Then tell me, Maria,
Why I see her dancing there,
Why her smold'ring eyes still scorch my soul?
I feel her, I see her,
The sun caught in her raven hair,
Is blazing in me out of all control!

Vaati: They're putting on quite a show for this ridiculous marriage.
Ghirahim: I only hope that Master Ganondorf has the good sense to murder his... ugh... "wife" soon after the ceremony.
Vaati: Murder her? Why?
Ghirahim: So he doesn't have to share the kingdom with her... obviously!
Vaati: Let's not be so hasty here! Zelda is a direct descendant of the goddess Hylia! It would be a shame to spill such rare and exotic blood!
Ghirahim: ...You've got to be kidding me.
Vaati: ...And she's such a beauty too! Perhaps Ganondorf could give her to me as a pet after he takes over... I could keep her a secret! Everyone would just think she's dead!
Ghirahim: No one cares about your stupid, superficial crush, Vaati! Zelda has to die!
Vaati: Hold my drink! I'm gonna go talk to her!
Ghirahim: Oh. My. God. Seriously?
King Dragon: God, I hate that hero!
Unnamed Villain: Yeah, me too, I bet his... dick is too big!
King Dragon: What was that?
Unnamed Villain: I bet he's, like, really... good at sex!
