- Laguna Loire: [about Firion] He's pretty interesting.
- Squall Leonhart: Interesting?
- Laguna Loire: All of them are, don't you think so? These guys carry weapons right out of a fairy tale, not to mention the magic they can use. They've got armor like I've never seen and one of them even has a tail. Oh yeah, the tail guy? He sure wasn't happy when I yanked on it. That thing is real!
- [Lightning, Tifa, Vaan, Laguna and Yuna have reached the Door to the Rift where they are confronted by Garland, Ultimecia, Kefka, Mateus and the Cloud of Darkness]
- Garland: At last you've reached the end of the line.
- Lightning: Step aside.
- Kefka Palazzo: [laughs] "Step aside" she says. Do we look like sidesteppers? Your little game ends here, kids!
- Vaan: What are you, crazy? All we have to do is get through you.
- Ultimecia: Through us and the new manikins preparing to emerge at this very moment. You believe you can defeat us all?
- Tifa Lockhart: We'll do fine. Just stay out of my business.
- The Emperor: Ah, the vitality of youth. Let us see how long it takes to bring that to heel.
- Yuna: This time, there's no getting away.
- Cloud of Darkness: You came.
- Laguna Loire: Yeah. Can't stay, though. Got plans up ahead.
- Garland: There is nothing ahead that will change your situation. The only thing awaits you is your inevitable doom!
- Lightning: So what's your point? You can spout threats all day, we're not turning back now!
