Charlize Theron credited as playing...
- Beetle: Stealth is my middle name.
- Monkey: You don't even have a first name.
- Monkey: He looked into my eyes and uttered four simple words. These words changed everything... You are my quest.
- Monkey: Your magic is growing stronger. You need to learn control. But when we grow stronger the world grows more dangerous.
- Kubo: Don't you ever say anything encouraging?
- Monkey: I encourage you not to die.
- Kubo: [Mockingly] I encourage you not to die.
- Kubo: Why does grandfather hate me?
- Monkey: Oh, Kubo. He doesn't hate you. He wants to make you just like him. Blind to humanity as I once was. Only then can you take your place beside him as part of his family. Cold and hard and perfect.
- Monkey: [to Kubo] Don't mess with the Monkey!
- Monkey: You have questions, I can tell.
- Kubo: Who...
- Monkey: You get three.
- Kubo: I think I have more.
- Monkey: Three. But first you're gonna eat.
- Kubo: Why only three?
- Monkey: Okay, that was your first question.
- Kubo: What?
- Monkey: [regarding Hanzo] In recognizing his compassion, I recognized my own.
- Monkey: Carry Kubo? That's your better idea? Look, I appreciate your help, I really do, but when it comes to the boy, I know what's best.
- Beetle: Is that right?
- Monkey: And what's best is to not be fielding ideas from a talking cockroach.
- Beetle: This coming from the talking monkey.
- Beetle: I have a feeling this is my destiny.
- Monkey: No, it isn't! We can't trust anything you say, because *you* can't trust anything you say.
- Kubo: [of Beetle] Monkey! I think he's in trouble! We should help him!
- Monkey: Kubo, your aunts are still out there! I'm sorry, but we have to head for shore!
- [Kubo jumps in the water, leaving Monkey distraught]
- Monkey: Kubo!
- [runs across the leafy galleon and jumps off to dive in for Kubo, but a mechanical hand attached to a chain grabs her by the leg and pulls her back onto the deck. She looks up above her as one of the sisters gently floats down towards the boat, holding the chain in her hand]
- The Sisters: Oh, how precious. I come here to fish, and all I reel in is a wretched ape. it is a shame that this filthy creature is all that's left of my sister's magic.
- Monkey: This filthy creature will tear you APART!
- [runs to the sister with a sword in her hands, jumps up and strikes at the sister who blocks the attack with a sword of her own]
