Quotes
"I guess someone hasn't had their coffee this morning."
 * —Davis, on Cody's silence during their discussion about 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 evil things, but you're not a bad person." Ken: "I'm not?" Davis: "No. The person who designed the school's lunch menu, now that's an evil person! That was a joke, Ken." Ken: "Sorry, I haven't been in a laughing mood lately."
 * —Davis attempts to bond with 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 by bygones.  I hope he forgives himself."
 * —The more experienced T.K. considers giving Ken another chance.

"Sorry, but I've already had my bath today."
 * —Raidramon does not want to get caught in the flash flood.

Davis: "He's climbing up the dam again! Doesn't he know when to stop?" Yolei: "I don't think so." Kari: "Well, he has a rock for a brain. He can't be that bright."
 * —The DigiDestined discuss their situation with Golemon.

"Being a hero isn't always pretty""
 * —Davis, understanding that some battles cannot be avoided.

Palmon: "About 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 one!" Mimi: "What are you talking about?" Palmon: "I was walking through the woods when I saw 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, and I couldn't 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 it wasn't a real Digimon!" Cody: "That's why Golemon attacked the damn! He's a Control Spire under a dark spell!"
 * —Palmon's information about the control spire made the DigiDestineds (sans Davis) realize that they were wrong about Ken destroying Thundermon.

''[I was wrong. Ken has changed. I always assumed that he was just as ruthless as before, but now he's trying to save the Digital World.] "I'm sorry, Ken, I was wrong."''
 * —Yolei's apology allows Hawkmon to digivolve to his Champion form.
