Tales of Monkey Island: Difference between revisions

** It is revealed in Chapter 3 that Morgan [[Speaks Fluent Animal|can talk to monkeys too]], though she speaks "a little monkey".

** Also, in Chapter 3, {{spoiler|there are manatees that speak in their own language that Guybrush is not good at understanding. He discovers that he needs to be a successor to [[Speaks Fluent Animal|Santino]] by getting the [[Translator Microbes|manatee language book]] from the Marquis De Singe [[Grand Theft Me|via the Voodoo Lady]], and by getting the [[Translator Collar|Tongue of the Manatee]]. Once Guybrush obtains both, he can communicate with the manatees in their own language, while the subtitles act as interpreter for the manatee language, regardless of whether you've turned them on or off.}}

* [[Armed With Canon]]: In ''Tales'', follow the career of the Pyrite Parrot of Petaluma, particularly from the end of Chapter 2 to the start of Chapter 3. Sean Vanaman (the writer of Chapter 3) [http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?p=229926#post229926 admits] there was some [[Take That|friendly infighting]] on the team.

* [[Artifact Title]]: This game has nothing to do with Monkey Island.

* [[Art Imitates Art]]: In Chapter 1, there is a Desingeograph of the "Vitruvian Pirate", which Guybrush calls "Pirate Da Vinci", on the Illuminopictoscreen; this "Vitruvian Pirate" is definitely a spoof of ''Vitruvian Man'' by [[Leonardo Da Vinci]].

* [[Ascended Meme]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dP5bR1o-elg Grog XD] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f66lfr5VzOo&feature=related appears in the fifth part]. Sort of a recursive meme, since the Grog XD joke was based of of [[The Long List]] of ingredients found in Grog in ''[[The Secret of Monkey Island (Video Game)|The Secret of Monkey Island]]''.

** The singing manatee that De Cava left on Roe Island is named [[Oh, the Humanity!|Hugh]].

* [[Bar Brawl]]: Chapter 1 has one, though it is rather downplayed as an unseen bar fight at Club 41. However, it is later played straight in Chapter 4, though the Bar Brawl is more of a Bar Swordfight.

* [[Battle in The Rain]]: Chapter 1 starts out like this on [[It Was a Dark And Stormy Night|a dark and stormy night]] as Guybrush tries to finish the ingredients for the Cursed Cutlass of Kaflu in order to destroy LeChuck, {{spoiler|but due to the botched up moves and the last-minute substitutions, it ends with Guybrush [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|ending up turning LeChuck into a human and getting infected along with all the others by an outbreak of the voodoo pox]].}}

** In the fifth chapter, when {{spoiler|1=Van Winslow attacks LeChuck's ship with an army of merfolk and saves Guybrush from being murdered by a demonic Elaine.}}

* [[Big No]]: {{spoiler|1=McGillicutty in Chapter 2, when [[Hoist By His Own Petard|his own cannonball blasts off the Screaming Narwhal's rubber tree mast and ends up sinking his own ship]].}}

** Also, {{spoiler|De Singe in Chapter 4, when the moths completely destroy his turban holding Guybrush's hand as his only source of "Jus de Vie".}}

* [[Big Sleep]]: Almost averted at the end of Chapter 4, {{spoiler|when the mortally wounded Guybrush's eyes open wide in a blank stare at a saddened Elaine (almost in a [[Dies Wide Open]] position), but then gently close as he collapses and "falls asleep" with his mouth open.}} (Possibly [[Foreshadowing|foreshadowed]] in a way previously in Chapter 1, {{spoiler|when Guybrush looks at the quarters door of either Elaine's ship or the Screaming Narwhal and says, "[[Warren Zevon (Music)|I'll sleep when I'm dead.]] Or later tonight."}})

* [[Big "What?"]]: Shouted by the Voodoo Lady in Chapter 1 when Guybrush tells her about the botched up ritual. Also shouted by {{spoiler|1=Guybrush and LeChuck}} a few times in Chapter 5.

