Kingdom Hearts

 * "Nonsense. My devices are always perfect!" — talking to Jack Skellington.
 * "Maybe we're missing some ingredients. Let's try adding memory." — talking to Jack Skellington.
 * "Sally! Sally! Good-for-nothing girl! Don't know why I bothered creating her! Sally's got the memory we need. See if you can track her down." — calling for Sally.
 * "There you go. This time it's sure to work." — talking to himself about the heart.
 * "The nerve of those little hooligans, stealing my work!" — talking about Lock, Shock, and Barrel.
 * "You've got to get my heart back before Oogie Boogie ruins it!" — just before Sora and company defeat Oogie.
 * "Emotion, memory... We put in all the necessary ingredients. What else do you need to make a heart? What is a heart anyway? I can't figure it out." — before Sora and company leave Halloween Town.

Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories

 * "Yes! Maybe I'm TOO smart. I'm afraid I've created something horrible!" — being introduced by Jack Skellington.
 * "Well… Have you ever stopped to think about "true memories"?" — talking about true memories.
 * "Our hearts are full of memories—but not all of them reflect the truth. The heart isn't a recording device. Even important memories change with time. They warp or fade, leaving us with but a shadow of what we hoped to remember." — talking to Sora about memories.
 * "It happens to everyone. Some memories grow ugly, and some become more beautiful. If we could recover our true memories, the world would seem completely different. So, I devised a potion from forget-me-nots that brings our true memories back." — talking about true memories.
 * "No! My research is flawless! I just need another look at the potion to find out what went wrong! Unfortunately...it's vanished." — talking about his potion.
 * "It must've been Sally! Jack, you've got to find her and get my potion back." — talking about Sally.
 * "Confound that Oogie Boogie! He drank nearly all of my precious potion! There are only a few drops left!" — talking about Oogie and the potion.
 * "What, don't you want it? Too bad. It would've been a great experiment." — when Sora decided not to drink the potion.
 * "I just don't understand. When I inhaled the potion, Heartless appeared, and when Oogie drank it, he was overcome with fear. What could it mean?" — talking about his potion.
 * " No! I can't be wrong! Oogie MUST have found his true memories! Hm...True memories must unbalance the heart and cause unpredictable changes within!" — talking about memories.
 * "Perhaps something even more terrifying...But this is all just a hypothesis. I can't be sure without further research." — before leaving.

Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories

 * "You see my boy, our hearts are full of memories---but not all of them reflect the truth. The heart isn't a recording device. Even important memories change with time. They warp or fade, leaving us with but a shadow of what we hoped to remember." — talking to Sora about memories.
 * "It happens to everyone. Some memories grow ugly, and some become more beautiful. If we could recover our true memories, the world would seem completely different. So, I devised a potion from forget-me-nots that brings our true memories back." — explaining his potion to Sora.
 * "No! I can't be wrong! Oogie MUST have found his true memories! Hmm... True memories must unbalance the heart...and cause unpredictable changes within!" — talking about memories.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

 * "I see, I see! Interesting...Be sure to tell me about any more "ideas" you have, Jack." — talking to Jack Skellington
 * "Very good. Keeping a keen eye trained on your surroundings is critical for an inventor. Now, as you've been exploring, have you seen Oogie's three rugrats? I hear they're up to something on the outskirts of town. Any idea what it is this time?" — talking to Jack Skellington about Lock, Shock and Barrel.
 * "Well, you have my full support. Quite a novel idea you've come up with this time, Jack." — talking to Jack Skellington about his new idea.

Kingdom Hearts II

 * "Can't you see...that I'm in the middle of an experiment?" — talking to Jack Skellington.
 * "I can't count on those kids to do anything right. Would you be interested in helping me in their place?" — talking about Lock, Shock, and Barrel.
 * "What? Those kids are causing trouble in another town, too? Well, I suppose what happens in other towns doesn't concern my research." — talking about Lock, Shock, and Barrel.
 * "If Oogie's back, you can be sure he's up to no good. All's quiet here, though. Maybe he's out playing his tricks in another town." — talking about Oogie Boogie.
 * "There's nothing wrong with my design-it's flawless. There must be something wrong with the parts those imbeciles brought me. I need to find better assistants." — talking about his new experiment.
 * "Oh, help! Someone help me! My latest experiment is gone—it's been stolen!" — calling for help about his missing experiment.
 * "I was just sitting here brainstorming, when all of a sudden I was attacked! I collapsed! And when I awoke, my experiment was gone!" — explaining what happened to his experiment.
 * "What, those wretched things? Preposterous! This was nothing like a Heartless." — saying that the Heatless didn't steal his experiment.
 * "And this miscreant is the one who stole my experiment?" — talking about Jack's plan.
 * "Interesting! So the puppet wasn't stolen after all! It ran away on its own! In other words, my experiment was an overwhelming success!" — talking about the The Experiment.
 * "That's quite possible. Unlike my Sally, it wasn't equipped with a heart." — talking about The Experiment.
