Season one
editNight of No Tomorrow
edit- Merlin: I am a great magician, but the one thing I cannot do is grow hair.
The Eye of the Beholder
edit- Presto: It must be a hundred and twenty degrees in the shade, and there isn't any shade!
- Eric: Did you hear what he said? No telling what we may run into!
- Dungeon Master: [appears from behind a rock] No telling?
- Eric: Aaah! Dungeon Master! Do you always have to do that?!
- Dungeon Master: No, not always.
- Uni: (panicked bleating)
- Eric: For once, I agree with you, Uni.
- Presto: Powers that come and go in the night, banish these snail-things from my sight!
- [his hat covers his head with a bucket]
The Hall of Bones
edit(when the kids weapons lose energy)
- Bobbi: I'll take care of them...I think my batteries are dead
- Eric: Quick! Under my shield...they'll never break through this...HUH?
(when the kids witness a battle between Venger and Tiamat)
- Venger: Bow down to your MASTER!
- Tiamat: I HAVE NO MASTER!
- Eric: Maybe there will be one less dragon?
- Shelia: BUT OUR WEAPONS DON'T WORK!
- Presto: Maybe there will be one less Venger!
Valley of the Unicorns
edit(after Uni tries to transport away)
- Kelek: Such a PITY YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO learn THE EXTENT Of your POWERS! AND such a tragedy YOU WON'T HAVE TIME
- Presto: Well, that should do it. Venger should be here any minute-
- Venger: Where?
- Presto: Right here! Don't you think- [finally notices him; screams]
- Hank: It's our fault Silvermane's here; maybe this "trick" gets him back.
- Eric: And maybe it gets us ZAPPED BY KELEK!
- Kelek: IT DOES, INDEED.
- Kelek: Venger!
- Venger: Greetings, Kelek. Do forgive my... intrusion.
- Kelek: Of course.
- Venger: Of course what?
- Kelek: Of course... master.
- Venger: That is better. I must thank you, Kelek. For keeping the unicorn horns, for keeping them safe, for ME...
- Kelek: The Horns are MINE! The Power is MINE! NOW YOU SHALL CALL me MASTER!
In Search of Dungeon Master
edit- Dungeon Master: (gleefully, easily fighting off monsters) I haven't done this in years! I'd forgotten how much fun this kind of thing could be.
(when the kids are on a narrow ledge; Presto looks over the edge)
- Presto: If you fall..You don't have to worry about hitting bottom....THERE ISN'T ONE.
- Orc: Orc want to welcome YOU.
- Diana: Where do you want to welcome US to?
- Orc': The Slave Mines of Deamore, where else.
- Presto: We're in trouble.
- (Shadow Demon bumps into Venger and gasps)
- Venger: Well, what is it?
- Shadow Demon: Ah, I have news.
- Venger: Yes?
- Shadow Demon: Warduke has captured Dungeon Master!
- Venger: Unlikely.
- Shadow Demon: I saw him.
- Venger: (disbelieving) You saw him?
- Shadow Demon: Warduke says Dungeon Master is yours- for the right price.
- Venger: "The right price"?! Warduke has either become very brave.... or very stupid. However, I've waited many years for Dungeon Master to make his mistake; I will see to it that it's his last.
- Venger: The Life force has left him...and for you the game is up
Beauty and the Bogbeast
edit- Eric: Well, what are you waiting for? Just point us the way Home!
- Dungeonmaster: I'm afraid it's not that easy.
- Shelia: I knew it, there's always a catch.
Prison Without Walls
edit- Eric: Go transplant yourself, you walking weed!
- Presto: I wonder if we'll ever find a way out of this world.
- Dungeon Master: You will one day, Magician. With each brave deed, you grow more worthy. You will be rewarded, in time.
- Eric: In time for what - our retirement?
Servant of Evil
edit- Presto: Where's Dungeon Master when you need him?
- Eric: Forget Dungeon Master, we need a SWAT team!
Quest of the Skeleton Warrior
edit- Eric: (to Dungeon Master) What's the catch this time, Your Shortness?
