Popular Dialogues

"Willow: What are you doing? Madmartigan: I found some blackroot. She loves it. Willow: Blackroot? I'm the father of two children, and you never, ever give a baby blackroot. Madmartigan: Well my mother raised us on it. It's good for you! It put's hair on your chest, right Sticks? Willow: Her name is not Sticks! She's Elora Danan, the future empress of Tir Asleen and the last thing she's gonna want is a hairy chest!"

"Madmartigan: Did I really... Did I really say those things, last night, in your tent? Sorsha: You said you loved me. Madmartigan: I don't remember that. Sorsha: You lied to me. Madmartigan: No, I... I just wasn't myself last night. Sorsha: I suppose my power enchanted you and you were helpless against it. Madmartigan: Sort of. Sorsha: Then what? Madmartigan: It... went away. Sorsha: Went away? "I dwell in darkness without you" and it *went away*?"
