Anyone who helps the traitor, anyone who lets me down, your wish will never be granted."

"How brazenly they question me!"

"They only question you because you make them feel safe enough to do so."

"Disturb me with nothing but good news."

"I have just the place for us to work."

"I believe the greater the challenge we are willing to face, the greater the life we live."

"I know you said you didn't want to know a wish that could never be, but now you can make it be."

"I know you think you're doing a good thing."

"This belongs to me."

"I may never actually inspire anybody, but now at least I have the chance to try."

"I'm going back for your wish next."

"That's right. You've been turned in."

"Where is it? Where is the star?"

"How did you do it, huh? What sorcery did you use?"

"I know no sorcery."

"You ripped a star from the sky and used it to steal from me."

"The wishes don't belong to you."

"I told you, I decide what they deserve."

"Please, your majesty, she made a mistake. She won't do it again."

"Your wish that you gave to me for safekeeping, because we all know what happens to wishes out in this real world."

"All this time, I've protected the wishes not knowing the power they yield. I feel as if I can do anything."

"If anyone asks, play dumb."

"My heart knows this feeling. This is grief."

"I was foolish to think I could change anything. I should never have wished."

"My wish has ruined everything for my family."

"Your father's heart would break for what we now know."

"I know what you're thinking, because I'm thinking it too."

"When you get to the islet, stay hidden from view."

"I have to stop him."

"I started this, I have to finish it. For everyone."

"To harness a star, a staff. A staff of such power, even the night will bow to my command."

"Molten iron for strength, copper for a strike."

"Most importantly, the power cast from the innocent hearts of three."

"You dared to question m e, and all that I do for you. You don't deserve to be granted."

"Through me, you may serve a greater purpose."

"Come! You're just in time to meet my new toy!"

"Now that is power! Am I glowing? I feel as if I am."

"How could you? You know the way so forbidden magic are..."

"She pulled a star from the sky to destroy everything I've built."

"She only wanted her families wishes back."

"Do you side with the traitor?"

"You know I would never side with a traitor."

"I have believed in you from the moment we met. We built this kingdom together. There is nothing more important than that."

"You know, all of this is just a bump in the road. A gigantically, humungous bump."

"They say her family's gone missing. I bet she killed them."

"The queen looks scared."

"Tell me, I was surprised as you all."

"Be proud! Show your joy!"

"The love part was my idea."

"Are you ready to see your wish? To be the kings most valiant, courageous, and loyal knight!"

"It is my great pleasure to grant you your hearts desire."

"Find them so they may pay for their betrayal."

"Find me that star so I will have the power to grant all your wishes."

"So this is where you go when you sneak off, huh?"

"Introverts deserve sanctuary."

"Please say you didn't destroy those people's wishes?"

"The king was acting awfully, awfully awful."

"He wants to take all of your energy for himself."

"If anyone's leaving, it's gonna be you."

"Does that mean you have a plan?"

"So much for true love."

"Shall we gather the citizens so they can see you capture her?"

"Through the heart, we understand the world."

"As my mother always said if someone falls, leave them."

"You can come back cause I hate heights."

"This reads like a recipe book for the foul and the savage."

"Look for anything on how to break his staff, bind his magic, or at the very least break the hold it has on him."

"No metal can break his staff."

"No spell can bind his magic."

"Embrace forbidden magic just one, and you commit to it for eternity."

"My will is strong."

"You really think you can take me?"

"It's not just me you should be afraid of."

"What can I say? I really, really don't like being betrayed."

"It is you who betrays your people!"

"Your little trick didn't work. I still got what I wanted."

"How's the whole taking your wish into your own hands working out for you?"

"I win! Wishes really do come true!"

"There will be no wishing on stars ever again! In fact, there will be no more hope, no more dreams, and no escape."

"No chance to rise up."

"No one to tell any tales."

"No one to challenge me ever again. You. Are. Nothing!"

"My wish. it's beautiful."

"I'm going to make it happen."

"I can't wait to get started."

"What do you have to say for yourself?"

"I don't expect you to forgive me. I was just so scared I'd have to live without...well...all of me."

"I wanted so badly to believe in him."

"Never trust a handsome face. That's why I hang out with you guys."

"Thanks goodness! Do you see what they've done to me?"

"This is not funny. Get me out of here at once."

"I hear you long to fly."

"This is more than I could have ever dreamed possible."

"Be our fairy godmother."

"You're going soon, aren't you?"

"Welcome explorers."

"Believing the key to their future lies beyond these mountains, many have tried to get past them. All have failed."

"Who's this by his side? Why, it's none other than his bouncing baby boy."

"Together these two are destined to finally find a route through these impassable peaks. No matter the cost."

"The path to the other side of the mountains is through this cave. How are you holding up?"

"Pretty sure all my toes are frozen off, so at least they don't hurt anymore."

"As I always say, exploration is snow joke."

"This is exactly what we need."

"Another close call, eh?"

"They'll be telling our story for generations to come."

"What about these plants? There's literally power surging through them."

"I do love your inquisitive spirit, but our crew didn't come all this way just to get distracted."

"The crew has been training since they were a baby to do one thing."

"That one thing is to talk with me beyond that horizon."

"Did you ever bother to even ask the crew if that's what they really wanted?"

"They're not really talking about the crew, are they?"

"We're explorers, not gardeners. Conquering those mountains is our legacy."

"Enough. You're my son."

"We don't actually know what's past the mountains."

"You'll need this to find your way home."

"You can't survive out there alone."

"Ugh, I enjoy our little talks."

"It looks like after a week of downpours, we finally have a beautiful, sunny day ahead of us."

"Ew. This is the first image that has to be imprinted on my brain this morning?"

"Does this bother you?"

"What is a weed other than a plant growing somewhere that you find inconvenient?"

"I appreciate how clever you are."

"You see? So clever."

"Yeah, yeah. Boundaries. Got it."

"I knew I should've camped out."

"Don't worry. We didn't forget about you."

"I didn't see you there. Not that you're not noticeable."

"I knew you had to work this morning so I made sure we grabbed you a pack."

"We have allotted three to five minutes of cute flirtation."

"I hear the new creatures are steep."

"Isn't your grandpa, like, a famous explorer? Maybe it's in your blood."

"He kinda looks like you. Except for that."

"He talks about you all the time. Not all the time. Maybe sometimes or on occasion."

"Apologies that my dad is so dad."

"I see why you like him."

"I remember my first crush."

"What is happening to my life?"

"You know, he's gonna grow up to be just like me."

"I bet your dad would be really proud of everything you've accomplished."

"You clearly don't know anything about your grandpa."

"He's my grandfather. I want to know about him. From you."

"To me, he was just a really bad dad."

"He didn't care about me. He only cared about conquering those mountains."

"I guess that's what makes you a pretty good dad."

"I opened my mouth and no words came out."

"I heard you. You said I'm a really good dad."

"My son thinks I'm an amazing dad!"

"What kind of airship is that?"

"I've never seen anything like it."

"She used to work with my dad."

"Oh, your dad must be so proud."

"I can tell my pilot to move it. It's not a big deal."

"Nothing can fly that high. Well, not yet anyways."

"I don't go on expeditions. I'm not my father."

"He didn't come back, you did. And you brought back a miracle."

"Look at how they glow out there. It's like a heartbeat, isn't it?"

"Most importantly it showed us our future wasn't out there somewhere, but here."

"You and I, we have an obligation to save it."

"When do we head out?"

"Whoa, whoa. Hold up. You're not coming with me."

"I will not risk your life. Not now, not ever."

"I'm a huge fan of your dad. Do you think you could forge his autograph?"

"We got no idea what's down there. If you wanna back out, I could drop you off."

"I'm just messing with you! Look at your face!"

"We need you to figure this out, otherwise we're doomed."

"Can you please earn your paycheck and fly us down?"

"Whatever it is, it knows your name."

"I've been trying to flag you down for the last four hours. Our son is on your ship."

"Head inside. I got this."

"Hey, razor face. Yeah, come and get me."

"Brace yourself."

"Did you have any idea all of this was down here?"

"We are definitely off the map now."

"We have no idea what that is. Get that out of your mouth."

"Let's get back to our family."

"I'm a human being from the top world."

"You probably don't understand a word I'm saying, do you?"

"Of course I understand you. What do you think I am, one of those mindless monsters?"

"We are clearly in uncharted territory. I know you're all feeling scared, I am too. But the mission remains the same."

"What about my dad? Shouldn't we be saving him first?"

"You can't just leave him out there."

"No one's leaving anyone."

"I know you're worried about your dad, but I've seen him out in the field firsthand. He knows how to survive."

"Fixing this ship is the priority."

"Babe, we have no idea what's out there."

"Why don't you go hang out in the cockpit while I help them with repairs?"

"I promise you, we're gonna save your dad."

"I'm gonna hold you to that promise."

"We're gonna have the best time. You like board games, right? We have the best games."

"You're not my son."

"You're probably just some oddly shaped rock that my eyes want to believe is a person."

"I am not an oddly-shaped rock."

"That's exactly what an oddly-shaped rock would say."

"Would an oddly shaped rock know that you gave me a machete for my birthday?"

"I'm real, Dad. It's really me."

"Well, let's get moving. We've got no time to lose."

"Will you get that off your head?"

"It's not pretty, but it'll get us back airborne."

"The three things I love the most are my family, my farm, and flying."

"Remember how I was given the crucial responsibility of watching your son?"

"Is he giving you trouble? Just send him back to me."

"I gotta get me one of these."

"A vast undiscovered wilderness filled with fantastic creatures. This is just like Primal Outpost."

"You can do it. Just be brave. It's in your blood."

"This is so weird, but also kinda cool."

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm friendly, see?"

"See? We're all friends."

"Okay, yeah, I guess I deserved that."

"Hey, that's my dad's. Where'd you get that?"

"Can you bring me to him?"

"I'm so lucky I ran into you."

"By the way, you're not dangerous, right? I mean, you don't look dangerous."

"I have so many questions. Like, for one, what is this place?"

"Funny little goobers, aren't they?"

"Every time I blaze a trail, they un-blaze it."

"How did you even end up down here?"

"After months of battling the elements, I figured there was no way anyone could ever survive walking over those cold, deadly peaks. So I went searching for a new path."

"It occurred to me, instead of going over those mountains, I'll go under them. Even if I had to fight every monster down here."

"Nothing was going to stop me from fulfilling my destiny."

"You literally discovered a world beneath our world, and that's not enough?"

"This discovery may be fine for some second-class explorers, but not for us."

"Your mom has a lot of explaining to do."

"She's gone, Dad."

"Dead? No, she's not dead."

"Twenty five years. We thought you were dead for twenty-five years. What did you think was gonna happen?"

"I've always hated him. I hate his name, and I'll probably hate his face."

"This place is so crazy."

"Who knew that this was all down here?"

"You know this was down here because you're from here, but it's not like this up top."

"These colors are so trippy."

"Wait, are you offended? I can't tell."

"You know what? I'll just follow you."

"Climbing isn't really part of my day-to-day."

"You just forgot everything I taught you?"

"Scoff all you want."

"Bet they even give me a statue in the town square."

"You already have a statue."

"You have a statue? What, do they just give statues to everybody these days?"

"So much for the whole humble farmer bit, huh?"

"Maybe you're more like me than you want to admit."

"I am nothing like you."

"There's someone else out there."

"They only got one job, to lure you to your death."

"Hey, we're still looking for my dad, right?"

"Here, it's okay. I can help you with that. Let me see."

"You can trust me."

"Are these friends of yours?"

"I don't see my dad anywhere."

"Whoa! What are these things?"

"They're not gonna eat us, right?"

"Come on! Stop embarrassing me out here!"

"He just saved my life."

"You know, I was a part of that rescue too."

"He just saved your life."

"You ain't seen nothing yet, kid."

"Can you not show off while we are running for our lives?"

"Calm down. The kid's alright."

"How are you my dad?"

"Oh, you want to have that conversation?"

"Don't you mom me!"

"Once we get home, your butt is grounded for life."

"Okay. So. They're smarter than they look."

"Oh, I'm so glad you're safe. You had me so worried."

"It's so cute. I wanna merchandise it."

"Other side of the mountains, here I come."

"That's not what we're here to do."

"You know what I find boring?"

"As we can all see, we are on a clock, but after we do that, there's nothing stopping us from continuing on to the other side of the mountains."

"Sound like a fair deal?"

"Care to do the honors?"

"I guess this makes us official."

"Just don't make me look bad in front of my family."

"Seemed pretty harmless to me."

"So, you're my grandson, huh?"

"That's the rumor."

"Tell me about yourself. What are you into?"

"Any sweethearts waiting for you back home, huh?"