- Shelia: Eric, we're lost EVERYWHERE in this World... that's why we have to stick together.
- Bobby: All right, you bag of bones- try picking on somebody my size!
(when the kids stand before the lost tower)
- Shelia: Its so skinny! What holds it up? (when they go inside)
- Dekinah:Magic...the same magic that prevents me from entering
- Dinah: That's impossible! It's bigger inside than outside!
- Presto: Now THAT's magic!
- Shelia: Hey...Everybody...wait for meeee (screams as she falls through hole)
- Bobbi: SHELIA....SHELIA....SHELIA
- Eric: Ow! What genius stuck a tree in the middle of the hallway?
- Presto: Uh, Eric.... (looks around) I think the tree's in the right place, and we're not.
(when the Tower traps the Kids with their deepest fears)
- Shelia: Hank...BOBBI...Presto...Common...Anybody... you know I've scared to be alone
- Hank: Some leader I turned out to be...!
- Eric: (screams after being trapped by a ghost sheet and turned into a buffon) This isn't funny Presto, do something...
- Presto: (panics after his glasses are taken by a flying demon) Hey, my glasses...I CAN'T SEE.
- Bobby: (Bobby and Dinah see reflections of themselves..Bobby as a helpless baby and Dinah as a helpless old crone) That's not us is it?...Dinah?
- Dinah: I'm getting OLDER...and you are getting younger.
- Eric and Presto are pursued by winged demons
- Presto: Oh no, I am unsure about all of them!
- Eric: Presto, for once stop worrying and just concentrate on working a powerful spell. Try summoning an aircraft carrier for instance!
- Eric: Well, you did stop them! (above apparently as written in script-but not used)
- Eric: Pull something useful out of the that dumb hat..like an aircraft carrier!
- Presto: Abra kaDavy! Bring us the United States Navy! (creates an aircraft carrier; demons all hit the stern headfirst)
- Dechyon: Yes.... a traitor and a liar.... and I have suffered for it!
- Dungeon Master: He's right, Cavalier: evil deeds do return to their source. They always come full circle, and their evil will never end until the circle is broken.
- Dechyon: You have what you want, Venger! Release me from your spell!
- Venger: You did not bring me the Circle, Dechyon. I seized it myself. I owe you nothing. But soon, you shall have six more skeleton warriors to keep you company! (attacks Hank, attempting to transform him into a skeleton)
The Garden of Zinn
edit(Eric and Bobbi try to catch a small creature for breakfast, which escapes down a hole, but they are reduced to looking mad at one another)
- Diana: (struggling to reel in a fish) It's bigger than I thought!
- Presto: Maybe lunch for seven?
- (a sea monster rises from the water)
- Sheila: More like seven for lunch!
- Eric: (finds a bag of food) Holy cow! I must be dreaming! Hello? Anyone belong to this food here? (normal) No? Good.
- Hank: Hang on, Eric. Don't you notice anything strange?
- Eric: Strange? We're walking through the Valley of Smoke, looking for pickled dragon's feet. What could be strange?
- Dungeon Master: The right road is not the left.
- Eric: That's the real Dungeon Master, all right.
The Box
edit- Eric: "Nothing"? First there's something valuable in it, then there's pain and horror in it, and now there's nothing in it! I think there's nothing in his head.
- Eric: Oh, I get it: there's something in the box and nothing in the box and the nothing is valuable but the something is horrible, and if we open it in the right place we get nothing, which is good, but if we open it in the wrong place we get something, which is horrible. I love this little guy!
(after presto and Eric fall through Twilight zone holes)
- Presto/Eric: AAAAAHHHHH!!!
(they stop falling)
- Eric: We're saved! We're saved... (finds they're on a giant wasp)
- Eric: WE'RE NOT saved....AAAAAHHHHH!
(after escaping giant wasps the kids try to get out of a "Twlight zone" dimension)
- Bobby: Who closed the opening?
- Eric': I forgot to tell you...Shadowdemon closed the box.
- Dinah': You MEAN WERE TRAPPED?
- Shilah: IN ANOTHER WORLD?
