Quotes
Kari: "You think you beat him?" Davis: "Well, I don't have to flat out beat him. If I could just make it a close game against a guy like that, then I'd be a living legend, and everyone knows how much chicks dig living legends." Yolei: "Oh, Davis!" Davis: "Uh oh! It's happening already!"
 * —Dream on Davis.

Cody: "Yolei and Ken, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G." Yolei: "Hey, Cody, watch it! Besides, I didn't say I wanted to kiss him, duh! I just want to marry him."
 * —It wouldn't be much of a marriage without kissing.

Kari: "Good luck, Davis!" Yolei: "Don't forget to hug Ken!" Tai: "Give him a kiss, too!"
 * —While Kari and Yolei are being serious, Tai simply teases his protégé.

Tai: "I really hope Davis hasn't gotten in over his head." Davis: "[thinking] Tai probably thinks I've gotten in over my head, but I'll show him!"
 * —Does Davis know his mentor or what?

Yolei: "Ken's not coming, is he, Cody?" Cody: "Will you stop asking me if I say 'yes'?" Yolei: "No, I won't!" Poromon: "Lucky for me I have no spine!"
 * —Cody and Poromon suffer from Yolei ' s relentless pursuit of Ken.

"Even if Ken doesn't show, his teammates are still champions. If you're not careful, they'll use you as the soccer ball."
 * —Tai gives Davis some good advice.

Tai: "For all the attention he's getting, that guy sure knows how to keep his cool." Davis: "Hey, I'm cool!" Tai: "More like lukewarm!" Davis: "That's so funny I forgot to laugh."
 * —Even after Ken arrives, Tai continues to tease Davis.

"You can do it, and even if you can't, we won't think any less of you, man!"
 * —Tai being encouraging... or not.

"Houston, we have a problem."
 * —Davis quickly sees how good Ken is on the soccer field.

"Ken has more than just skill. He leads his team like a general leads an army."
 * —T.K. makes a very revealing observation, something he'll repeat later on about the Digimon Emperor.

Tai: "I think you're getting ahead of yourself. I think you should try something first. How about scoring at least one goal against him?" Davis: "Very funny, Tai. But I guess you have a point. I'll have to try that."
 * —Davis decides to take Tai ' s sarcasm for serious advice.

Cody: "It's a control spire." Kari: "What's it doing there?" Gatomon: "Controlling, spiring, the usual."
 * —The DigiDestined find a new control spire.

Kari: "Why do bad guys always name things like that?" T.K.: "It's in the job description. It's right after 'really stinky breath'."
 * —Kari and T.K. comment on the name of their destination, the Forbidden Valley of No Return.

"Even if this place was called the Valley of Duckies and Bunnies, with a control spire there, there's trouble."
 * —Cody makes an excellent point.

"I bet he heard that."
 * —Kari after Yolei and Hawkmon get sucked into the sand.

"What are you waiting for? Save me!" [Later] "Oh, sure then, make me look bad! Fine, then, don't save me!"
 * —Fake Yolei sounds a lot like Princess Mimi!

"Davis, if you've been holding back and planning a surprise attack, now would be a good time to yell 'surprise!'."
 * —Veemon after Davis offers himself up to the Digimon Emperor to save his friends.

"I'll stay and guard the hill."
 * —Wormmon after Davis tackles the Digimon Emperor down the cliffside.

Digimon Emperor: "I can't believe the same person made me look like a fool twice in the same day." Davis: "What do you mean 'twice'? Hey, how'd you get that cut on your leg? Wait, are you...? Could you possibly be...?" Digimon Emperor: "I could and I am! Ken Ichijouji!" Davis: "I'm dreaming! Ken is the Digimon Emperor?!"
 * —The Digimon Emperor ' s true identity is revealed to the DigiDestined.