"I really like him a lot. I just don't know how to tell him, because I just get this. I always get so this."

"Let your grandpa give you come solid advice. If you really, really want to impress this fella, this is what you do."

"All that sounds like a really toxic way to start a relationship. Not to mention crazy dangerous."

"We love danger! Go ahead, give it a try."

"Maybe a flamethrower isn't his thing."

"I appreciate your appreciation, but maybe we let the kid decide."

"I appreciate your appreciation, but maybe you'll appreciate me a little bit more and respect my wishes, please."

"Maybe you should step out of my air."

"I don't think we have the luxury of playing games."

"Can someone trade me a weapon?"

"Are you ready to deal with a demon spider?"

"The demon spider was the only thing keeping the murder locusts from destroying all your resources. Congrats, you're dead."

"The objective isn't to kill or destroy monsters. You're just supposed to build a working civilization utilizing the environment around you."

"Yeah, I don't get this game."

"Can we conquer the monsters and use them as a weapon?"

"Monsters aren't weapons."

"Check out my new weapon."

"What kind of game has no bad guys?"

"You know what? You want bad guys? Fine. You two are the bad guys."

"Teenagers, right?"

"Can you go be dramatic somewhere else?"

"You all have eyeballs, right? We're all seeing the same thing, yeah?"

"That's acid. No one can fly through that."

"This is gonna be awesome."

"Whew! So glad we're not dead!"

"Get off my ship."

"You don't happen to have another one of these, do you?"

"it's okay. I got a better weapon."

"Who taught you how to throw?"

"This is how you throw. Center your weight, breathe in, focus, and follow through."

"You see? It's all in the follow through."

"I love being outside and being my own boss."

"I like that I can pour my heart and soul into what I'm growing. You know, make sure it becomes exactly what I need it to be, something strong that lasts."

"A legacy that my son can be proud of."

"You want to know why I didn't try harder to come home?"

"The thought did cross my mind."

"I've been an explorer my whole life. Chasing that horizon, that's all I've ever known."

"If I gave up on it, what would I be? Who would I be?"

"Too old to change now."

"Let's go get another drink while we still can."

"Huh. Look at that. They're finally getting along."

"Don't let your father hear you say that."

"You wanna take the wheel? I'm dying for a cup of coffee."

"You don't think your dad and I talk?"

"Why is this place so weird?"

"I think this place is...it's kind of amazing."

"I've never seen you so happy as you are down here."

"The farm is so small. The world is so big."

"I just feel like I'm in my element."

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Please don't make it weird."

"Moms can't be weird. We gave birth to you."

"We've got rights, and I'd like to exercise my right to stare at you uncomfortably."

"You have to focus on the road."

"I'm just saying, you should keep exploring those feelings. Might just lead you down some interesting paths."

"I've been down here for years and I've never seen anything like this."

"This doesn't make any sense."

"I can't outrun 'em."

"But why didn't they attack us?"

"Well. Let's even the odds."

"I've lived my whole life without the stuff. You'll be fine."

"Just like how we do it on our fam."

"We came down here to save our farm, and that's what we're gonna do. Together."

"This is more your thing."

"This is our thing."

"It just doesn't feel right to me. I don't want to kill all these creatures."

"Don't think of it as kill. We're just exterminating some pests trying to destroy our crops."

"This is what farmers do."

"This doesn't sound like you."

"This is probably the most me I've ever been."

"I just feel like I'm in my element when I'm exploring this world."

"There's just so much to discover here."

"Are you saying you want to be an explorer?"

"Is this because of him?"

"Are you trying to brainwash my son?"

"Will you trust me? You do not want to be like him."

"The only thing he cares about is himself."

"I know you, and this isn't you."

"You just assume I'll follow in your footsteps, but you never asked me what I wanted."

"You're a kid. You don't know what you want."

"I know I don't wanna be you."

"My whole like, I worked so hard to be the exact opposite of my dad. And, uh, looks like I ended up just like him."

"I just wanted so badly to build you a legacy you could be proud of, but I mighta got a little bit caught up in it."

"I think we're on the other side of the mountains."

"There is nothing but water out there."

"That's an eye, right? A really, really big eye."

"You know what this means, right?"

"If this place has an eye, it has to be attached to a head. And if this place has a head, that means what we've been travelling through this entire time was its insides."

"This place is alive. It's a living thing."

"All this time, we've been living on the back of this giant creature?"

"I don't know what you just said, but I'm pretty sure it was inappropriate."

"You have to turn the ship around. Mission's over."

"This place is not what it seems."

"They don't know what they saw out there."

"I'm gonna see this for myself."

"Are you serious? This world is dying."

"What do you know about this world?"

"What do I know about this world?"

"I dedicated my whole life to doing something that no one has ever done, and I did everything I could to train you up so that you could be right there with me when I did it."

"This was supposed to be our legacy."

"You wanna talk about legacy? I'm about to destroy mine."

"Get your hands off me."

"Emotions are running really high right now, and I don't know what you think you saw."

"You have no idea what you're doing."

"Please, you gotta listen to me!"

"You can't do this! You have to listen to me!"

"You think you can reach your arm under here and up to the door handle?"

"That's mama's baby!"

"Can you not yell at my dog?"

"I wouldn't yell if he were actually trained."

"I'm not qualified to fly this ship. It is all yours."

"You keep our son safe out there."

"He is not coming with me."

"I'm sorry if I ever made you think that you had to be a farmer to make me proud. I'm always proud of you."

"Hey, guys. Remember me?"

"Now do you see what we're dealing with?"

"That's a heart."

"My legacy isn't those mountains. It's you."

"Let's do this. Father and son."

"Who's ready to go home?"

"I spent my whole life wondering about this moment. What'd it be like? What'd it look like? What'd it feel like?"

"Though it's been an incredibly challenging year, it's inspiring to see how resilient people can be."

"The world's clearly changed, and it continues to change. And though we can't live like we did in the past, we've now given ourselves a better chance at a future."

"We're not quite there yet, but we will be."

"The best legacy we can leave is making a present worth opening tomorrow."

"Thank you for everything you've given me."

The Family Madrigal

"This is our home. We've got every generation."

"So full of music! A rhythm of its own design."

"This is my family! A perfect constellation!"

"So many stars and everybody gets to shine."

"Let's be clear, Abuela runs this show."

"She led us here so many years ago."

"Every year our family blessings grow."

"There's just a lot you've simply got to know."

"All the people are fantastical and magical."

"Oh my gosh, it's them!"

"Where are the gifts? I can't remember all the gifts!"

"It is physically impossible to relax!"

"Tell us everything! What are your powers?"

"Just tell us what everyone can do!"

"That's why coffee's for grown-ups."

"Her mood affects the weather."

"When she's unhappy, well, the temperature gets weird."

"They say he saw the future. One day he disappeared."

"The truth is she can heal you with a meal."

"Her recipes are remedies for real."

"If you're impressed, imagine how I feel."

"I know it sounds fantastical and magical."

"We swear to always help those around us, and earn the miracle that somehow found us."

"The town keeps growing. The world keeps turning."

"Work and dedication will keep the miracle burning."

"Each new generation must keep the miracle burning."

"There are so many people! How do you keep them all straight?"

"I think it's time for a grandkid round up!"

"One strong, one graceful. Perfect in every way."

"She's a perfect, golden child."

"The beauty and the brawn do no wrong."

"But what's your gift?"

"I never meant to get autobiographical."

"He's accident-prone, but he means well."

"Hey, you said you wanna know what everyone does."

"You can marry my sister if you wanna, but between you and me, she's kind of a prima donna."

"I've said too much!"

"My family's amazing, and I'm in my family!"

Waiting On A Miracle

"Don't be upset or mad at all."

"Don't feel regret or be sat at all."

"I will stand on the side as you shine."

"I can't move the mountains."

"I can't make flowers bloom."

"I can't take another night up in my room waiting on a miracle."

"I can't heal what's broken."

"Can't keep down the unspoken invisible pain always waiting on a miracle."

"Always walking alone, always wanting for more."

"It's like I'm still at that door, longing to shine like all of you shine."

"All I need is a change."

"All I need is a chance."

"All i know is I can't stay on the side."

"I would move the mountains, make new trees and flowers grow."

"Someone please just le me know where do I go?"

"I am waiting on a miracle."

"I would heal what's broken. Show this family something new."

"I'm sick of waiting on a miracle. So here I go."

"I am ready. Come on, I'm ready. I've been patient and steadfast and steady."

"Bless me now as you blessed us all those years ago when you gave us a miracle."

"Am I too late for a miracle?"

Surface Pressure

"I'm the strong one. I'm not nervous."

"I'm as tough as the crust of the earth is."

"I glow cause I know what my worth is."

"I don't ask how hard the work is."

"Diamonds and platinum, I find 'em and flatten 'em."

"I take what I'm handed. I break what's demanded."

"Under the surface I feel berserk as a tightrope walker in a three-ring circus."

"Under the surface was Hercules ever like yo I don't wanna fight Cerberus?"

"Under the surface I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service."

"A flaw or a crack, the straw in the stack that breaks the camel's back...what breaks the camel's back? It's pressure like a drip that'll never stop."

"Give it to your sister, your sister's older. Give her all the heavy things we can't shoulder."

"Who am I if I can't run with the ball? If I fall to pressure like a grip and it won't let go?"

"Give it to your sister, your sister's strong. See if she can hang on a little longer."

"Who am I if I can't carry it all? If I falter?"

"Under the surface I hide my nerves and it worsens. I worry something is gonna hurt us."

"Under the surface the ship doesn't swerve as it heard how big the iceberg is."

"Under the surface, I think about my purpose. Can I somehow preserve this?"

"Line up the dominoes. A light wind blows. You try to stop it tumbling, but on and on it goes."

"If I could shake the crushing weight of expectations would that free some room up for joy? Or relaxation? Or simple pleasure?"

"Instead we measure this growing pressure, keeps growing. Keep going."

"Give it to your sister, it doesn't hurt. And see if she can handle every family burden."

"Watch as she buckles and bends, but never breaks. No mistakes."

"Give it to your sister and never wonder if the same pressure you've pulled you under."

"Who am I if I don't have what it takes?"

"No cracks. No breaks. No mistakes."

We Don't Talk About Bruno

"We don't talk about Bruno!"

"It was my wedding day. We were getting ready, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky."

"You telling this story or am I?"

"Married in a hurricane. What a joyous day."

"I can always hear him sort of muttering and mumbling."

"I associate him with the sound of falling sand."

"It's a heavy lift with a gift so humbling."

"Grappling with the prophecies they couldn't understand. Do you understand?"

"Seven-foot frame, rats along his back. When he calls your name, it all fades to black."

"He sees your dreams and feasts on your screams."

"He told me my fish would die. The next day? Dead."

"He told me I'd grow a gut, and just like he said."

"He said that all my hair would disappear. Now look at my head."

"Your fate is sealed when your prophecy is read."

"He told me that the life of my dreams would be promised and someday be mine."

"He told me that my power would grow like the grapes that thrive on the vine."

"He told me that the man of my dreams would be just out of reach, betrothed to another."

"It's like I hear him now."

"Hey sis, I want not a sound out of you."

"Gimmie the truth and the whole truth."

"Your boyfriends here!"

What Else Can I Do?

"I just made something unexpected. Something sharp. Something new."

"it's not symmetrical or perfect, but it's beautiful. And it's mine."

"What else can I do?"

"Bring it in! Bring it in!"

"I grow rows and rows of roses, flor de mayo by the mile."

"I make perfect practiced poses. So much hides behind my smile."

"What could I do if I just grew what I was feeling in the moment?"

"What could I do if I just knew it didn't need to be perfect?"

"Can I deliver us a river of sundew?"

"Careful, it's carnivorous."

"I wanna feel the shiver of something new."

"I'm sick of pretty. I want something true. Don't you?"

"You just seem like your life's been a dream since the moment you opened your eyes."

"All I know are the blossoms you grow, but it's awesome to see how you rise."

"How far can I rise?"

"What can you do when you are deeply, madly, truly in the moment?"

"Seize the moment. Keep going."

"What can you do when you know who you wanna be isn't perfect?"

"The way is clearer cause you're here and, well, I owe this all to you."

"Show 'em what you can do."

"There's nothing you can't do."

Dos Oruguitas

"They spend every evening and morning learning to hold each other."

"Their hunger burning to navigate a world that turns and never stops turning."

"Together in this world that turns and never stops turning."

"The wind grows colder, but they're together."

"They hold each other, no way of knowing they're all they have for shelter."

"They long to stay together, but something inside them is growing."

"Don't you hold on too tight. Both of you know it's your time to grow."

"Wonders await you just on the other side."

