Nya quotes from Ninjago

[jumps out] Hey, guys! Couldn't wait for me, huh?

Nya

[gasps] Cole!

Lloyd

How— where—?

Jay

Th-Th-Th— We thought we'd lost you—y-you, jerk!

You can't get rid of me that easily.

Nya

Kai, a little heat, please.

Kai

But of course.

[slurps from his guzzler hat] Ah, this is the life!

Kai

We heard it, pal. Fighting all those bad guys, saving Ninjago.

I can't believe we're back to this.

Lloyd

What?

After every big victory, you get lazy, complacent, careless.

Kai

Uh, that is not true!

We're recovering. We're resting our muscles.

It was months ago.

Nya

Months? Really?

Are you sure?

Yes!

Kai

Well, who's counting?

I am! Look at yourselves! You've gone soft. You do nothing all day but play video games, and eat cake, and soak in this... this...

[looks around the water] Hot tub?

[enraged] IT'S NOT A HOT TUB! It's the sacred Bell of Divinity! Out! Out! All of you! [the ninja all complain at once] Emergency meeting in the monastery, in three minutes!

Zane

I see only one option: The digestive system of a beetle is very slow. There is a good chance the Thermolytic Inverter is still intact inside Beohernie's stomach.

Jay

Bernie.

Nya

What good does that do?

Zane

If one of us were to be ingested, we might be able to retrieve the device.

Ingested?

Kai

Uh, are you kidding?

Zane

If we can get inside Beohernie's stomach—

Jay

Bernie.

Zane

…We should in theory be able to retrieve the Inverter and exit again. Either through the creature's mouth or through the other end of the digestive—

Jay

[shakes his head vigorously] Lalalalalala, I don't wanna hear this!

Yeah, of all the bad ideas I've heard, and I've heard a few… Lookin' at you, Kai, this takes the cake!

Nya

I agree. It sounds nuts.

Zane

The facts are indisputable. We need the Inverter. The Inverter is inside the beetle. Ergo, one of us must enter the beetle and retrieve it.

Lloyd

Hmm…

Jay

Don't tell me you're considering this!

Lloyd

I'm open to other suggestions if anyone has one.

Nya

How do we decide? Who gets to... you know, be—

Zane

It was my idea. The responsibility is mine.

Lloyd

No, I'm the responsible one.

Kai

Guys, guys, you're both too valuable to risk. It should be someone expendable, like Jay.

Jay

WHAT?!

Well, look who's talking!

Lloyd

Guys, guys! We're going to settle this like adults.

Lloyd

We better get a move on!

Kai

Actually... I'm sitting this one out.

What?!

Kai

Aspheera stole my powers, remember? I can't help! I mean, Jay had to save me just now. Jay!

Jay

Huh, that's a weird way of saying thanks.

Kai

Just go without me. I'll only get in your way.

Lloyd

[puts a hand on Kai's shoulder] Powers don't make a hero.

Kai

Dude, that's just something that people with powers say to make people without powers feel better.

Lloyd

That's not true! We need you.

Nya

We don't have time to argue! The people in that museum need help!

She's right! We gotta go!

Lloyd

[to Kai] If you change your mind, you'll know where we'll be.

[run over to Kai] Hey! Fire Maker! Fire Maker! Fire Maker!

Make the fire! Make the fire!

Mine too!

Cook mine! Cook mine!

Kai

Okay, okay, one at a time.

Oh, yeah! You were right! Look at his big gang!

Kai

Hey, where are you going? There's more where that came from! Fire Maker has more miracles!

Nya

Fire Maker has more miracles?

Kai

Eh, just keeping the kids entertained.

Nya

Ah, okay, as long as you're not straining yourself.

[as Zane] Put down the staff and surrender, Aspheera. Your days of evil are over. [as Aspheera] Never! I will have my revenge if it's the last thing I do! [a child gasps in fear] Take that, Wu! Zap! Zap! [drops Wu's stick; as Zane] No! Look out, Master Wu! [as Aspheera] Zap! Zap! Ahh! [clashes Zane and Aspheera's sticks until Zane's stick snaps in half] Oh, no! [picks up Nya's stick] Zane is gone! [puts down Nya's stick and picks up his stick] What did you do to my friend? [as Aspheera, cackling. The children cower together as the story gets more intense] Take that! I banished him to the one place from which you can never return. The Never-Realm! [one of the children faints while the rest start crying and run away] Wait! W-W-W-Woah! Hey! Wait, it's okay, look, it's not real, it's just a story! [waves Aspheera's stick and it snaps in half; he chases after the children, while Kai, Nya, and Jay are working outside] It's just paper! I drew them!

Kai

What did you tell them, Cole?

Nothing! I was just telling them about Zane and Aspheera, and how she blasted him into the Never-Realm.

Nya

You think that story is appropriate for little kids?

Five to thirteen? Absolutely.

Nya

Oh, sorry! Uh, I'll just step aside.

Jay

[simultaneously] Um, I'm going to step aside. [they stop and chuckle] We just can't get in sync, can we?

Nya

Let's do something fun. We have the whole afternoon free.

Jay

Oh, I already made plans down at the arcade. There's this game I really want to beat.

Nya

Oh, no, that's... that's fine. [Jay notices her disappointment] Um, some other time, maybe. [turns around and starts to head into the dojo]

Jay

Hey, how about when I get back, we do something you want to do?

Nya

Really? Cause I've always wanted to take... [gasps] dance lessons! Riding, jumping, and fighting is great, but sometimes I just want to glide across the dance floor.

Jay

Oh. Anything else?

Nya

Come on, you're always playing video games. Don't you want to do something that pushes you? Expand your horizons?

