Dr. Benton C. Quest : But I'm not sure I understand. You do NOT want us to go to the island?
Native : Ah, no. Ah, no. No go. Bad... bad dragons. Oh, big... oh, big dragons.
Jonny Quest : Wow. Did you hear that, Hadji? Dragons!

Dr. Benton C. Quest : Dr. Ashida is a most respected scientist.
Roger T. 'Race' Bannon : He's well-known for his zoological work, isn't he, sir?
Dr. Benton C. Quest : Very well-known.

Dr. Benton C. Quest : So you have no idea why that native would be so afraid of you?
Dr. Ashida : None, unless he has run amok. They do, sometimes, you know.
Dr. Quest : He, uh, spoke of dragons.
Dr. Ashida : Ah, yes, my dragons.
Dr. Benton C. Quest : Yours?
Dr. Ashida : Mine.

Dr. Ashida : [presenting his largest dragons] This is my crowning glory. I have to keep them in pits. I don't have cages big enough.
Dr. Benton C. Quest : Incredible. It's as big as a crocodile.
Dr. Ashida : Uh, fourteen feet, seven inches from nose to tail, and all my own, Doctor. If any species can be said to owe its existence to an outside source, then the Ashida dragon owes its life to me.
-
Dr. Ashida : This is my survival pit, Doctor. Surely, you don't think my dragons grew to their present size by accident. As you know, in nature only the strong survive. I give nature a helping hand.
[Ashida laughs]
Dr. Benton C. Quest : You pit one beast against another?
Dr. Ashida : Exactly. In a fight to the death, the victor devours the vanquished.
-
Dr. Benton C. Quest : I don't happen to approve of this, Dr. Ashida. Let's go, Race, boys.
Dr. Ashida : Very well. If your western stomachs can not stand it, we shall postpone the duel.

Hadji : Look! The door! It is open, Dr. Quest.
Jonny Quest : Well, what're we waiting for? Let's go.
Dr. Benton C. Quest : Not so fast, Jonny. Whadda you think, Race? A trap?
Roger T. 'Race' Bannon : I sure do, Doctor. I think he wants us to leave so he can set his lizards on us.
Dr. Benton C. Quest : And you want to oblige him?
Roger T. 'Race' Bannon : We don't have a choice, Doctor.
