• Sisu : Also, you broke the gem!

  Raya : But I still have a big chunk of it though.

  Sisu : Is that supposed to make me feel better? If you lost a puppy, and I said, well, we still have a big chunk of it. Would that make you feel better?

• Sisu : I'm going to be real with you, alright? I'm not like the best dragon, you know?

  Raya : But you saved the world.

  Sisu : I did do that. That's true. But have you ever done like a group project, but there's like that one kid who didn't pitch in as much, but still ended up with the same grade? Yeah, I wasn't the one who actually made the gem. I just turned it in.

• Raya : The world is broken, you can't trust anyone.

  Sisu : Maybe it's broken, because you don't trust anyone, you just have to take the first step.

• Sisu : I... am... so hungry.

  Raya : I have some jerky.

  Sisu : Not that hungry.

• Sisu : Is that food? I was so focused on saving the world, I forgot to have breakfast today.

  Raya : Today? When exactly do you think today is?

  Sisu : Tuesday.

  [tries a bite of Raya's jerky] 

  Sisu : Yuck! I mean, mmm! What is this delightful culinary treat?

  Raya : It's jackfruit jerky. I dried it myself.

  Sisu : Well, compliments to the chef!

  [to Tuk Tuk] 

  Sisu : Wanna finish this, Skippy?

• Boun : How hot do you want it? We have hot, really hot, and "Boom goes the dynamite!"

  Sisu : Bring on the heat!

• Sisu : I just shape-changed! Into people!

  Raya : Dragons can do that?

  Sisu : This was my sister, Prani's, thing. Look at my people arms, and my people face. Look how close my butt is to my face!

• Raya : What if someone saw you?

  Sisu : Who, Captain Pop-and-Lock? What's he going to do, challenge me to a dance battle?

• Tong : Ah, it's good to breathe in your glorious dragon stench again.

  Sisu : Okay, I'd take that as a compliment.

• Raya : What do cats and Druun have in common?

  Sisu : Um... they have no souls!

  Raya : And they are afraid of water.

• Sisu : What? Why are you looking at me like that?

  Raya : Uh, nothing. I'm just not used to seeing dragons.

  Sisu : Impressed, huh? Wait 'til you see my backstroke! I'm wicked when I hit that liquid! I got water skills that kill! I slaughter when I hit the water! I'm like... really good at swimming... through rhyme. I was trying to make that... that I'm really good at swimming. I'm a really good swimmer... just basically.

  Raya : Okay. We need to get going.

• Sisu : Who's that?

  Raya : That's Namaari, the back-stabbing binturi who broke the world.

• Raya : We have no interest in dragon gems.

  [Tong shows Raya's bag, which contains the three dragon gems she collected so far] 

  Raya : Okay. I can see how that makes me look like a liar.

  Sisu : Actually, I think it was the lying that made you look like a liar.

• Tong : Why are you here, divine water dragon?

  Sisu : Isn't that obvious, big guy? My girl, Raya, and I are gonna fix the world! Bring everyone back!

• Sisu : It may feel impossible, but sometimes you just have to take the first step, even before you're ready.

• Raya : [Referring to Benja]  I wonder if he'll even remember me. So much has changed.

  Sisu : I know he will remember you.

  Raya : You remind me of him.

  Sisu : Oh yeah? Strong? Good looking? With impeccable hair?

  Raya : Hopeful.

• Sisu : Ooh! This beetle's got a booty!

  Raya : Careful! It's a toot-n-boom.

  Sisu : Why is it called a...?

  [Raya pulls Sisu away from the beetle just after it farts and then explodes] 

  Sisu : Got it. Noted. Makes sense. You have to admit, though, these bug booties are kind of cute.

• Raya : Actually, Sisu, I think we're going to go with your plan.

  Sisu : What? My plan? You're going with my plan?

  Raya : Yeah.

  Sisu : Alright! You're not going to regret this. But we're gonna need a really good gift. What do you think she's into? Cats? Knives? Cats with knives? Knives with little cats on them?

• Raya : I'd say we've found the Tail chief.

  Sisu : What happened to her?

  Raya : From the looks of it, she was hording the gem and became a victim of her own traps.

  Sisu : Well, you gotta admire her commitment.

• Sisu : I love credit!

• Sisu : Wow. So many questions. First one: Why am I wearing this?

  Raya : Well, we don't want to attract attention.

  Sisu : Oh, you definitely chose the right hat for that.

• Raya : You... are... Sisu.

  Sisu : And you're... people.

• Sisu : This is delicious. By the way, not poison. But... it's haaaaa... it's haaaaa... it's hot! It's hot! It's really hot! Water! Water! Boun! Captain Boun? We need water on deck!

• Sisu : Here's my plan: We infiltrate Fang, confront Namaari, and offer her something nice and go, Wanna help us save the world? Cuz all it takes is one gem piece!

  Namaari : [in Sisu's thoughts]  Yes! I've been waiting for someone to offer me a gift! Here you go!

