Game Script
Crying Over Onions - Port Windurst Kohlo-Lakolo: What are we gonna do? My head is all jumble-wumbled up. Ah, you there! You must do something to help the Star Onion Brigade! The rich old geezer living in Windurst Waters told us to give back the Mana Orb we got from Nanaa Mihgo! Yafa Yaa: He said that the Mana Orb belonged to him.
Gomada-Vulmada: He also said that if we don't give it back, he'll get the boss-woss from the Manustery onto us! We're getting framed as a gang of villain-willains!
Papo-Hopo: ...But our weal pwoblem is dat we don't got da Mana Orb no more. Do you wemember? Dat Mana Orb got all sucked up into Joker's body.
Pyo Nzon: That's rrright. Even if we wanted to, we couldn't give it back. But that old fuddy-duddy won't listen to a word we say!
Joker: ......
Kohlo-Lakolo: So now we're really deep in dhalmel doo-doo. The Star Onion Brigade will go from being heroes to zeroes! You're a famous adventurer, aren't you? Can't you think of anything to help us?
Crying Over Onions - Windurst Waters Honoi-Gomoi: Mana Orbs...!!! Honoi-Gomoi: Hmph!! What the hell do you know about Mana Orbs!?
Honoi-Gomoi: ...Unbelievable! After I specifically told those little brats at the port not to talk to anyone about this!
Honoi-Gomoi: ...What did you say!? You're friends with those meddlesome minors? Hmph! Aren't you embarrassed to tell people you hang around with kids at your age?
Honoi-Gomoi: Well, that's your business, I guess. If you're buddy-wuddies with those whippersnappers, I have only this to say to you: Give me back my Mana Orb!
Honoi-Gomoi: For the past few years, I've given star spinels to the thief from Windurst Woods, Nanaa Mihgo, and had her search the towers of Sarutabaruta...
Honoi-Gomoi: When I thought I finally had one within my grasp, that idiot Mithra dropped it somewhere! Do you know how much trouble I went through to find it was those S.O.B.'s who had picked it up!?
Honoi-Gomoi: I'm not letting this mattaru drop! You can deliver this message to them...
Honoi-Gomoi: GIVE ME BACK MY MANA O~RB!
Crying Over Onions - Windurst Waters Honoi-Gomoi: What the hell is this? Honoi-Gomoi: Are you trying to tell me to give up on my Mana Orb by giving me this?
Honoi-Gomoi: You've got Yagudo droppings for brains, stripling! This has nothing to do with money!
Honoi-Gomoi: And while I'm at it, you might as well know that I gave Nanaa Mihgo one star spinel every week as payment for searching for that Mana Orb!
Honoi-Gomoi: Take a look over here! Feast your eyes on all the wonderful goods that I possess! I'm rich beyond your wildest dreams!
Honoi-Gomoi: I've got so many star spinels, I'm throwing them away! Here, take one if it'll make you disappear and leave me be!
Honoi-Gomoi: Hm? What're you making that face for?
Honoi-Gomoi: I'll take this to the Manustery! It's a crime against Cardians to have a Mana Orb. You'll probably get thrown into prison and made to break rocks all day!
Crying Over Onions - Port Windurst Kohlo-Lakolo: What happened? You went to the old geezer's place? ...Hmmm. A complete waste of time, huh? All that guy can say is, "Give it back! Give it back!" Rightaru, we need to come up with a plan! Time for an emergency strategy meeting! The Star Onions huddle up together.
Kohlo-Lakolo: Um, order in the court! Let's think of what we can do about Honoi-Gomoi's Mana Orb! Does anyone have any ideas?
Gomada-Vulmada: Let's tell him it was gobble-wobbled up by a dhamel in Windurst Woods!
Pyo Nzon: That's no good. We should say it fell into the ocean!
Papo-Hopo; I don't think a grown-up is gonna fall for dat kind of thing. You all know it. Adults are too smart for simple excuses.
Yafa Yaa: I've got it! We can give him a fake Mana Orb!
Kohlo-Lakolo: A fake Mana Orb... But how would we make one?
Pichichi: ...It'th wrong. It'th wrong to tell lieth and trick people.
Kohlo-Lakolo: Pichichi!
Pichichi: The Thtar Onion Brigade isn't about lying or tricking people! It was formed to fight people like that.
Kohlo-Lakolo: ...... You're right! The Star Onion Brigade stands for justice! Let's go to Windurst Waters and tell Honoi-Gomoi the truth!
The rest of the Star Onions cheer.
Crying Over Onions - Windurst Waters Honoi-Gomoi: ...! Honoi-Gomoi: You used that Mana Orb on a Cardian!?
Kohlo-Lakolo: Er, I'm s-sorry.
Honoi-Gomoi: ...Unbelievable... All that incredible power... Wasted on a useless puppet... A puppet...
Honoi-Gomoi: That's it! Disassemble that Cardian right this instantaru!
Honoi-Gomoi: Then pull out the Mana Orb and bring it here to me! You got that!?
Kohlo-Lakolo: How can you say that!? Diss-a-sem-bull means to take something apart, doesn't it?
Kohlo-Lakolo: Joker will die if we do that!
Honoi-Gomoi: Here's a linkshell, tell somebody who cares! You've got no clue of the value of that Mana Orb, and I don't need to hear your meaningless sniveling.
Honoi-Gomoi: That Mana Orb is more than it appears to be. Its worth is incalculable!
Honoi-Gomoi: Go and start taking that automaton to pieces! You hear me!
Kohlo-Lakolo: I can't diss-a-sem-bull Joker, I just can't!Kohlo-Lakolo: What am I going to do...?
