Ergo
- Ergo: My name is no jest, beanpole. It's all very well to have a short name when you're twenty feet tall, but small people need large names to give them weight.
- Rell the Cyclops: Your actions give you weight, my friend.
- Ergo: Wait! Wait for me. I've just remembered, I have urgent business in this direction.
- Prince Colwyn: What business?
- Ergo: Staying alive.
- Ergo: If I had my wish I'd be out of this gloomy place right away. If I really had my wish I'd be sitting on top of a gooseberry pie as big as a mountain. No, that's a bit greedy. I'll settle for one as big as a house.
- Titch: I'd wish for a puppy.
- Ergo: Only one puppy? If you're wishing why not wish for a hundred?
- Titch: Only want one.
- Ergo: Well that's a foolish wish. And you Rell, what would you wish for?
- Rell the Cyclops: Ignorance.
- Prince Colwyn: The forest is not safe. You best travel with us.
- Ergo: Me travel with you? Do you know who I am?
- Prince Colwyn: No.
- Ergo: I am Ergo the magnificent. Short in stature, tall in power, narrow of purpose and wide of vision. And I do not travel with peasants and beggars. Goodbye!
- Ergo: Rell, I'll ride with you.
- Rell the Cyclops: I have to stay here, my friend.
- [they shake hands]
- Ergo: We had no time.
- Ergo: There was a difference of opinion concerning a gooseberry pie. The man left it sitting on his windowsill. What did he expect?
- Prince Colwyn: Perhaps he expected to eat it.
- [Colwyn and Ergo meet Torquil and his gang for the first time]
- Ergo: Robbers.
- Prince Colwyn: They're men. We don't know yet whether they're robbers.
- Ergo: Faces that ugly could only belong to robbers. Don't worry, I'll turn them all into pigs.
- Ergo: You are his queen?
- Princess Lyssa: Yes.
- Ergo: Then we've won.
- Princess Lyssa: Yes.
- Ergo: Oh boy, I should have stuck to puppies.
