  Dead Juju : Wow! Could I, your highness? I've never partied with royals!

  Lok : Let's party on.

• Dead Juju : A juju shrine! We're saved! We made it!

  Lok : I thought we were goners. Volcanoes, vampire bats, those zombie ninjas of the Black Mist. We have been through it all. Better wait here, my man. I'll go contact the juju.

  Dead Juju : No, wait! But, I'm a juju! I can help us find Tak and Jibolba!

  Lok : Cool, cool. Well, why don't I contact somebody with some real juju power? We need something a little better than a piñata or a punch bowl, my party-going compadre.

  Dead Juju : Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're killing me, but you're right.

  Lok : [Comes to shrine]  Oh, great juju. We humbly summon your august majesty to this sacred place.

  Dead Juju : This is so exciting! Wow! Hello! We're going to get a fantastic juju! I'll be so honored to meet him!

  [Lok shushes him] 

  Lok : Don't interrupt the summoning. You might tick him off.

  Lok : Okay, okay! Anyway, the most impressive of the jujus. We... summon you now!

  [Sees Party Juju from shrine] 

  Lok : You?

  Dead Juju : Hey, it IS me! I am the best! I AM THE GREATEST! I'm so happy to meet me! Let's celebrate! Punch for everybody!

• Tlaloc : [as the Dream Juju]  Tak, the great and mighty warrior of the Pupununu people. He who is lucky enough to have fulfilled the prophecy and defeated the powerful shaman Tlaloc.

  Tak : What... Who are you? What is this place and can you turn that light down?

  Tlaloc : This is the Dream World. You've been here many times before in your dreams, but this time, you have been called here for a purpose. Several days travel from here is a beautiful princess who has been cruelly imprisoned within a dark and terrifying castle. She is held captive by one of the most vicious beasts of the Dream World. The Guardian who wields the world-destroying power of the Staff of Dreams. Sadly, the princess has no hope of rescue from anyone. Except for you, Tak. And if you should save her from her plight, happiness will be restored to her kingdom and the powers of darkness will be forever diminished. What say you, great and mighty warrior of the Pupanunu people? Will you bring your wits, your strength and your courage to bear on this sacred mission?

  Tak : Nah. Don't think so.

  Tlaloc : No-no-no! No, wait! Hello? You're not supposed to do that. Get back here! Maybe you don't understand, Tak. Let me run through it again. Ahem. Several days travel from here, is a beautiful princess who has been cruelly imprisoned within a dark and...

  Tak : [he interrupts the Dream Juju]  I heard you, but the princess thing? Come on. That's the oldest one in the book. People always say that kind of stuff in dreams, what's the point? I'm probably gonna wake up any minute.

  Tlaloc : No, Tak. If you do not accept this challenge, you will never wake up again.

  Tak : Oh, oh. Okay. Well, then. I'll do it.

  Tlaloc : Good. I promise you, in the fulfillment of this quest, you will learn something new about yourself, Tak.

  Tak : Hmmm. Something new about myself, huh? Okay, fine. Where's this princess?

  Tlaloc : Not so fast, Tak. You need training before you can complete this quest. The Dream World is new to you. It has many dangers.