- Eric: SO what else is new?
- (after briefly making it home, the kids are forced to return to the Realm after Venger follows them there)
- Dinah: If we stay here Venger will destroy our world!
- Presto: If we give him our weopons, he'll conquer Dungeonmaster and the Realm!
- Eric: (laughs) Those saps can go back if they want to; not me. Nope, I'm home, and I'm staying.... Nothing can make me change my mind-
- (Venger rides up behind him on Nightmare, who is literally breathing down his neck)
- Venger: Give me that shield.
- Eric: (panics) I've changed my mind. Hank, wait for me! (after the kids return to the Realm)
- Eric: Hurry ...if we closed the box Venger will be trapped forever.
- Hank: No way...He'll be trapped in our world.
- Presto: By the time we'd get back..he'll take over the planet.
The Lost Children
edit- Presto: Sorry, Eric. My hat doesn't work too well when it's wet.
- Eric: Or any other time.
- Sofar: So how old are you?
- Bobbi: Almost 10.
- Sofar: Gosh so you are allowed to go out on your own? I wasn't allowed to go out on my own until I was....55!
- Bobby: 55! HOW OLD ARE YOU NOW?
- Lost Child: 74.
- Shelia: Alfore...I've come with the lost children to rescue you.
- Alfore/Venger: How thoughtful...only its not I who needs rescue..IT IS YOU (changes into Venger)
- Shelia: VENGER!
- Presto: (to the lost children, seeing Alfore) He's one of you?
- Bobby: You're one of him?
- Uni: (confused noises)
- Eric: You guys grow up to be Wookiees?!
- Eric: Ha! I wouldn't fly in that thing if Venger was standing right next to me. (Venger comes up behind Eric)
- Venger: SEIZE THEM!
- Presto: Magic hat, I'm gonna be frank: What we need now is a twenty-ton tank. (a magic toy tank comes out of his hat)
- Eric: So Pop how long do you think you can get this jalopy up and running again?
- Alfore: Oh not long...say 15 years!
- {Lost Child}: THAT SOON?
P-R-E-S-T-O Spells Disaster
edit(after Presto's whirlwind spell goes out of control toward the kids)
- Hank: Presto shut it down!
- Presto: I DON'T KNOW HOW!
- Presto: Nice going Presto! First you loose your friends and then Uni. Some magician you are! Why don't you do everyone a favor and make yourself disappear?
Season two
editThe Girl Who Dreamed of Tomorrow
edit- Bobby: Sure..we'll get the kid Home!
- Shelia: Bobby that's RUDE...Terri is the same age you are. (Bobby and Terri ride the chicken lizards before falling off)
- Terri (laughs): Where did you learn to ride?
- Bobby (laughs): NO place... I don't know how!
(Eric puts his shield up to screen Bobby; Terri and Uni from the Hydra's fire)
- Bobby: Eric what are you doing?
- Eric: Being stupid what else!
(after the kids are trapped within the Maze of Darkness)
- Eric: Melted SHUT! THREE GUESSES WHO DID IT!
- Bobby: VENGER.
(when the Maze of Darkness almost drives the kids insane and against one another)
- Hank: Wait you guys...Stop it...KNOCK IT OFF.
(after escaping the Maze, the kids are confronted by Venger)
- Venger: Afraid? Be not, you are free to use the portal to enter your World...But first bring her to ME.
- Dinah: YOU WANT HER....COME AND GET HER! (after Bobby carries Terri to the portal)
- Bobby: Terri, you go on..through...we staying, we gotta stop this place from TRAPPING ANYONE ELSE.
- Terri: I'm not going without you.
- Bobby: Sorry Terri.
- Terri: You'll find a way out of this crazy world...Bobby the Barbarian, remember what the Dungeonmaster said to me... (Terri and Fritz go through the portal to the amusement park)
The Treasure of Tardos
edit- Eric: (to Dungeon Master) What this time, oh terrible tour guide?
- Eric: You're the leader, what do we do?
- Hank: The only thing we can do - run!
- Eric: (running) I coulda thought of that!
- Hank: (disbelieving) Make friends with Venger?
