Macaque/Quotes

“*Your staff kind of gives you away, dude. Not just anyone can wield that thing.*”
―Macaque to MK
“*Macaque. Actually, the "Six-Eared Macaque" is, you know, my full name. Well, see you around, MK.*”
―Macaque to MK
“*Uh, don't you already have a Master? I thought Monkey King was training you.*”
―Macaque to MK
“*But you can never have too many teachers, right? I'm sure Monkey King would agree. It's not like he would want to hold you back.*”
―Macaque to MK
“*All right then.*”
―Macaque

**Macaque**: “*Not bad. Don't get me wrong, but I was kind of expecting a little more from someone with your power.*”

**MK**: “*Hey, hey, I've got more. I can give way more than that. I can do better.*”

**Macaque**: “*Okay. Maybe show me next time.*”

—MK and Macaque

“*Stop holding back. Stop trying to be nice. Your first strike should be your last strike. Every time you attack, give it everything you got. Other people are gonna be telling you to be patient. They are slowing you down. You have power inside you. Use it. Take the power and destroy! Remember, you don't use a weapon, you are a weapon!*”
―Macaque to MK
“*You're ready.*”
―Macaque to MK
“*I found out where it lives.*”
―Macaque
“*The Smoke Monster is actually an ancient demon. A very, very powerful one. We need to destroy it once and for all. Come on.*”
―Macaque
“*Totally. But since then, you've had me teaching you. You're stronger now. Don't you feel stronger?*”
―Macaque to MK
“*Remember. You're the weapon. Give it everything you've got.*”
―Macaque to MK
“*You know, you really are a good kid. Super nice...*”
―Macaque to MK
“*Thank you for giving me all of Monkey King's power. Oh-ho no! Can't you hold the magic staff anymore? Well, you know what that means. There really isn't anything special about you. You're just some kid with a heavy stick.*”
―Macaque to a de-powered MK
“*Monkey King. It's good to see you,* bud*!*”
―Macaque to Monkey King
“*You are such a gem, it's gonna be so satisfying killing you with your own powers.*”
―Macaque
“*Seriously? You fell for that? Sorry, kid. Nothing personal!*”
―Macaque
“*Come on! Show me the real Sun Wukong! The old you would have leveled this whole mountain range to stop me. But you're scared of hurting some kid? Pathetic!*”
―Macaque to Monkey King
## Season 2

### Shadow Play

“*Welcome viewers, to a shadow play likes the which have never been seen. It follows the tragic tale of a legendary warrior and how those who bring light into this world inevitably bring darkness to those who they hold dear.*”
―Macaque
“*Like light, heroes bring warmth, hope, and friendship. But they also bring life to the darkness.*”
―Macaque
“*The hero and the warrior were like the Sun and the Moon. Their light, a protective glow, shining upon the world. Together, there was nothing that could stop the two of them. Either in the Celestial Realms or on Earth. As time went on, the hero attained power beyond comprehension. As the hero's light grew, so too did his shadow. And soon, the warrior was cast in that shadow. In the darkness, the warrior was forgotten by the hero.*”
―Macaque
“*Ah, you again. You must be my biggest fan. You are aware the play is over, right?*”
―Macaque to MK
“*What would you like to hear? The Hero suddenly remembered his beloved friend, the Warrior? That they lived happily ever after?*”
―Macaque to MK
“*I take that as a complement, young man. The tell-tale sign of a good story. That you resonate with it so personally. But I think maybe you missed the point—*”
―Macaque to MK
“*The one and only! So why so glum? I've noticed that lately you've been lookin' a little down!*”
―Macaque to MK
“*Unloaded all your secret insecurities on me! I know! But hey, no shame in that, man. Sometimes you just gotta talk it out, y'know? I don't really do it. Maybe I should. But we'd be here all day so...*”
―Macaque to MK
“*Slow down, kiddo. This is the thanks I get for checking in on my favorite student?*”
―Macaque to MK
“*Well, with ol' Monkey King not around, I thought someone should teach you a lesson. Ah, MK, you really are dense aren't you? You saw a story about a hero who got handed everything, who didn't have to work for anything and you thought you were the other guy? The second the Hero got real power, he couldn't care less about his friends. That's you, bud.*”
―Macaque to MK
“*Hmm, I beg to differ, kiddo.*”
―Macaque to MK
“*Oh, did you just realize they were missing? Classic hero maneuver. Maybe it's just me but these guys don't look too happy about being left in the shadow of the great Monkie Kid.*”
―Macaque to MK
“*Also, side-note: How did you not know it was me? Shadows, kinda my gimmick isn't it? Hey don't look at me! Focus! Ooh this bit might hurt!*”
―Macaque to MK
“*You're right. That is enough. You know, you really are that bit too much like him. But good to see there's some potential.*”
―Macaque to MK
“*Hm, why'd I break the lamp? Well I was gonna do that whole 'watch the hero be tormented by his own mistakes' thing but it seems like your kinda already doing that to yourself, which honestly has been an absolute pleasure to watch. Y'know, I meant what I said. You really are a good kid. A good kid with a really terrible teacher.*”
―Macaque to MK
“*Ooh ouch!*”
―Macaque
“*Maybe you're not as dense as you look. Something's coming. Something you're not even close to ready for. Don't worry. You can never have too many teachers, right?*”
―Macaque to MK
“*Thanks, last show actually, I was just heading off—*”
―Macaque to the Mayor
## Season 3