** In Chapter 3, {{spoiler|after extracting the formula from Guybrush's Poxed hand,}} De Singe becomes joyous, then mutters to himself in French, "La mort est tuée..." (albeit without the "é") which, when translated, means "Death is killed." {{spoiler|This becomes a key plot point for De Singe in Chapter 4, and later for Guybrush in Chapter 5 when he repossesses his decaying corpse and [[Blessed With Suck|keeps himself "alive" with the Spirit Gum]].}}

* [[Bizarre Sexual Dimorphism]]: Subverted by the Mermaids and Mermen. All merfolk look pretty much the same to us Humans, and there's no external dimorphism between sexes (both are pretty and feminine-looking, and have androgynous voices). Things tend to get [[Squick|squicky]] when Human men mistake Mermen for their female counterparts.

* [[Bloodless Carnage]]: Especially evident in chapter 4, when a couple of people get impaled but the swords stay clean.

* [[Blowing a Raspberry]]: Defendant Guybrush does this when Defense Attorney Guybrush tries asking him(self), "What's your impression of the plaintiff's case?"

* [[Brain Bleach]]: Episode 1: Guybrush Threepwood goes to open a closet, which the Voodoo Lady yells for him not to open before adding, "It's where I keep my... unmentionables." Guybrush shudders, and the closet from then on is named "The Scariest Closet in the World."

** Also, when the Voodoo Lady apparently goes into too much detail about a previous romantic relationship with De Cava, Guybrush covers his ears and blocks her out between "[her] supple-" and "-like a volcano!"

* [[Brick Joke]]: A possibly accidental one: The [[The Secret of Monkey Island (Video Game)|first game]] has Guybrush state "half the people I know are called Guybrush." The brick comes crashing down in Chapter 4 when he explains to Bosun Krebbs {{spoiler|that she had attempted to carry out revenge on the ''wrong'' Guybrush Threepwood.}} Apparently he even gets his mail.

** Early in Chapter 1, Guybrush gains entrance to Club 41 and is told that all probationary members have to wear blindfolds inside the club, so he puts one on and promptly gets involved in a bar fight. Late in Chapter 5, when Guybrush {{spoiler|goes back to Club 41 and retrieves the blindfold for use in a voodoo recipe}}, he learns that the whole "all probationary members have to wear blindfolds inside the club" thing was just a joke on the bouncer's part.

* [[Brief Accent Imitation]]: In Chapter 4, Morgan does this when she tells Guybrush that the Marquis De Singe, with the ridiculous French accent, wants to study his ''"unique strain of Pox."''

** Before that, in Chapter 1, Guybrush does this ridiculous French accent when dipping Pink Pajama Pierre into a vat of ink: "Sacré bleu! Eez zis ze end of Pink... Pajama... Pierre? Glug!"

* [[But Wait! There's More!]]: Spoken by LeChuck in Chapter 4, {{spoiler|1=when, after confessing to the court that he was the one who spread the Pox of LeChuck, he has something else (i.e., the Voodoo Lady's diary) to show to the court.}}

* [[By the Lights of Their Eyes]]: One of the buttons on De Singe's Auto-Trepanation Helmet in Chapter 4 causes the entire "laboratorium" to go dark temporarily, with only Guybrush's eyes visible when he says, "Ack! I'm blind!" Thankfully the lights turn back on.

* [[Catchphrase Interruptus]]: Guybrush tries to say, "[[You Fight Like a Cow]]!", but then gets interrupted throughout the game. The first time is at the beginning of Chapter 1, when he gets interrupted by Elaine; the second is at the beginning of Chapter 2, when Morgan [[Talk to The Fist|cuts off his hand before he can finish]]; and the third is in Chapter 4, when both Guybrush and the human LeChuck start saying the catchphrase at the same time, but both stop themselves before they can finish, then look at each other and laugh.

* [[Cat Fight]]: Between Elaine and Morgan in Episode 4.

** Elaine's mention of a troubling encounter with an enchanted aardvark in part one is especially odd when you consider the trope's [[Cerebus the Aardvark|namesake]]. Seems like a case of unintentional foreshadowing.