"Trust they'll be there, and start to prepare the way for tomorrow."

"Each in their own world anticipating what happens after the rearranging."

"So afraid of change in a world that never stops changing."

"Let the walls come down. The world will never stop changing."

"Don't you hold on too tight. Both of you know it's your time to go."

"Don't look behind you. Fly til you find your way toward tomorrow."

All of You

"Look at this home. We need a new foundation."

"It may seem hopeless, but we'll get by just fine."

"Look at this family, a glowing constellation. So full of stars and everybody wants to shine."

"The stars don't shine, they burn. And the constellations shift."

"I think it's time to learn you're more than just your gift."

"I'm sorry I held on too tight, just so afraid I'd lose you too."

"The miracle is not some magic that you've got. The miracle is you, not some gift."

"The miracle is you. All of you."

"I'm sorry 'bout your wedding, didn't mean to be upsetting."

"That wasn't a prophecy, I could just see you were sweating."

"I want you to know that your bro loves you so."

"That's what I'm always saying, bro."

"Got a lot of apologies I got to say."

"Hey, we're just happy that you're here, okay?"

"No matter what happens, we're gonna find our way."

"I knew he never left. I heard him every day."

"Lay down your load. We are only down the road."

"We have no gifts, but we are many, and we'll do anything for you."

"It's a dream when we work as a team."

"I may not be as strong, but I'm getting wiser."

"Come on, let's plant something new and watch it fly."

"The seasons change in turn."

"Would you watch our little girl go? She takes after you."

"I just have so much love inside."

"You talk so loud."

"You take care of your mother and you make her proud."

"You write your own poetry every night when you go to sleep."

"I'm seizing the moment. So would you wake up and notice me?"

"I like the new foundation. It isn't perfect. Neither are we."

"We see how bright you burn."

"We see how brave you've been."

"See yourself in turn."

"You're the real gift, kid. Let us in."

"This is where our magic comes from?"

"This candle holds the miracle given to our family."

"How did we get a miracle?"

"In our darkest moment, we were given a miracle."

"The candle became a magical flame that could never go out and it blessed us with a refuge in which to live."

"When my children came of age, the miracle blessed each with a magic gift to help us."

"Together out family's gifts have made our new home a paradise."

"Tonight this candle will give you your gift."

"Strengthen our community, strengthen our home. Make your family proud."

"Make my family proud."

"What do you think my gift will be?"

"You are a wonder. Whatever gift awaits will be just as special as you."

"Hey! When's the magic gift happen?"

"My cousin's ceremony is tonight."

"What's his gift?!"

"Aw, you're not gonna leave me alone, are you?"

"But what's your gift?"

"They were just asking about the family."

"She was about to tell us about her super awesome gift."

"You didn't get a gift?"

"If I was you, I'd be really sad."

"The truth is, gift or not, I am just as special as the rest of my family."

"Who wants more pink?"

"Maybe your gift is being in denial."

"I made a rainbow!"

"My baby's night has to be perfect, and it's not perfect, and people are going to be coming and nothing's ready!"

"Did someone say flowers?"

"A little sisterly advice. If you weren't always trying too hard, you wouldn't be in the way."

"This is called helping and I'm not in the way."

"I just want to do my part like the rest of my family."

"Remember. You have nothing to prove."

"Maybe you should leave the decorations to someone else?"

"I actually made these as a surprise for you."

"I know you want to help, but tonight must go perfectly."

"The whole town relies on our family, on our gifts."

"The best way for some of us to help is to step aside, let the rest of the family do what they do best. Okay?"

"You know tonight will be hard for her."

"If the gift ceremony doesn't go well this time, tonight will be hard for us all."

"Everyone's looking for you."

"This present will self-destruct if you don't take it in three, two, one..."

"You have nothing to worry about. You're gonna get your gift and open that door, and it's gonna be the coolest ever. I know it."

"What if it doesn't work?"

"I wish you could have a door."

"You know what? You don't have to worry about me, cause I have an amazing family and an amazing house, and an amazing you."

"Seeing you get your special gift and your door that's gonna make me way more happy than anything."

"Alas, I am going to miss having the world's best roomie..."

"I know you're an animal guy."

"The greatest honor of our family has been to use our blessings to serve this beloved community."

"Tonight we come together once more as another steps into the light to make us proud."

"Will you use your gift to honor our miracle?"

"Will you serve this community and strengthen our home?"

"We have a new gift!"

"I knew you could do it. A gift just as special as you are."

"Am I too late for a miracle?"

"The house is in danger!"

"If it was all in my head, how did I cut my hand?"

"I wish you could see yourself the way I do. You are perfect, just like this."

"You're just as special as anyone else in this family."

"I healed your hand with my love for my daughter with her wonderful brain, big heart, cool glasses."

"I know what I saw."

"My brother lost his way in this family. I don't want the same for you."

"If our family knew how vulnerable we truly are..."

"If our miracle is dying, we cannot lose our home again."

"Open my eyes. If the answer is here, help me find it."

"Help me protect our family."

"Help me save our miracle."

"I will save the miracle."

"Wait. How do I save a miracle?"

"There is one person in this family who hears everything about everything."

"If anything would know what's wrong with the magic, it's her."

"You know, out of all my older cousins, you're like my favorite cousin, so I feel like I can talk to you about anything ergo you can talk to me about anything."

"The only one worried about the magic is you...and the rats talking in the walls."

"I heard her eye twitching all night."

"I told 'em to warm up your seat."

"I'm sure today we'll find a way to put your blessings to good use."

"If you can't pay attention, I will help you."

"As I was saying, we must never take our miracle for granted, so today we will work twice as hard."

"He wants five babies."

"Such a fine young man with our perfect woman will bring a new generation of magical blessings and make both of our families stronger."

"You gotta tell me about the magic. What's going on? What are you hiding?"

"Your eye was twitching and it never twitches. Something's making you nervous."

"Sorry that...uh...that snuck out there. What I meant was why would anything be wrong? I'm totally fine."

"Your eye is doing the thing."

"I think you're carrying way too much."

"Maybe I over do it."

"There is something you should know. Last night, when you saw the cracks? I felt weak."

"What do you think's hurting the magic?"

"How do you find a vision?! What am I even looking for?"

"If you find it, you'll know."

"Be careful. That place is off limits for a reason."

"What's hurting the magic?"

"Where are you coming from in such a hurry?"

"My gift! I'm losing my gift!"

"Why am I in your vision?"

"I heard the name we do not speak."

"If he had a vision about someone, what would it mean for them?"

"What if you didn't understand what he saw?"

"Got your party pants on? Cause I do!"

"She's gonna tell everyone."

"Let's hope tonight is not a horrible disaster."

"To a perfect night!"

"It's actually family tradition to sing after."

"The most perfect flower in this entire encanto."

"Why did you take the vision? What does it mean?"

"You were never supposed to see that vision. No one was."

"I used to say my real gift was acting."

"How long have you been back here?"

"Their love could never be."

"I don't understand why you left but you didn't leave."

"My gift wasn't helping the family, but I love my family, you know. I just don't know how to..."

"I think you should go because, um, I don't really have a good reason, but if I did, you'd be like I should go cause that's a good reason."

"I just wanted to make the family proud of me. Just once."

"If I should stop, if I'm hurting my family, just tell me."

"I can't tell you because I don't know."

"I had this vision the night that you didn't get your gift."

"The vision was different. It would change and there was no one answer. No clear fate. Like your future was undecided."

"You left to protect me?"

"Look, if I could help anymore, I would, but that's all I know."

"Good luck. I wish I could've seen more."

"You wish you could've seen more. So see more. Have another vision."

"I don't do visions anymore."

"You can't say the weight of the world is on your shoulders, the end."

"If our fates up to me, me says have another vision. Maybe it'll show me what to do."

"You should have told me the second you saw the vision! Think of the family!"

"I was thinking of my daughter!"

"Look around! We must protect our family, our Encanto! We cannot lose our home!"

"People in town are becoming anxious about the magic. They want to see you."

"She was in that vision for a reason. Find her."

"You can't hurry the future."

"What if I show you something worse? If I see something that you don't like?"

"I don't think you make bad things happen. Sometimes family weirdo's just get a bad rap."

"For the nerves."

"I need to know which way it goes. There's gotta be an answer, something we're not seeing."

"You're looking at the same thing that I am!"

"To make the candle brighter, you have to embrace her."

"Our family got a miracle. How do you help a family miracle?"

"The fate of the family is not up to her. It's up to you."

"You're exactly what this family needs. You just have to see it."

"It was your vision. Not mine."

"After I save the miracle, I'm bringing you home."

"I know we've had our issues, but I'm ready to be a better sister to you. So we should just...let's hug it out, eh?"

"I feel like you're upset, and you know what cures being upset? A warm embrace."

"You wanna be a better sister? Apologize for ruining my life!"

"I am sorry that your life is so great!"

"Some of us have bigger problems, you selfish, entitled princess!"

"Selfish? I've been suck being perfect my whole entire life and literally the only thing you have ever done is mess things up!"

"You can still marry that big, dumb hunk!"

"I never wanted to marry him! I was doing it for the family!"

"That is a very serious confession."

"You're a bad influence."

"Look at our home. Look at your sister!"

"Of course she isn't happy! You ruined her proposal!"

"That's why I'm in the vision. I'm saving the miracle."

"The cracks started with YOU."

"I don't know why you weren't given a gift, but it is not an excuse for you to hurt this family!"

"I will never be good enough for you, will I? No matter how hard I try."

"He loves this family! I love this family! We all love this family! You're the one that doesn't care! You're the one breaking our home!"

"The miracle is dying because of you!"

"They haven't found her yet?"

"I'm sorry. I didn't want to hurt us. I just wanted to be something I'm not."

"I've never been able to come back here."

"This river is where we were given our miracle."

"I thought we would have a different life. I thought I would be a different woman."

"I was given a miracle, a second chance, and I was so afraid to lose it that I lost sight of who the miracle was for."

"You never hurt our family. We are broken because of me."

"I can finally see. You lost your home, lost everything. You suffered so much all alone so it would never happen again."

"We were saved because of you. We were given a miracle because of you."

"We are a family because of you, and nothing could ever be broken that we can't fix together."

"I feel like I missed something important."

"What! We don't have a house? I can't say we don't have a house? What is that? Not a house."

Lead The Way

"We have a choice to build or destroy, to fight or to come together."

"Love is a bridge and trust is a gift. Give and it gets better."

"There's an energy in the water."

"There is magic deep in our heart."

"There's a legacy that we honor when we bright the light to the dark."

"Whatever brings us together can never tear us apart."

"We become stronger than ever when we just trust."

"Trust and believe it. You'll see that we'll lead the way."

"When you're broken, open up your heart and feel."

"There's no difference. We're all family here."

"Despite all of our doubts, all our ups and down, there is never really anything to fear."

"I see you as myself."

"Nothing we can't do."

"Put the past behind."

"Learn from life this time."

"I know what you're thinking. A lone rider. A dystopian world that's gone to waste. How did this world get so broken?"

"This is what we used to be, when our land was whole and we lived harmoniously alongside dragons."

"The dragons fought for us the best they could, but it wasn't enough."

"It should have been this big inspirational moment where humanity united over her sacrifice, but instead, people being people, they all fought to possess the last remnant of dragon magic."

"That's now how the world broke."

"Look's like someone's trying to be clever."

"Let's show 'em what clever really looks like."

"Hey bud, that was awesome!"

"Woah, wait a second. This feels too easy."

"I know it's your job to try and stop me, but you won't."

"Don't mistake spirit for skill."

"You might wanna take out that blade. You're gonna need it."

"Hey, don't beat yourself up too much. You gave it your best."

"You did good, dewdrop. You passed the test."

"For generations, our family has sworn to protect the gem. Today, you will join that legacy."

"You are now a Guardian of the Dragon Gem."

"Anyone hoping to steal the Dragon Gem now has to face the fury of the two baddest blades in all the lands."

"I'm glad you feel prepared, dewdrop, because I have something important to tell you."

"The other lands. They're on their way here as we speak."

"We can do this. I'm ready. I know exactly how we'll stop them."

"Tell me what you know about the other lands."

"A sweltering desert with sneaky mercenaries who fight dirty."

"A floating market famous for fast deals and fighters with even faster hands."

"A frigid bamboo forest guarded by exceptionally large warriors and their giant axes."

"Our fiercest enemy. A nation protected by angry assassins and their even angrier cats."

"So we're gonna need some crossbows and catapults."

"We're not going to poison them and we're not going to fight them. We're going to share a meal with them."

"They're only our enemies because they think the Dragon Gem magically brings us prosperity."

