The Nome King: Don't you know that eggs are poison?

Billina: Poison, indeed!

The Nome King: Poison... poison to... nomes.

Ozma: Why did they bring you here, Dorothy?

Dorothy: Because I can't sleep, and I talk about a place that I've been to, but nobody believes that it exists.

Mombi III: Not beautiful you understand, but you have a certain prettiness, different from my other heads. I believe I'll lock you in the tower for a few years until your head is ready. And then I'll take it.

Dorothy: I believe you will NOT!
