Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy
2001 (VG)
Sculptor: Hey! Little furry dude! Oh, I thought you were my muse! Daxter: Your what? Sculptor: You haven't seen a muse before? It's this tall and crazy like a lark!
Daxter: Hey baby! Why don't you and I go cruisin' on this A Grav Zoomer? Keira: Rule number one, I don't date animals... Daxter: Ah, you don't know what you missin'!
Red Sage: Heh heh heh heh... ! You've finally come to rescue me! Do you know how long I've been in here? Heh heh heh... ! What are your names? Daxter: I'm Daxter. He's Jak. He's with me.
Blue Sage: Great balls of precursor metal! That insidious contraption must not be allowed to wreak its terrible havoc! I will create a vortex between myself and the vast portal below! Daxter: Yeah... you do that. We'll? go get help. (aside) Weirdo!
Maia: We have been given a beauty beyond anything you could understand. Daxter: Beauty? Have you two looked in a mirror lately? Maia: Just wait until we open the silos, little one. You think short and fuzzy is bad... Gol: And to think, you two traveled all the way here for *my* help! Fools! Enjoy your front-row seats to the re-creation of the world!
Yellow Sage: Who woulda thought I'd live to see the day I had to be rescued by a boy and his muskrat? I'm gonna give Gol and Maia a little payback for these embarrassments! Then we'll see about cookin' up some muskrat stew. (Daxter gulps)
Warrior: Oh, my aching head. Daxter: I doubt that's one of your vital organs! Walk it off, Tough Guy! Warrior: Oh, sure, I was tough once. Maybe even the toughest of them all! I single-handedly defended this village against those horrid creatures for almost a year. Then that horrible monster arrived and commenced the boulder bombardment. So... full of valor... armor shining in the sun... I climbed the hill to take him on. But he pounded me like one tenderizes a Yakow steak. Daxter: Have you tried attacking him with your melodrama? Cos it's killing me.
Samos Hagai the Green Sage: It's about time you two decided to show up! Daxter: Nice to see you, too! Do they have you mopping the floors now?
(first lines) Samos Hagai the Green Sage: I have spent my life searching for the answers that my father and my father's fathers failed to find. Who were the Precursors? Why did they create the vast monoliths that liter our planet? How did they harness Eco, the life energy of the world? What was their purpose? And why did they vanish? I have asked the plants, but they do not remember. The plants have asked the rocks, but the rocks do not recall. Even the rocks do not recall. Every bone in my body tells me that the answers rest on the shoulders... of a young boy... oblivious to his destiny, uninterested in the search for truth, and rejecting of my guidance! And why would he want to listen to old Samos the sage, anyway? I'm only the master of Green Eco, one of the wisest men on the planet! So it seems the answers begin not with careful research or sensible thinking. Nay! As with many of fate's mysteries,it begins with but a small act... of disobedience.
Daxter: The sage yaps on about the Precursors who built this place all the time. (imitates Samos) 'Where did they go? Why did they build this crap?'
Daxter: Look, old man! Are you gonna keep yappin', or are you gonna help me outta this mess? Samos Hagai the Green Sage: I'm gonna keep yappin!
Mayor: Oh, don't tell me you two have problems as well! First, I hear of monstrous sightings near the village, now this. See those gears, boys? See them? See how they're not moving? That means our village has no power! The Eco beam coming from the jungle temple has been interrupted. Daxter: Did you pay the bill?
Birdwatcher: Oh my, what a horribly sick little bird! Daxter: Huh! You don't look so good yourself, lady! Birdwatcher: Oh, sorry! I thought you were a Spotted Orange-Bellied Rain Fray.
Samos Hagai the Green Sage: Hey! It looks like the Blue Sage threw a party! Keira: Oh my! Rock Village is on fire! Samos Hagai the Green Sage: One HECK of a party!
Willard: Ooh! Ooh! I got it this time! Here's a... ! Here's a... ! Gordy: A Power Cell! Willard: Yeah... yeah... what he said.
(last lines) Daxter: Wooooow! What IS it? Keira: It's beautiful... ! Samos Hagai the Green Sage: By the Precursors... !
Boggy Billy: I own these here parts. Everything that doesn't sink into the mud that is! Daxter: Judging by the smell, I'd wager your bathtub sank into the mud long ago! Boggy Billy: What's a bathtub?
