Tristan Taylor quotes from Yu-Gi-Oh!

[shocked] Say what?!

Allow me to clear things up for you. A few moments ago, I sent three monsters to my graveyard, one of which saved me. That card was this, my Electromagnetic Turtle! When this monster was destroyed, it created an electromagnetic barrier, shielding my magician from your attack.

No way. He had that planned all along!

Tristan

In your face, meathead!

[thinking] The Pharaoh's gonna pay for mocking the power of my Guardian Eatos. [speaking] I END MY TURN!

Perhaps you should've thought twice before you poisoned your own monsters with the dark powers of the Orichalcos. Take it from someone with experience. Betraying your monsters only backfires in the end.

You played the Seal of Orichalcos once and all of a sudden you're an expert of the subject?

You can't win a duel with defense, Pharaoh. All you're doing is stalling for time. Well, I'm afraid your time's just run out. Eatos, destroy his most valuable monster, the Dark Magician!

Tristan

Oh, no!

Pharaoh!

Mokuba

Do something!

Magical Hats, activate! Hide my monsters!

What's going on?!

Tristan

Awesome! Magical Hats shuffled Yugi's monsters so Blondie blasted the wrong one.

Mokuba

That's true, but he gets to attack again, so Yugi's magician's still in danger!

All right, one of these three remaining hats is concealing my monster, so go ahead! Hit me with your best shot!

[thinking] Three hats and one monster. I know what I have to do. I'll use Elma to improve my odds, then I'll send Grarl to finish things off. [speaking] Go, Elma! Find his Dark Magician! [Guardian Elma strikes her butterfly dagger at the second hat] Now I have a 50-50 shot. Guardian Grarl, attack!

Wrong hat!

Oh, no!

What a shame. Looks like you used up all of your chances.

[thinking] How could I have messed that up?! I was about to win the duel and capture the Pharaoh! [speaking] My turn's not over yet! I activate my Rod of Silence! This lets me play another Guardian monster, my all-powerful Guardian Kay'est!

[horrified shock] What's that?!

[terrified] I've got one word: nasty!

Tristan

Here's four: I'm gonna be sick.

For the last time, what is that thing?!

I told you-- when Eatos goes to the graveyard, this monster is summoned to the field in its place. So say hello to my Guardian Dreadsycthe!

Hello and goodbye. It's no match for my dragon!

It will be. First, I'll boost its strength with my Reaper Scythe magic card. Now, for the best part, thanks to its new weapon, my Guardian of darkness gains 500 attack points for every monster in my graveyard.

But why? I thought you despised having monsters in your graveyard!

But I despise you even more, so what's a few monsters in the grave if it means destroying you forever? And with only 500 Life Points left, you won't last long.

First, I'll use the magic of Underworld Circle to bring my Big Shield Gardna back from the graveyard! Then, I'll activate my Pot of Greed! This let me draw two cards. [thinking] Excellent. That's just the card I've been waiting for! [speaking] Time to face what you did… when you betrayed your heart! For now, I activate the magic card, Spider Web, which let me use a card from your graveyard!

What's the point of all this?

I'm using my Spider Web to bring back your Monster Reborn card. And I'm planning on using it to save you by setting you free from the darkness!

Yeah, whatever.

I use Monster Reborn to revive a creature that once saved your life and that you in turn, deserted! [resurects Guardian Eatos]

Eatos?!

What's he gonna do with that card?

Mokuba

Hopefully win.

One more thing. [thinking] Joey… I can only accomplish this with your help. [speaking] I summon The Claw of Hermos!

Tristan

Hey, Joey! Check it out, man! He just summoned your boy!

And now, Hermos and Queen's Knight, combine together to form Goddess Bow! That doubles the attack points of Guardian Eatos! And since Eatos has been removed from your graveyard, your Dreadscythe gets weaker!

What are you up to? Our monsters are even now. So if you attack, they're both destroyed. But mine comes back!

We'll see about that! I have a few more surprises planned! Eatos attack his Dreadscythe, NOW! I activate the special ability of my Goddess Bow! Now every time your Dreadscythe revives itself, Eatos can attack again!

No!

And don't forget, with each attack, you lose another card!

Mokuba

Of course! If Rafael runs out of cards, his monster can't come back!

The dark flame of your Dreadscythe is now extinguished.

Tristan

Dude, what's with all these people chiseled in stone?

They're not just any people! Take a look!

[shocked] Oh, no! There's Mai and Weevil!

Tristan

This must be everyone who lost their soul!

Yugi!

[voice-over] What a touching reunion. Too bad your friends turned out to be a bunch of stiffs. [laughing evilly and reveals himself from fire]

Dartz!

You were expecting someone else? Well, due to the carelessness of my employees, I'm the only one left. You can't find good help these days.

Look, I want my company back, so can the small talk!

Is that so? Well, guess what? We all want something. As for me, I want your souls for my wall. I even have the spot picked out.

Save it, Dartz! It'll take a lot more than a few party tricks to scare me!

Now, for the last time, release our friends!

That's not possible.

What do you mean?

