Tiff quotes from Kirby: Right Back at Ya!

My parents work for the King, and we live in the castle. In case you were wondering, my name's Tiff.

Kirby

Name Tiff.

Kirby

Name Tiff!

I'm her brother, Tuff.

Kirby

Tuff.

And we're their friends Fololo...

... and Falala!

Kirby

Fololo, Falala?

Guess Kirby must be a baby warrior.

...And as Mayor of Cappy Town, I know I speak for everyone when I say we're pleased and proud to welcome our honored guest, the mighty Star Warrior Kirby.

I can speak for myself, thank you.

Hah, we all know that, Chief Bookem.

Let's hurry up and eat.

Kirby doesn't understand what you're saying anyway.

Then let's dig in, shall we?

Kirby

Poyo.

[yells in frustration and falls face-first on the table surface] I knew I should've started eatin'.

Hey, what's the big idea, Kirby?

[about what Kirby did to Octacon's miniature octopus] He sucked 'em up.

Just like he sucked up our dinner.

Meta Knight

It is Kirby's classic defense - inhale.

King Dedede

This here's an illegal gatherin', so if you rioters don't want to get incarcerated, cease and disperse immediately.

Rioters?

Hey! We're just having a party.

Escargoon

Oh goody. They're resisting.

King Dedede

Then I enforce to use force.

Meta Knight came here to see you, didn't he, Kabu?

He came here to consult with me about the threat to our planet.

Threat to the planet? What do you mean, Kabu?

There is a secret empire of evil ruled by one known as eNeMeE. [a flashback is shown of a shadowed Nightmare placing Chess monsters on the chessboard in his lair] It is his plan to control the entire universe. He creates monsters and delivers them to customers like Dedede, who do not know their true purpose. But eNeMeE made one grave mistake. [Nightmare grimaces in pain as the shadowed sphere he was about to place on the chessboard has just stabbed his finger with a sword] One creature was produced that would not obey his orders, and eNeMeE fears it may defeat him. [Nightmare furiously slams the chessboard as the flashback ends]

The creature must be... Kirby.

Yeah, and that must be why eNeMeE's trying to get rid of him.

That is the likely explanation.

Well, we better get going, Kabu. Thanks for the information.

Hey, Kabu. How'd ya find out about all this stuff?

I learned it long ago, from Meta Knight.

Say what?!

From Meta Knight?!

King Dedede

QUIET!!! [pointing at Tiff] You're hidin' somethin' from me!

Hmph.

Sir Ebrum

Please, Your Majesty, calm down.

Lady Like

Use your brain instead of your mouth. [Sir Ebrum tries to shush her]

King Dedede

Sir Ebrum. Lady Like. This here daughter of yours is holdin' information from me. She keepin' secrets about Kirby.

Escargoon

You've been aiding an alien, you traitor.

Well if she's a traitor, prove it!

King Dedede

It just so happens I got proof right here. [holds up a picture of a familiar-looking scene] This picture look familiar?

That's Kirby beatin' the monster!

King Dedede

[tears another picture in half] Now what do you got to say for yourselves?

Lady Like

[as she and the rest of the family look at the pictures] That Kirby is really photogenic.

Sir Ebrum

Did you use a digital camera, Sire?

King Dedede

Listen here! You two think you're smart, don't ya? Well I'm a lot smarter. [holds up a picture of Kirby's starship] Kirby ain't goin' nowhere without this!

Meta Knight

This is not a storm. It is a monster, brought here by King Dedede. It is called Kracko.

Kracko?

Meta Knight

The king is jealous and suspicious of Kirby. He will do anything to get rid of him. So he has been ordering monsters.

I know. Kabu told me.

Meta Knight

There is a company. They call it... Nightmare Enterprises. [starts flashback] It was created thousands of years ago, by one known as eNeMeE. eNeMeE's goal is to conquer the entire universe. To do this, he created legions of monsters and sent them throughout the galaxies. But they were challenged. Those who loved freedom fought mightily against the monsters. They formed armies, and called themselves Star Warriors. We fought bravely, but eNeMeE's monster warriors outnumbered the Star Warriors. Our ranks dwindled until only one Star Warrior remained. I was alone; injured, but alive. I had survived, and luckily, a spark of hope survived with me.

