Cutscene Quotes
Kingdom Hearts
- "Thank you, thank you! But their movement still needs work. It’s not scary enough. I want to strike bone-chilling terror. I’m going to consult the doctor."
— upon being introduced by The Mayor. - "Oh, I’ve got it! Why of course! The Heartless need a heart! Doctor, do you think we can add a heart to that device?"
— talking to Dr. Finkelstien. - "Oh, the Heartless came to town just recently. What’s frustrating is I can’t get them to dance with me. So the doctor and I are trying to improve the guidance system. He’s quite a genius! Okay, Doctor, let’s continue. The ingredients for a heart: Pulse. Emotion. [...] Fear. Hope and despair. Mix them all together, and we have a heart!"
— talking about the experiment. - "No, everything’s going great. We’re going to have the best Halloween ever. All we need now is your memory."
— talking to Sally. - "Oogie Boogie, give me back the heart!"
— talking to Oogie Boogie. - "So, that heart was a failure after all."
- after defeating Oogie Boogie. - "Look! It’s brimming with the power of darkness! Oogie Boogie is drawing power from those dark globs!"
— upon seeing the dark globs on Oogie Boogie. - "I guess we have no choice. We’ll have to cancel the Heartless Halloween festival for now. Here, I want you to have this."

- talking to Sora.
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
- "Wow, that was the best shriek I've heard in ages! If you're THAT easy to scare, I'm gonna have a great time! Sorry, I haven't even introduced myself. I'm Jack Skellington! Halloween Town is my town. I'm the king of nightmares and the master of terror! If you want chills and horror, you've come to the right place!"
— introducing himself to Sora and company. - "I didn't call them. In fact, I'd love to get rid of them. The Heartless go around attacking people, instead of just scaring them."
— talking about the Heartless. - "Allow me to introduce Dr. Finkelstein, the world-famous genius!"
— introducing Dr. Finkelstien. - "As soon as the doctor got a whiff of the potion, Heartless started popping up!"
- talking about the potion. - "There you are, Sally! I thought I'd find you here."
— upon meeting Sally. - "Oogie! What's going on?"
— after Oogie Boogie drinks the potion. - "Don't you want to find out about your true memories?"
— talking to Sora about his memories. - "Fear and insecurity are signs of a strong heart. Without that strength, your zest for life would fade...as would your taste for fear. And believe me, that would really ruin my fun."
- talking about fear. - "Then good luck, gentlemen! May you always enjoy being frightened!"
— before Sora and company leaves Halloween Town.
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
- "No... It's still missing something! Something new. Something fresh...I want this Halloween to be a festival of fantastical frights! Hmm... There must be something."
— pacing and thinking to himself. - "Well, Doctor? What do you think!? I've put a few new "ideas" in place for this coming Halloween."
— talking to Dr. Finkelstien. - " Well, that was unexpected! A Heartless popped out. How strange. I certainly didn't put anything like that inside. Aha! Someone else must have decided to add a new level of terror by hiding a Heartless inside! I'd better keep brainstorming, or they'll think of all the good ideas first... Wait! I've got it!"
— when the balloon turns into a Heartless. - "That should do it! What do you think, Zero? I had the Doctor build it for me."
— talking to Zero. - "Hmmm... I like the lantern idea well enough, but...I wish there were something else to add a little more oomph!"
— thinking while in the Graveyard. - "Stealthy and clever, it appears out of nowhere with spooky, black tendrils growing out of its hands! Under its cloak, it conceals a countless battery of bombs! A fiend like this is guaranteed to plunge everyone into the very depths of fear!"
— while showing off the scarecrow.
Kingdom Hearts II
- "Sora, Donald, and Goofy! Welcome back, and Merry Christmas!"

— talking about the Heartless. - "Look at this mysterious door! Just looking at it makes one's bones tingle! Now then, come closer. I have something to tell you."
— talking about the Christmas door - "Here it is! The door to Christmas Town. The spooks of Halloween can get so tiresome year after year. I wanted something new. And I found this! Beyond this door is a world filled with wonders...the likes of which you've never seen! As first I couldn't believe my eyes! Everything was so fresh and exciting!"
— before going into Christmas Town. - "What do you think of the view? Impressive, right? None of this is in Halloween Town. Now then, Sandy Claw's house is just up ahead. We should get moving."

— talking to Santa Claus. - "It's a long story."
— when Sora asks what Santa meant by asking what trouble he brought "this time." - "It doesn't seem like Sandy Claws will talk with us until we catch those kids. We've got to find them and bring them to Sandy."
— talking about Santa Claus and Lock, Shock, and Barrel. - "Oogie comes back, and the first thing he does is try to spoil my Christmas! I guess he didn't learn his lesson last time."

— talking to Oogie Boogie. - "Wonderful! Why, I love it! Thank you, Sally!"
— upon Sally finishing his suit. - "I just thought you could use a little help this year, Mr. Claws. You must be exhausted from all the preparations. And---I wouldn't mind a second chance to get this Christmas thing right."
