Jin: And what about your family? Don’t they need you too? Always busy, never home. What’s that all about, Yi?
Yi: Don’t talk to me about family. You have no idea. No idea! Your life is so easy, Jin. Do you even want to be a doctor? Or do you just think that you’ll, I don’t know, you’ll look good in white?
Jin: Alright. Call me shallow all you want. At least I’m not delusional.
Yi: I don’t care if you think I’m crazy.
Jin: You’re impossible.

Jin: I know who you are.
Dr. Zara: You do?
Jin: Yeah. You’re the bad guys.

Jin: Your gerbil is freaking me out.

Burnish: Listen, you twit! I own that yeti. He is my yeti. I want my yeti back! Right? Just nod.

Jin: I just need to find my cousin, and my friend, and get them back to the city in one piece.
Dr. Zara: I can get all of you back to the city. But the only way I can help your friends is if I know where they are. Do you know?
[Jin shrugs]
Dr. Zara: That yeti is the pinnacle of my research. I really need him back.
Jin: I don’t know where they are. But I do know where they will be.

Burnish: Suddenly, I saw it. A yeti. A real yeti. Cold eyes staring. It tried to kill me! I needed to protect myself. I swung my ice ax, and it was gone. No footprints. Nothing. I rushed back to tell the world what had happened, but without proof they laughed at me. They laughed at me.
Jin: You spent all these years trying to get your proof?
Burnish: Mm-hmm. I’m so used to looking down on the world, it’s amazing how small one feels just by looking up.

[after Yi’s violin breakes as they crash their boat]
Jin: You okay?
Yi: Yeah, um, that violin meant everything to me. When we were little, you know, my dad used to play all the time. Um, but every night, when he was tucking me in, he would play this one song just for me. And, I don’t know, it made me feel like everything was going to be okay.

Jin: Yi, I’m sorry. I’m sorry for what I said. “Too busy, never home.” I…
Yi: No. No, no, no, you’re right. I know I keep busy. I just, I don’t know why. I mean, I miss him, and I don’t want to miss him. But I haven’t even cried yet, Jin. And my family, we’re all so distant, and I don’t know. I don’t know what to do.
Jin: Well, are you sure they’re the ones who are distant? But you were right about me too. Yeah, I hate to admit it, but, I mean, that thought about looking good in the white doctor’s coat? It did cross my mind. I am a horrible, horrible person.
Yi: [chuckles] Yeah, you are the worst.
Jin: I really, I am.

[referring to Everest’s powers]
Goon Leader: What do those powers mean for us?
[Zara replies in an American accent]
Dr. Zara: That yeti’s price tag just doubled.

[after Peng and Everest fix Yi’s violin by using Everest’s hair as strings; referring to the postcards]
Peng: Hey. When did you buy these?
Yi: Oh, I didn’t buy them. They were my dad’s. He kept postcards of all the places he wanted to take us someday. The whole family.
Peng: Yi, they’re all of the places we’ve been.
[looking through the postcards]
Yi: What? No way. What, how is this possible?
Jin: That can’t be.
Yi: We’ve been to all of these. All but one.
[Everest places the postcar of the Leshan Buddha in Yi’s hands]
Yi: The Leshan Buddha. This is the place that my dad wanted me to see the most. This is incredible.
[to Everest]
Yi: You brought me here, didn’t you?

[as they reach the Leshan Buddha statue]
Yi: I wish dad were here to see this.

[after Yi plays her violin and the magic from Everest’s hair causes the Buddha statue to become covered in flowers]
Yi: It’s beautiful. Thank you, Everest.
Peng: You did that, Yi. You did.
Yi: I did that?

Burnish: Everest, you are by far the most extraordinary creature I’ve ever seen. That is exactly why the world must never know you exist. They would not understand. I didn’t.
[to Yi]
Burnish: Now, can I please help you get back to the city?
Yi: Thank you, but I promised to take Everest home, and he’s not home yet.
Burnish: You’re going to take Everest all the way to Everest? That is impossible.
Jin: Sir, with all due respect, when Yi sets her mind on something, nothing is impossible.
Burnish: Yes.

[after reunite Everest with his family and returning too her home with the help of Burnish]
Nai Nai: Everybody, dig in.
[as he takes a bite]
Jin: Mmm. Wow. You know, I totally see what you mean about these pork buns.
Peng: Uh-huh. There is no one in the world who likes these pork buns more than me.
Yi: Well, maybe one.
Nai Nai: Who? Who else like my buns?
[the others laugh]
Nai Nai: No laughing. I’m serious.
