Quotes 

• [final line] 

  Anne Boonchuy : Change can be difficult, but it's how we grow. It can be the hardest thing to realize you can't hold on to something forever. Sometimes, you have to let it go. But of the things you let go, you'd be surprised what makes its way... back to you.

• Sprig Plantar : Goodbye, Anne. I- I'll never forget you.

  Anne Boonchuy : And I won't forget you either, Sprig. Which means that we'll never be apart. Not really. Nothing will ever change how much you mean to me. Not time, or space, or being worlds apart.

  Sprig Plantar : Spranne against the world?

  Anne Boonchuy : Spranne against the world.

• Anne Boonchuy : Goodbye, Polly. You're the little sister I never knew I needed. I know you're gonna grow into an amazing frog and take over the world.

  Polly Plantar : Without you as my moral compass, I definitely will!

• Anne Boonchuy : Goodbye, HP. Thanks for taking me in. I'm so lucky to call myself a Plantar.

  Hop Pop : I'm the lucky one, Anne. And I'm so blessed to have a granddaughter like you. If you ever need a home cooked meal, or your old room back, just... stop by.

  Anne Boonchuy : Like an old wise frog once told me, family always finds each other.

• Sprig Plantar : Come on, Anne! You'll be okay!

  Anne Boonchuy : Don't cry, Sprig. It's okay. Saving this world was the best decision I've ever made. My only regret is that... I never... got to see Love Choice 2.

• Sasha Waybright : Guys, I hate to bring this up, but I think I'm fading fast...

  Marcy Wu : Me too...

  [to Anne] 

  Marcy Wu : Our bodies aren't as used to this as yours...

  Anne Boonchuy : Look, guys. I know what we have to do. I'm going to call up on the power of all three stones. I may die in the process, but at least you and everyone else will be safe.

  Marcy Wu : What?

  Sasha Waybright : Are you crazy?

  Marcy Wu : There's no way we're letting you do that!

  [the Frobots start to explode one by one] 

  Anne Boonchuy : Our whole lives, I've followed you two, counted on you, trusted you. Now it's your turn to follow my lead. Please. Let me do this.

  Marcy Wu : Anne...

  Sasha Waybright : But... but...

  [Sasha and Marcy hand over their Calamity Gems to Anne] 

  Anne Boonchuy : Not sure how this'll go, so, you better get out of here.

  [Sasha and Marcy hug Anne] 

  Sasha Waybright : You'd better come back alive, Boonchuy! I swear to frog, you'd better!

• Sprig Plantar : Anne! Please don't do this! Don't go! I don't know what I'll do without you! You're my everything! You changed my life!

  Anne Boonchuy : And you've changed mine.

  Sprig Plantar : [Crying] 

  Anne Boonchuy : Goodbye, Sprig.

• King Andrias : Heh heh heh. It seems The Core has activated its final gambit.

  Hop Pop : Its what?

  King Andrias : When our civilization was at its peak, the moon became home to some of The Core's pet projects. Among them, a plan to eradicate all life as we know it by ramming the moon into Amphibia's surface.

  Anne Boonchuy : Excuse me? Why?

  Marcy Wu : Fear. I've been inside that thing's head. I know that more than anything. It's afraid of being destroyed. Of being irrelevant. It will do whatever it takes to defeat us and claim the stones as its own. If that means destroying an entire civilization, then so be it.

  Sasha Waybright : [to Andrias]  So what you're saying is this thing is a giant sore loser!

  King Andrias : Mmm. More or less.

• Anne Boonchuy : Game on, you stinky space bugs!

• The Core : Well, you dare use Amphibia's greatest treasure against us?

  Anne Boonchuy : These stones are *not* Amphibia's greatest treasure!

  [pull out to reveal Anne surrounded by visions of all the friends she made in Amphibia] 

• Anne Boonchuy : So what's going on? Am I dead or something?

  The Guardian : Yes. And no. I made a copy of you right before you expired. A backup, if you will. For all intents and purposes, you're the same Anne Boonchuy.

  Anne Boonchuy : Well, that's gonna cause some serious existential dread later on. So does that make you...

  The Guardian : Just a watcher. A viewer. I'm not in the demographic though.

• Anne Boonchuy : Change can be difficult, but it's how we grow. It can be the hardest thing to realize you can't hold on to something forever. Sometimes, you have to let it go; but, of the things you let go, you'd be surprised what makes its way back to you.
