- Blackfire: Life's not fair, is it? You see, I... Well, I shall never be queen. Huh. And you... shall never see the light of another day. Hmm, hmm. Adieu.
- Matilda: Didn't your father ever tell you not to play with your food?
- Blackfire: What do you want?
- Matilda: I'm here to announce that Queen Starfire's on her way. So you'd better have a good excuse for missing the ceremony this morning.
- Blackfire: Oh, now look, Matilda. You've made me lose my lunch.
- Matilda: Ha! You'll lose more than that when the queen gets through with you. She's as mad as a hippo with a hernia.
- Blackfire: Oooh, I quiver with fear!
- Matilda: Now, Blackfire, don't look at me that way. Help!
- Starfire: Blackfire?
- Blackfire: Mm-hmm?
- Starfire: Drop her.
- Matilda: Impeccable timing, your majesty.
- Blackfire: Why, if it isn't my big sister descending on from high to mingle with the commoners.
- Starfire: Robin and I didn't see you at the presentation of Shanti.
- Blackfire: That was today? Oh, I feel simply awful! Must've slipped my mind.
- Matilda: Well, as slippery as your mind is, as the Queen’s sister, you should have been first in line!
- Blackfire: Well, I was first in line, until the little brat was born!
- Starfire: That “brat” is my daughter, and your future queen.
- Blackfire: Oh, I shall practice my curtsy.
- Starfire: Don't turn your back on me, Blackfire.
- Blackfire: Oh, no, Starfire. Perhaps you, shouldn't turn your back on me.
- Starfire: Is that a challenge?!
- Blackfire: Temper, temper. I wouldn't dream of challenging you.
- Matilda: Pity. Why not?
- Blackfire: Well, as far as brains go, I got the Princess' share, but when it comes to brute strength… I'm afraid I'm at the shallow end of the gene pool.
- Matilda: There's one in every family, sire. Two in mine, actually. And they always manage to ruin special occasions.
- Starfire: What am I going to do with her?
- Matilda: She'd make a very handsome throw rug.
- Starfire: Matilda!
- Matilda: And just think, whenever it gets dirty, you could take her out and beat her.