### On the Run

“*Oh, Wukong!*”
―Macaque
“*Heh, always the comedian. Hey kiddo, ya miss me?*”
―Macaque
“*Hoo hoo, looking a little banged up there, Monkey King. The kid too. Looks like our old friend, the Lady Bone Demon, really did a number on you guys.*”
―Macaque to MK and Monkey King
“*Heh, you know me. There's a new player in town, I'm just feelin' out which one is the winning side.*”
―Macaque to Monkey King
“*Not smart, bud.*”
―Macaque to MK
“*The two of you are such a mess. I can't imagine why the Bone Demon wants me to bring you back. Look at you, you're all used up.*”
―Macaque to MK and Monkey King
“*Interesting.*”
―Macaque
“*Ah, you must be the Dragon Girl I've heard so little about. Little girl, you can shoot me all you want. It won't do you any good.*”
―Macaque to Mei
“*Uh, what?*”
―Macaque to MK
“*Whoa, didn't see that one coming.*”
―Macaque
### The Winning Side

“*The staff. The city. You've been busy.*”
―Macaque to Lady Bone Demon
“*Listen, Lady Bone Demon.*”
―Macaque to Lady Bone Demon
“*So. You want something.*”
―Macaque to Lady Bone Demon
“*And this is...*”
―Macaque
“*Convenient. Alrighty, then. Seems like they've got a bit of headway, so—*”
―Macaque
“*What is this?!*”
―Macaque
“*Looks like it's just you and me now.*”
―Macaque to MK
“*Did you really think you were going to get away from me, bud?*”
―Macaque to MK
“*Aw, forget you lost your powers? Careful. You might hurt yourself!*”
―Macaque to MK

**MK**: “*What do you—*”

**Macaque**: “*Want? What are you doing? Come on, kiddo. Do I have to explain everything? I'm handing you over to the Lady Bone Demon.*”

—MK and Macaque

“*Come on, fight back. Maybe I'm not giving you the right motivation. Should I bring your big, blue friend in here and smack him around? How about the girl?*”
―Macaque
“*Gold Vision? Really? Enough with these baby powers.*”
―Macaque
“*That's more like it.*”
―Macaque
“*Yeah. See, I've had a taste of dying, and you know what? Not a big fan. So, I'm choosing to be on the winning side.*”
―Macaque to MK
“*You can't even stop me. No, first I deliver you, then I'll come back for your has-been master and finally, I'll have repaid my debt and be free of this nightmare. Anyway, I assume you won't be coming quietly, so—*”
―Macaque to MK
“*Okay. Girl's more powerful than I thought. Interesting.*”
―Macaque
“*The Lady asked me to bring MK. But she didn't say anything about you two.*”
―Macaque
“*Huh?*”
―Macaque
“*Oh, you can't, can you?*”
―Macaque to Sandy
“*Ho ho ho, what a hero. Two friends about to be crushed, and you do nothing?*”
―Macaque to MK

**MK**: “*Let them go. You can take me, I don't care. Just let them go.*”

**Macaque**: “*Or what? You aren't the Monkie Kid anymore. Your powers are gone. Your staff's gone! You're nothing!*”

—MK and Macaque

“*What was that now? I couldn't quite hear you!*”
―Macaque to MK
“*Get off!*”
―Macaque
“*He still has power. Good. Everything just got a lot more interesting.*”
―Macaque
### Benched

“*The Samadhi Fire, huh? So that's how you're going to beat the Lady Bone Demon.*”
―Macaque
“*We'll see about that.*”
―Macaque
“*You have more guts than I thought. It's Tang, right? You know, it's funny. I thought, "you're smart". I mean, look at the guy. He's got glasses. If anyone knows where the legendary Samadhi Fire is, it's the guy sitting in the wings while his friends are busy having fun without him.*”
―Macaque to Tang
“*Well, humanity's just gonna have to find something else. The Samadhi Fire is my best chance of getting as far away from her as possible.*”
―Macaque
“*Together? Remind me again exactly what it is you tribute to the team? They seem to get on just fine without you. Don't take it personally, Tang. Your buddy Wukong values people by how useful they are to him. Take it from me, as an expert on what happens when you get too close to the King. Look out for number one, because if you don't, no one will.*”
―Macaque to Tang
“*No! They have a weapon! They have the Samadhi Fire!*”
―Macaque
### The King, the Prince, and the Shadow