"There's a reason why each land is name after a part of the dragon. We were once unified. Harmoniously as one."

"That's ancient history."

"If we don't stop and learn to trust one another again, it's only a matter of time before we tear each other apart."

"This isn't the world I want you to live in."

"Things look a little tense."

"Don't worry. I'm gonna open with a joke."

"For far too long, we have been enemies. But today is a new day."

"Why'd you really bring us here? Are you gonna rob us?"

"Why would he need to rob us?"

"The gem's not a weapon. It's a sacred relic."

"He brought us all this way to talk about fairy tales."

"I might be a little bit of a dragon nerd."

"Seriously? Your mom actually said that?"

"Next question. Hand-to-hand or swords?"

"Only a monster would choose to wear this outfit on the regular?"

"This is actually one of the first times I've had rice in a while."

"We both have single parents who are terrible at telling jokes."

"We're both warrior women who despise uncomfortable formal wear."

"Legends say she's now sleeping at the river's end."

"If we could find it, could you imagine? A dragon back in the world!"

"Things could be so much better."

"Here. From one dragon nerd to another."

"It's the last bit of dragon magic left in the whole world."

"In a different world, maybe we could have been friends."

"You will not set foot on the Dragon Gem's inner circle."

"Our blades say differently."

"Listen to me! We have a choice! We can tear each other apart or we can come together to build a better world. it's not too late."

"There's still magic in them!"

"Please. We have to keep moving."

"You are the guardian of the Dragon Gem."

"There's still light in this. There's still hope."

"Don't give up on them."

"I love you, my dewdrop."

"You're getting a little too big for this, bud."

"Six years of searching and we end up at a literal shipwreck."

"That's not a bad sign, is it?"

"I don't know if you're listening. I've searched every river to find you and now I'm here at the very last one."

"Look, there's not a lot of us left, and we really need your help. If I can be honest, I really need your help."

"I made a mistake. I trusted someone I shouldn't have and...now the world's broken."

"I know, buddy. I haven't forgotten."

"Oh! Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't see you there!"

"Is that food? I was so focused on saving the world I forgot to have breakfast today."

"Today? When exactly do you think today is?"

"Mmmm. What is this delightful culinary treat"

"Well, compliments to the chef."

"There are a few things I need to catch you up on."

"Is that supposed to make me feel better?"

"I'm gonna be real with you, alright? I'm not, like, the best dragon, ya know."

"But you saved the world!"

"Have you ever done like a group project, but there's like, the one kid who didn't pitch in as much, but still ended up with the same grade?"

"Every dragon has a unique magic."

"You're still connected to the gem's magic, and that means you can still use it to save the world."

"Retrieving some useless dragon scroll isn't worth the risk."

"Anyone else wanna question why we're out here?"

"Wow. So many questions. First one, why am I wearing this?"

"We don't want to attract attention."

"I'm just not used to seeing dragons."

"I got water skills that kill."

"I slaughter when I hit the water."

"A gift says you can trust me, can I trust you?"

"Well, you gotta admire her commitment."

"I just shapechanged! Into people!"

"Dragons can do that?"

"Now that you don't have to hide me, getting the rest of the gems is gonna be a breeze."

"That's not a very nice way to describe an old friend."

"Oh, I see you've finally made a new friend, and here I was worried you were gonna end up becoming a cat lady like me."

"Something tells me you're not besties."

"Stealing Dragon Gem pieces, are we? Why?"

"What can I say? Bling is my thing."

"I gotta admit, until a few months ago, I thought you were stone."

"Oh, is that why you're chasing me? And here I thought it was because you missed me."

"What are you, 12?"

"The captain. Where is the captain?"

"Does this thing go any faster?"

"This is water. Its sort of my thing."

"Someone could see you."

"What? Are you scared he's gonna challenge me to a dance battle?"

"I saw people lose their minds over a Dragon Gem. Can you imagine what they'd do over an actual dragon?"

"We need you to make this all work."

"Wow. You really got some trust issues."

"We don't know him. It could be poison."

"Why would I poison you?"

"If this is poison, you're gonna die happy."

"You know, during the day, you can almost forget they're here, but at night..."

"This is why I never leave the boat."

"A plague. Born from human discord."

"They've always been here. Waiting for a moment of weakness to attack."

"Instead of bringing water and life to the world, they're like a relentless fire that consumes everything in its wake until there's nothing left except ash and stone."

"They took my family."

"We're just gonna have to turn up the charm."

"I think maybe it's safer for you to stay here on the boat."

"If you see any hungry faces, send 'em my way."

"It's really late. What are you doing out here? Where are your parents?"

"Really? A con-baby?"

"This is giving me bad feels."

"You better pay up. This isn't a charity."

"Who do you think you're stealing from?"

"Can't you see she's new in town?"

"So, it's none of my business, but using your baby charm to rip people off is super sketchy."

"How would you like to earn some honest loot?"

"He really likes living on the edge."

"Now, you're gonna tell me where I can find those other Dragon Gem pieces, or I'll have to leave you outside with that thing. Take your pick."

"But I...I trusted you..."

"I can't believe it. That old lady was really gonna hurt me."

"That's what the world is now. You can't trust anyone."

"Without proper protection, it would be a death sentence for our people."

"My little morning mist, oh, it's good to see you home."

"I'd like to take the royal army and intercept her."

"She's more capable than you realize."

"Look around. We made all this by making smart decisions, not emotional ones."

"I don't think it's wise to risk yourself when you don't have to."

"This isn't an emotional decision. It's the only decision we can make."

"You're truly growing into the leader I raised you to be."

"Ready the royal army for my daughter's command."

"Remind me to never have kids."

"Being people is hard."

"You lie to get what you want."

"The world's broken. You can't trust anyone."

"Maybe the world's broken because you don't trust anyone."

"He sounds like a smart man."

"I really wanted to believe him."

"That doesn't mean you shouldn't try."

"Look around. We're a world of orphans because people couldn't stop fighting over a gem."

"Wanna know why the other dragons didn't come back? It's because people don't deserve them."

"I'm going to show you that you're wrong by proving to you that if you wanna get someone's trust, you have to give a little trust first."

"In hindsight, maybe I was a little hasty."

"I can see how that makes me look like a liar."

"I think it was the lying that made you look like a liar."

"Your fear is like delectable nectar feeding the tum-tum of my soul."

"It's been such a long time since I've last peered into the eyes of a trembling enemy. Where has the time gone?"

"I was born and bred to do only one thing. To invoke fear and to crush the skulls of my enemies."

"I'm formulating this gruesome plan in my head. Makes me sick just thinking about it."

"Send her out or we're coming in!"

"You're the only one here?"

"You're gonna fight an entire army?"

"Once you guys are clear, I'm out of here."

"The moniker given to me is long."

"You don't know me and I don't know you, but I'm sure that you know a back door or a way outta here, and it's really important that my friends stay safe. Okay?"

"Note to self. Don't die."

"Hey there, Princess Undercut. Fancy meeting you here."

"My sword says we're not."

"I knew you couldn't handle rolling solo. You're nothing without your band."

"Stand down. This shouldn't take long."

"Looks like somebody's been taking classes."

"Yep. She's a dragon."

"Why are you here, divine water dragon?"

"You're gonna bring everyone back? I wanna help."

"Their blades are specially designed for the stabbing of backs."

"If it weren't for them, none of this would have happened."

"If we're just honest with her, deep down, I got a feeling she wants to fix the world as much as we do."

"Why did you bring me here?"

"I want you to meet my brothers and sisters. The real mighty ones. I miss them."

"I never knew they were here."

"We were the last dragons."

"All I know is I trusted them, and they trusted me."

"When they put their faith in me, it empowered me beyond anything I could imagine."

"I once thought that we could be friends."

"Even if she wanted to help us, how could I possibly trust her?"

"Do you think he would even recognize me? So much has changed."

"You remind me of him."

"It may feel impossible, but sometimes you just have to take the first step. Even before you're ready."

"Run along, kittens. I have to speak with the princess."

"You saw a dragon."

"She can fix what we broke. She can bring everyone back."

"When everyone comes back, who do you think they'll come for?"

"You forget, the other lands blame us for what's happened."

"More importantly, our people would remain safe."

"We're not going to give her a choice."

"That's no longer your concern, my love. You've done enough."

"She really has no reason to help us."

"It'll be nice to share a meal with him again."

"I have this really obnoxious sister who always tousles my hair. I can't wait to see her the most."

"After we win the day, I look forward to filling my eyeball with the joytastic image of my village full again."

"You will be reunited with your family."

"It's her name. It's written on her collar."

"I see you got my gift."

"I never thought I'd see this again."

"The final piece. Time to bring everyone back."

"It doesn't have to be like this."

"I don't have any other choice."

"I know you don't wanna hurt anybody. You just want a better world. Like we all do."

"It appears that with the last dragon gone, so too goes the water."

"I never meant for any of this to happen."

"You didn't trust her. That's why were' here."

"Do whatever you want, but you're as much to blame for her death as I am."

"I don't know why they chose me. It could have been any of us."

"It's not about her magic. It's about trust."

All Is Found

"Where the north wind meets the sea, there's a river full of memory."

"Sleep, my darling, safe and found."

"In this river all is found."

"In her waters, deep and true, lie the answers and a path for you."

"Dive down deep into her sound, but not too far, or you'll be drowned."

"She will sing to those who hear."

"In her song all magic flows."

"Can you brave what you most fear?"

"Can you face what the river knows?"

"Where the north wind meets the sea, there's a mother full of memory."

"Come, my darling, homeward bound."

"When all is lost then all is found."

Some Things Never Change

"Yes the wind blows a littler colder and we're all getting older."

"The clouds are moving on with every autumn breeze."

"That's why I rely on certain certainties."

"Some things never change, like the feel of your hand in mine."

"Some things stay the same, like how we get along just fine."

"Like an old stone wall that'll never fall, some things are always true."

"Some things never change, like how I'm holding on tight to you."

"The leaves are already falling."

"It feels like the future is calling."

"Are you telling me tonight you're gonna get down on one knee?"

"I'm really bad at planning these things out, like candlelight and pulling of rings out."

"Maybe you should leave all the romantic stuff to me."

"Some things never change, like the love that I feel for her."

"Some things stay the same, like how reindeers are easier."

"If I commit and I go for it, I'll know what to say and do. Right?"

"Some things never change. The pressure is all on you."

"The winds are restless. Could that be why I'm hearing this call?"

"Is something coming? I'm not sure I want things to change at all."

"These days are precious, can't let them slip away."

"I can't freeze this moment, but I can still go out and seize this day."

"The wind blows a little colder."

"You all look a little bit older."

"It's time to count our blessings beneath an autumn sky."

"We'll always live in the kingdom of plenty that stands for the good of many."

"Our flag will always fly."

"Some things stay the same, though the future remains unknown."

"May our good come back."

"May our past be past."

Into The Unknown

"I can hear you, but I won't."

"Some look for trouble, while others don't."

"There's a thousand reason I should go about my day and ignore your whispers, which I wish would go away."

"You're not a voice. You're just a ringing in my ear."

"If I heard you, which I don't, I'm spoken for I fear."

"Everyone I've ever loved is here within these walls."

"I'm sorry, secret siren, but I'm blocking out your calls."

"I've had my adventure. I don't need something new."

"I'm afraid of what I'm risking if I follow you into the unknown."

"What do you want cause you've been keeping me awake."

"Are you here to distract me so I make a big mistake?"

"Are you someone out there who's a little bit like me who knows deep down I'm not where I'm meant to be?"

"Every day's a little harder as I feel my power grow."

"Don't you know there's part of me that longs to go into the unknown?"

"Are you out there? Do you know me?"

"Can you feel me? Can you show me?"

"Where are you going? Don't leave me alone."

"How do I follow you into the unknown?"

When I Am Older

"This will all make sense when I am older."

"Someday I will see that this makes sense."

"One day when I'm old and wise, I'll think back and realize that these were all completely normal events."

"I'll have all the answers when I'm older."

"I know in a couple years these will seem like childish fears."

"Growing up means adapting, puzzling out your world and your place."

"When I'm more mature, I'll feel comfortably secure being watched by something with a creepy, creepy face."

"See, that will all make sense when I am older so there's no need to be terrified or tense."

"I'll just dream about a time when I'm in my aged prime."

"When you're older absolutely everything makes sense."

Reindeers Are Better Than People (Cont.)

"Why is love so hard?"

"You feel what you feel and those feelings are real. Come on, let down your guard."

Lost In The Woods

"Again, you're gone off on a different path than mine. I'm left behind wondering if I should follow."

"You had to go, and of course it's always fine. I probably could catch up with you tomorrow."

"Is this what it feels like to be growing apart?"

