- "I am the Eternal Dragon. State your wish and I shall grant it."
- ― Shenron (Dragon Ball series)
- "Wait, dude! Look, I like you, so you should know my wishes always got an ironic twist to them. It's like a monkey's paw kind of thing. You just gotta be really specific. Say your wish is: 'I wish for a back rub.' Who's gonna give it to you? A dirty man? A bear? And where does this 'masseuse' come from? Do I zap some guy away from his family dinner? Leave some kid traumatized? 'Mom, where did dad go?' 'Oh, I don't know son he just disappeared from the table... sorry.' You see, Jake, there are rules to this stuff, wishing an event to be changes elements before and after it. Memories will be destroyed, babies will not be born, potential worlds could be evaporated by your wish!"
