Quotes 

• Jackalman : [speaking of Wilykat and Wilykit facing Lion-O. Jackalman scoffs]  They don't stand a chance against that wretched Sword of Omens.

  [laughs] 

  Monkian : That's the whole point! He's not allowed to use *any* weapons. And he can't ask for help. If he does, he fails the trials!

• Wilykit , Wilykat : You tricked us!

  Lion-O : Yep. It's been a trick for a trick all day. But it's the last trick that *wins* the day!

• Wilykat : Did you get to the tree?

  Lion-O : Well, almost. Then I heard your calls, and then...

  Wilykat : Then you haven't beat us yet!

• Lion-O : Anytime you're ready, then.

  Wilykat : We're always ready!

• Wilykat : You stopped to make friends?

  Wilykit : And risk failing the anointment trial?

  Lion-O : [touching their shoulders]  I didn't plan it that way. But it turns out you can't have too many friends, as you two found out.

• Lion-O : [while trying to rescue Wilykit and Wilykat from the molten crevasse]  I'll try to get lower.

  Wilykat : Got it.

  Lion-O : Slippery! I can't hang on!

  [Just as Lion-O loses his grip, a cave dweller grabs him] 

  Lion-O : You!

  Cave Dweller : We heard the cries. We'll help your friends.

  [Cavemen form a chain to reach Wilykat] 

  Cave Dweller : Are my hands close to yours?

  Wilykat : Yes. Just a few inches more.

  Cave Dweller : A bit lower.

  [grabs Wilykat] 

  Cave Dweller : I have him. Pull us up.

  Wilykat : Wilykit is still down there, Lion-O!

  Cave Dweller : We'll get her.

  Lion-O : Your eyes! You've hurt them!

  Cave Dweller : They'll be all right. We kept them shut.

  Lion-O : No. You might damage your eyes for good. Do you still have your larriat, Wilykat?

  Wilykat : Yes

  Lion-O : Kit! When you catch the larriat, loop it under your arms.