"When did I become the one who's always chasing your heart?"

"Now I turn and find I am lost in the woods."

"North is south, right is left when you're gone."

"I'm the one who sees you home, but now I'm lost in the woods."

"I don't know what path you are on."

"Up til now the next step was a question of how."

"Who am I if I'm not your guy?"

"Where am I if we're not together forever?"

"Now I know you're my true north, cause I am lost in the woods."

"Up is down, day is night when you're not there."

"Oh, you're my only landmark so I'm lost in the woods."

"I'll wait for a sign that I'm your path, cause you are mine."

Show Yourself

"Every inch of me is trembling, and not from the cold."

"Something is familiar, like a dream I can reach but not quite hold."

"I can sense you there like a friend I've always known."

"I'm arriving and it feels like home."

"I have always been a fortress, cold secrets deep inside."

"You have secrets too, but you don't have to hide."

"Show yourself. I'm dying to meet you."

"Show yourself. It's your turn."

"Are you the one I've been looking for all of my life?"

"Show yourself. I'm ready to learn."

"I've never felt so certain. All my life I've been torn, but I'm here for a reason."

"Could it be the reason I was born?"

"I've always been so different. Normal rules did not apply."

"Is this the day? Are you the way I finally found out why?"

"Show yourself. I'm no longer trembling."

"Here I am. I've come so far."

"You are the answer I've waited for all of my life."

"Show yourself. Let me see who you are."

"Come to me now. Open your door."

"Don't make me wait one moment more."

"Show yourself. Step into your power."

"Throw yourself into something new."

"You are the one you've been waiting for all of your life. Show yourself."

The Next Right Thing

"I've seen dark before, but not like this."

"This is cold. This is empty. This is numb."

"The life I knew is over, the lights are out."

"Hello darkness, I'm ready to succumb."

"I follow you around, but you've gone to a place I cannot find."

"This grief has a gravity. It pulls me down."

"You are lost, hope is gone. But you must go on and do the next right thing."

"Can there be a day beyond this night?"

"I don't know anymore what is true."

"I can't find my direction. I'm all alone. The only star that guided me was you."

"How to rise from the floor when it's not you I'm rising for."

"Just do the next right thing. Take a step. Step again."

"It is all that I can do. The next right thing."

"I won't look too far ahead. It's too much for me to take."

"Break it down to this next breath, this next step."

"This next choice is one that I can make."

"I'll walk through this night, stumbling blindly toward the light, and do the next right thing."

"And with the dawn? What comes then?"

"Uh-oh! The princess is trapped in the snow goblin's evil spell!"

"Make a prince, a fancy one!"

"Oh no, the prince is stuck too!"

"Who cares about danger when there's love?"

"Kissing won't save the forest!"

"They wake the Fairy Queen who breaks the spell and saves everyone!"

"That's like no enchanted forest I've ever seen."

"You've seen an enchanted forest?"

"It's time they know."

"Far away as north as we can go stood a very old and very enchanted forest, but it's magic wasn't that of goblin spells and lost fairies."

"It was protected by the most powerful spirits of all. Those of air, fire, water, and earth."

"They were not magical. They just took advantage of the forest gifts."

"Their ways were so different from ours, but still they promised us friendship."

"It was a gift of peace."

"That's a big gift of peace."

"I was so honored to get to go to the forest to celebrate it."

"I wasn't at all prepared for what the day would bring."

"The fighting enraged the spirits. They turned their magic against us all."

"There was this voice and someone saved me, I'm told."

"That night I came home king."

"That was epic. Whoever saved you, I love them."

"I wish I knew who it was."

"What happened to the spirits? What's in the forest now?"

"The mist still stands. No one can get in and no one has since come out."

"The forest could wake again, and we must be prepared for whatever danger it may bring."

"On that note, how about we say goodnight to your father?"

"Oh, but I still have so many questions!"

"Save them for another night."

"You know I don't have that kind of patience."

"Do you think the forest will wake again?"

"Will you sing it for us? Please?"

"I'm just living the dream. Oh, how I wish this could last forever."

"Yet change mocks us with her beauty."

"Forgive me, maturity is making me poetic."

"Tell me, you're older and thus all knowing. Do you ever worry about the notion that nothing is permanent?"

"I can't wait til I'm aged like you so I don't have to worry about important things."

"Unredeemable monster!"

"Biggest mistake of your life!"

"We didn't even kiss you!"

"You know what? I think I'll turn in."

"Um, how about you guys start without me?"

"That last word, when it really seemed to throw her. What was it?"

"You're wearing mother's scarf. You do that when something's wrong."

"You know, there are few people that are actually good at family games. That's just a fact."

"When are you going to see yourself the way I see you?"

"What would I do without you?"

"I know what you need. Come on, come here."

"We're calling this controlling what you can when things feel out of control."

"You've been hearing a voice and you didn't think to tell me?"

"We made a promise not to shut each other out! Just tell me what's going on!"

"I woke the magical spirits of the enchanted forest."

"Okay, that's definitely not what I thought you were gonna say."

"Wait, the enchanted forest? The one father warned us about?"

"I know it sounds crazy, but I believe whoever is calling me is good."

"How can you say that? Look at our kingdom!"

"My magic can feel it. I can feel it."

"Well, never a dull moment with you two."

"I hope you're prepared for what you have done. Angry magical spirits are not for the faint of heart."

"The past it not what it seems. A wrong demands to be righted."

"The trust must be found. Without it, I see no future."

"When one can see no future, all one can do is the next right thing."

"The next right thing is for me to go to the enchanted forest and find that voice."

"I'm not very comfortable with the idea of that."

"I have my powers to protect me. You don't."

"I will look after your people."

"Please make sure they stay out of the kingdom until we return."

"I won't let anything happen to her."

"As the time for the princess' sixteenth birthday drew near, the entire kingdom began to rejoice."

"Did you know that sleeping quietly on long journey's prevents insanity?"

"Remember our first trip like this when I said you have to be crazy to want to marry a man you just met?"

"Wait, what? Crazy? You didn't say I was crazy. You think I'm crazy?"

"So you're saying I'm wrong for you?"

"I hear it. I hear the voice."

"Promise me. We do this together, okay?"

"Did you know that the enchanted forest is a place of transformation?"

"We're locked in. I did not see that coming."

"This forest is beautiful."

"You know, under different circumstances, this would be a very romantic place. Don't you think?"

"Different circumstances? You mean like with someone else?"

"You don't think we're gonna make it out of here?"

"You think we're gonna die?"

"I swear that I will not leave her side!"

"Hey guys, meet the wind spirit."

"Oh, I think I'm gonna be sick."

"They look like moments in time."

"My theory about advanced technology is both our savior and our doom?"

"Water has memory."

"You're in the better mood now?"

"Why does that soldier look so familiar?"

"That was magic. Did you see it?"

"You chose an ice cold greeting."

"Now our only hope is to find the truth about the past, but we don't have a clue how to do that."

"My people are innocent. We would have never attacked first."

"May the truth be found."

"I see him in your faces."

"Wait, please. Someone has called me here. If I can just find it, I believe they have the answer that may help us free this forest."

"We only trust nature. When nature speaks, we listen."

"They're all looking at us, aren't they? Got any advice? Nothing?"

"Should I know what that means?"

"You hear it too? Somebody's calling us. Who is it? What do we do?"

"You could have been killed. You can't just follow me into fire."

"You don't want me to follow you into fire, then don't run into fire."

"You're not being careful."

"This if from one of our oldest families."

"It was our mothers."

"Some of us were born in here. We've never even seen the clear sky."

"I heard the voice again. We need to go north."

"How do you guys cope with the ever increasing complexity of thought that comes with maturity?"

"It's so refreshing to talk to the youth of today."

"You're in luck, I know nothing about women."

"Oh wow, why would that make me feel better?"

"My father passed long before all this. He was a great man."

"Be prepared. Just when you think you found your way, life will throw you on a new path."

"Some say they heard it call out the day before the spell."

"My father heard it. Do you think that's who's calling me?"

"Why do lullabies always have to have some terrible warning in them?"

"I wonder that all the time."

"This is why we don't play with fire."

"Please tell me you are not about to follow them."

"What if I can settle them like I did with the wind and fire?"

"What if they can crush you before you even get the chance?"

"Remember, the goal is to find the voice, find the truth, and get us home."

"Hey guys, that was close!"

"The Giant sensed me. They may come back here. I don't want to put everyone at risk again."

"They left? Just left without saying anything?"

"Who knows the ways of men?"

"Am I supposed to feel this ridiculous?"

"Wait, you talk for them too?"

"It's like you can actually hear what they're thinking?"

"The princess left with the queen."

"I wouldn't try to follow. They're long gone."

"What would it be doing in the dark sea?"

"How did the ship get through the mist? I thought nobody could but us."

"The end of the ice age the river found but lost magic's source."

"It's a magical river said to hold all the answers about the past."

"This is my fault. They were looking for answers about me."

"You are not responsible for their choices."

"Her good deed was rewarded with you."

"You are a gift."

"The dark sea is too dangerous for us both."

Remember the song? Go too far and you'll be drowned? Who will stop you from going too far?"

"You said you believed in me. That this is what I was born to do."

"I don't want to stop you from being whatever you need to be. I just don't want you dying trying to be everything for everyone else too."

"Don't do this alone. Let me help you, please. I can't lose you."

"You said some things never change, but since then everything's done nothing but change."

"It'll be fun, assuming we don't get stuck here forever and no one ever finds us."

"I just wasn't looking where I was going, but I'm great actually."

"I love you. I need to tell you about my past."

"Magic makes people feel too powerful. Too entitled. It makes them think they can defy the will of a king."

"That is not what magic does. That's just your fear."

"Fear is what can't be trusted."

"They will come in celebrations and then we will know their size and strength."

"As you have welcomed us, we welcome you."

"it wasn't a gift of peace. It was a trick."

"I know how to free the forest. I know what we have to do."

"That's why everyone was forced out. To protect them from what has to be done."

"I could really use a bright side."

"The magic in me is fading."

"I think she may have gone too far."

"I'm sorry. You're gonna have to do the next part on your own."

"I just thought of one thing that's permanent. Love."

"I like warm hugs."

"It's the only way to break the mist and free the forest."

"My sister gave her life for the truth. Please, before we lose anyone else."

"I'm sorry I left you behind. I was just so desperate to protect her."

"My love is not fragile."

"Look at the sky. I just didn't realize there's so much of it."

"Is it really you?"

"I thought I lost you."

"Lost me? You saved me."

"You did what was right. For everyone."

"Did you find the fifth spirit?"

"You are the fifth spirit. You're the bridge."

"A bridge has two sides. And a mother had two daughters."

"You look different. Did you cut your hair or something?"

"You all came back! I love a happy ending!"

"I mean, I presume we're done or is this putting us in a more dangerous situation gonna be a regular thing?"

"You are the most extraordinary person I've ever known."

"I love you with all I am. Will you marry me?"

A Place Called Slaughter Race

"What can it be that calls me to this place today?"

"Am I a baby pigeon sprouting wings to soar?

"Was that a metaphor?"

"Look! I'm rhyming!"

"That great white in the sewer? You'll be happy that you knew her."

"Some find us deplorable."

"Well, I think you're adorable."

"We may be a motley crew, but our hearts ring true."

"My heart's in flight and, wow, it's a blast!"

"Feels like my dreams are real at last."

"No trace of a frown upon your face."

"Living the life, loving the chase."

"I know I should go, but home feels so slow."

"These roads are paved with dreams. Happy dreams, not creepy clown dreams."

Zero

"I find it hard to say the things I want to say the most."

"Find a little bit of steady as I get close."

"Find a balance in the middle of the chaos."

"I remember walking in the cold of November, hoping that I make it to the end of December."

"Twenty seven years and the end on my mind, but holding to the thought of another time."

"Looking to the ways of the ones before me."

"Looking for the path of the young and lonely."

"I don't want to hear about what to do."

"I don't want to do it just to do it for you."

"Let me tell you what it's like to be a zero."

"Let me show you what it's like to always feel like I'm empty and there's nothing really real."

"I'm looking for a way out."

"Let me show you what it's like to never feel like I'm good enough for anything that's real."

"I find it hard to tell you how I want to run away."

"I understand it always make you feel a certain way."

"I find a balance in the middle of the chaos."

"I remember walking in the heat of the summer, wide-eyed one with a mind full of wonder."

"Twenty seven years and I've nothing to show."

"Falling from the dove to the dark of the crow."

"Let me tell you about it."

"Well let me tell you about it."

"Maybe you're the same as me."

"Okay, my turn! My turn! Um, I got one!"

"Can you make it a little more challenging this time?"

