Meskia, Capital City [2.2]

 * [Uragon has just broken down the door to Kelb's restaurant; in response, Utu draws his weapon.]
 * Kelb: Hey...hey! That is a new axe!
 * Utu: Not bad, right? I used up most of my prize money buying this thing, but it was worth it!

Meltland, City of Dreams [2.3]

At the Dream's End [2.9]

 * [Kaaya is lamenting her failure to stop her friends from following her into the Tower of Fantasy.]
 * Coopa: You're in so much pain, so miserable that you want to crawl into a dark hole somewhere and die, don't you? Because you were supposed to be the one and only tragic heroine who sacrificed herself for a much higher cause, but now we've screwed everything up.
 * Kaaya: No! That's not what I mean!
 * Coopa: Your body hurts all over and you're starving to death and there's something terribly wrong with your bowel movements as of late, and your chronic athlete's foot is acting up again, and it's more than your tender little heart can bear, right? Is that closer to what you're saying?

He Who Shoots the Gods [2.11]

 * Jil: Yeah? What's your point?
 * Shadow of Gilgamesh: They really piss me off!


 * Shadow of Gilgamesh: Your name?
 * Jil: I am Jil, son of Marka.

Without Letting Go [2.12]

 * Neeba: There is something empowering about blowing up a mountain.


 * Neeba: All this time, I managed to mistake my sibling rivalry for a God complex. I really must be crazy.
