Kingdom Hearts

• "Nonsense. My devices are always perfect!"
  — talking to Jack Skellington.
• "Maybe we're missing some ingredients. Let's try adding memory."
  — talking to Jack Skellington.
• "Sally! Sally! Good-for-nothing girl! Don't know why I bothered creating her! Sally's got the memory we need. See if you can track her down."
  — calling for Sally.
• "There you go. This time it's sure to work."
  — talking to himself about the heart.
• "The nerve of those little hooligans, stealing my work!"
  — talking about Lock, Shock, and Barrel.
• "You've got to get my heart back before Oogie Boogie ruins it!"
  — just before Sora and company defeat Oogie.
• "Emotion, memory... We put in all the necessary ingredients. What else do you need to make a heart? What is a heart anyway? I can't figure it out."

Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories

• "Yes! Maybe I'm TOO smart. I'm afraid I've created something horrible!"
  — being introduced by Jack Skellington.
• "Well… Have you ever stopped to think about "true memories"?"
  — talking about true memories.
• "Our hearts are full of memories—but not all of them reflect the truth. The heart isn't a recording device. Even important memories change with time. They warp or fade, leaving us with but a shadow of what we hoped to remember."
  — talking to Sora about memories.
• "It happens to everyone. Some memories grow ugly, and some become more beautiful. If we could recover our true memories, the world would seem completely different. So, I devised a potion from forget-me-nots that brings our true memories back."
  — talking about true memories.
• "No! My research is flawless! I just need another look at the potion to find out what went wrong! Unfortunately...it's vanished."
  — talking about his potion.
• "It must've been Sally! Jack, you've got to find her and get my potion back."
  — talking about Sally.
• "Confound that Oogie Boogie! He drank nearly all of my precious potion! There are only a few drops left!"
  — talking about Oogie and the potion.
• "What, don't you want it? Too bad. It would've been a great experiment."
  — when Sora decided not to drink the potion.
• "I just don't understand. When I inhaled the potion, Heartless appeared, and when Oogie drank it, he was overcome with fear. What could it mean?"
  — talking about his potion.
• " No! I can't be wrong! Oogie MUST have found his true memories! Hm...True memories must unbalance the heart and cause unpredictable changes within!"
  — talking about memories.
• "Perhaps something even more terrifying...But this is all just a hypothesis. I can't be sure without further research."
  — before leaving.

Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories

• "You see my boy, our hearts are full of memories---but not all of them reflect the truth. The heart isn't a recording device. Even important memories change with time. They warp or fade, leaving us with but a shadow of what we hoped to remember."
  — talking to Sora about memories.
• "It happens to everyone. Some memories grow ugly, and some become more beautiful. If we could recover our true memories, the world would seem completely different. So, I devised a potion from forget-me-nots that brings our true memories back."
  — explaining his potion to Sora.
• "No! I can't be wrong! Oogie MUST have found his true memories! Hmm... True memories must unbalance the heart...and cause unpredictable changes within!"
  — talking about memories.

  — showing Jack a blue pumpkin.
• "No doubt... You really are in fine form this year."
  — talking to Jack about Halloween.
• "Very good. Keeping a keen eye trained on your surroundings is critical for an inventor. Now, as you've been exploring, have you seen Oogie's three rugrats? I hear they're up to something on the outskirts of town. Any idea what it is this time?"
  — talking to Jack Skellington about Lock, Shock and Barrel.
• "Sally mentioned them the other day... Bah, she must have imagined it. She's always been a worrywart."
  — talking about Sally spotting Lock, Shock, and Barrel.
• "Well, you have my full support. Quite a novel idea you've come up with this time, Jack."
  — talking to Jack Skellington about his new idea.

Kingdom Hearts II

• "Can't you see...that I'm in the middle of an experiment?"
  — talking to Jack Skellington.
• "I can't count on those kids to do anything right. Would you be interested in helping me in their place?"
  — talking about Lock, Shock, and Barrel.
• "What? Those kids are causing trouble in another town, too? Well, I suppose what happens in other towns doesn't concern my research."
  — talking about Lock, Shock, and Barrel.
• "If Oogie's back, you can be sure he's up to no good. All's quiet here, though. Maybe he's out playing his tricks in another town."
  — talking about Oogie Boogie.
• "There's nothing wrong with my design-it's flawless. There must be something wrong with the parts those imbeciles brought me. I need to find better assistants."
