Dave: [holding shoes Balthazar has just given him] These are old-man shoes.
Balthazar: Excuse me?
Dave: [having noticed that Balthazar is wearing the same style of shoe] I love them... a lot.

NYU Clerk: I'll need to see your faculty identification card.
Horvath: [raising the glowing handle of his cane towards the clerk] You don't need to see my faculty identification card.
NYU Clerk: I don't need your faculty identification card.
Drake Stone: [imitating Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars] These are not
the droids you're looking for.

Balthazar: I had a dream. You were insulting me, Dave. Repeatedly.
Dave: Me? Pretty weird, huh?
Balthazar: No. Kinda makes sense.

Dave: [singing] I got a date with a girl, 'cause I'm... awesome!

[first lines]
Narrator: The war between Sorcerers was fought in the shadows of history, and the fate of mankind rested with the just and powerful Merlin. He told his secrets to three trusted apprentices: Balthazar, Veronica, and Horvath. He should have trusted only two.

Dave: Alright Rebecca, here it is: Many evil sorcerers will be raised from the dead tonight. So basically Morgana is trying to destroy the world as we know it.
Becky Barnes: Oh, just that.
Dave: This is really dangerous... I can't bring you into it.
Becky Barnes: Well, I think I'm already into it. And besides,
if you blow it we're all gonna die anyway, right? I wanna come with you.
Dave: You're sexy.

Balthazar: This is the Merlin Circle. It focuses your energy, helps you master new spells. It is where you will learn the Art. Step inside, you leave everything else behind. Once you enter, there is no going back.
Dave: So I should probably pee first?

Balthazar: Keep it subtle. Civilians mustn't know magic exists. That would be complicated.
Dave: Says the guy in the 350-year-old rawhide trenchcoat.

Dave: [trying to explain his feelings to Becky] These coils are my life. Two years I'm down here working with them, and they're making their own music, and it was lost on me. I was never able to appreciate it... until I met you. And I heard you talking about music on your radio show...
[Dave groans]
Dave: I'm sappy.


Balthazar: [speaking in Cantonese] Your hair is beautiful.
Chinese Woman: Ahh, you speak Mandarin!
Balthazar: Ahh.
[Balthazar throws the Chinese Woman across the room with a spell, and she's revealed to have been Horvath in disguise]
Balthazar: That was Cantonese, Horvath. The Grimhold, where is it?
Horvath: An old associate of mine speaks impeccable Cantonese. He lived about 200 years ago. You know him. Sun Lok? Course you do. You locked him inside the Grimhold.
[Horvath shows Sun Lok's empty Grimhold]
Horvath: Oops. Opened it.

Balthazar: [Horvath taunts Balthazar while creature is busy. Engine noise approaches; Balthazar recognizes the sound] That's my car.

Balthazar: What happened to 'Don't touch anything'?
