Quotes:

Crysta: [about to change Zak back to his normal size] What was done, now undo. Return you to the form that's true. Good-bye, Zak.

[Zak is trying to convince Batty to turn back]::Batty Koda: What're you, crazy, that's lemming talk!::Zak: [hits Batty's antenna] Wrong channel!::Batty Koda: [in English accent] Hail, Caesar! Emperor of Rome!::Zak: [Batty floats offscreen] Wrong channel!::Batty Koda: [back onscreen; imitates John Wayne] Well all right, Gunny! We're goin' to war!

Crysta: Are you okay?::Zak: [screams to his horror] WHAT HAPPENED TO ME! I-I-I'M THREE INCHES TALL!::Crysta: Oh... I shrank you.::Zak: You what?::Crysta: Well, it was the most amazing thing. 'Course, it's not what the spell was really supposed to do, but Magi Lune will fix you.::Zak: You... you shrank me?::Crysta: Yeah!::Batty Koda: Catches on quick, doesn't he?

Elder: Now, Crysta, aren't you a little old to believe in human tales?::Batty Koda: Human tails? Humans don't have tails. They have big, big bottoms that they wear with bad shorts. They walk around going, "Hi, Helen".

Zak: Buzz off? I'm not buzzing anywhere. Now unshrink me, and I mean now.::Crysta: Well, I guess I could take a bash at it.::Zak: "Take a bash"?::Crysta: Actually, I'm just sort of learning.::Zak: Great, I've been shrunk by an amateur. I don't believe this. Okay, okay, come on! Bash away!

Batty Koda: [crashes into a tree] I'M BLIND, ON, NO! [opens his eyes] I can see! It's a miracle! Another perfect landing! No worries! I'm okay! Thank you for caring. Just a few bruises. [sees that no one is listening] Nobody cares about me.::Zak: I do you, bat-man.::Batty Koda: You sure?::Zak: I'm positive.::Batty Koda: Only fools are positive.::Zak: Are you sure?::Batty Koda: I'm positive...::[as Zak laughs]::Batty Koda: I fell for it! I should have known!

Crysta: But how can you live without trees?::Zak: Easy.::Crysta: But trees give life. They make the clouds, the water, the air.::Zak: We have air.::Batty Koda: Yeah, if you don't mind getting all your minerals in one breath.

Zak: What are you supposed to be, some kind of fairy?::Crysta: Of course I am. What about you? Are you really a human?::Zak: Last time I checked.

Hexxus: [singing] I see the world and all the creatures in it, / I suck 'em dry and spit 'em out like spinach. / 'Cause greedy human beings will always lend a hand, / with the destruction of this worthless jungle land. / And what a wonderful machine they have provided, / To slice a path of doom with my sweet breath to guide it.

Magi Lune: There are worlds within worlds, Crysta. Everything in our world is connected by the delicate strands of the web of life, which is a balance between the forces of destruction and the magical forces of creation.