- Eric: Oh, sure - how are we supposed to do that?
- Presto: Buy him another horn for his helmet?
- Venger: Beware what you say when you speak of magic, wizard, or you shall see who has the greater power. As for you, Ranger, you have destroyed that which I created. How, I am not yet certain, but you have restored the balance. Now, we are even. The next time we meet.... EXPECT NO FAVORS.
- Hank: LIKEWISE, Venger.
- Venger: (leaving) SO BE IT.
- Sheila: Hey.... you think maybe Venger's not all bad?
- Eric: Sure, and Genghis Khan was a stand-up comic.
- Dungeon Master: (far behind) You are wrong, Cavalier. There was good in Venger, once. A long time ago. Everyone makes mistakes. Venger was mine.
City at the Edge of Midnight
edit- Eric: Oh, come on, I know exactly where we are!
- Presto: Yeah, a hundred miles from nowhere and fifty miles from anyplace.
- Dungeon Master: Patience, young ones. You will find both safety, and danger ahead.
- Sheila: Do we have to find both?
- Eric: What do you mean, "we"? "We" means us! Me and them! I know who they are! They know who I am! But who are you?!
- Sheila: (cornered) Uh-oh! End of the road!
- Bobby: [Turns] You mean for them.
- Presto: Aw, Hank, can't we stay? Ramuud's awfully nice.
- Diana: Yeah, it's the next best thing to having a real dad.
- Eric: (depressed) Are you kidding? He's better than my dad ever was.
- Jimmy: Hi, Sheila! Hi, Bobby! How did you guys get in my dream?
- Sheila: Dream? This is real!
- Eric: As soon as you get home, call our parents!
- Bobby: Tell them we're okay! Tell them everything's okay!
- Hank: We'll be home as soon as we find a portal back!
- Jimmy: Wait a minute, are you guys cracked? This is Sunday night, you guys went to the amusement park and I couldn't go because I had homework, remember? And I'm asleep now, and this is just a dream.
- Presto: No, no! I-It's real, and we're lost! Tell our parents!
- Jimmy: I'm sure! Look, I'll see you in the morning at school, okay? Then you can show me another one of your dumb card tricks, eh, "Presto"? (laughs) See you around, guys. (disappears)
The Traitor
edit- Cloud Bear: (describing "The Green Ones") They have ugly flat noses, and tusks that stick up, and mean eyes!
- Presto: Wait a minute, I know that description. (walks off, thinking) It's coming.... it's coming- (walks into Orc captain) Aaaahhh! It's here!
- Eric: We're outnumbered ten to one!
- Diana: All right, then, you take two, I'll take eighteen.
- Orc: (mocking Hank after he has been exiled from the Cloud Bear city) What's the matter, human? Got no friends no more?
Day of the Dungeonmaster
edit- Dungeon Master: There are many matters that require my attention, Cavalier. The life of a Dungeon Master is not an easy one.
- Eric: Are you kidding me? You have all this power and you never even use it! Boy, if I was Dungeon Master, I'd have it made!
- Dungeon Master: What an interesting proposition! And it's true, I could use a little rest. Very well, Cavalier, I ACCEPT YOUR OFFER.
- Presto: Just how far is it to this city, Eric?
- Eric: How am I supposed to know?
- Presto: You're Dungeon Master, remember?
- Eric: Oh. Right. Let's see, what would Dungeon Master say? (in a riddle-like tone) "You will find it, unless it finds you first; it is a long way off- yet in truth, it is very near!" (normal) How was that?
- (the other kids boo him)
(after Eric opens a portal to the kids world)
- Eric: We'll have to leave our weapons here.
- Bobbi: Can't we take her [Uni] with us?
- Eric: I'm sorry she would not survive in our world. My magic will protect her.
- Eric: Hurry! Get through the portal before it closes! I'll hold Venger off!
- Hank: You're crazy. He's got our weapons and the Grimoire! What makes you think you can stop him?
- Eric: Because I have to! Because ....I'M DUNGEON MASTER!
