Quotes
-
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 : That guy just peed his armor! He peed his armor!

Nimona : [still disguised as a little boy] I'd hate to say it, but you make a pretty good bad guy.
[Ballister glares at her]

Ballister Boldheart : You want to know who the kid is?

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.
-
Nimona : [In the cleaning supplies closet] Not an exit. That's on me.
Ballister Boldheart : [Referring to Goldenloin] Did you see the way he looked at me? He really thinks I killed the queen.
Nimona : Everyone thinks you killed the queen.
[Smacks Ballister on the head]
Nimona : Snap out of it, boss!
Ballister Boldheart : Ow! What was that for?
Nimona : [Holding Ballister's face with both hands] Look, I can get us out of here, but things are about to get... weird.
Ballister Boldheart : About to get weird?
Nimona : Promise me you won't freak out.
Ballister Boldheart : How can I promise if I don't know what's gonna happen?
Nimona : Well, I guess you'll just have to trust me.
Ballister Boldheart : Why would I trust you? !
Nimona : [an axe chops through the wooden door] Because if you don't, you're gonna die in this closet!
Ballister Boldheart : Die?
Nimona : Now promise!
Ballister Boldheart : I promise!
Nimona : Promise promise?
Ballister Boldheart : [Arrows whooshing around him] On my life!
Nimona : [Grabs an arrow before it hit her] Then say it again.
Ballister Boldheart : [while holding a toilet plunger with a tissue roll] I PROMISE!
Nimona : Oh, wow... even when you see the horn?
Ballister Boldheart : Horn? ! What do you mean... like a trumpet?
Nimona : JUST PROMISE!
Ballister Boldheart : [rapidly] I PROMISE PROMISE PROMISE I WILL NOT FREAK...
Ballister Boldheart : [Nimona shapeshifts into a rhinosaurus as Ballister watches in disbelief, open mouthed] Uh...
[Nimona bursts out of the room]
Nimona : [to the knights] This is the part where you run.

Nimona : Evil Larry. That's a great villain name. You should totally change your name.
Ballister Boldheart : Never going to happen.
Nimona : Whatever, Larry.
-
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.
-
Ballister Boldheart : He didn't chop off my arm, he *dis*armed a weapon!
Nimona : Wooow. They brainwashed you good.
-
Ballister Boldheart : We're never gonna make it on that train without them seeing us. We need a distraction.
Nimona : Who has four thumbs and is great at distractions?
Ballister Boldheart : Fine, but dial it down. Something inconspicuous and discreet like... And she's gone.

Ballister Boldheart : [Nimona in disguise]
[burbles]
Ballister Boldheart : Yaah! I'm evil, and I hate everybody! Not as much as I hate myself. Can somebody give me a hug? Baah! I hate smiles!
Knight Guard 1 : Got him!
Ballister Boldheart : [Nimona in disguise] I hate Cupcakes! And I think babies are ugly! Hoo hoo! Look at this! I'm Loitering, and I'm littering. I hope you all like freestyle Jazz.
[Plays random notes on Saxophone]
Knight Guard 1 : Get him!

Knight Guard 1 : Stop pushing me! I'm trying!
Knight Guard 2 : I'm not Pushing! I'm encouraging you forward!
Knight Guard 1 : Well, do it without hitting!

Ballister Boldheart : I'm still taking the 600 gold.

Ballister Boldheart : You never told me you could breathe fire.
Nimona : Oh.
Ballister Boldheart : Metal. Best two out of three?

Nimona : It's better than your plan of "I'm gonna sit in the dark and mope in a room with no toilets."
Ballister Boldheart : I wasn't moping!
