Kingdom Hearts

 * "So, I guess I’m the only one working on the raft." — talking about making the raft.
 * "Well, I haven’t really thought about it. It’s just... I’ve always wondered why we’re here on this island. If there are any other worlds out there, why did we end up on this one? And suppose there are other worlds... Then ours is just a little piece of something much greater. So we could have just as easily ended up somewhere else, right?" — talking about why they are here.
 * "If two people share one, their destinies become intertwined. They’ll remain a part of each other’s lives no matter what. C’mon, I know you want to try it." — talking about the Paopu Fruit.
 * "Deal? The winner gets to share a paopu with Kairi." — before the race with Sora.
 * "Kairi’s coming with us! Once we step through, we might not be able to come back. We may never see our parents again. There’s no turning back. But this may be our only chance. We can’t let fear stop us! I’m not afraid of the darkness!" — before he is engulfed in darkness.

 * "Of all the people I could run into, it had to be you..." — talking to Maleficent.
 * "That's fine with me. I turned to darkness because my heart was weak. I hate that weakness. It's like I'm my own enemy. And seeing people like you embrace the darkness just makes it worse! Enough talk, Maleficent." — before battling Dragon Maleficent.
 * "You always were chatty when it came to darkness. So let me guess... You want to pull me back into the darkness and play puppet master again... right?" — talking to Xehanort's Heartless.
 * "That voice...! Your Majesty, is that you?!" — upon Mickey appearing before him.
 * "Something...tastes kind of funny... What is it? It's so familiar... Darkness. The taste of darkness. What's happened to me... The darkness even seeps into my senses." — sensing darkness.
 * "You're...an illusion? My hand passes right through you." — before Mickey disappears.

 * "What the... What are you supposed to be?" — upon meeting Riku Replica.
 * "Are you calling me a coward?" — before battling Riku Replica.

 * "Ha ha, this time you're real. No illusions. I'm so glad you came!" — talking to Mickey.
 * "Where am I now? I don't remember this place. Your Majesty, do you know where we are? Your Majesty?" — arriving in Twilight Town.
 * "It'll go somewhere. Probably the same place my heart will go." — before Riku Replica vanishes.
 * "Hey! It's Sora! What did you do to him?" — talking to Namine about Sora.
 * "I knew as soon as I met you. Somehow you...smell the same. Look after Sora." — before leaving Twilight Town.

That means you're the only one who will be there for Sora, Donald, and Goofy--the only one who can guide them when they awaken." — wanting to give a promise to Mickey.
 * "Because I want back the rest of Sora's memories." — talking to Roxas.

 * "Ugh... Defeat..." — before Sora battles him.

 * "You should take care of your power, first. Leave the source of the bugs until you finish getting it back. The bugs are corrupting everything. Take care of yourself." — before Sora goes through the worlds in his memories.

 * "Yeah. I figured out the truth behind the bugs. This thing is the shadow of your existence... Sora, this is your Heartless." — talking about Sora's Heartless.

 * "Ansem. Or...Xehanort. You used to be a Keyblade wielder. But darkness stole your heart, and the Keyblade with it. Don't you see? That's half the reason I'm even on this journey.