"Check this out. I spy with my little eye something yellow and round."

"Boom! I accept your apology!"

"Riddle me this: do you or do you not think that Zangief waxes?"

"That is a choice."

"I think I got one in the chamber."

"Doesn't that game have a virus?"

"I'm gonna beat my speed record!"

"I don't think they fixed the game."

"Do you realize we're basically just, like, zeroes and ones floating around like we are just tiny specks of dust?"

"Doesn't the very nature of our existence make you wonder if there is more to life than this?"

"Why would I wonder if there is more to life when the life I got is perfect?"

"Now I got a best friend who just happens to be the coolest kid in the whole arcade."

"Are you really saying that there is not one single solitary thing about your life that you would change?"

"Think about it. You and me get to good off all night long."

"The only thing I might do different in that scenario would be not having to go to work. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing."

"That's a plug in alert!"

"What do you think, ladylove?"

"Please be a racing game."

"Wi-Fi is the internet, which is an online community where human beings go to shop and play games and socialize."

"The internet is nothing to laugh at."

"It is new. It is different, and therefore we should fear it."

"A new racing game would've been cool."

"Something wrong with your game?"

"Man, I'd kill for even just a new track."

"Don't you ever wish something new and different would happen in your game?"

"It's just a fancy way to say we don't have to argue about it."

"We're arguing? I don't want to argue!"

"Relax. Stop making it a thing."

"She's got the best superpower."

"You're gonna lose today, princess."

"Excuse me, I must've fallen asleep."

"Oh, fun! I'm winning!"

"Looking for something new and different?"

"I'd say I got a little time for a detour!"

"It's like it's driving itself!"

"You know I take my duty as your hero very seriously."

"Wait a minute. You took a serious duty where?"

"We have a situation."

"I think I can get it back there pretty easily."

"Leave him alone. He's just trying to make the game more exciting."

"That's more than this game makes in a year!"

"You can stay here until the arcade closes, I guess, and then we'll figure out where the heck we're gonna put you all."

"I can't believe I don't have a game anymore."

"It's that. It's that feeling, that not knowing what's coming next feeling. That's the stuff."

"It feels like life to me."

"If I'm not a racer, what am I?"

"I'm sorry. I know I'm being weird."

"I think that maybe I just need to be alone right now."

"Well, beggars can't be choosers, can they?"

"I know we've never once talked about having a family before, but it feels like the kind of thing you just jump into with both feet and then make a plan."

"Can I get a quick word with you two?"

"Look, I get it. You've been married for six years, you're looking to spice things up."

"Trust me, adopting fifteen children is the wrong kind of spice."

"Those things are basically feral."

"Pardon me, sir, but those youngsters are lambs! Lost little lambs in need of two kind, caring shepards!"

"Besides, how hard can parenting be? You treat the child like your best friend, you give them everything they want, and you just love their little socks off!"

"She said being friends with me wasn't enough for her."

"Not enough? I'm a great friend!"

"Come on. The kid just lost her game. Give her a break."

"Since when do you drink root beer?"

"You know, I can't help but think this whole mess is some how, partially my fault."

"It figures. Just when my life was perfect."

"Isn't that just a blessing?"

"Are you thinking about going to the internet and finding that part?"

"This is an important mission! A noble mission!"

"Drinks on the house, everybody!"

"Start churning butter and put on your church shoes, little sister, cause we're about to blast off!"

"We're going to the internet."

"I probably should have just said we're going to the internet."

"We saw some undesirables causing a real donnybrook over there!"

"Oh heck no! Not on my watch!"

"This is a shockingly sound, well thought out idea for you. No offense."

"Here it comes! Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I give you the internet!"

"The internet is not nearly as impressive as how Sonic described it."

"That's a gremlin! Stay away! It's a gremlin!"

"Sweet mother of monkey milk!"

"This is the most beautiful miracle I've ever seen."

"It's so big. It goes on forever and ever."

"Don't worry. I'm sure there's someone out here who could give us directions."

"He's got one of those hats that smart people wear. I bet he could help us."

"I hope you are able to find a satisfactory breakfast burrito based upon the search results I have provided this morning."

"Those aren't credit card numbers."

"How exactly do you intend to pay for this item, sir?"

"You're gonna laugh. So this big galoot? He left his wallet at home."

"Well I got some free advice for you! Don't!"

"Wanna get rich playing video games?"

"Is $40,000 lucrative enough for ya?"

"It's wicked dangerous."

"We ain't afraid of danger."

"Enter at your own risk."

"This game is kind of amazing! The attention to detail is pretty impressive!"

"That car is gorgeous! No wonder it's worthy so much."

"You're not playing that horrible video game, are you?"

"Listen up, mice. Anyone who tries to play with this cat ride is gonna get got."

"Give those punks the works."

"I am scared. If we get burnt up in here, that's it. We're dead. We're gone."

"Do you reckon we're going a bit too hard on the players?"

"If we just let them win, where's the life lesson, you know?"

"Imagine a game without challenges. The same predictable thing every single time? Who wants that."

"I just saw a really insightful TEDtalk, and I can't really remember what the guy said, it was more about how it made me feel, but I think ultimately the point was I honor your choice."

"Did you ever wonder what it would be like if someone actually did get your car?"

"I know one thing. Whoever that is will have to be the best of the rest."

"This is nice! Where have you been all my life?"

"This is the worst day of my life! It's a shame we have to leave so soon."

"You mess with the bull, you get the horns, litlte girl!"

"Get back on the track or I'm gonna lose my cookies!"

"This girl can drive!"

"Mother of Hubbard, this lady can really drive!"

"You just stay put. Don't panic. I'm gonna talk to her."

"This is what heroes do."

"You can stop crying. Though, I do respect your wonderful display of vulnerability."

"Friendship is everything to us, too. Right guys?"

"Not sure if nice is a right word."

"I should be thank you. That race was fun."

"If you ever want to come back for a rematch, I'd be happy to kick your butt again."

"That place was scary."

"Exciting is when you smile. Scary is when you clench your butt. And my butt is still clenched."

"Cool? Name one cool thing about her."

"Wait a minute, you're saying my hair's uncool?"

"Wonder why those little guys are giving your video all those hearts?"

"I told you this place was a good idea."

"I don't have time to trifle with every shoeless, mouth-breathing hobo that trundles into my office!"

"Why didn't you tell me I was in the presence of a genius?"

"No wonder your video's so dope."

"What did you say your name was?"

"We're not going back to that death trap?"

"What if I made you a whole bunch of videos of me doing all kinds of crazy things?"

"Have you thought this through at all? What do you plan on even doing in these videos?"

"As usual, human suffering is number one."

"Let's get a little whiff of this."

"You gotta stay here and be my movie star."

"Me and the kid are like shoes and socks. Or peanut butter and bacon. One cannot exist without the other."

"Don't be insecure, big fella. She's not gonna get lost. I promise."

"We haven't been apart in, like, six years. I'm going to miss you."

"So where exactly are you sending her?"

"Bad idea. Those games are dangerous and they rotten your brain."

"Why don't we send her somewhere a little more, totally different from that and nowhere near there?"

"Family-friend fan sites, that sounds fun."

"She is technically a princess, so how about this one here with the sweet little pink castle?"

"This place is bonkers! Whoa!"

"Princesses and cartoon characters? Lame."

"For your final question, my friend would describe me as? Smart, funny, kind, or brave?"

"I do believe our friendship will be the fairest of them all."

"What is Drax really like?"

"You have a permit for that pop-up?"

"Hey! Can't you read? Cast members only!"

"Whoa! Whoa! Ladies, I can explain! See, um...I'm a princess too."

"I'm sure you've heard of us. It'd be embarrassing for you if you haven't."

"What kind of a princess are you?"

"Do you have magic hair?"

"Do animals talk to you?"

"Were you poisoned?"

"Are you guys okay? Should I call the police?"

"I have to assume you made a deal with an underwater sea witch, where she took your voice in exchange for a pair of human beings?"

"Good lord! Who would do that?"

"Have you ever had true love's kiss?"

"Do you have daddy issues?"

"I don't even have a mom!"

"Do people assume all your problems got solved because a big strong man showed up?"

"She is a princess?"

"Who made your gown? I've never seen anything quite like it."

"Oh, this old thing?"

"I'd so love to have one of my own."

"Best outfit ever!"

"Of all the thingamabobs in this entire world, I never thought I'd get to wear a real...what's it called again? Oh, yeah. A shirt."

"I once had a dream that I might wear a shirt."

"That's what happens when a princess sings about her dreams."

"That's never happened to me. I mean, not even once."

"Why don't you give it a try? What is it you really want? Sing about that."

"Sometimes your song can't start until you go someplace to reflect."

"What works for some of us is finding a form of water and staring at it."

"I like to stare at a wishing well."

"I stare at the ocean."

"Well, I guess it's back to the gowns, girls."

"It was lovely to meet you."

"Best of luck finding your song."

"Why are you angry at the lollipop? What does that mean?"

"The file's not loading. If this doesn't load, we're not gonna make it!"

"You don't have enough hearts."

"First rule of the internet. Do not read the comments. Should've told you that."

"Look, this place can bring out the worst in some people, but you gotta ignore all this."

"This isn't about you. It's about them."

"People hated me my whole life for being a bad guy."

"It's just a good reminder that this is the only heart that really matters."

"As long as she likes me, I don't need anybody else."

"Come on, I'm reflecting. What is it that I want? What is my quest?"

"Our lives could finally get back to normal."

"What's the good word, brother?"

"What are you doing in that awful game with her?"

"Can I tell you something that I don't think I could ever tell him."

"The second I walked into this game, it felt...well...it felt like home."

"It's like my dream. It's full of weirdos, and the racing is super dangerous, and you never know what's gonna happen next."

"Here's something I wish I'd learned years ago."

"There is no law saying best friends has to have the same dreams."

"After you go home, and your life gets back to normal, you're always welcome here."

"I want this to be my normal."

"I want this to be my life."

"I can't go home now. I just can't."

"Where I come from that's called a kick in the face. Straight up donkey kick to the teeth."

"She's supposed to be my best friend."

"I gotta get her out of there right now."

"I admire the impulse, but you charge in there like some white knight, she's likely to hold it against you."

"This area right here is what's called the dark net. Lot of shady characters hang out here."

"Just whatever you do, do not look at his little brother."

"You lookin' at my brother?"

"I don't wany anyone to get hurt."

"The only way anyone gets hurt if if you are stupid."

"Come on, kid. I know a hustle when I see one."

"it's show time. You ready for your first race?"

"You gotta let him know you're planning on staying here for a while."

"What if his feelings get hurt so bad he won't wanna be my friend anymore?"

"Look, all friendships change. But the good ones, they get stronger because of this."

"I'm not gonna tell you what to do, kid. It's your call."

"I should've just stayed with you instead of following some stupid dream! I've ruined everything!"

"I didn't mean for it to happen like this. It's not supposed to be this bad."

"You didn't mean for what to happen?"

"So you were spying on me?"

"You aren't exactly innocent here."

"Why would I ever spend another second with you after what you did?"

"No! You will not follow me!"

"A friend would never do what you did."

"I told you. Don't follow me."

"Cut that out. You're scaring me."

"Oh, delightful! You're that courteous little child who says please and thank you."

"This would probably be an appropriate time for me to shelter my site."

"It's me! It's the real me!"

"I followed those things here. I think they're looking for you, kid."

"It's a bit of an empty gesture at this point, wouldn't you say?"

"What can I say, kid? Life's complicated."

"I don't blame you for not wanting to be my friend anymore."

"I never said I didn't want to be your friend."

"I said you're acting like a bad friend, which you were."

"Come on, big man. Help me turn this thing over."

"I got a date with the man in the mirror."

"She's not your friend! She's mine!"

"You know, you're acting like a real bad guy here."

"Catch me if you can, you big dummy!"

"You're gonna kill my best friend!"

"I'll be your only friend, okay?"

"Let him down and I'll go with you. We'll be best friends forever. Just me and you. That's what you want, right?"

"It's not right to hold a friend back from her dreams."

"You don't own her! That's not how friendship works!"

"You need to let her go."

"It's gonna hurt a little bit when you do. Ah, who am I kidding, it's gonna hurt a lot. But you're gonna be okay."

"See? No matter where she goes or where she lives, she's always gonna be our friend."

"You just gotta trust her, cause that's what best friends do."

"I feel good about this."

"I think you fixed your insecurity."

"Wow. That didn't work."

"Look up there! It's a big, strong man in need of rescuing."

"Wait a minute, who are all of you?"

"Looking good, big fella!"

"This dress is not made for a big boy."

"The sun never rises or sets here cause everything is always on."

"Don't be a stranger."

