SHEAHLA: I told you this was a bad plan!

YATTA: I haven’t lost my hat yet!

SHEAHLA: What the hell does that mean?!

YATTA: I - just thought it sounded clever, my love!

SHEAHLA: Less cleverness, more fighting! It’s a dumb hat, anyway ...

YATTA: As you wish! (dispatches two Urtts in two frames.)

SHEAHLA: Showoff … It’s a dumb hat, anyway.

TULA: Fiz?! Fiz! Goddess, Fiz, please ...
FIZ: Puh-princess ...Y-your face … is as beautiful as the sky …
