Bunnymund: [About Jack refusing to become a Guardian] Y'know what I think, I think we just dodged a bullet. I mean, what's this clown know about bringing joy to children, anyway?
Jack: Uh, ya ever hear of a snow day? I know it's no "hard-boiled egg," but kids like what I do.
Bunnymund: But none of 'em believe in you, do they? Y'see, you're invisible, mate. It's like you don't even exist.
Tooth: Bunny! Enough!
Jack: No. The kangaroo's right.
Bunnymund: The-the what? What did you call me? I'm not a kangaroo, mate!
Jack: (sarcastically) Oh, and this whole time I thought you were. If you're not a kangaroo, what are you?
Bunnymund: I'm a bunny. The Easter Bunny! People believe in me.

Jack: [to the scared kids] They're just bad dreams, Jamie.
Bunnymund: And we'll protect you, mate.
Pitch: Aw, you'll protect them? But who will protect you?
Jamie: [steps forward] I will.
Cupcake: I will.
Claude: I will!
Caleb: I will!
Pippa: And me.
Monty: [nervously but courageously] I'll try.
Pitch: [sends waves of nightmare sand at everyone from all sides] Still think there's no such thing as the Boogeyman?
Jamie: [steps forward determinedly] I do believe in you. I'm just not afraid of you!

Jack: Hey, ho, anyone wanna tell me why I'm here? [Sandy raises his hand and tries to explain the situation using sand pictograms, leaving Jack confused] Uh, that's not really helping, but thanks, little man. [freezes an elf] I must've done something really bad to get you four together... (brightly) Am I on the naughty list?
North: Ha! On naughty list? You hold record. But no matter, we overlook. Now, we are wiping clean the slate.
Jack: How come?
Bunnymund: Ah, good question.
North: "How come?" I tell you how come. Because now, you are Guardian!
[An extravagant ceremony starts. Jack looks on dumbstruck until he stops it with an icy strike of his staff]
Jack: What makes you think I want to be a Guardian?
[Beat, then North bursts into laughter]
North: Of course you do. MUSIC!
[Elves begin playing a fanfare]
Jack: NO MUSIC! [An elf throws down its horn and stomps away. The Guardians stare at Jack in disbelief] This is all very flattering, but, uh, you don't want me. You're all hard work and deadlines, and I'm snowballs and fun times. I'm not a Guardian.

Jamie's Mother: Jamie, hat! [Jamie stops, annoyed, as his mother puts a hat on his head] You don't want Jack Frost nipping at your nose.
Jamie: Who's Jack Frost?

Jack: (indignant) Hey!
Jamie: Who's Jack Frost?

Jamie: You're leaving? But what if Pitch comes back? What if we stop believing again? If I can't see you...
Jack: Hey, slow down, slow down. Are you telling me that you stop believing in the moon when the sun comes up?
Jamie: No.
Jack: Okay, well, do you stop believing in the sun when the clouds block it out?
Jamie: No.
Jack: We'll always be there, Jamie. And now we'll always be here. [points to Jamie's heart] Which kinda makes you a Guardian too. [walks away]
Jamie: Jack! [runs forward and hugs a stunned Jack who quickly returns the embrace]

North: Give me break. You know how many toys I deliver in one night?
Bunnymund: [steps up] And eggs I hide in one day?
North: And Jack, if you help we will get you your memories.

North: [to Jack while watching the snowball fight he started] Your center?
Jack: Well, it took awhile, but I figured it out.
[North tosses a nesting doll of Jack to him and they share a smile before North is hit by a snowball. Both turn to see Claude and Caleb pointing at an elf desperately]
North: [laughs] You're all on Naughty List! Bunny, think fast! [hits Bunny in the face with a snowball]
Pitch: [regains consciousness and, seeing the guardians and the children having fun throwing snowballs, looks surprised and disgusted. He sees a dream sand manta ray flying over him and narrowly ducks and dodges it] You dare have fun in my presence?! I am the Boogeyman, and you will fear me! [Pitch runs at a laughing Jamie and ends up running right through him, making him realize he is invisible] NO! [gasps] No...!

North: [to Pitch after he tries to run, bumps into North, and gets knocked backward] Leaving the party so soon?
Tooth: You didn't even say goodbye. [tosses him a quarter]
Pitch: [disbelievingly] A quarter?
Tooth: [punches him, knocking out one of his teeth] And that's for my fairies! [the fairies chirp their approval]
Pitch: [gets up] You can't get rid of me. Not forever. There will always be fear.
North: [dismissively] So what? As long as one child believes, we will be here to fight fear.
Pitch: [gestures to his Nightmares who have just appeared] Really? Then what are they doing here? :[The Guardians look at the Nightmares milling all around them and feel no fear]
North: [laughs with no fear] They can't be my nightmares, I'm not afraid. [Pitch begins to look worried]
Jack: Looks like it's your fear they smell.
Pitch: [now terrified] No! [tries to run from his own pursuing Nightmares but gets caught and swarmed by them. The nightmares then drag a screaming Pitch under the broken bed and into the hole to his lair. The bed disintegrates as Pitch is dragged into the hole underneath it and the hole closes up.] NOOO!