“*I couldn't care less about what the Lady Bone Demon wants!*”
―Macaque
“*So, the real rings are with MK. Perfect.*”
―Macaque

**Monkey King**: “*Stop! If you hurt that kid I'll—*”

**Macaque**: “*What? Make things worse for MK?*”

—Macaque and Monkey King

“*Don't get in my way, kid. I don't have time for you. I'm just here for the Samadhi Fire. Then I'm done with you all.*”
―Macaque
“*So this was the Monkey King's great plan? How do you still not see that he has no idea what he's doing?! How about this for a plan? Stay down, MK. Or I will put you down.*”
―Macaque
“*Not another move! I'll give you two options. Option A: I take the Samadhi Fire, you do exactly what I say, and I don't have to do anything you'll regret. Or Option B, I cut you all down. Starting with the girl!*”
―Macaque
“*Tang. Do what I'm telling you to do! Your friend's life depends on it. Finish the ritual!*”
―Macaque to Tang
### The Samadhi Fire

“*Do it. Finish the ritual!*”
―Macaque
“*Yes!*”
―Macaque
“*It worked!*”
―Macaque
“*I didn't do this!*”
―Macaque
“*She's completely out of control! If there's a time to go, it's now!*”
―Macaque
## Embrace Your Destiny

### The Corrupted King

“*I hope I'm not interrupting. But if you're making a plan to defeat the Lady Bone Demon, I know a guy who might be able to help.*”
―Macaque to the Monkie Kids and Red Son
### Time to Be Warriors

“*She didn't look so hot last time I saw her.*”
―Macaque
“*Come on, kid. You must have seen it. She might be stronger than ever, but she's spread too thin. The mech, the crystal, and now Monkey King? I bet you anything that keeping him suppressed is using every ounce of strength she's got.*”
―Macaque to MK
“*Look, I brought you the Lady Bone Demon's lapdog, but I'm not up for being a hero, kid.*”
―Macaque to MK
“*Nice speech, kid. But it's not gonna—*”
―Macaque to MK
“*I'm not a hero, bud.*”
―Macaque to MK
“*Okay, kid. You win.*”
―Macaque to MK
“*What can I say? I'm dramatic.*”
―Macaque

**MK**: “*What? But the staff's gone.*”

**Macaque**: “*No. It's not. Bone Demon's keeping it at the top of the tower. But I don't see how an old stick is going to be of any help.*”

—Macaque to MK

“*Come on, kid. Let's go.*”
―Macaque to MK

**Lady Bone Demon**: “*MK the Monkie Kid and the Six-Eared Macaque. Here to embrace oblivion?*”

**Macaque**: “*The opposite, actually. I'm kind of on this whole living streak now, so we were hoping maybe you could call off this whole end of the world thing? Would really help us out.*”

—Lady Bone Demon and Macaque

“*Yeah. I thought as much. MK. Now!*”
―Macaque
### Destiny Fulfilled

“*Alright, MK. I hope that staff is worth it!*”
―Macaque to MK
“*Uh, guys? Now that Wukong's not under her control.*”
―Macaque to MK and Monkey King
“*You were done with that, right?*”
―Macaque to MK
“*Still the same Wukong, doing whatever he wants with no regard for others.*”
―Macaque

**Monkey King**: “*Hey! Where do you think you're going?*”

**Macaque**: “*Don't know. Somewhere where I can do a bit of scheming, probably. See you around, MK.*”

—Macaque and Monkey King

## Season 4

### New Adventures

**Macaque**: “*You're really going through with this?*”

**Monkey King**: “*Correction. We're really going through with this. Like always! Monkey bros getting into some cheeky mischief.*”

**Macaque**: “*Look, Wukong, I get you're excited, I do. But crossing the Jade Emperor is gonna have consequences and... you're not listening.*”

—Macaque and Monkey King

“*Whatever you say, Wukong.*”
―Macaque
### Court of the Yellow Robed Demon

“*I just think we should consider all our options before we—*”
―Macaque to Peng
### Roast of the Monkie Kids

“*Or he was doing his usual Wukong thing and being a lazy, peach-eating idiot, ignoring all the world's problems.*”
―Macaque to MK
“*You know, it's no fun when you say it out loud. Nice tail, by the way. That's new. Come on, Misery Kid. I got something to show you.*”
―Macaque to MK
### The Jade Emperor

