Marik and Yugi in “Unfinished Business”

[speaking through Arkana while taking control of his mind] So, we meet again, little Yugi. I'm sure I need no introduction.

Why don't you show your face to me, Marik?! Coward!

I'll reveal myself to you when the time is right and no sooner… once I obtain what is mine! And you know exactly what I want. The unlimited power of the ancient Pharaoh! The spirit that lives within your Puzzle.

No way, Marik!

You can't stop me! Remember when I took control of Bandit Keith? I almost succeeded in separating you from the Millennium Puzzle forever! Unfortunately, you were able to put it back together before you and your spirit friend, Yami, were destroyed.

[demanding] Tell me why you want Yami's power! Answer me!

Because that power is rightfully mine! And once I have it, I will be unstoppable! The world will belong to me… and no one will stand in the way of my destiny! Especially not you!

Oh, yeah?! Just watch me, Marik!

Listen, little Yugi… my family has slaved for centuries. Protecting the tomb of the Pharaoh until his return. And for what?! I should be the Pharaoh!

[defensively] Never! You won't get the power of the Pharaoh, and I'll make sure of it! That power belongs to Yami, not you!

Ha! Well we'll just see about that, little Yugi. You're nothing but a vessel for the Pharaoh's spirit. You could never comprehend his strength, nor could you stand in my way of getting it! We've given up too much to let someone else claim the throne. I was raised on the ancient scriptures, learning all there is to know about King Yami the Pharaoh And the shadow games. The key to his power is your Puzzle and the three Egyptian God cards. But I can't just take the Millennium Puzzle from you. According to the ancient scriptures, I have to defeat you in a duel first. Then I'll banish you to the Shadow Realm!

But why would you do that?!

To make sure you stay out of my way! Once I gain control of the Millennium Puzzle and obtain all three Egyptian God cards, I'll be king! And a much more worthy king than your counterpart, Yami. He doesn't even know how to harness the great powers that lie dormant within him! I, on the other hand, know full well how to take them from him. And my Millennium Rod will ensure that I get everything I need!
