Quotes[]
- "Call me that again, Tinkerbell, and you'll never get this door open."[1]
- "Hey, you look familiar. You ever come by the voodoo bar? It's in the Seventh Circle, upstairs. I was the star attraction, you know, a lot more popular than those lousy floor shows this loser booked. People would tell me their orders and I'd shout them out to the bartenders. It went over great. Everyone thought I was this sophisticated audio-animatronics thingy. Sometimes I told jokes, too. Like, what would they call Bugsy Seigel if he became a vamp? A fangster!" The little thing cackled maniacally. "I crack myself up, you know that?" — "It is evil," the Pixie stated flatly. — Danny and The Pixie [1]
- "You may be able to hurt me, Tink, but it won't be in time to help your friends, here. For that, we hafta cut a deal.... Get those witches in there to reverse the bokor's mojo and put me back."[1]
