Cutscene Quotes

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

Terra's Story

  • "Geez Louise, one chump after another. It's like a who's who of decathlon disasters around here. All I need is one measly warrior tough enough to give Zeus a jolt of his own medicine!"
    walking into the vestibule.
  • "Name is Hades, Lord of the Dead, god of the Underworld, yadda yadda, how ya doin'. Hey, lemme guess, you're trying to put the kibosh on the darkness inside you. Am I right? Of course I'm right. Well, anyway, bad idea."
    introducing himself to Terra.
  • "Okay, stay with me here - darkness is inside... everyone. Nothing to be ashamed of. You play nice with it, and darkness will be your best friend. But if you go and get all self-conscious and refuse to face it, the darkness will run over you like a debutante at a toga sale. And then where are you? Nowhere. Now me, I look at you and I see potential. That's right, kid. You got the potential to conquer the darkness inside you. And I'll even give you some pointers. I mean, believe me, if anybody knows conquering, I know conquering."
    - talking to Terra about the darkness.
  • " Easy. You sign up for the Games. I know, I know. "Please, Lord Hades, the Games?" But hey, you would be surprised what you can learn in the heat of battle. And don't worry. I'll be right there to guide you every step of the way. I'm kinda what you'd call an expert in the art of darkness. Oh, decide fast. This is a limited-time offer."
    talking about conquering Terra's darkness.

  • "Hello, plan beta. Hey Kid!"
    talking to Zack.
  • "Huh? So, what do ya think? You like my new super soldier? See--right here, this—it's the power of darkness. Coulda been yours. Still could, if you open up to it."

Aqua's Story

  • "So I take it you're acquainted with the spineless chickenheart."
    talking to Aqua about Terra.
  • "Well, that was rude. A "No, thank you, your godliness" might've sufficed. Fortunately, I still get to--ahem--destroy you. Rules say you face me next. And I have a whole lot of darkness...with your name on it!"
    before disappearing.
  • ""Rule No. 2: Combatants may call for backup." Maybe you better call yours, bluebird."

Kingdom Hearts coded

  • "Hmmm...Some brat's wandered his way in here. But this maze was made to trap even a hero. This brat ought to run away crying in no time. I've got a bigger problem, namely Hercules. Thanks to this maze, today will be the day I finally drag him down to the Underworld! Right now, time to sit back and enjoy the games. Can't end the game too quickly now, can we?"