- Eric: Not a chance, Horn-Head! C'mon! Take your best shot! Put up your dukes, let's see what you've got. Only one of us will survive this fight, and it's not gonna be ME! .... That's NOT RIGHT.
- Venger: (advancing) Did you really believe a child like you could be Dungeon Master? This is your WORST mistake ever here, and it will be your LAST.
The Last Illusion
edit- Eric: (imprisoned) "Regular"? We're giant-sized! C'mon! What's the matter with you guys? So we don't have our weapons - we still got our voices!
- Bobby: Huh?
- Eric: (shouting and banging a plate against the window) I wanna see my lawyer! There's no TV in my cell! What about my phone call? I demand my riiights! [...] ...I've never been in a prison with such bad food! There's no ketchup on my French fries! And there's no French fries! HEY!
- Sheila: But how are we going to sneak past those two ugly orcs?
- Eric: I hear unicorns make great decoys-
- Bobby: (hugging Uni) Forget it!
The Dragon's Graveyard
edit(after Venger causes the ice berg to trap the kids)
- Presto: Venger is putting us ON ICE.
- ERic: YOU MEAN IN ICE.
- Dinah: Somebody better do something...or we'll be stuck in this deep freeze forever.
- Shadow Demon: Master there is no sign of them
- Venger: WHAT THEY HAVE ESCAPED AGAIN? THIS IS THE LAST TIME
- Bobby: Sis I hate this I don't want to be in this World any more...I want Mom and Dad and my home and friends...
- Eric: This is all Venger's fault. We oughta do something about that guy.
- Hank: (twists bow, then throws it to the ground) Eric is RIGHT.
- Eric: I AM?
- Hank: Yeah. And we are going to do something about it.
- Eric: We ARE?
- Hank: The only chance we have of getting out of this world is if we take care of Venger ONCE AND FOR ALL.
- Shelia:But nobody can beat Venger not even Dungeounmaster...
- Hank: There is one creature who can TIAMAT
- Eric:YOUR CRAZY...
- Hank:Have you got a better idea...? I THOUGHt not
- Dinah:Hank,,TIAMAT the most Dangerous dragon in the Realm..How are we going to persuade her to fight Venger?
- Shelia:IF we get Venger..What will we Do to him once we have him?
- Dungeon Master: Listen to me Ranger. Do not let your anger control you. (the kids close in) The course you are taking.... can only.... lead.... to.... ruin? (defeated) So then, it has come to this: Tiamat lives where the dragons go to die. The place that is the source of your weapons: the Dragon's Graveyard. As for to use her to overcome Venger-
- Hank: No riddles! Tell us straight.
- Dungeon Master: Ask her! She may help you. But then.... she MAY NOT. May I go now?
- Hank: Wait Dungeonmaster... how do we find the way to the Dragons graveyard?
- Dungeon Master: You carry the way with you ranger.Let it start with you
- Eric:Venger gone ballistic
- Venger:GIVE ME YOUr WEAPONS NOW OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES
- Hank: Venger. He's blasting the rocks. Trying to get to us.
- Bobby: Good. I'm ready for him!
- Eric: That's a comfort.
Hank Fires a power arrow it zigzagged into Presto hat then bounces off eric shield that touches Dina javelin then is covered by Shelia Cloak. Instead of tocuhing it Bobbi hits the mass of magic with his club it explodes and they disappear. Venger finds them gone.
- Venger:They are gone BUT WHERE?
- Eric: (in the Dragon's Graveyard) Now what?
- Hank: Now we find Tiamat.
- Eric: (looks around at the skeletons) How do we know which one of these is her?
- Presto: Simple, dummy: she'll be the one who attacks us.
- Hank: Relax, Bobby. A boy your age shouldn't feel that much hate.
- Bobby: I told you all before, don't worry about me... worry about Venger.
- Tiamat: What do YOU know of (hissing) VENGER?!
- Hank: Dungeon Master said you could help us beat him.