"I can't be much stranger than you."

"That's a good dad joke!"

"You found your dream game."

"Before you go, I wanted to give you this."

"I'm really gonna miss you."

"You're getting a little clingy on me here."

"Go on, get out of here. The world's waiting for you, kid."

"I'll be honest. It still feels kinda weird around here."

"Our friendship is much more important to me than winning."

"Losing builds character!'

"As goofy as they are, they turn out to be pretty great parents."

"I gotta hand it to you two. How on earth did you tame those things?"

"I wish every parent could hear that."

"Thanks. I don't know what I'm talking about."

"We got this new thing we do every Friday night were we all go and hang out in a different game."

"Just a pie that you burn. You can do this with any pie."

"Guess that's pretty much all the news I got for you."

"Oh, man, your stories never disappoint. I just wish we can hang out sooner."

"When did you say you're getting those days off?"

Speaking of which, you want me to bring you anything from home when I come visit?"

"You know what I cannot find anywhere on the internet?"

"The sun's coming up already. Guess I better get to it."

"Did you like the movie, sweetie?"

Where You Are

"It's time you knew the village is all you need."

"The dancers are practicing. They dance to an ancient song."

"Who needs a new song? This old one's all we need."

"Tradition is our mission."

"We share everything we make."

"Don't walk away. Stay on the ground now."

"People will need a chief and there you are."

"There comes a day when you're gonna look around and realize happiness is where you are."

"The island gives us what we need."

"And no one lease."

"That's right, we stay. We're safe and we're well provided."

"When we look to the future, there you are."

"In time you'll learn just as I did you must find happiness right where you are."

"I like to dance with the water, the undertow and the waves."

"The water is mischievous. I like how it misbehaves."

"The village may think I'm crazy or say that I drift too far, but once you know what you like, well, there you are."

"You are your father's daughter, stubbornness and pride."

"Mind what he says, but remember you may hear a voice inside."

"If the voice starts to whisper to follow the farthest star? That voice inside if who you are."

"The village believes in us."

"Here I'll stay. My home, my people beside me."

"When I think of tomorrow, there we are."

"I'll lead the way. I'll have my people to guide me."

"We'll build our future together where we are."

"Every path leads you back to where you are."

"You can find happiness where you are."

How Far I'll Go

"I've been standing at the edge of the water long as I can remember never really knowing why."

"I wish I could be the perfect daughter."

"I come back to the water no matter how hard I try."

"Every road leads back to the place I know where I cannot go. Where I long to be."

"See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me."

"No one knows how far it goes."

"If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me one day I'll know."

"If I go there's just no telling how far I'll go."

"I know everybody on this island seems so happy on this island. Everything is by design."

"I know everybody on this island has a role on this island. So maybe I can roll with mine."

"I can lead with pride."

"I can make us strong."

"I'll be satisfied if I play along."

"The voice inside sings a different song. What is wrong with me?"

"See the light as it shines on the sea? It's blinding."

"No one knows how deep it does."

"It seems like it's calling out to me so come find me."

"What's beyond that line?"

"Will I cross that line?"

"If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me one day I'll know how far I'll go."

We Know The Way

"We read the wind and the sky when the sun is high."

"We sail the length of the seas on the ocean breeze."

"At night we name every star."

"We know where we are."

"We know who we are."

"We set a course to find a brand new island everywhere we roam."

"We keep our island in our mind."

"When it's time to find home we know the way."

"We are explorers reading every sign."

"We tell the stories of our elders in a never ending chain."

"We know the way."

How Far I'll Go (Reprise)

"All the time wondering where I need to be is behind me."

"I'm on my own to worlds unknown."

"Every trail I track is a choice I make."

"I can't turn back from the great unknown where I go alone."

"See her light up the night and the sea? She calls me."

"There's a moon in the sky and the wind is behind me."

"Soon I'll know how far I'll go."

You're Welcome

"I see what's happening. You're face to face with greatness and it's strange."

"You don't even know how you feel. it's adorable!"

"Well, it's nice to see that humans never change."

"Open your eyes. Let's begin."

"I know it's a lot: the hair, the bod; when you're staring at a demigod."

"What can I say except you're welcome."

"I'm just an ordinary demiguy."

"What has two thumbs and pulled up the sky when you were waddling yay high? This guy!"

"When the nights got cold who stole you fire from down below?"

"What can I say except you're welcome for the island I pulled from the sea?"

"There's no need to pray, it's okay. You're welcome."

"I guess it's just my way of being me."

"Come to think of it, kid? Honestly I could go on and on."

"I can explain every natural phenomenon."

"What is the lesson? What is the take-away?"

"The tapestry here on my skin is a map of the victories I win."

"Look where I've been. I make everything happen."

"Let me say you're welcome for the wonderful world you know."

"Well, come to think of it, I gotta go."

"It's your day to say you're welcome."

"You're welcome! And thank you!"

Shiny

"I was a drab little crab once."

"Now I know I can be happy as a clam, because I'm beautiful, baby."

"Did your granny say listen to your heart? Be who you are on the inside?"

"I need three words to tear her argument apart."

"Your granny lied."

"I'd rather be shiny like a treasure from a sunken pirate wreck."

"Scrub the deck and make it look shiny."

"I will sparkle like a wealthy women's neck."

"They chase anything that glitters. Beginners!"

"Here they come to the brightest thing that glitters."

"I just love free food. And you look like seafood."

"What a terrible performance. Get the hook!"

"You don't swing it like you used to, man."

"I have to give you credit for my start."

"For just like you, I made myself a work of art."

"I'll never hide. I can't."

"Watch me dazzle like a diamond in the rough."

"My stuff is so shiny."

"Send your armies, but they'll never be enough."

"You can try but you can't expect a demi-god to beat a decapod."

"You will die."

"It's time for me to take apart your aching heart."

"Far from the ones who abandoned you chasing the love of these humans who made you feel wanted."

"You tried to be tough, but your armor's just not hard enough."

"Ever seen someone so shiny?"

"Soak it in 'cause it's the last you'll ever see."

"C'est la vie, mon ami."

"Prepare your final plea just for me."

"You'll never quite as shiny."

I Am Moana (Song of the Ancestors)

"I know a girl from an island. She stands apart from the crowd."

"She loves the sea and her people."

"She makes her whole family proud."

"Sometimes the world seems against you."

"The journey may leave a scar, but scars can heal and reveal just where you are."

"The people you love will change you."

"The things you have learned will guide you."

"Nothing on Earth can silence the quiet voice still inside you."

"When that voice starts to whisper you've come so far. Listen."

"I am the girl who loves my island."

"I'm the girl who loves the sea. it calls me."

"I am the daughter of the village chief. We are descended from voyagers who found their way across the world."

"I've delivered us to where we are."

"I am everything I've learned and more."

"Still it calls me."

"The call isn't out there at all. It's inside me."

"It's like the tide, always falling and rising."

"I will carry you here in my heart."

"You remind me that come what may, I know the way."

Know Who You Are

"I have crossed the horizon to find you."

"I know your name."

"They have stolen the heart from inside you, but this does not define you."

"In the beginning there was only ocean until the mother island emerged."

"Her heart held the greatest power ever known."

"Without her heart, she began to crumble, giving birth to a terrible darkness."

"One day the heart will be found by someone who would journey beyond the reef."

"No one goes outside the reef. We're safe here."

"There is no darkness. There are no monsters."

"There is nothing beyond that reef but storm and rough sea. As long as we stay on our very island, we'll be fine."

"The legends are true. Someone will have to go."

"Who would want to go anywhere else?"

"Don't go out there. It's dangerous."

"You are the next great chief of our people."

"You'll do wonderous things, my little minnow."

"First you must learn where you're meant to be."

"I was only looking at the boats. I wasn't gonna get on them."

"There's something I need to show you. I've wanted to bring you here from the moment you opened your eyes."

"This is a sacred place. The place of chiefs."

"There will come a time when you will stand on this peak and place a stone on this mountain. Like I did. Like my father did."

"You are the future of our people."

"Every storm this roof leaks no matter how many fronds I add."

"He seems to lack the basic intelligence required for pretty much everything."

"Sometimes our strength lies beneath the surface. Far beneath in some cases."

"This suits you."

"What if we fished beyond the reef?"

"We have one rule."

"I didn't say go beyond the reef because I want to be on the ocean."

"He's hard on you because he was you."

"He couldn't save him. He's hoping he can save you."

"Sometimes who we wish we were, what we wish we can do, is just not meant to be."

"Whatever just happened, blame it on the pig."

"Are you gonna tell dad?"

"I'm his mom. I don't have to tell him anything."

"He was right. About going out there."

"Why aren't you trying to talk me out of it?"

"You said that's what you wanted."

"When I die, I'm going to come back as one of these."

"Why are you acting weird?"

"I'm the village crazy lady. That's my job."

"If there's something you want to tell me, just tell me. Is there something you want to tell me?"

"Is there something you want to hear?"

"You've been told all our people's stories but one."

"What is this place?"

"Do you really think our ancestors stayed within the reef?"

"The answer to the question you keep asking yourself. Who are you meant to be?"

"We were voyagers! Why'd we stop?"

"To protect our people, the ancient chiefs forbid voyaging. And now we have forgotten who we are."

"I was there that day. The ocean chose you."

"We were voyagers. We can voyage again."

"You told me to help our people. This is how we can help our people."

"I should've burned those boats a long time ago."

"There is no heart."

"There is nowhere you could go that I won't be with you."

"I know, not every day you get a chance to meet your hero."

"You are not my hero."

"It almost sounds like you don't like me, which is impossible."

"So what I believe you were trying to say is thank you."

"Did not see that coming."

"That is not a heart. It is a curse."

"I'm a demigod, okay?"

"Stop that. I will smite you. You wanna get smote? Smoten?"

"That thing doesn't give you power to create life. It's a homing beacon of death."

"If you don't put it away, bad things will come for it."

"You are gonna get us killed!"

"Murdering little pirates. Wonder what they're here for?"

"The ocean doesn't help you. You help yourself."

"Congratulations on not being dead. You surprised me."

"Ever defeat a lava monster?"

"I'm not going on a suicide mission with some...mortal."

"You'll be a hero. That's what you're about, right?"

"Little girl, I am a hero."

"You're no one's hero."

"Save the world. You'd be everyone's hero."

"Teach me to sail."

"It's called wayfinding. It's not just sails and knots. It's seeing where you're going in your mind, knowing where you are by knowing where you've been."

"I'm not a princess. I'm the daughter of a chief."

"If you wear a dress and you have an animal sidekick, you're a princess."

"You're not a wayfinder. You'll never be a wayfinder."

"Really? Blowdart in my buttcheek? You are a bad person."

"If you can talk, you can teach."

"Lesson one. Hit it."

"You're measuring the stars, not giving the sky a high-five."

"If the current's warm, you're going the right way."

"Enjoy your beauty rest?"

"You know, a real wayfinder never sleeps so they actually get where they need to go."

"Muscle up, buttercup."

"He's a scavenger. Collects stuff, things that look cool."

"Lalotai? Realm of monsters? We're going to the real of monsters?"

"I thought you stayed in the village. You know, kissing babies and things."

"Hey, I'm just trying to understand why your people decided to send...uh how do I phrase this...you."

"My people didn't send me. The ocean did."

"It chose me for a reason."

"The ocean straight up pooky dooks."

"I'm sure it's not wrong about you. You're the chosen one."

"The ocean chose you for a reason."

"If you start singing, I'm gonna throw up."

"It only appears after a human sacrifice. Kidding!"

"You can do this. Go."

"Sorry, I thought you were a monster."

"It's not getting screwed up by a mortal who has no business inside of a monster cave...except...maybe as bait."

"This is stupid. I'm just gonna walk up there."

"You go out there, he will kill you. Just stick to the plan."

"When he shows up, keep him distracted. Make him talk about himself. He loves bragging about how awesome he is."

"You two must get along perfectly."

"You're a funny looking little thing, aren't you?"

"Don't! It's my grandma's!"

"We mortals have heard the tales about the crab who became a legend, and I got to know."

"Hey! I got somethin' shiny for ya!"

"You can't run from me! Oh! You can! You keep surprising me!"

"There's only so far you can get on those two little legs."

"Listen, I appreciate what you did down there."

"I'm sorry. I'm tryin' to be sincere for once, and it feels like you're distracted."

"The point is for a little girl...child...thing...whatever who had no business being down there, you did me a solid."

"What can I say except we're dead soon."

"Can't you at least try?"

"Break time is over. Get up."

"How do you get your tattoos?"

"How did you earn that one? What's that for?"

"You need to stop doing that. Back off."

"You wanna tell me I don't know what I'm doing? I know I don't."