Hope?

Meta Knight

Yes. The hope that I would not be the last warrior. [ends flashback] It was my hope that young warriors would appear. Warriors with new strength and new spirit. Warriors who would battle to defeat eNeMeE. [starts another flashback] That is why I came to this planet, to serve King Dedede. [ends flashback]

To serve King Dedede? Why would you want to work for somebody like him?

Meta Knight

Starships are designed to automatically fly warriors to where monsters are detected. The king likes monsters, so I hoped a young warrior would come here.

You were right, Meta Knight! Kirby came here!

Meta Knight

Yes, but too soon. Kirby's Starship detected the King's monster, but Kirby was not scheduled to awaken for another 200 years. That is why his ship crash-landed. He is totally untrained. He cannot speak. He can barely think!

Then Kirby is just a baby.

Meta Knight

Yes, but luckily, he has great natural abilities. If he develops them properly, he may be able to defeat eNeMeE. And I can help him.

Then you are gonna help Kirby, aren't you?

Meta Knight

My help will not be enough to make him a warrior. Kirby will also need your help. The Warp Star is the source of Kirby's power. He has only to see it to get his power, but he is unable to guard the star for himself. It can only be kept safe by one who truly loves and cares for him.

Well, I kept it safe so far, didn't I?

Meta Knight

Yes, so far. But this monster is much more powerful than the others... Perhaps too powerful for even the Warp Star to help Kirby defeat it.

Meta Knight

You have done well. You hold the power to summon the Warp Star.

Uh, yeah. But can Kirby beat Kracko...?

Meta Knight

Sword Kirby.

All right!

Come on, Sword Kirby!

Our planet's ecosystem is a marvel of symbiotic relationships among all living things, large and small. Wow, isn't that amazing, Kirby? [notices Kirby is missing] Kirby? Kirby!

I guess Kirby must've got bored and went for a walk or something.

King Dedede never gave anybody anything except a headache.

He's giving us all televisions with DDD!

DDD?

Meta Knight

King Dedede may be a despicable dictator, but you've got to admit he's got some funny shtick.

Oh, please. I've had toothaches funnier than King Dedede.

Meta Knight

Our deeds bind us to fate as surely as the sun sets.

Could you say that in English?

But mom, who needs to know subtraction?

Lady Like

You do, when I subtracts your allowance!

[gulps] Daaaddyyyyy...

Sir Ebrum

Stiff upper lip, boy. Your mother's only joshing.

Lady Like

Ebrum. If we don't teach Tuff discipline, who will? After all, we are his parents.

That's right, Lady Like. You are Tuff's parents.

But where did we come from?

Sir Ebrum

Oh, well, you see, one day, a rather large stork popped by and--

Yeah, in your dreams, dad.

Lady Like

Tuff!

[tugs on Lady Like's dress a little] Why don't you just tell us the truth, mom? We can handle it.

Lady Like

Ah, we found them in a cribbage patch, sweetie.

Sir Ebrum

Yes. The same place we got you and your brother from.

That's baloney! Where did they really come from?!

Sir Ebrum

[as he and Lady Like move their children out of their quarters] No need to concern yourselves with ancient history.

Lady Like

Too much thinking is bad for your brain.

Does this mean I don't have to do my math homework?

Lady Like

Of course not, darling. [closes door]

You think we're gonna get weird like that when we get old?

Probably.

Uh, you guys look a little mixed up.

What happened?

They got the right heads but the wrong bodies!

Tokkori

No kiddin', columbo.

His monster mixed us up.

What monster?

Tokkori

Dedede's monster, and Kirby's gotta change us back pronto!

I'm fed up with havin' feathers.

WE NEED KIRBY!

Tokkori

There you are! We got big trouble, buddy-boy!

Ah, mate's got a muzzle on his mouth.

Tokkori

What's up with that, Junior?
