• [looking at the Pool of Visions] 

  Sparx : So what's with the pool, big guy?

  Ignitus : If you must know, certain dragons have the ability to see visions... the thoughts, memories, and dreams of others... and to see what's happening in places far, far away. I am one such dragon, and in this pool the visions come forth.

  Sparx : Oh really, is that so? Okay what am I thinking now?... What am I thinking now? Okay, now? Now? Now, now, now, now, now?

  Ignitus : I'm afraid it's not that easy, Sparx. It takes time, reflection, and patience.

• Cyril : Yes, yes, Volteer. I see that months of tortured captivity has down nothing to slow that electric tongue of yours from incessantly wagging.

  Volteer : It's just that it's all so exciting, exhilarating, enchanting, enthralling...

  Sparx : All right, no more thesaurus for you, pal.

  Ignitus : All of you PLEASE be quiet!

• Ignitus : In the Year of the Dragon, in a world beyond realms... I, like all the others, awaited the birth of the dragon of whom the prophecies foretold. But the Dark Master heard the prophecies as well. I should have hidden the eggs long before, but I... I thought we were ready. I thought they were safe... oh... how I was wrong.

• Sparx : [after hearing Ignitus' story]  Wow... sounds... fun. I wanna hang out with this guy.

  Spyro : Yeah, why have you given up? I just find out that I'm this special dragon, and you tell me all is lost? That I have no home or family left? I've come way too far to give up now. I wanna see where I come from.

  Sparx : Hold up, savior boy, were you not listening to this guy? He's talking about flying dragons, and war, and horrible... this is bad stuff, alright? I don't know if we're hearing the same thing...

  Ignitus : Yes, Spyro. It's not as simple as that. It's true, the prophecies spoke of a purple dragon destined to his stamp on this age, but the prophecies didn't foretell the devastation that surrounds us now.

  Spyro : Maybe you're right, but I'm willing to try. I want to take the first step.

  Sparx : You're actually going to go along with this lunatic?

  Ignitus : Very well then. We'll go. You deserve to see your beginning before it all ends.

  Sparx : Am I the only one sane here? He's telling us we're doomed alright? That's when I go, "ah, maybe we should, you know, go back to the forest with the flowers and the fun stuff".

• Ignitus : This was once your home, Spyro. Together we can make it our home once again... reclaim what's rightfully ours.

  Spyro : What do you mean?

  Ignitus : I mean that my time for heroics are past... but with your help, we might be able to beat Cynder.

  Spyro : I... I can't, Ignitus. I just learned what I am.

  Ignitus : You can, Spyro. You can. You are a purple dragon... a very special creature. You've given me hope again. Now it's time to give hope to all of them.

  Spyro : I'm not sure what help I can be, Ignitus, but I'll try... I'll try.

  Ignitus : Good. That's all I can ask. Now come with me, I have something for you.

• Ignitus : Spyro... Cyril, the Ice Guardian, was taken to Tall Plains. You and Sparx must go there at once and find him.

  Spyro : Yes sir.

  Sparx : But if we see danger we should run... right?

  Ignitus : There are times when all of us need to stand up to danger, young Sparx.

  Sparx : Yeah, maybe next month, next summer, perhaps next year...

  Ignitus : Just go... now!

• Ignitus : If the Dark Master escapes, a shadow will fall over the land, and who knows what will happen then. May the ancestors look after you. May they look after all of us.

• Ignitus : Now, it's time to unleash the true dragon within you.

• Ignitus : Feeling better, Spyro?

  Spyro : No really, Ignitus. That battle drained every last bit of my strength. I can hardly lift my head.

  Ignitus : Yes, it will take some time for your powers to return. But they will in time, young dragon. They will in time. Cynder, ever since I failed the night of the raid, I've dreamt of this day.

  Volteer : It wasn't just you, Ignitus. We all failed.

  Ignitus : Be that as it may... we're together again now... thanks to Spyro. Well done, young dragon.

  Spyro : Thanks, Ignitus, but we still don't know what's happened to the Dark Master...

  Terrador : No matter, Spyro. There will be time to talk of the Dark Master later. Now it's time to be grateful for your success.

  Sparx : His success? What about me? Just because a bunch of weird stuff doesn't fly out of my mouth, doesn't mean I didn't help, ya know!

  Spyro : Yeah, you were a big help, Sparx. No doubt about it. But... just for the record... a lot of weird stuff does come out of that little mouth of yours.

  Sparx : And what the heck is that supposed to mean? You know, I don't need this. I could have stayed with the... Llama people, whatever, where I was appreciated, but no! No. I decided to help the poor helpless dragons rid the world of evil. What a mistake that was becaue I get no thanks, no respect, no love, no credit...

  Ignitus : My goodness... and I thought Volteer talked a lot.

  Sparx : I left home too, you know. I'm a little guy. yeah, that's right. Maybe you haven't noticed, but things are a lot bigger to me than they are to you. And did I back away? Uh-ah! Nah, nah, nah! Why? Because I've got moxy, I'm a tough cookie, I've got class... I got a fro...

  [cough] 

  Sparx : I got a little frog in my throat... As I was saying, on Tall Plains they knew a good thing when they saw it, they recognized the value of a quality dragonfly like me... but here I get nothing... not even a thanks, hey, how are you doing, good, let me buy you a drink. I should go back to the swamp... Mom'll make it all good... Mommy always does...