- Tiamat: In the Dragons' Graveyard, your weapons are more powerful than VENGER! But, you must face him here, and, in that, I CAN help you! (flies away through a dimensional portal)
- Venger: I must have those weapons thay are all that stands between me and the Realm...TIAMAT
- Tiamat: You shall have your chance at the weapons..IN the DRAGONS GRAVEYARD
Tiamat blows Venger through a dimensional portal
- Venger: This is the end for ALL of YOU!
- Bobbi: (enraged over attack against Shelia and Uni) WRONG wise guy! THIS IS THE END for YOU!
- Venger: Why.... did you not finish me?
- Hank: Because if I did, we'd be no better than you are. We've beaten you, and you know it! Do you understand, Venger? I didn't do it for you: I did it for us.
- Hank: Dungeon Master.... What happens now?
- Dungeon Master: That is up to you, Ranger. But know this: you have taken your first step home.
Note this was a pretty good episode: except it has a continuity error: Venger resembles five skeleton warriors to attack the kids-yet only four are shown being defeated by Bobbi; Presto; Diana; and Eric apeice! (One is shown making a whirlwind spell against Shelia; although not shown it is implied he was defeated by shelia)
Child of the Stargazer
edit- Travar: What do you want of me, Serus?
- Serus: You know why. Tell me why, Travar.
- Travar: (nervous) An accident- an-an oversight...
- Serus: Indeed? What a coincidence that on the very day of star-fall, the only one who can fulfill the prophecy and end my reign as queen escapes from your dungeon! You have until tonight to capture him. The prophecy must not come true! You will not allow it to, will you... (sarcastically) my king....
Season three
editDungeon at the Heart of Dawn
edit- Eric: Now look what you did-you musclebound pipsqueak! I said to open the door-not blow up the house!
- Dungeon Master: You have released a signal to a being greater than you have ever encountered...AND NOW HE KNOWS WE ARE HERE!
- Eric: Hold it right there, Captain Shortness! (Bobby turns around) Not you, the other one! This stupid safari's not taking another step until you tell us what's going on!
- Dungeon Master: (pauses) We are running, Cavalier! For our very lives!
- Eric: (grabs Dungeon Master's shoulder) From what? Come on, this is a joke, right? You're looking at old pros here! We've survived everything this silly Realm's dished out, from five-headed dragons to one-horned Vengers!
- Presto: Yeah, everything except triple-eyed, double-fanged, flying purple people-eaters.
- Bobby: Are you kidding? I got one of those last week!
- Eric: Give it up, Presto. Nothing in that hat's gonna help us!
- Presto: Well, not unless you want a-a set of highway safety flares! Or-Or a battery-powered emergency radio! .... with no batteries. Or maybe a copy of.... "Ranger Fred's Guide to Survival in the Amazon"? (groans) I think my stupid hat needs a tune-up.
Eric feels everyone is going to blame him for opening the Box...
- Dungeon Master:No Cavelier You asked permission (sternly gazes at Hank; Hank had not stopped Eric from trying to open the box; Hank admits he was wrong )
- Bobby: WHO IS IT OR WHAT IS IT?
- Dungeonmaster: His name is not for your ears....He is not life as we know it.
- Hank: That thing chased us all the way across the Realm!
- Dungeonmaster: Let it END here..One way or another...
- Bobby: WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE END? SIS WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO US?
- Dinah: This is just a test? YOU are going to save US?
(after Presto is trapped on a narrow ledge)
- Presto:....Get Dungeonmaster to that heart of dawn thing..if you don't..NONE OF US WILL SEE ANOTHER SUNRISE.
(after Eric is nearly crushed by an gigantic worm-and is transported in the nick of time)
- Eric: Is this what heaven looks like?
- Venger: GUESS AGAIN FOOL.
(after the kids and Dungeonmaster return to the surface)
- Shelia: He...is ...really gone?
- Dungeonmaster: He is gone to wreak havoc on other worlds. Still we may have a little time.
- Shelia: Until when?
- Dungeonmaster: Until HE RETURNS...
The Time Lost
edit- Eric: If only we'd gotten to the portal in the Castle of Clouds...
- Shelia: Another chance to go home lost in smoke...
- Eric: (having his hair cut by Presto) Right now, I'd be happy to find a decent barber.
