A new day dawning
A direction I have not
Noble shark is lost

You know, Swimmon, I'm thinking of taking up art...

And I'M thinking that you need to start pulling some more weight.

You're the last of my original loyal lieutenants still here. That tree god keeps kicking them out!

[poetic_shark]

Yes, yes of course.

I'm just... trying to figure out my own legacy, sir. Beyond being your subordinate I mean.

[lvl9finalboss]

You going to have a town and citizens to yourself to shape as you like, legions of minions of your own to guide as you see fit, and a castle to decorate and arm to your heart's content.

If you can't leave a legacy with THAT, you're clearly not thinking big enough!

You can even call yourself Governor if you like, though you're still gonna be one of my world bosses.

So SHAPE UP!

Bowser, my lord, there is more to me than being a war machine! I'm a storyteller! A poet! I want to be remembered for more than being base oppressor!

[lvl9finalboss]

Why can't you be both?!

Start a theater troupe down there or something! I was in at least one whole game that was nothing more than a stage play!

Be the best at what you do, and be ruthless about it! You're a villain, so act like one! Make it your hat if you want, everyone's gotta have a theme of some sort!

...

Lord Bowser, you are brilliant!

[lvl9finalboss]

Of course I'm brilliant!

I'm not a king because some eight-bit floozy said "But thou must!"