  Sisu : [in her thoughts]  Best friends forever!

• Raya : You touched this gem piece, and it gave you powers. You know what this means, right?

  Sisu : I no longer need a nightlight?

• Raya : Hold on.

  [Sisu grabs onto Raya. She swings across the pit but stops midway. Turns out Sisu's hind legs were still perched on the edge of the cliff] 

  Sisu : Oh, we were doing a jumpy thing? So sorry. My bad. I get it now.

• Tong : I was born and bred to do only one thing: to invoke fear, and to crush the skulls of my enemies!

  Sisu : That's actually two things.

• Sisu : Wow! What a smart way to Druun-proof your house! Built right on the water. People of Talon are geniuses.

  Raya : Yeah, Talon may look nice, but it's a hotspot for pickpockets and con artists.

  Sisu : Lucky for me, empty pockets!

• Sisu : That's what I keep trying to tell my girl, Raya. She's like, You can't trust anyone. Don't talk to people. I only eat terrible foods I dried myself.

• Sisu : [referring to Noi]  Oh, that's so sweet. Okay, that's too much sweet!

• Raya : You're glowing.

  Sisu : Oh, thank you! I use aloe and river slime...

  Raya : No... Look.

  Sisu : [realizes she's literally glowing]  This was my little sister, Ambu's magic! I've got the glow!

• Boun : You know, during the day, you can almost forget they're here, but at night, this is why I never leave the boat.

  Raya : You're a smart kid.

  Boun : What are Druun anyway?

  Sisu : A plague born from human discord. They've always been here waiting for a moment of weakness to attack. They're like the opposite of dragons. Instead of bringing water and life to the world, they're like a relentless fire that consumes everything in its wake until there's nothing left except ash and stone.

  Boun : They took my family.

  Sisu : They took mine too.

• Tong : If she refuses to help, we've just flushed our tactical advantage into the dung pot.

  Raya : I know.

  Boun : Yeah, she really has no reason to help us.

  Raya : I know!

  Sisu : This jerky is terrible!

  Raya : [shouts]  I know!

  Tong : Are you sure those four miniature menaces will be successful?

  Raya : I don't know.

• Tong : Your fear is filling the tum-tum of my soul! It smells like... mango.

  Sisu : Oh, I love mango!

  Tong : Of course you love mango! Only a tongueless cretin would!

• Raya : What are you doing?

  Sisu : I'm going to show you that you're wrong.

  Raya : How? By getting squashed by a bunch of Spine rage-heads?

  Sisu : No. By proving yo you that if you want to get someone's trust, you have to give a little trust first.

  Raya : Sisu, don't!

  [They end up triggering a trap and get caught in a sack] 

  Sisu : In hindsight, maybe I was a little hasty, but who's hungry? No? Alright, I'll leave you alone.

• Dang Hu : Chief Deng Hai is just outside the city behind the gates.

  Sisu : Away from the water, huh? Wow. He really likes living on the edge.

• Sisu : We were the last dragons. All the other dragons were turned to stone. We were drowning in a sea of Druun, but my oldest brother, Pengu, refused to accept defeat. This is where we made our last stand united, so one by one, they combined all their magic creating the dragon gem. I don't know why they chose me. It could've been any of us. All I know is I trusted them, and they trusted me. And so, when they put their faith in me, it empowered me beyond anything I could ever imagine. The same can happen with Namaari.

  Raya : I really wish I could believe that. I once thought that I could be friends.

  Sisu : After all this, maybe you can be.

  Raya : Even if she wanted to help, how can I trust her?

  Sisu : But if somehow you could, you would just bring your ba back. You also bring back his dream: Kumandra.

• Raya : You can't trust anyone.

  Sisu : Does that include babies?

• Sisu : What makes you think the Tail chief's here?

  Raya : Because all these booby traps didn't just set themselves up.

  Sisu : This doesn't make sense. None of this will stop the Druun.

  Raya : It's not to stop the Druun. It's to stop people.

• [last lines] 

  Benja : [seeing Sisu for the first time]  Is that really her?

  [Raya nods] 

  Sisu : Chief Benja, your daughter did you proud. Hope you don't mind. She brought some friends.

  [the people from Tail, Talon, Spine and Fang come in optimistically] 

  Raya : Ba, welcome to Kumandra.

• Boun : Super flow plan, am I right, guys?

  Raya : Uh, no. Yeah, that's not flow. That's a clog.

  Sisu : I agree.

• Raya : [after she adds palm sugar to the stew Tong and Boun were arguing over]  That's something my ba showed me.

  Sisu : Oh, that's sweet. Did he also teach you how to make that wonderful jerky?

  Raya : No, that was all me.

• Raya : I've seen people freak out over a dragon gem! Could you imagine how they'd react if they saw a real dragon? Until we find the other gem pieces, you have to stay human... please.

  Sisu : Wow, you really got some trust issues!

• Sisu : Interesting choice of digs.