"I have no idea why the ocean chose me. You're right."

"It's just me and you. And I want to sleep, but I can't if you don't let me."

"I wasn't born a demigod. I had human parents. They took one look and decided they did not want me."

"You took the heart for them. You did everything for them. So they would love you."

"It was never enough."

"Maybe the gods found you for a reason. Maybe the ocean brought you to them because it saw someone who was worthy of being saved."

"The gods aren't the ones who made you. You are."

"That is literally the nicest thing you've ever said to me."

"I told you to turn back."

"I thought we could make it."

"I thought I could make it. We can fix it."

"It was made by the gods. You can't fix it."

"We still have to restore the heart."

"You have to restore the heart."

"We are only here because you stole the heart in the first place."

"We're here because the ocean told you you're special and you believed it."

"I'm not killing myself so you can prove you're something you're not."

"Why did you bring me here? I'm not the right person. You have to choose someone else. Choose someone else. Please."

"You are a long ways past the reef."

"Guess I chose the right tattoo."

"I tried. I couldn't do it."

"It's not your fault. I never should have put so much on your shoulders."

"If you're ready to go home. i will be with you."

"I've got your back, chosen one. Go save the world."

"It would be rude to reject a gift from a goddess."

"Thank you. Your kindness is deeply appreciated."

"You can come with us, you know. My people are going to need a master wayfairer."

Try Everything

"I messed up tonight."

"I lost another fight."

"i still mess up but I'll just start again."

"I keep falling down. I keep on hitting the ground, but I always get up and I see what's next."

"Birds don't just fly. They fall down and get up."

"Nobody learns without getting it wrong."

"I won't give up, no I won't give in, til I reach the end."

"I wanna try everything."

"I wanna try even though I could fail."

"Look how far you've come."

"You've filled your heart with love."

"Baby, you've done enough. Take a deep breath."

"Don't beat yourself up."

"Don't need to run so fast."

"Sometimes we come last, but we did our best."

"Fear, treachery, blood lust. Thousand of years ago, these were the forces that ruled our world when prey were scared of predators."

"Back then, the world was divided in two: vicious predators and meek prey."

"I don't have to cower in a herd anymore."

"I don't have to be a hunter anymore."

"I can make the world a better place."

"That is the most stupidest thing I ever heard!"

"It may seem impossible to small minds. I'm looking at you."

"Anyone can be anything."

"You ever wonder how your mom and me got to be so darn happy?"

"We gave up on our dreams and we settled."

"See? That's the beauty of complacency. If you don't try anything new, you'll never fail!"

"I like trying, actually."

"I guess I'll have to be the first one, because I am gonna make the world a better place."

"If you wanna talk about making the world a better place, no better way to do it than becoming a carrot farmer."

"Carrot farming is a noble profession."

"What are you gonna do? Cry?"

"You heard her. Cut it out."

"Don't tell me what I know!"

"You don't scare me."

"Cry, little baby! Cry!"

"You don't know when to quit, do you?"

"I want you to remember this the next time you think you will ever be anything."

"He was right about one thing. I don't know when to quit."

"You're gonna have to master all of them before you hit the streets or guess what? You'll be dead."

"I won't let you down. This has been my dream since I was a kid."

"You know, it's a real proud day for us little guys."

"It's a kind of proud-scared combo."

"I've been working for this my whole life."

"We're just a little excited for you. But terrified."

"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."

"I put some snacks in there."

"I will take this to make you stop talking."

"Terrific! Everyone wins!"

"Oh, cripes. Here come the waterworks."

"Don't expect us to apologize for it."

"Come on! He bared his teeth first!"

"I gotta tell you, you are even cuter than I thought you'd be!"

"You ready to make the world a better place?"

"There are some new recruits with us I should introduce, but I'm not going to because I don't care."

"You said there were fourteen missing cases."

"You probably forgot, but I was top of my class at the academy."

"Didn't forget. Just don't care."

"I don't know what you're doing skulking around during daylight hours, but I don't want any trouble in here."

"I'm not looking for trouble either, sir."

"Who the heck am I to crush his little dreams, huh? Right?"

"Gotta be about the worst birthday ever. Please don't be mad at me."

"I can't thank you enough. So kind, really. Can I pay you back?"

"No kiss bye-bye for daddy?"

"You kiss me tomorrow, I'll bite your face off!"

"I stood up for you and you lied to me! You liar!"

"It's called a hustle, sweetheart."

"You can't touch me. I've been doing this since I was born."

"You're gonna want to refrain from calling me carrots."

"Tell me if this story sounds familiar."

"Be careful now, or it won't just be your dreams getting crushed."

"How was your first day on the force?"

"It's the safest job on the force."

"Didn't you hear her conversation? She feels like a failure!"

"Tomorrow's another day..."

"Yeah, you're a real hero, lady!"

"My mommy says she wishes you were dead."

"My shop! It was just robbed! Look, he's getting away!"

"Stop in the name of the law!"

"I love your hair!"

"Shut your tiny mouth now!"

"I got the bad guy. That's my job."

"Do you think the Mayor asked what I wanted when he assigned you to me!?"

"Life isn't some cartoon musical where you sing a little song and your insipid dreams magically come true. So let it go."

"Let's not tell the mayor just yet!"

"I'd say the case is in good hands. Us little guys really need to...stick together, right?"

"Just call me if you ever need anything, okay? You've always got a friend at City Hall."

"Yikes! That is the smallest case file I've ever seen. Leads: none. Witnesses: none. And you're not in the compute system yet, so resources: none!"

"I hope you didn't stake your career on cracking this one!"

"It means I have a lead."

"You're gonna wake the baby. I gotta get to work."

"Well, it's my word against yours."

"She hustled you. She husteld you good!"

"You're a cop now. You're gonna need one of these."

"Have fun working with the fuzz!"

"Does this make you uncomfortable? Because if so, there's no shame in calling it quits."

"Boy, that's the spirit."

"I wish I had a memory like an elephant."

"I did what you asked! You can't keep me on the hook forever!"

"Way to hustle, bud. I love ya! i owe ya!"

"You wasted the day on purpose!"

"I have a fake badge. I would never impede your pretend investigation."

"What is your problem? Does seeing me fail somehow make you feel better about your own sad, miserable life?"

"So sad this is over. I wish I could've helped more!"

"Those are claw marks. You ever seen anything like this?"

"I'm not leaving. This is a crime scene."

"Long time no see! And speaking of no see, how about you forget you saw me, huh? For old time's sake?"

"What did you do that made him so mad at you?"

"Oh, sweet cheese and crackers."

"You come here unannounced on the day my daughter is to be married."

"The point is I did not know that it was your car, and I certainly did not know about your daughter's wedding!"

"I trusted you. I welcomed you into my home. We broke bread together. And how did you repay my generosity?"

"I told you never to show your face here again, but here you are, snooping around with this...what are you? A performer?"

"I didn't see nothing! I'm not saying nothing!"

"Ugh! What did we say? No icing anyone at my wedding!"

"I have to, baby. Daddy has to ice 'em."

"Hi! I love your dress!"

"You have done me a great service. I will help you."

"I will take your kindness and pay it forward."

"He's like a part of the family. He had something he wanted to discuss."

"We may be evolved, but deep down, we are still animals."

"You should be asking what happened to me!"

"He wan an animal! Down on all fours. He was a savage!"

"There was no warning. He just kept yelling about Night howlers. over and over."

"Oh, so you know about the night howlers too. Good, good, good. Because the Night howlers are exactly what we are here to talk about, right?"

"Clever fox."

"I can tell you're a little tense, so I'm just gonna give you a little personal space!"

"Whatever you do, do not let go."

"Well, this should be good."

"I thought this was just a missing case, but it's way bigger."

"Savage? This isn't the stone age."

"Sir, I know what I saw. He almost killed us."

"Sorry, what I said was no. She will not be giving you that badge."

"So if you'll excuse us, we have a very big lead to follow and a case to crack. Good day."

"Never let 'em see that they get to you."

"So...things do get to you?"

"I think I was eight or maybe nine, and all I wanted to do was join the Junior Ranger Scouts."

"I was gonna be part of a pack."

"Ready for initiation?"

"Now raise your right paw and deliver the oath."

"I promise to be brave, loyal, helpful, and trustworthy!"

"What did I do wrong, you guys!? No, please! Tell me what did I do wrong?"

"If you thought we would ever trust a fox without a muzzle, you're even dumber than you look."

"I learned two things that day. One: I was never gonna let anyone see that they got to me."

"If the world's only gonna see a fox as shifty and untrustworthy, there's no point in trying to be anything else."

"You are so much more than that."

"I'm glad you told me."

"So fluffy!"

"Sheep never let me get this close."

"You can't just touch a sheep's wool!"

"It's like cotton candy!"

"He did not care for that. Let me tell you, it was not a good day for me."

"I thought you were going to cancel my afternoon."

"You think when she goes to sleep she counts herself?"

"Bet ya a nickel one of them's gonna howl."

"I mean, what is it with wolves and howling?"

"Well, look at you Junior detective. You know, I think you'd actually make a pretty good cop."

"Quit it! You're gonna start a howl!"

"Your wife sent me to find you. We're gonna get you out of here now."

"Guess he's in no rush to get home to the missus!"

"I don't want excuses, doctor. I want answers."

"Please. We are doing everything we can."

"Sir, it may be time to consider their biology."

"What? What do you mean biology?"

"Great! We're dead! We're dead, that's it! I'm dead, you're dead, everybody's dead!"

"You have the app too?"

"You don't understand! I was trying to protect the city!"

"Press conference 101. You wanna look smart, answer their question with your own question and then answer that question."

"You should be up there with me. We did this together."

"Well, am I a cop? No. No I am not."

"Funny you should say that because, well, I've been thinking it would be nice to have a partner."

"All we know is that they are all members of the predator family."

"What is being done to protect us?"

"Uh, that's all the time we have. No more questions."

"That went so fast! I didn't get a change to mention you or say anything about how we..."

"Oh, I think you said plenty."

"Stop it! You're not like them!"

"You know what I mean. You're not that kind of predator."

"Are you afraid of me? Do you think I might go nuts? Do you think I might go savage?"

"Just when I thought somebody actually believed in me, huh?"

"We can't even trust our own friends?!"

"it's a crazy, beautiful diverse city where we celebrate our differences."

"This is not the city I know. The city I know is better than this."

"We cannot let fear divide us. Please give me back the city I love."

"Come on. The new mayor wants to see us."

"It would seem you've arrived."

"I'm not a hero. I came here to make the world a better place, but I think I broke it."

"Don't give yourself too much credit. The world has always been broken."

"With all due respect, sir, a good cop is supposed to serve and protect, help the city, not tear it apart."

"I don't deserve this badge."

"You've worked so hard to get here. It's what you wanted since you were a kid. You can't quit."

"Why did I think I could make a difference?"

"You've always been a trier."

"Oh, I tried. And I made life so much worse for so many innocents."

"I'm sorry for the way I behaved in my youth. I had a lot of self-doubt and it manifested itself in the form of unchecked rage and aggression."

"I was a major jerk."

"Well, I know a thing or two about being a jerk."

"Savage? Well, that's a strong word, but it did hurt like the devil."

"Thank you! I love you! Bye!"

"That makes me feel a little bit better. I thought she was talking in tongues or something."

"Wow. Isn't that interesting?"

"I know you'll never forgive me, and I don't blame you, I wouldn't forgive me either."

"I was ignorant and irresponsible and small-minded. But others shouldn't suffer because of my mistakes."

"I have to fix this, but I can't do it without you."

"After we're done you can hate me and...and that'll be fine, because I was a horrible friend and I hurt you."

"You dirty rat! Why are you helping her! She's a cop!"

"Ice this weasel."

"I'll buzz you when it's done or you'll see it on the news. You know, whichever comes first."

"Where are you going? Get back here! What are you doing, he's gonna see you!"

"Well I can cross that off the bucket list."

"I may have to rescind that victory toot-toot."

"Maybe some of the evidence survived."

"Everything is gone. We've lost it all."

"I'm so proud of you. You did just a super job."

"I'm not gonna leave you behind. That's not happening."

"We're on the same team. Underestimated, underappreciated. Aren't you sick of it?"

"What are you gonna do? Kill me?"

"Turns out, real life is a little bit more complicated than a slogan on a bumper sticker. Real life is messy."

"We all have limitations. We all make mistakes. Which means, hey glass half full, we all have a lot in common."

"The more we try to understand one another, the more exceptional each of us will be."

"I implore you. Try. Try to make the world a better place."

"Look inside yourself and recognize that change starts with you. It starts with me. It starts with all of us."

"You should have your own line of inspirational greeting cards sir!"
