"Hey! What's your deal? How do you know about the map and the Crystal Stars? Have you been talking to Princess Peach, or... Wait, what am I saying? The real question is, who the heck are you freaks?"

"Ooh, that's them! They're the ones who had the... Wait a minute... What? You've been waiting for Mario? What's THAT supposed to mean, you weirdo?"

"Oh, I TOTALLY know how you feel! When I go out, I am all about the accessories! ...Hey! Wait a sec'! You lost your NECKLACE? I'm having deja vu, big-time! I swear, someone just said they FOUND a necklace..."

"These are the Boggly Woods... They sure look... boggling. Ooh! I've got butterflies!"

"X-Nauts? Easy there, kid. What in the world are you freaking out about? We're not gonna do anything to you, so chill for a sec'! Just tell us what's going on."

"You're one of the creatures from Boggly Woods, right? What are you doing here?"

"Mario! Did you see that? That was one of the things Professor Frankly described!"

"Ooh! Check it out, Mario! The location of the next Crystal Star has appeared. But, I... I... I have NO idea where that is! OK... I guess we oughta let Professor Frankly tell us where that place is."

"OK, Mario! You ready? Hold that Crystal Star up!"

"Wow! Wait a second... Isn't that from Princess Peach? THE princess? So that means she's OK! At least she's not hurt... But it sounds like whoever kidnapped Princess Peach is also after the Crystal Stars..."

"Ooh, is that a Mailbox SP? Cool! With the light? Hey, who's that mail from?"

"Mario? Are you OK? You're totally shaking... Do you need a bathroom?"

"Yes! We did it, Mario! All we have to do now is search for that Crystal Star we can't seem to locate."

"That's it! Enough of this! Let's finish him off once and for all, Mario!"

"That's just terrible!"

"What is WITH that girl? What a flirt! Who acts so disgusting like that?"

"H-HEY! You little flirt! Who do you think you are, kissing Mario?!?"

"LET us?!? LET us?!? What's that supposed to mean?"

"I'll tell you why, Miss Ugly-Pink-Shoe-Whatever-Thief: we're here to beat Hooktail! And just so we're clear on this, we set our sights on the Crystal Star before you! OK?"

"Who... Who are you?"

"What's with these numbskulls? Ow! OWWW! Watch it, Pushy! They're shoving me around, Mario! What should we do?"

"So, Hooktail Castle, huh? Well... it sure is ominous, that's for sure."

"Well, here we are! The Petal Meadows, where folks say a Crystal Star hides. Woo hoo! Here we go, Mario! The start of our adventure! This is completely awesome!"

"Omigosh! Is… Isn't that a treasure map?! You HAVE to tell me where you got that!"

"I must research this more. Assuming will just make an... Well, you know the saying."

"Word on the street was that some mustached doofus was in Glitzville... and lookee here! Talk about perfect timing! And now all these folks get to watch me murdalize you!"

"(Thinking) It's Hag Vs. Hag! Awesome!"

"You got it, Haggy!"

"A picnic?!? You MORON! This is no time for fun! See, THIS is why my evil plans always derail! Because you clods always goof off! AAARGH!"

"Pbbbthbtth! Am I Mario's baby-sitter? I don't care what he's doing! Are you going to call me every time that guy blows his nose, or what? Sheesh!"

"Boy... Do I even HAVE a less handsome side? Any way you look at this, it's perfect! When this world is mine, these statues are gonna be mandatory in all households!"

"If I AM insane, why aren't I seeing fluffy pink rabbits right now?"

"You are about to take the first steps of the longest journey of your life."

"Have you ever had a dream so real… you are not sure if you are awake or still dreaming?"

"Ah, curses and damnation, and all things mean and ugly… fine!"

"No. No-no-no. That's so disgusting. No one told me I was gonna be pecking pigeon crap when I joined up for this adventure."

"Oh, bloody typical. I told her, she didn't believe me — girls always disappear on me. Always."

"Don't blame a bird for trying to be a gentleman… gentlebird."

"All right, all right, I'll do it. I'm the ever faithful Crow."

"It's chilly out here. You should really be wearing a sweater, doll. You don't wanna catch a cold, not with the fate of the known cosmos on your shoulders!"

"I never got into that whole PC thing. "It's not tyrocks, it's the Tyren. Don't say chicks, say birds. Don't say birds, say women." I dunno, it's all a little too complicated for a simple man of the air like myself."

"It seems for every "normal" person (and I mean that in the broadest possible sense), there are five or six strange obtuse, meandering creatures with a tendency to speak really slowly and say things like "Who are you?" and "I see your path, April, and it's not an easy one" and "it is destiny". Like, hello, update your vocabulary already! Learn some new words, lighten up, wear plaid, whatever."

"Okay, April, it is getting a little sentimental here, but who can blame me? I've worked hard to get them talking, damn it, so I deserve a little credit!"
