- Nemo: I'm not afraid of anything.
- Agent Green: Being brave isn't about not being scared. It's about doing what you have to do, even when you are.
- Peter: Did you ever figure it out? What the lighthouse is for?
- Nemo: It's not to keep ships safe.
- Peter: No. If we wanted to do that, we'd never let 'em leave harbor, would we?
- Nemo: To guide you on your journey.
- Peter: That's right. So you can see things that the lighthouse keeper can only dream of. I didn't teach you all those things so you could live on an island. I did it so that you could know... you can do anything.

- Ms. Arya: [narrating] People think dreams are an escape. A chance to slip away from waking life to a world with no consequence. But that's not true. Your dreams don't just happen. We make them happen. And we design them with care just for you. We have our reasons, and we have our rules. We make your dreams to help you on your journey. And where this one's going, she's gonna need all the help she can get.
- Flip: This isn't some Girl Scout trip to Lollipop Land, Okay? We're gonna have to travel through people's dreams to get to that treasure. So you get killed, it's on you.
- Nemo: You said you can't die in a dream.
- Flip: I said you can't die in your dream. You die in your dream, you wake up. You die in someone else's dream, you don't wake up. Ever!
