"Say, Spyro. You're a sports fan, Aren't you? As you probably know, Frozen Altars is the birth-place of the great sport of cat hockey. Today's match is sold out, Of course, But I just happen to have a spare ticket that I'll sell you for, Say... A teensy Weensy markup?"

"[If you don't have enough gems]: You had better hurry up and find some cash, Spyro. Today's cat hockey match is about to start and I can't let you in without a ticket."

"Heh heh... I'd hate to spoil the game for you, Spyro, But I already bribed the local team to forfeit to the rhynocs."

"[If you don't have enough gems]: Good grief, Dragon! What happened to all your money? How am I supposed to swindle... Err... Heh heh... Help you, If you can't even find any gems?"

"Stop talking to me. I hate speaking in Haiku. Just go find some gems..."

"Heh heh, The Sorceress has a real prize in her hands here... It took two-dozen rhynocs to capture this dim-witted furball. So you'd better believe he's not going to get out cheap..."

"[If you don't have enough gems]: Say, Spyro. If you had a bit more money, I think I could make a deal with the wizards to raise these steps. I'm afraid it's the only way you'll be able to get to the castle."

"I have to hurry in, Myself. I'm one of the judges for tonight's performance."

"Step right up, Spyro. Behind this door lies the single greatest show on earth! That's right, Ice dancing! Season tickets are available, But you'll have to act fast."

"[If you don't have enough gems]: I can't let you through. You're too poor to pass this door. Come back with more cash."

"Ahh, my good friend, Spyro. The Sorceress caught this naughty bird letting off rockets in her fireworks factory, but I'll be willing to release him into your custody, provided you pay his outstanding fines."

"[If you don't have enough gems]: Get away from me, Dragon. You've got no money! Come back when you find some gems..."

"[If you don't have enough gems]: Just between you and me, Spyro, I'd love to let you into the ice dancing competition for free. Really, I would. Unfortunately, The upkeep on my Zamboni is costing a fortune. So I'll have to ask you to find more gems before I can let you in."

"This door is jammed shut. Only the power of gems can hope to move it."

"Well, Spyro. Today is your lucky day! The wizards and I have worked out a little deal. If you simply pay a small toll, They'll be happy to raise these steps and let you pass."

"Heh heh... I haven't made such easy money since the Sorceress bought that mayonnaise for sunscreen."

"Well, Well, If it isn't my favorite dragon! The Sorceress has put me in charge of guarding these bellows. However, I might look the other way if I was distracted by counting gems."

"[If you don't have enough gems]: Well, Spyro. It's good to see you! This gate I'm guarding happens to be the secret entrance for an egg thief hideout... Of course, I can't let you in with a clean conscience... At least not without paying a small fee."

"I'm getting paid a fortune to keep Sheila the Kangaroo locked up. [chuckles] The pesky animal must've been causing a lot of trouble to that poor old Sorceress. I suppose I could "accidentally" let the kangaroo escape if you were to pay me say, uh... a small fee?"

"The Sorceress has asked me to guard Sheila the Kangaroo. I suppose if you had a bit more money, I'd be willing to let her escape, then you can keep her for a pet, or something..."

"[If you don't have enough gems]: Sorry, Spyro. It is my sworn duty to make certain no one crosses these bellows and you know perfectly well that nothing could ever persuade me from obeying my sworn duty... That is, Ahem, Until you have a few more gems."

"Spyro, You're just in time! I saw two egg thieves run through this door! Well... Actually, They paid me to guard their hideout, But that's irrelevant. I'll happily let you through the gate to chase them down for, Ahem, A small finder's fee."

"Listen carefully, you stupid girl! I'm going to ask you one more time - why haven't you disposed of that infernal dragon?!"

"What did you think I was going to do with all those dragons? Open a zoo?!"

"Tally ho, Spyro, I'm sure I'll see you around!"

"I guess those egg thieves are going to get what's coming to them... It's too bad... I always sort of liked those guys."

"I don't know how she did it, Spyro, but the Sorceress must have survived that last battle! She's been waiting here all this time, saving up her magic to destroy you!"

"You know, Come to think of it, The wizards only agreed to raise the steps. They never said they wouldn't lower them again... Heh heh... Those guys must be pretty clever, Aren't they?"

"(Last line of the game) Your best chance of defeating her is to borrow my flying saucer. I've cast some spells on it to give it extra fire power & unlimited flying time, but the rest is going to be up to you. You've come this far, Spyro. I know you can beat her!"

"I hope the rest of the dragons come back here, someday."

"Excellent. Maybe you will amount to something after all. Now, go guard the tunnels. Stop anyone from coming through!"

"Spyro! My, my, how funny to see you here. Why, I haven't seen you since we defeated Ripto in Avalar. [chuckles] Well, my business went into a slump after you left, so I came here and struck up a nice deal with the local Sorceress. Lovely woman, she is. Seems to be rather fond of dragons, too."
