Quotes 

• Batros : [referring to Beast Man]  I found this one away from home. I thought I'd bring him back to you.

  Skeletor : [snickers]  I'm considering putting him on a leash.

• Beast Man : If Batros is so smart, how come he stole the books instead of the gold and the jewels?

  [chuckles] 

  Skeletor : Because unlike you, Batros has a brain. What he has taken is more precious than gold or jewels.

  Beast Man : Books?

  Skeletor : Of course, you worthless hunk of fur. Books are the real treasures of the world.

• Skeletor : More tricks, Batros? Or are you ready to talk business?

  Batros : You talk, I'll listen.

  Skeletor : I'll talk, and you'll obey! You're clever, Batros. Unlike some of my servants, who can hardly think at all. You have a brain that could warm my heart, if I had a heart.

• Batros : I have a plan.

  Skeletor : You see, Beast Man? Some use their heads for something besides growing fur.

• King Randor : This is a terrible loss. Those books contain all the lore and knowledge of our people.

  Man-At-Arms : And all the great scientific discoveries and inventions.

  Prince Adam : And the wonderful stories.

  King Randor : [covering his face with one hand]  How will we live without the great books?

  Man-At-Arms : Very poorly, I fear.

  Prince Adam : [whispering]  I smell an evil plot.

  Man-At-Arms : [equally quiet]  Time for He-Man...

  King Randor : Speak up! What did you say, Duncan?

  Man-At-Arms : Ehm, I said, Sire, eh, we must find He-Man!

  King Randor : Indeed we must, Duncan, and as soon as possible.

  Prince Adam : Father, Professor Smallen, if you'll excuse me, I... I have something important to do.

  [leaves] 

  King Randor : I'm afraid my son doesn't take this problem seriously.

• Skeletor : Do what I tell you, desert sand, for you are under my command!

• Skeletor : Struggle all you want, He-Man, that net is made of Elastium. It's not only one of the hardest substances in the universe, but it also stretches. You and your stupid beast are helpless!

  [Battle Cat growls in defence] 

  He-Man : Easy there, old friend.