“*Yo, how's it going? It's me, Macaque, or rather the Six-Eared Macaque is, you know, my full name.*”
―Macaque (Video Game)
“*On your journey, you'll see that it's the choices you make that determine who you are.*”
―Macaque (Video Game)
“*I know your latest discovery has thrown you for a loop. Between that and Azure and the Lady Bone Demon trying to get inside your head... You know what? Just play the game. That'll teach you everything you need to know, for once. Besides, I put a lot of work into this.*”
―Macaque to MK
“*Oh, no. Some disgusting horrible demon is attempting to steal this poor maiden. Whatcha gonna do about it?*”
―Macaque (Video Game)
“*Hey, you're finally getting it. No matter what option it's giving you, you're always gonna end up in the same spot.*”
―Macaque to MK
“*Alright, Misery Kid. You were supposed to realize by now that the choices the game's giving you aren't the only choices you've got. Life isn't some pre-written thing like a video game where you have to do what the tutorial says.*”
―Macaque to MK
“*Whatever. Point is, it's time to start making your own choices. Something I wish I'd learned a lot sooner than I did. You don't wanna fight Azure 'cause people might get hurt. You don't wanna not fight him 'cause people might get hurt. So do something else. Only you get to decide who you are, kiddo.*”
―Macaque to MK
## The Emperor's Wrath

### A Lifetime of Mistakes

“*Ugh, can't believe I'm sticking my neck out for Wukong. Again.*”
―Macaque
“*Yeah, if he's lost in broken memories from his past, then who better to tag along than someone who was there for some of it? And besides, your knowledge of the* Journey to the West *seems pretty selective.*”
―Macaque
“*Wukong, what have you done?*”
―Macaque

**Macaque**: “*It looks like he's been tearing his way through his past. Trying to find his way to...*”

**MK**: “*Me.*”

—Macaque and MK

“*We need to find him. Fast!*”
―Macaque
“*That ain't him. That's just a memory, and a pretty broken one too. I really wish they used magic tape. I'll know the real Wukong when we find him. I can smell him a mile away.*”
―Macaque
“*Alright. Let's get moving.*”
―Macaque
“*Kid, come on, we got—*”
―Macaque
“*Alright then. You ready to become King of the Monkeys?*”
―Macaque
“'*Cause when Monkey King jumped through the waterfall, he became... You really should read the book, kid. Here we go.*”
―Macaque
“*How many of these little guys are in here?*”
―Macaque
“*Just another memory, bud.*”
―Macaque
“*This is like Chapter 1, kid. Again, really gotta read the book.*”
―Macaque
“*Welcome back, your* majesty*.*”
―Past Macaque to Past Monkey King
“*What, so you can be the strongest?*”
―Past Macaque
“*Quit it! Eat your dang peach.*”
―Past Macaque
“*Wukong didn't think so. He always felt he had to be stronger. More immortal. He was so terrified of mortality, he went so far as to take his name out of the Book of the Dead. But even that wasn't enough.*”
―Macaque
“*Yo. Hey, bud. I got you a little something.*”
―Past Macaque
“*Okay, you don't have to be so you about it.*”
―Past Macaque
“*You know I'd help if I could.*”
―Past Macaque
“*Yeah, okay.*”
―Past Macaque
“*No, that's you! You're the one who's always running off! Looking for more power, more sources of immortality!* You're *the one who wouldn't quit while we were ahead! Not the Great Sage, he's gotta drag everyone else into his mess!*”
―Past Macaque
“*You did it for yourself. You become like this... obsessive demon! I told you going against the Jade Emperor was a bad idea, but no, Wukong doesn't listen to anyone. He just does whatever he wants! You put yourself here, not me.*”
―Past Macaque
“*That's what I believed. What Azure would have you believe. Then, he met him. The monk. Wukong was on a path of self-destruction. We all were. But when he met the monk, it sent him down a different path.*”
―Macaque
“*Every choice has consequences, kid. For someone.*”
―Macaque

**Macaque**: “*This is Azure's utopia and this wasteland is the price he paid to build it. He stole the energy he needed from everything around it.*”

**MK**: “*I thought he wanted to help people. He said he wanted to be the hero.*”

**Macaque**: “*I'm sure he does. Everyone thinks they're the hero of their own story. Azure's always been good at convincing people he's the good guy. He's even fooled himself.*”

—Macaque and MK

“*It's him.*”
―Macaque
### The Plan Man

“*I've got it!*”
―Past Macaque
“*Azure won't admit it but he has a thirst for revenge. Truth is, he's gonna be on Wukong like a bad smell. Like Wukong doesn't stink bad enough already.*”
―Macaque
“*This guy.*”
―Macaque
“*They're coming. Get down!*”
―Macaque
### Rip and Tear

“*You know what, Peng? Straight up, I have never liked you.*”
―Macaque
### Better Than We Found It

“*Mei! Let them go. After all, you always were the most cowardly of the bunch.*”
―Macaque
“*Alright. We should regroup with the others.*”
―Macaque
“*Cute. Thanks for the invite, by the way.*”
―Macaque
“*You know this is the calm before the storm, right?*”
―Macaque
