- Max: [Max reasons with the gate guardian] Get with the program here buddy, I'm the Mighty-One! You got my Cap, how can I "beareth the Cap" if you've got it? You are the one keeping the Cap-Bearer from the Cap, you see? Is that in the job description? And, and, meanwhile, if Talon destroys the earth because you wouldn't let me save it, well sorry but, it's gonna be on your head-y'know, if you had one.
- Talon: [Talon tries to tempt Max with an offer of immortality] Can we not share this mystic disc? When the earth is thine and the astral domain is mine, we shall rule for all eternity! Thy death would ever-more await thee, and infinite tomorrows are boundeth for thee!
- Max: You know what Talon? That's really tempting, but something tells me you're not the one who dolls out eternity. So you want it-go get it!
- Talon: I have scavenged one million fleshless souls of man and beast, grant me passage to earth where I may hunt my fill-so long has it been since I have tasted pulp and blood!
- Max: A Virgil doll? I asked for a CD player...
- [he pulls the doll's string]
- Virgil: Virgil Doll: Greetings, Mighty One, a dire situation awaits you at the Rock of Gibraltar. Take the portal to the archery range, and next time, wait till your birthday to open your presents!
- Max: Great, a plastic chicken-doll telling me what to do...
- Virgil: Virgil Doll: Plastic fowl-doll, actually.
- Talon: The Mighty-One! Then all the souls of the earth are mine!
- Max: Whoa! That's not just another pretty face!
- Talon: Surrender fool, thou has entered the domain of Talon, hand over thy Cap!
- Max: Uh, sorry, my mom told me never to talk to strangers, especially ones with no skin and birds on their skulls-later!
