Come on, I'll give you paradise! / Liberate the you that you keep inside! / Come on, I'll give you romance! Come on, I'll give you paradise! / Make your dreams come true, you'll see fantasy / Magic can happen to you!

Look out for them all! / You can search around the world with me! / Gotta heed the call of magic Dragon Balls! / What a great adventure this will be! / You can climb on board, 'cause the Nimbus doesn't wait! / A fantastic journey for your dreams, a thrilling mystery! / Through the fires of time, they've waited patiently / When all seven balls you find, the Dragon is set free / Rising, rising, mesmerizing, unbridled ecstasy! / Radiant and shining, hidden somewhere in the field / Luminous and blinding, with your desire revealed / Ageless, timeless, what you'll find is beyond belief! / Let's try, try, try, look high and low! / Search the sky and the sea below! / Let's try, try, try, seize the day / and make new friends along the way! / Find the Dragon Balls!

Singer: Grab them in the hands! Dragon Ball! / One of the world's most thrilling secrets / Hunt those down! Dragon Ball! / One of the world's most pleasant miracles / This world is a huge treasure island / That's right, right now, Adventure! / The chest is tightened excitedly in love, dreaming lots of various colors / Somewhere in this world it's glowing / Let's go and find those, boy, striking out the ghosts and goblins / We'll also fly on the cloud machine today / Let's try, try, try, mystical adventure / Across the sky and over the mountains / Let's fly, fly, fly, great adventure / The wonderful trip has begun! / Grasp them in your hands! Dragon Ball! / One of the world's most tough chances / Chase those down! Dragon Ball! / One of the world's most enjoyable dramas / This world is a huge treasure island / That's right, right now, Adventure!
Krillin: Slow down! You know if I lose my grip on you I'll fall through this cloud!
Goku: Well if you would stop thinking bad thoughts then it wouldn't be a problem!
Krillin: Fat chance.
Goku: Hey Krillin look, do you think Master Roshi would like that lady over there?
Krillin: You mean I have to look down? Goku that's a man!
Goku: Really? How can you tell? Gosh, they all look pretty much the same to me.
Krillin: Huh? You're joking, right? I mean you really can't tell the difference?
Goku: Well, usually I can figure it out. I just have to touch them first.
Krillin: Hmm? In case you couldn't tell, I'm a boy.
Goku: Oh!
[Japanese closing song]
Singer: Come along in a fantasy, a likable mystery / Don't hide your youthfulness / Want to have a mystery, want to have an adventure / Everybody's itching to go / If you give up pretending to be an adult / you can't solve like a simple puzzle / Try to be wilder and stronger, / in life! / I'll give you romance, I'll give you romance / Show us your true bravery! / I'll give you romance, I'll give you romance / The glisten light flutters in the hearts, / I'll give you a dream!
Son Gokû: Well, this blows.
Chi-Chi: Goku, wedding is not a food.
Anonymous RRA Soldier: So then an accountant tells me they'll have to take it out of my next pay check and I'm just like, "Wait a minute, man! The ribbon should come *with* the uniform! Free! End of discussion!"
Anonymous RRA Soldier #2: At least you didn't let him walk on ya.
[pause]
Anonymous RRA Soldier #2: A Dragonball just hit your head!
Anonymous RRA Soldier: ...Huh?
General White: But if that's how you feel, I'll be glued to my monitor watching as you are reduced to nothing but a pile of those little chicken bones that you put in salt!
[regarding Goku taking on the Red Ribbon Army]
Woman: Goku, you must listen to me. Do you have any idea what you're up against?
Goku: Sure. Scumbags.
General Blue: This boy has laid waste to two of our best regiments and I will not be the third! He may possess some skill, but there is one thing I know for certain and that is... nothing lasts forever!
Chi-Chi: Goku, wedding is not a food.
Colonel Silver: It's here somewhere, buried in all this crap! Think very carefully, the next word you say could determine the quality of the rest of your life.
Ninja Murasaki: You weren't supposed to dodge that!
Commander Silver: What have you got in here?
Goku: None of your business.
Commander Silver: Okay then I'll give you one last chance give me that dragon ball.
Goku: No. I need those dragon balls.
Advisor Black: Maybe... he'll call back...!
Goku: Well, this blows.
Colonel Silver: I'll ask the questions here. Now tell me, what do you want with the Dragonballs, and how did you manage to find so easily what my entire *army* could not?
Goku: You'll regret it if you make me come up there.
Red Ribbon Solider: Okay.
Colonel Silver: Good afternoon! You'll have to excuse the temper of my men; they've been traveling all day and it's left them a bit... irritable.
General White: So the traitorous, poorly-constructed machine asks like a big-shot. Who made you? Who was it that brought you back to this world as a cyborg after you had died once before? Just exactly who? Say it!
Cyborg #8: It was you, General White.
