• Jackie : What do we do, Puff?

  Puff : He said it: have no fear.

  Jackie : I'm scared to have no fear!

• Puff : Come along now. We'll build a boat.

  Jackie : I'm afraid.

  Puff : Well, isn't everybody?

• Puff : By the way, where's your fancy stuff?

• Puff : Now, I'm going to borrow the living thing inside you and place it INSIDE Jackie Paper. Your living thing. You wonder what it is? It is that what causes you to laugh and to cry and to care. It is that which makes apples crunchy and tells your nose to tingle on a crystal winter's morning. It's kept in your left ear, you know.

• Puff : I'm one of few dragons ever to have a song. That is because, instead of destroying things, I try to muddle through.

• Puff : [attempting to return a fallen star to the sky, the boat fails to fly]  Too heavy. We'll have to unload some ballast: me.

  [jumps into the water] 

  Puff : Take her up.

  Jackie : Alone? I can't. I'm afraid.

  Puff : JACKIE! Believe in yourself. Have the courage to try. You may fail, but atleast you have made the effort.

• Puff : I adore eating my words, but your pies are even better.

• Puff : His name is Jackie Draper. And don't worry, magnificent things are about to happen.

• Pirate : Gotcha! Arr har har, you'll never get away!

  Puff : Now *that* is a pirate.

• Jackie : [as they walk around the now grim Honah Lee, he points]  Hey look, a sign.

  Puff : [Signs pop up and he reads]  Bow down low. Get on your kneeses. You're now on the isle of the living sneezes.

  Jackie : [Continues reading the signs]  This means you! Kachoo! You too!
