Chief Bookem quotes from Kirby: Right Back at Ya!

Looks like somebody's been feeding Kirby steroids!

The Rough Rangers Squad is the toughest fighting force on the planet. My buddies and me got stuck in some real jams on the battlefield, but we never gave up. It's like us Rangers always say, Tuff: "Always try!"

What?! This isn't good! That road leads to the Booma-Dooma Volcano! There's no telling when that thing's gonna blow!

[to the bees, about Dedede and Escargoon] Company bee, arrest these crooks!

You have the right to remain silent, ninja!

[to Dedede] I'm sorry, Your Highness, but I gotta do my duty. Next time you wanna steal, just raise our taxes.

[laughs] What do you know? It does bring good fortune.

Oh! Sorry, Kirby. Lots to do today. Gotta apprehend a couple of donuts!

If it's a survival test, I'm up for it. It might be a good way to stay in shape.

Attention all Cappies! Stay inside your homes! Keep your doors locked, and your windows shut! Kirby's on the loose!

Tell me, citizens of Dream Land. For what purpose have you come to consult me?

Sir Ebrum

We seek your wisdom and knowledge, Kabu! For three nights a giant monster has been stealing our sheep.

Lady Like

And it's robbing me of my beauty sleep.

King Dedede says it's not his monster...

But I don't believe that rascal.

You know the truth, Kabu!

Please tell us where the monster is, Kabu, and how we can make it go away.

The monster is here. And all of Dream Land is in grave danger.

Why did he come here?

It was called here by your own King Dedede. [in the distance, Dedede and Escargoon are watching from Dedede's tank]

Escargoon

Sounds like the big Kabu-na's got your number, crownie.

King Dedede

[punches Escargoon on the head] That tattle-telling tiki!

The monster was created, by one far more powerful than King Dedede.

I'd like to lock both of them up.

What can we do to stop them?

There is nothing you can do.

Sir Ebrum

Oh dear!

Lady Like

Oh dear me!

Then is Dream Land doomed?

Can anybody help, Kabu?

There is one hope... a Star Warrior traveling through space... whose name is Kirby.

Kirby.

Yay, Kirby!

Hmmm, bet he's cute!

King Dedede

[He and Escargoon enter] That's trash you're talking, Kabu. Ain't no such person as Kirby.

Escargoon

That's right. You're full of Kabu-loney.

Kabu can see the future.

King Dedede

Then why don't you predict what's gonna happen when I push this here button?

I predict you will not push it.

King Dedede

Hey Escargoon, did ya hear that one? [laughs] Well I predict you're dead wrong!

...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?

Escargoon

Clear! Clear for talent! Well whaddaya know? That skeleton's a dead ringer for King Dedede.

Chef Kawasaki

This means... there never was a Cappy King in the good old days.

There wasn't no good old days, either.

King Dedede

This makes my day! [laughs alongside Escargoon]

What's that?

Don't know, but it looks unfriendly.

King Dedede

Them Cappy-ccinos need half-and-half'in'! [sics Slice 'n Splice on the townsfolk, resulting in a massive mix-up of their body parts with several screams let out]

Oh, this is baaaa-d.

Aw, are you kidding?

King Dedede

[laughs] Un-baa-lievable!

Escargoon

Why'd ya have to go and mix us up with sheep? I know you like fleecing your subjects, but this is ridiculous.

Tokkori

Just look at me. I used to be fine and feathery. Now I'm fat and furry.

Have a gander at me, mate! A mammal's gotta be bats to want wings!

Tokkori

I want my body back as much as you do, but that there monster's too tough for us to tackle.

Crikey. Kirby's gonna have to give that beast a shalackin' so I can get me fur back.

Tokkori

Let's go find him.

Right.

King Dedede

Say, you Cappies look kinda sheepish. Hah! Sheepish! That's a good one! [laughs]

King Dedede! [Dedede looks at Bookem with a shocked expression on his face] Body-snatchin's illegal.

King Dedede

So what? You may have my body, but I'm still head around here!

We demand you return us to normal, your highness. We're one furious flock!

Chef Kawasaki

I like lamb chops, but this is ridiculous.

Escargoon

Listen, we don't wanna start a stampede. Let's give their bodies back and go after Kirby.

King Dedede

Good idea. I'm glad I thought of it. Listen up! I've done decided to be magnanimous and give y'all yer Cappy bodies back. Slice n' Splice, stick 'em all back together!

You sure are popular, Princess Rona.

Greetings, Princess.

Welcome to Cappy Town.

Chef Kawasaki

Hey, Princess!

Thank you all for your warm hospitality.

What an honor.

She's the prettiest princess who's ever been here.

Well, she's the only princess who's ever been here, Curio.