- Presto: Would you hold still?
- Eric: I am! What do you want, rigor mortis?
- Pilot: Mayday! Mayday! Starfire to base! Does anybody read me? I just had a dogfight with a- a flyin' dragon! Where am I? What's goin' on? Can anybody hear me?!
- Venger: [flies in] I hear you. Surrender your ship to me. Now.
- Pilot: Base, base, do you copy? Now I'm under attack by- some guy in a dress.... ridin' a flying horse?
- Venger: I shall explain. Your.... friend and I have struck a bargain.
- Diana: What?!
- Venger: In exchange for passage back to his own world, he has agreed to help me ELIMINATE YOU from this one. With that machine, he will tip the scales of battle: his country, not yours, shall WIN your insignificant Second World War. History will CHANGE. Your parents will have never MET. And none of you will have been BORN.
- Sheila: What?! [Venger condescendingly lifts her chin] Hank!!
- Bobby: Get away from my sister, you creep! (swings club at Venger, who easily catches it and lifts him into the air)
- Sheila: Bobby!
- Venger: How very amusing. (Hank nocks an energy arrow) Go ahead, Ranger. Fire, if you wish.
- (Venger drops Bobby, who tries to attack him again, but Sheila holds him back)
- Bobby: Let me go!
- Sheila: No, Bobby! That's what he wants you do to!
- Venger: Indeed. I want you to do whatever you please, Barbarian. Fight. Scream. Run, if you wish! As fast and as far as you can! In a moment, the portal will open, and even the MEMORY of you will VANISH from your world!
Oddyssey of the 12th Talisman
edit(after an idea of Eric to capture ridding animals temporary works)
- Hank: I saw it but I don't believe it.
- Bobbi: Yeah it.... works!
(after Lorne, stone of Asrta causes havoc)
- Hank: Lorne, that thing makes everything worse.
- Lorne: I can't control it.
(after Eric and his friend Lorne are accused of being evil wizards)
- Eric: Wizard, are you nuts? I'm too SMART to be a wizard and he's TOO DUMB.
Citadel of Shadow
edit- Presto: Why aren't they coming after us?
- Eric: Can't blame them; this place looks like something out of "Better Homes and Gargoyles".
- Karina: I needed you to break the spell to retrieve my ring.. Now I have it I DON'T need YOU anymore (evil laugh)
(when kids find out Karina and Venger are siblings)
- Karina: (snarls in rage) WELCOME ....BROTHER.
- Kids: He's your BROTHER? She's your sister?
- Venger: I will DESTROY YOU..AND YOUR young friends.
- Karena: The ring you found..I MUST HAVE IT..and only then will I have absolute POWER.
- Dungeomaster: To get home one of you will have to be more wrong than right...for only the heart can lead you home.
- (Karina is wildly firing magical blasts around an illusion-filled room; Sheila, invisible, laughs)
- Sheila: I sure hope Venger's other brothers and sisters are more clever than you.
- Karina: (panicking, intensifying blasts) When I'm through with you, I'll deal with your friends!
- Sheila: How would you know what friends are? You don't have any!
- Karina: YOU'LL NEVER ESCAPE! (blasts a wall, revealing the door)
- Sheila: (singsong) Thank you....
- Karina: No Without my ring im defenseless
- Kareena; VENGER...NO....VENGER...NO...Stop.
- Shelia: I can't let Venger destroy her.
- Venger: I will do to you what I should have done years ago...Farewell little SISTER...You will not help her...
At Karenna instruction Shelia throws both rings at Venger-Kareena red heartstone ring keeps him from moving and the blue mind ring imprisones him in a magical prison
- Eric: (again denied a way home] Oh, great, I knew it. Goodbye, pizza, goodbye, milkshake, goodbye, cheeseburgers.... sauerkraut.... homework.... (lightly) Oh, well, I guess it isn't all bad news. (after Kareena is redeemed from evil-the blue ring influence is what turned her evil)
- Dungeonmaster: Welcome home Kareena.
