Quotes and Lines
Nimona: Kids. Little kids. They grow up believing that they can be a hero if they drive a sword into the heart of anything different. And I’m the monster? I don’t know what’s scarier. The fact that everyone in this kingdom wants to run a sword through my heart… or that sometimes, I just wanna let ’em.
Nimona: This is the man who cut off your arm. Arm-chopping is not a love language!
Ballister Boldheart: What are you?
Nimona: I’m Nimona.
Nimona: Something, something, something… we win.
Ballister Boldheart: Did I ever mean anything to you? Or was it all just a lie?
Ambrosius Goldenloin: A lie? Says the guy running around with a monster!
Ballister Boldheart: Don’t call her that! She’s smart, kind, and quite sophisticated.
Nimona: I’d hate to say it, but you make a pretty good bad guy.
Ballister Boldheart: You want to know who the kid is?
Nimona: Ooh, I like where this is going.
Ballister Boldheart: You want to show them?
Nimona: I’d love to.
Ballister Boldheart: Let’s break stuff.
Nimona: Metal.
Nimona: Who do you want to kill first?
Ballister Boldheart: I’m not killing anybody.
Nimona: This one. This guy looks extremely punchable.
Ballister Boldheart: You’re right. He is actually extremely punchable.
Ballister Boldheart: What if you held it in? If you didn’t shape-shift?
Nimona: I’d die.
Ballister Boldheart: Good Gloreth, that’s horrible!
Nimona: Don’t be so gullible. I wouldn’t die die. I just sure wouldn’t be living.
Ballister Boldheart: I’m sorry! I’m sorry. I see you, Nimona, and you’re not alone.
Ballister Boldheart: He didn’t chop off my arm, he *dis*armed a weapon!
Nimona: Wooow. They brainwashed you good.
Ballister Boldheart: How did I get here?
Nimona: Oh, I dragged you for like seven miles.
Ballister Boldheart: What happened?
Nimona: Your head bounced on the sidewalk a couple times.
Ballister Boldheart: It’s all so foggy.
Nimona: Really? Well, you thanked me, said you’d forever be in my debt, and that we’d always be best friends. Totally happened.
Ballister Boldheart: You never said you could turn into me.
Nimona: Oh. By the way, I can turn into you.
Ballister Boldheart: Well, for the record, that is nothing like me.
Nimona: You’re right. You’re never that much fun.
Nimona: We are villains. Embrace it.
Ballister Boldheart: No. We’re doing things my way this time. No one gets hurt.
Nimona: I was going for the hurting people version.