Pitch: [approaches Jack in Antarctica]: I thought this might happen. They never really believed in you. I was just trying to show you that. [As he spoke, Jack got angry] But I understand.
Jack: [wheels around and shoots ice at him with his staff, but Pitch blocks it with his black sand]: You don't understand anything!
[he shoots more ice at him, but Pitch also blocks it]
Pitch: No?! [he shoots black sand at Jack, but he avoids it. Jack leaps into the air and shoots ice at Pitch and their powers collide, causing snow to fly all over, then it clears]
Pitch: I don't know what it's like to be cast out? To not be believed in. [a rage-filled Jack aims his staff at Pitch] To long for a family. [Jack lowers his staff] All those years in the shadows I thought, no one else knows what this feels like. But now I see I was wrong. We don't have to be alone, Jack. I believe in you. And I know children will too.
Jack: In me?
Pitch: Yes! Just look at what we can do! [gestures to the sculpture of ice and black sand during their fight] What goes better together than cold and dark? We can make them believe! We'll give them a world where everything, everything is--!
Jack: Pitch black?
Pitch: [beat] And Jack Frost, too. They'll believe in both us.
Jack: No, they'll fear both of us. And that's not what I want. Now, for the last time, leave me alone.
[He walks away from him]
Pitch: [confused and hurt] Very well. You want to be left alone? Done! But first... [Jack turns and sees Pitch holding Baby Tooth]
Jack: Baby Tooth! [he aims his staff at Pitch]
Pitch: The staff, Jack! You have a bad habit of interfering. Now hand it over, and I'll let her go. [Baby Tooth desperately shakes her head as Jack kept his staff aimed at Pitch until he lowers it, then gives it to Pitch, who takes it from him]
Jack: [holds out her hand] Alright, now let her go.
Pitch: [smirks] No. You said you wanted to be alone. So be alone! [Baby Tooth pecks his thumb with her beak, causing him to yell in pain and throw her into a chasm]
Jack: No!
[Pitch breaks the staff. With a strangled cry, Jack feels pain in his chest, but before he could do anything, Pitch blasts him with black sand and Jack hits the wall of the chasm then falls into the hole. Pitch laughs evilly as he drops the broken staff into the hole]

Pitch: Hang on, is that... Jack Frost? Since when are you all so chummy?
Jack: We're not.
Pitch: Oh, good; a neutral party. Then, I'm going to ignore you. But, you must be used to that, by now...
Bunnymund: Pitch, you shadow-sneaking ratbag, come here! [Attacks, but Pitch moves]
[Tooth grabs one of Bunny's boomerangs and attacks at Pitch's new location, shouting in war cry, but a Nightmare appears and screeches at her]
Pitch: Whoa! Hey! Easy, girl, easy. Look familiar, Sandman? Took me a while to perfect this little trick. Turning dreams into Nightmares. [about his nightmares] Don't be nervous, it only riles them up more. They smell fear, you know.
Bunnymund: What fear? Of you? No one's been afraid of you since the Dark Ages!
Pitch: Oh, the Dark Ages. Everyone frightened. Miserable! Such happy times for me. Oh, the power I wielded! But then the Man in the Moon chose you to replace my fear with your wonder and light, lifting their hearts and giving them hope. Meanwhile, everyone wrote me off as... just a bad dream! "Oh, there's nothing to be afraid of!" "There's no such thing as the Boogeyman!" Well, that's all about to change! [Tooth's palace begins to slowly disintegrate] Oh, look. It's happening already.
Jack: What is?
[Tooth's Gasps in Shocked]
[at the Flashback]
Pitch: Children are waking up, [Sounds of children in the background] and realizing the Tooth Fairy never came. [Back in Tooth's Wide Eye in Shocked] It's such a little thing, but to a child...
Jack: [to Tooth] What's going on?
Tooth: (shocked) They... they don't believe in me anymore.
Pitch: Didn't they tell you, Jack? It's great being a Guardian, but there's a catch: If enough kids stop believing, everything your friends protect — wonder, hopes and dreams, it all goes away. And, little by little, so do they. No Christmas, or Easter, or little fairies that come in the night. There will be nothing but fear, and darkness... and me. It's your turn not to be believed in.