I mean they've already been put to use. As we speak, their life energy supplies to the most devastating creature that ever lived.

Oh, great. Now, what?

My 10,000 year old collection is almost complete. Once I get you two, the beast can rise.

Hold on! You've been collecting souls for all those years?! Do you know how many lives you've destroyed?!

[snickers evilly] Millions! And each one of them deserved their fate! Take a moment to look around, won't you? Some of my favorite conquests are in this very room. And since it's taken me millennia to complete, it's quite the history lesson.

He's right. Look at the outfits on these guys.

Mokuba

So some of these people lived in the past?

Now you're catching on. Ever since the Great Leviathan was laid to rest, I've been gathering the energy necessary to fuel its rebirth.

Come on, you expect us to believe that junk?

Ye of little faith. Just duel me and I promise I'll make a believer out of you, For when you lose, there will be no denying my power.

Then let's stop talking and start dueling.

You can't, Kaiba-- not alone. This lunatic is far too dangerous.

So why don't you join him? And when I defeat you, [activates his chaos duel disk] I'll get two souls for the price of one!

All right. Ready, Kaiba?

I'm way ahead of you.

Mokuba

All right! Dartz better watch out! They just summoned two major league monsters on their first turn!

Those pathetic creatures may work in your little card tournaments, but I'm afraid I play a completely different game-- a game in which the winner takes ALL, and the loser pays the ultimate price! This card was born from the darkness itself! [echoes] Behold, a power that has existed since the dawn of time. The very power that shall strip you of your souls! [plays the Seal of Orichalcos]

Oh, no!

The Seal of Orichalcos!

Mokuba

Whoa. Do you feel that?

Tristan

If you mean the sudden drop in temperature and that freaky evil vibe in the air, then yes, I do.

[worried] Me too.

Now that I've set the tone for this duel, allow me to continue. Watch this… Arise, Orichalcos Gigas!

I faced this beast before, and it was almost impossible to destroy, Kaiba.

That's 'cause last time you didn't have me to bail you out.

Next, I'll sacrifice 500 of my Life Points. That let's me summon my Orichalcos Kyutora. And, thanks to the Seal, it gets an additional 500 points. All right. I guess that'll do for now.

Gentlemen, welcome to the second level of darkness!

The what?!

I don't know how. But Dartz just added another layer to the Seal of Orichalcos!

Right! So what does that mean?

The first benefit of my Orichalcos Deuteros, is the addition of 500 Life Points each turn for every monster I have on the field. Therefore, since I have two, that's 1,000 points!

What?! How are we supposed to wipe him out?!

You're not. It makes me invincible! Next, I'll attack your Master of Dragon Soldier! Go, my Orichalcos Gigas!

Nice try! But my dragon's too strong!

Kyutora, absorb all the damage! [chuckles] My Life Points are safe. And now, my Gigas returns!

Tristan

That creep! He's letting his Orichalcos Gigas get its butt kicked on purpose, so it can come back stronger!

[thinking] That can't be it. His monster would have to be destroyed seven more times before it could defeat my dragon. So there must be more to his plan. Perhaps the secret lies in his Kyutora, and its ability to absorb attack damage. Yes! That creature must have another special ability!

All right, Dartz, my move! [thinking] As long as that eyesore is on the field, it's pointless to attack his Orichalcos Gigas because Dartz won't lose any Life Points. Plus, Gigas will just come back stronger. But if I attack Dartz directly, I should be able to win the duel! [speaking] I place one card facedown on the field! And next… I summon my Blade Knight! And since I have only one card left in my hand, Blade Knight gets another 400 attack points! I think that'll do for now.

[thinking] He's setting himself up for something.

[thinking] Yugi better not screw this up for me.

So tell me, Gentlemen, what do you think of my newest soldiers? I'm sure there's no need for any introductions.

That's not funny, Dartz.

Maybe not to you.

That's enough.

Just drop the magic act and let's duel.

But we are dueling, you insensible twit. We're just doing it by my rules, that's all. Since I now control the souls of your former friends, I thought it would be fun to let them play along with us.

Leave them alone, Dartz!

Tristan

What did they do to you?!

You should be thanking me.

And why's that?

I'm giving you one last chance to see your companions. Before their souls are gone forever.

You'll never take them away from us, Dartz!

That's right, Pharaoh. Let your anger consume you. Feel the darkness within you beginning to spread. The stronger your rage, the more powerful the Great Leviathan will be when it absorbs your soul. Now where we? Ah, yes. Mirror Knight Yugi. It's time to attack your other half.

No, Yugi! Fight it! I know you can hear me!

What's this? My soldier is still loyal to you? How touching. Even though you turned your back on him, he refuses to seek revenge. That will soon change.

We'll see.

Mokuba

He's been captured!

Rafael.

Tristan

Oh, man.

Can you hear us?

[evilly laughing, Rafael in stone next to Alister and Valon.] Another soul, another step closer to awakening the great beast. [evil laughing]

Kyutora has another ability! Whenever it's destroyed, it evolves!

Oh, no! What's going on?!

What is that?!