Jay

[looks away, then back to Nya] I'll do this for you, Nya. On one condition, it stays between us.

Nya

[gasps and sighs, hugging Jay] Mm-hm.

Lloyd

Aaaaand he got away.

Nya

Since when can his truck do that?

Lloyd

Where were you guys?

Nya

We, uh... had a thing to take care of.

Jay

No way! Do you know what this is?! It's Prime Empire!

What?! No way!

Jay

Look at it! It says Prime Empire right on the side! [gasps] It's real!

Nya

Excuse me, can you two pretend that we're not all video game nerds and tell the rest of us what Prime Empire is?

Jay

Oh, it's this legendary game created by the most famous game designer ever! Milton Dyer. But for some reason, it was never finished and they abandoned it. [plugs in the plug and presses a button]

Well, that was exciting.

Kai

Can't have been that good if they never released it.

Zane

I find old games to be unchallenging.

Lloyd

Yeah, I like new ones, where they really make you feel like you're there.

Nya

How's it going?

Harder than expected, but I'm almost done customizing my avatar.

Kai

Wha—? Y-You haven't even started the game yet?

Winning's all about confidence. I gotta look cool when I'm fighting.

Nya

This is where they told us to meet. Only... there's no garage.

Lloyd

Why send us to an empty lot?

Kai

I told you, they're wackos! Anyone who likes Jay that much can't be normal.

Kai

This is incredible!

Nya

Are you sure this isn't a mistake?

Jay

[gasps] It's real! It's gotta be! It's addressed to us, look!

Lloyd

What? What is it? Bad news?

Zane

It is highly unusual.

Jay

Ooh, we gotta get ready!

Lloyd

What? What happened? Someone's located the Teapot of Tyrahn? Uh, Pythor's back? My father's been found? What?

Heh, you got an invitation, to Shintaro!

Lloyd

Shintaro?

Mm-hmm, the Ivory City! You don't deliver one of these every day. No siree.

Jay

Oh, ho! Fancy card!

That's the fanciest card I've ever seen. Oh, it even smells good.

Lloyd

Shintaro? As in, Shintaro?

As in the remote and exclusive mountain kingdom of Northern Ninjago.

Zane

Invitations to Shintaro are exceedingly rare. In recorded history, there have only been a handful of outsiders allowed into the Ivory City.

Jay

I've heard it's incredible! It's the most beautiful city in the world. And the people have wings. Haha! You can't beat wings.

Lloyd

What's it say? The invitation.

Jay

[reads the invitation] "King Vangelis of the Northern Kingdom of Shintaro of the Sky Folk, kindly requests your presence…" Of course he does. "…as honored guests…" Oh, that makes sense, "…to celebrate the birthday of the Princess, Vania."

Princess Vania? Who's that?

Nya

Apparently, the daughter of King Vangelis.

Zane

Little is known about Shintaro. Up until recently, it was still considered a mythical place.

Well, it looks like we're gonna see it. In person!

Nya

Let's go!

Jay

Ooh, I'm gonna pack!

Let's get the Bounty ready!

What's this about Shintaro?

Lloyd

We've been invited to the Kingdom of Shintaro, to attend Princess Vania's birthday. Master Wu, this is just what you need. This will get you out of your funk!

I am not in a "funk", and I'm not going. I'll stay here with Misako and P.I.X.A.L.. I can assist her in the hangar bay.

Lloyd

[whispering to Misako] He's in a funk. [to Wu] But how often does a chance to visit a legendary fabled kingdom come your way?

I've visited my share of legendary fabled kingdoms. Once you've seen one, you've seen them all. You go. Enjoy yourselves. You don't need me tagging along.

Misako

Now, you listen to me, Wu. I've had about enough of this moping around. You are going with the ninja!

I can't go charging off to far-flung places! Adventures and legendary kingdoms are for the young. You of all people should understand that.

Misako

[glaring angrily] Why should I understand?

[realizes his error] Uh, w-what I meant to say was, uh, um -

Misako

You listen to me, Wu. You are going on this journey, and you are going to like it! Is that understood?

But- but I- the chicken need-

Misako

Understood!? [to Lloyd] He's in.

Lloyd

Yes! This is gonna be just what we need!

Protect the Chancellor!

Protect the Queen!

Kai

Whoa, whoa. Easy, guys. Stand down!

Nya

Yeah, relax, it's okay!

You know the Munce Queen?

Kai

Yeah, it's my sister. And she's not that ugly.

Nya

[offended] Excuse me?

Skull Sorcerer

You'll perish at the talons of Grief-Bringer.

Grief-Bringer!

Nya

Okay, that's getting annoying.

Kai

Yeah, I don't know who to look at, you or the skull.

Jay

I'm looking at the skull, it's not as ugly. Hahaha!

Nya

[sees Jay] Jay!

Jay

Nya! Master Wu!

Lloyd

Where are they taking you?

Jay

I have no idea! But it's okay. They don't wanna hurt me, they want me to be their king! They keep calling me "Gift of Jay" and giving me things.

Nya

Uh, then why are your hands tied up? That makes no sense!

Well, since you're on such friendly terms, could you maybe get them to let us go?

Kai

And tell them to stop zapping us!

Jay

Oh, good idea! I'll try. [to the Keepers] Ahem. Guys? Okay, Gift of Jay wants you to untie his friends, okay?

Lloyd

Why are they putting you on a raft?

Misako

I don't think they want to give you anything, Jay. I think you're the gift.

Jay

Me? No, how can I be a gift?

Kai

Yeah, who'd want Jay?

Nya

Um, me?
