Ian Lightfoot
edit- [reading his Father's letter] "I wrote this spell so I could see for myself who my guys grew up to be."
- I had someone who looked out for me. Someone who pushed me to be more than I ever thought I could be. I never had a dad, but I always had you.
Barley Lightfoot
edit- We only have 24 hours to bring back the rest of Dad.
- We're going on a quest!
- All quests start with the Manticore, the fearless warrior.
- Put it in "O" for "Onward!"
- Growth spell! We grow the tin, and then the gas itself will grow with it.
- It worked! The tin is huge! And the van is huge! And your- [realizes he has been shrunk] Oh, no!
- There's a sweet blotch. Not in the middle not quite at the end.
- Oh, it's a giant greenish cube.
- [exclaims] My wallet's still tiny.
Laurel Lightfoot
edit- Blazey! Bad dragon! Go back to your lair!
- I have a gift from your dad.
- He just said to give you this when you were both over sixteen.
- I'm on my way, guys. Just stay out of trouble.
- [during the final battle] I am a mighty warrior!
Corey the Manticore
edit- Quick! Somebody help me! These griffin nuggets were supposed to go out a minute ago!
- Oh, they went on a quest. But don't worry, I told them about the map, I told them about the gem, I told them about the curse- [gasps] I forgot to tell them about the curse!
- Your boys are in great danger!
Dialogue
edit- Laurel: [hurts her foot on Barley's figurine] Oh, my. Barley, keep your soldiers off my land, or our kingdom will go to war! [kicks it in his room]
- Barley: [from in his room] Sorry, Mom!
- Laurel: Oh, this is the world's longest gap year. Honey I was gonna do that.
- Ian: That's okay.
- Laurel: Wow! You must have been taught by some kind of sewing master.
- Ian: Yeah. A very humble sewing master. What was Dad like when he was my age? Was he always super confident.
- Laurel: Oh, no. It took him a while to find out who he was.
- Ian: I wish I'd met him.
- Laurel: Oh, me too. But, hey, you know when your dad got sick, he fought so hard because he wanted to meet you more than anything. You know what? I have something for you.
- Ian: Aloft Elevar!
- Barley: No, from your heart's fire!
- Ian: Aloft Elevar!
- Barley: Don't hold back!
- Ian: Aloft Elevar!
- Barley: HEART'S FIRE!
- Ian: (frustrated) STOP SAYING "HEART'S FIRE"! This just clearly isn't working!
- Barley: Hey, it was a good start.
- [After Ian and Barley got back from under in the sewer, they find out they're back near his high school in New Mushroomton at the near end of their quest.]
- Barley: I mean, unless that gauntlet was for, coincidentally, some different quest. That's a possibility.
- Ian: What?
- Barley: No, no, no. This has to be where the Phoenix Gem is. I followed my gut.
- Ian: Oh, no.
- Barley: What?
- Ian: The gem is in the mountain. The mountain we could have been to hours ago, if we'd just... stayed on the expressway.
- Ian: [enraged] If I hadn't listened to you! OKAY?! I can't believe this! You act like you know what you're doing, but you don't have a clue! And that's because you are a screwup! And now, you've screwed up my chance to have ONE THING I'VE NEVER HAD!!
- [Barley gasps softly at Ian's words, so is his dad. Ian turns his back on Barley and walks away with him.]
- Ian: [gives Barley his staff] To spend what little time we have left with dad.
- Barley: Ian, wait! We can still find the Phoenix Gem! We just have to keep looking! Ian! IAN!
