"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?"

"[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."

"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."

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

"[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."

"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."

"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."

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

"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]: 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."

"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."

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

"[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."

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

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

"[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?"

"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]: 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."

"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?"

"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]: 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."

"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."

"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?"

"[If you don't have enough gems]: Hello there, Spyro. How do you like my new space monkey action figure? Incredibly life-like, Don't you think? You'd almost think he was actually intelligent, Heh heh. I suppose I might consider selling him to you... But you'll have to come up with a bit more cash, First."

"Well, Well, Spyro. Look what I have here. It's a life-size space monkey action figure, Complete with a fully operational laser! I'd love to let him out so you can play with him, But the Sorceress seems to think he's a menace."

"[If you don't have enough gems]: Hmph... These gnomes think they're so talented... I happen to know a pretty good magic trick, Myself! It's called the... Incredible... Magical... Err, Extending bridge trick. However, You'll need a few more gems to make a donation... After all, I am just a poor, Starving amateur magician..."

"Spyro, did you know that I happen to be a very talented amateur magician? My specialty is the, Err... 'Amazing Extending Bridge' trick. I'd love to show you, But I'll need a small donation, First... For my expenses, You understand..."

"I'm afraid the show's over, Spyro. Why don't you go play with the gnomes? I think they look lonely."

"[If you don't have enough gems]: I am dreadfully sorry, Spyro, But I can't allow common riff-raff into the Tomb of the Stone Golem. Only the crustiest of the upper-crusts may pass through here."

"Well, Spyro. I bet you're glad to see me! It just so happens that I know the, Err... Password to open the door to the Tomb of the Stone Golem... But, Err... It seems to have slipped my mind for the moment... If you know what I mean."

"OK, There was no password. I was standing in front of the wall switch. What are you going to do? Sue me?"

"Don't worry, Spyro. I won't be needing anymore of your money... Now, now, Don't look so surprised! I found one of the dragon eggs and I'm going to sell it for a fortune back in Avalar! Errr... Uh-oh... Why are you looking at me like that? I, Errr.. Heh heh... I've to be going now. Uh, Toodles."

"[panting] Drat! [panting] Double drat! [panting] [Rapidly] Drat! Drat! Drat! Drat! Drat! Drat! Drat! Drat! Drat! I never knew dragons were so fast... That's it... I give up... I'm retiring to Spooky Swamp to become a haiku poet."

"Ahh, home at last. Here, I was saving this to make an omelet, but I think you deserve it more."

"You see that Rhynoc guy up ahead? He's still mad at us for hanging his underpants on top of this tree! Heehee... We'll just stand here, while you give him a swift kick!"

"Last time we tried to get past this moose, he knocked Billy clean through a wall! If you don't mind, we'll just stay over here, while you give him a good kicking!"

"Hey, Sheila, let's play a joke! Take this egg, and smash it on Billy's house, okay? I need to get him back for the last time he butted me off the cliff!"

"Thanks for the help, Sheila. You can have this egg I found in my house."

"Hey, Spyro! They're Rhynocs everywhere! Maybe I can find some peace and quiet at the top of the tower."

"Hi, Spyro. If you bring someone back from each of the 5 worlds, we'll have enough weight to pull down this balloon for you."

"Let's head on over to the balloon!"

"This balloon will take you to a land closer to the Sorceress, Spyro. You can also use it to come back here whenever you want to."

"Thanks for freeing me. Why don't you come visit me in my homeworld?"

"Thanks again, Spyro! Now I have to find out what that nasty Sorceress has done to our home while I was locked up."

"I better go check on those billy goats again. Last time I left them alone, they ate all the shingles off the roof."

"Whoo! That was fun! I tell you, Spyro, kicking Rhynoc butt just never gets old!"

"Well, I'm off to clean off the mess those Rhynocs left behind."

"Goodbye, Spyro! I'm sure I'll see you around."

"You dragons used to rule this entire world, you know. Then all of a sudden, you left."

"This swamp smells so sweet. The springtime trees are fragrant. I'm off to kick butt."
