- Brea: You're all monsters!
- The Scroll-Keeper: Have you only just figured that out? Perhaps you are not so clever after all.
- The Emperor: [as the other Skeksis start grabbing the essence] Stop this at once! Look at yourselves! Squealing. Gorging. This essence is hard-come-by. Let's not use it all today.
- [the other Skeksis mutter in confusion]
- The Emperor: I'm kidding, you fools! DIG IN!
- The Scroll-Keeper: [after drinking some essence] I can see! My eyes are working! I'd forgotten just how ugly you all are.
- [all the Skeksis laugh]
- The Emperor: Ha ha ha- What?
- Rian: We must go after Brea.
- The Heretic: Your stolen friend was right. The Hunter has set a trap. skekMal's using her as bait. She will not be harmed.
- The Heretic: Remember, as you travel your path, you carry with you the seed of hope that we two shall be one again.
- The Wanderer: So don't... get... killed.
- Tolyn: I warned you of the guards' revolt!
- The Scientist: Ha!
- [He chuckles and pulls a lever, powering up the machine that activates the Crystal]
- The Scientist: Ah, then it is only fitting you meet the same end as your fellow guards.
- Tolyn: Please, my Lord! Mercy!
- [skekTek growls]
- The Scientist: The only mercy I have left to offer... is death.
- [He cackles]
- Aughra: Seladon. New crown, I see. New clothes. Some dress to conceal their body, others to reveal their nature.
