Ian Lightfoot

• [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

• 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

• 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

• 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

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?
