Jason Marsden: Tak

Quotes 

• Caged : [the Juju roars at Tak before clearing his throat]  Why, hello. So glad you could stop by. Lovely breeze here in the treetops today. Smells of yummy... fresh... meat.

  Tak : I don't smell any yummy, fresh meat.

  Caged : Yes, well, I can show you some if you hand me that key.

  Tak : What key?

  Caged : It opens the cage. I was only supposed to be in here for ten thousand years, but that was of EONS AGO!

  Tak : Well, okay. But, I don't care about any meat. I actually need to find a way through the-

  [the Juju touches Tak's loincloth] 

  Tak : Hey, knock it off! Hands off the loincloth!

  Caged : Insolent, yummy, fresh meat! I will fricassee you! I'll fry you alive!

  [the Juju throws fireballs at a tree that Tak is hiding behind; he disappears] 

  Tak : Where'd he go? What just happened? Whew. That was a close one. Hope I don't rune into him again.

  Flora : I guess he left once he realized you weren't going to free him. Wow! His spell was so powerful I think he changed all the coconut trees in the world to grow explosive coconuts.

• Tak : Juju, you have to help me! I need a snowboard.

  Caged : I might help you, but first, you must help. I'm bored in this cage. I want a pet.

  Tak : Sure. What kind?

  Caged : Nothing much. How about a nice fish?

  Tak : No problem.

  Caged : And a sheep.

  Tak : Okay.

  Caged : And an emu. And a rhinoceros.

  Tak : What? How am I supposed to...

  Caged : That would be glad if I didn't ask for a killer whale and a polar bear and a bee colony! Hmm... Maybe I should.

  Tak : Never mind. Never mind. That's enough already. I'll get them.

• Jibolba : Tak, what are you doing?

  [Tak fetches a sheep, but Jibolba expects the real thing] 

  Tak : You told me to go get Lok.

  Jibolba : That's right. Now go fetch Lok, stop playing with the sheep.

  Tak : I did get Lok!

  Jibolba : No, you fetched a dirty, stinky animal.

  Tak : That's Lok! See? He's wearing Lok's amulet. Tlaloc must have changed him into a sheep!

  Jibolba : What? No, no! This is all wrong. This isn't in the Pu-pu-pu-pu-pu...

  Tak : Pupanunu.

  Jibolba : Pupanunu People's prophecy. The mighty warrior doesn't become a sheep.

  Jibolba : [under his breath]  The mighty warrior doesn't lick my foot.

  [the Sheep Lok is licking Jibolba's foot, and Jibolba tells him to flee] 

  Jibolba : Stop the licking, Lok!

  Jibolba : [sadly]  Oh, how could this happen?

  Tak : Can't we just change him back?

  Jibolba : I don't know.

  Jibolba : [with enthusiasm]  Yes, I've got it! We can change Lok back into a mighty warrior! This great Juju spirit who watches us from another world can help!

  Jibolba : [to the viewer]  Follow Tak, protect him with your power. Go with Tak to the ancient burial ground of our ancestors and put the teeth into the statutes.

  Jibolba : [under breath]  And get me some magical Lubu plants while you're out!

  Jibolba : [shouting]  Now, go! Lok must stop Tlaloc before he destroys the Moon Goddess!