The Winds of Darkness
edit- Martha: Well, before you attempt the impossible, you'd better eat.
- Martha: (to Darkling) There is no darkness so powerful that a single candle flame can't chase it away!
Cave of the Fairie Dragons
edit- Soldier: How could you lose a creature that shade of orange?!
(after the kids transport the Dragons and their treasure to safety and destroy a magic mirror portal)
- King Varen: WHERE IS MY TREASURE?
- Soldier: We don't know sire..but these children do!
- King Varin: WELL?
- Dinah: ITS WHERE you'll NEVER GET IT.
- King Varin: Is that a fact? Who's going to stop me? Arrest these children.
Presto makes a spell that causes King Varin and his soldiers to float to a cave ceiling so they can escape.After the kids reflect that another chance to go home is lost, the last words of the series are spoken by Dungeonmaster:
- Dungeonmaster: "You are correct, Cavalier. You are closer to home, than you think. For home is a reflection of the heart. A reflection you are beginning to understand".
Requiem
editThe 2006 DVD release of Dungeons & Dragons included a radio play production of the previously-unproduced final episode, "Requiem".
- Venger: Your pupils are doomed to failure. They are brave only because they know you stand behind them.
- Dungeon Master: Not so: They can triumph over anything in the Realm, as you well know. They will not fail.
- Hank: C'mon, we all know what this is about. We're not mad at each other - we're mad at Dungeon Master. I don't know what to tell you... except that it's getting dark, and we'd better find a place to camp. You want the point, Eric? You got it. Lead the way.
- Eric: This whole Realm is a dungeon, y'know that? And we're all prisoners. We thought Dungeon Master was our friend, but it turns out he's just another guard.
- Venger: So Dungeon Master has finally shown his true colors. Have you never wondered why his advice always led you into battle, and never back to your world? It has been convenient for you to see Dungeon Master as good, and me as evil. But things are not that simple. I have granted your lives before. Aid me now, and I shall grant you your dearest wish: I will send you back to your own world.
- Hank: Eric, we gotta stick together-
- Eric: Why, Hank? We always stick together, and it hasn't gotten us home. You guys can do what you want, but we're going after that key.
- Sheila: Are we doing the right thing, Eric?
- Eric: I don't know. But we're not turning back.
- Dungeon Master: And you have given those trapped in this Realm their freedom. I can do no less for you. You are free to return to your world now, if you wish. Or you may stay here, in the Realm. There is still much evil to be dealt with, and many adventures yet to be had. The choice, my children, is yours.
- Narrator: The kids look at each other, grinning, tears of happiness in their eyes, ready to make their greatest decision of all. They survey their newly-transformed surroundings, the Realm's Edge, majestic mountains, and puffy clouds, even the incredible vista of the entire Realm itself, with its myriad lands and lifeforms, its joys, its dangers. Though it's a new Realm now, it still is, and always will be the Realm of Dungeons and Dragons.
Note: The actors did read out "Requiem" as a radio play and a Portuguese comic book version of Dungeons and Dragons did produce "Requiem". "Requiem" had an unresolved clifhanger ending: the kids either finally going home (if the series was canceled) or a 4th season of more adventures (if the series was renewed), but with a difference: according to the Dungeons and Dragons Cartoon Wiki episode listing: "..If the show had continued, they would have left the Realm, but not make it home, instead, a new world, with a female DungeonMaster would be on the other side ready to guide them". As noted this series never had a concluding episode-not even with "Requiem"-hence imaginative fans can write their own versions of what happened to the kids, for example at Fanfiction [1][2]In 2020 Fans [with the help of old clips from the series] made a cartoon version of "Requiem" in which the kids after redeeming Venger deceide to go home but with a Twist ending:The only characther who deceides to stay in the Realm of Dungeons and Dragons Is Presto! Ironically in the 2023 "Dungeons & Dragons Movie Honor Among Theives" the kids have a short cameo appearence of being trapped in a maze still trying to get home. In Video game Baldur Gate II/Copper Corenet Hank and Bobbi have a cameo appearence [paintings], There is also a CBS Wiki fandom sumary of the series[3]
