• (Prince Lir) "No. My lady, I am a hero. Heroes know that things must happen when it is time for them to happen. A quest may not simply be abandoned; unicorns may go unrescued for a long time, but not forever. A happy ending cannot come in the middle of the story."

• (Unicorn) "What he calls a Manticore looks to be no more than a shabby, toothless lion. And he has that whole crowd believing that poor old ape with the twisted foot is a Satyr. Illusions, deceptions, mirages. Your Mommy Fortuna cannot truly change things."
• (Alan Arkin) "That is true. She can only disguise, and only for those eager to believe whatever comes easiest. She cannot turn cream into butter, but she can make a lion look like a manticore to eyes that want to see a manticore. Just like she put a false horn on a real unicorn so they can see the unicorn. I know you. If I were blind, I would know what you are."
• (Unicorn) "Who are you?"
• (Alan Arkin) "I am called Schmendrick, the Magician. Uh -- you won't have heard of me."

• (Unicorn) "Do not boast, old woman. Your death sits in that cage, and she hears you."
• (Angela Lansbury) "Oh, she'll kill me one day or another. But she will remember forever that I caught her, and I held her prisoner. So there's my immortality, eh?"
