"I guess someone hasn't had their coffee this morning."
 * —Davis on Cody's lack of response regarding Ken.

Ken: "So what brings you all the way out here? Did you come to remind me that I've been a bad boy?" Davis: "Come on, Ken, you've done some pretty rotten things, but you're not an evil person." Ken: "I'm not?" Davis: "No. The person that designed the school's lunch menu, now that's an evil person. Hahaha... That was a joke, Ken." Ken: "Sorry, I haven't been in a laughing mood lately."
 * —Davis attempts to win over Ken.

Patamon: "Hey, T.K., do you think Davis is right about Ken? Should we forgive him for what he's done?" T.K.: "I think everyone deserves a second chance, Patamon, even Ken. I believe that he's sorry for what he's done, and it's time we forgive him and let bygones be bygones. I hope he forgives himself."

Yolei: "How do we stop Golemon without hurting him?" Davis: "We have no choice but to resort to extreme measures." Yolei: "And exactly what do you mean by that, Davis?" Davis: "We have to destroy him!" Yolei: "Have you gone completely nuts? He's a Digimon! He's still a living creature, Davis. We'll have to think of another plan." Davis: "If You've got a better plan, I'd love to hear it." Yolei: "What if we keep trying to protect the dam?" Davis: "Now who sounds crazy? He swatted our Digimon like flies. We have to take out Golemon to protect the dam." Yolei: "At least let's try, Davis." Davis: "Look Yolei, the longer we fight him, the better the chance of him destroying that dam. There are millions of lives at stake. We have no choice!" Yolei: "There's got to be a better way!" Davis: "It's too late Yolei, we have to act now!"
 * —Yolei resists Davis' radical plan of action.

Palmon: "Golemon... He's not what you think. He's not even a real Digimon. I know I sound crazy, but you have to believe me on this." Mimi: "What are you talking about?" Palmon: "I was walking through the woods and I heard something, so I went to check it out. That's when I saw this strange woman. She was casting a spell on a Control Spire. There was all this bright light, I could barely see, and then the Control Spire became Golemon." T.K.: "Hey guys, I just thought of something: Thundermon must have been one of those Control Spires, too. I bet Ken probably figured that out during the last battle." Davis: "That must be why he ordered Stingmon to destroy him. He knew he wasn't a real Digimon." Cody: "That's why Golemon attacked the dam. He's a Control Spire under a dark spell."
 * —Palmon's information about the Control Spire makes the group realize they were wrong about Ken's actions.