My little friend is all grown up, so playtime's over! Gentlemen, I'd like you meet Orichalcos Shunoros!

Did you see what I see?!

Unfortunately.

See what?

Tristan

That thing's got 20,000 points!

Don't look so surprised. You're the ones who created this unstoppable beast! You may have destroyed my previous monsters, but you unleashed something far worse!

It can wipe us out in one strike!

You're absolutely right, but before I do that, I have some more bad news to share. Orichalcos Shunoros, activate your special ability! Release Orichalcos Dexia… and Orichalcos Aristeros!

What's the meaning of this?!

Allow me to clear things up. Shunoros just released two more creatures. The first one is known as Dexia, and its attack strength is always 300 points higher than the monster it's battling, making it the perfect sword! And the second one is just as strong. It will intercept every one of your attacks and retaliate with a blast that's 300 points greater than the one you fired, making Orichalcos Aristeros the perfect shield! You'll never get past my triple threat!

[thinking] Not only is his monster more powerful than Kaiba's dragon… but with Dexia and Aristeros on the front line, our attacks won't even get through!

I activate the trap card, Martyr Curse! This forces one of your monsters to engage in a battle with one of my monsters. And as a nasty little side effect, it cancels out any special abilities your creature may have. And since I don't seem to have much of a choice, I'll target your Mirror Force Dragon! Without its reflecting power, your dragon's completely defenseless, which means you're about to be out one soul! Orichalcos Shunoros, remove Kaiba's Life Points so the Orichalcos can remove his spirit!

[Sees Yugi standing with his back to them] Is that Yugi?

Tristan

Nah, it's the Pharaoh.

No, Tristan, I think Yugi's back!

Mokuba

He does kinda look shorter.

[in tears] It is you, Yugi!

Téa?

I thought we'd never see you again!

It's good to see you, too.

Joey

All right, Out of my way people. Where's my little buddy? Ha Ha! Yug! Man did I miss this spikey little head.

Hey, Joey!

The gang is back!

Tristan

Don't forget about me!

Yugi, the Legendary Knights have set you free.

Does that mean you beat Dartz?

Yes, Yugi. But as soon as our duel ended, he disappeared into some vortex, and I have a bad feeling the worst is yet to come, but at least we'll face it together.

Duke

Hey, where is Joey?

[shocked] Joey! What are you doing here?!

Joey

Hey! There's a two-for-one sale on wienies!

Tristan

Joey!

Mokuba

You should on the Amazon Adventure trail!

Joey

Guess again, pal! Joey doesn't duel on an empty stomach! I gotta bulk up for my first match.

Mokuba

Wake up! Your first match has already started!

Joey

Huh?!

Mokuba

And if you don't get your butt over to that dueling site in the next 10 minutes, THEN YOU'LL BE DISQUALIFIED!

Now I play… a magic card known as Ancient City!

Joey

What is that thing?

Well, as the card's name suggests, it's an ancient city, but that's just the beginning of my archeological assault! Next, I sacrifice Wandering Mummy… in order to summon my Ancient Giant! Of course, it comes with a slight catch. As long as it remains face up on the field, I have no choice but to attack you with it. And if I don't attack, then I lose 300 of my Life Points.

Tristan

Joey doesn't stand a chance against that thing!

I'd suggest summoning a monster if you'd like to stay in the game, Joseph.

Joey

I can arrange that. In fact, I'll play five for the price of one! Go, Goblin Attack Force! Now, knock his Ancient Giant right out of the ballpark, boys!

Not so fast, slugger! Activate Ordeal of a Traveler! This card is about to make the game more interesting. I choose a random card from my hand, and you have to guess whether it's a magic, trap, or monster card. If you guess incorrectly, your monster is returned to your hand. Guess correctly, and you can attack. So what type of card do I have in my hand? Let's go. You've got a 1-in-3 chance.

Yugi's grandpa is beating Joey at his own game!

Tristan

'Cause he knows Joey's strategy. He did teach him how to duel, after all.

Joey

Well, here goes. It's a trap card-- or a magic card. It's a monster! [having trouble guessing] I NEED MORE TIME!

I'm not getting any younger.

Joey

All right, my answer is… you're holding a trap card!

[imitates buzzer] Survey says, "monster card!"

Joey

That was my next guess.

I'm afraid your goblins will have to wait. Now, my eyesight's not what it used to be, but it looks to me like you're defenseless!

Joey

[setting a card facedown] I end my turn.

Sounds good to me.

Joey

The only thing I'm scared of is that hairdo. [turns to Zigfried] Hey, buddy! Pinky the Clown called! He wants his ring back!

Oh, like you're in any position to be making fun of anyone's hairdo.

Joey

I heard that!

Duke

Take it down a notch, will you? You're too high-strung to duel.

Joey

Who you callin' high-strung?! I'm cool as a cucumber!

Tristan

Oh, yeah. Real cool.

Joey

I'm not in a mood!

Tristan

You want a piece of me? [he and Joey scuffle]

[attempts to break up the scuffling duo] Can you two grow up for five minutes? [she gets pinned against the wall] I need some female friends!

[in unison] He started it!