* [[Chekhov's Boomerang]]: Plenty of items are used in at least two different puzzles. The Pyrite Parrot of Petaluma goes the extra mile, though. He's used for an important puzzle in Chapter 1, used for ''two'' puzzles, in two very different ways, in Chapter 2, lost in Chapter 3, seemingly destroyed for good in Chapter 4, and then used for ''one last puzzle'' in Chapter 5, despite all that's happened to it. Handy little hunk of fool's gold, isn't he?

** The hook is the most used item in the game, to the point where it is basically a glorified "pick up" and "open" command. Guybrush can open every single lock he encounters with it. By the time he finds a mysterious voodoo chest, he wonders himself if it can really be this easy all the time.

* [[Darker and Edgier]]: Currently, ''Tales'' seems destined to become the darkest entry in the series, as {{spoiler|Guybrush got his hand cut off, a character dies, and there's another character that dies in the game, and that's... ''Guybrush''.}} Also, the more "adult" jokes are much more frequent and overt than they were in the previous games.

** Not to mention that, unlike previous games, ''Tales'' has fewer [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|Fourth Wall Breaks]]. Other than Guybrush talking to [[Im Talking To You|himself]], there are very few in-game references to the wall. One exception is Guybrush investigating the chest in the Voodoo Lady's shack a second time in Chapter 1 (after the Voodoo Lady tells him it will be important "many moons from now"), and saying "It's a mysterious chest that I won't be opening in this episode".

* [[Dead Artists Are Better]]: Both discussed and parodied in Chapter 4:

{{quote| '''Guybrush:''' How're sales going?<br />

* [[Does This Make Me Look Fat]]: One of the silver trophies in the PS3 version of the game is labeled: {{spoiler|"Does This Corpse Make Me Look Fat?"}}

* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: In Chapter 4, after Guybrush gives D'Oro the glass eye, the latter gives him his own map as evidence. Guybrush asks how the map got here, to which D'Oro replies that he smuggled it in his mouth. This map smuggling in the mouth could be a reference to something drug-related, but rather in the lines of "[[I Can't Believe It's Not Heroin!]]".

{{quote| '''Voodoo Lady:''' "Don't touch that! {{spoiler|It's where I keep my... unmentionables}}."<br />

'''Guybrush:''' "{{spoiler|[[Brain Bleach|Gewghh....]]}}"<br />

* [[Electric Instant Gratification]]: Jacques the monkey in episode 1. The commentaries state that funnily enough, they did it like that to get the ESRB to approve it - "See, we're not torturing the monkey; he's enjoying it!"

* [[Enhance Button]]: Parodied in Chapter 1: Guybrush is using an ''analog optical telescope'', and asks his first mate Winslow to "enhance the upper right quadrant" -- Winslow just turns the telescope to increase the zoom. Guybrush then asks for "full enhancement", and Winslow holds up a ''second'' telescope at the end of the first one.

* [[Episodic Game]]

* [[Equivalent Exchange]]

* [[Funny Background Event]]: During the Brotherhood chase in Chapter 3, while Guybrush is asking Morgan for help, you can see Noogie suddenly stop while raising his wooden sword in the air before collapsing, and Guybrush running and passing through him before he gets up and rejoins the chase. So funny.

** Near the end of Chapter 4, though not a funny background event, {{spoiler|1=while LeChuck shouts and laughs in glee, "LECHUCK! Arr, this name-shouting is jolly good fun!", you can see the wounded Guybrush sitting against the encased wind idol in pain in the background before Elaine runs up to him, kneels down, and desperately tries reviving him by holding him close to her. So touching.}}

* [[Genius Ditz]]: Guybrush has a knack for solving puzzles, if nothing else.

* [[Genre Savvy]]: Other than Guybrush, we have Coronado De Cava, who also seems to understand that his world works in puzzles. The man appreciates the quality of good rubber tree.

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: "Would you mind releasing my wife? She gets a little cranky when she's tied up for more than an hour or so."

* [[Healing Factor]]: The Marquis De Singe, eventually.

* [[Heel Face Turn]]: LeChuck. Unfortunately, the [[Applied Phlebotinum|Phlebotinum]] discharge that accompanies it is causing everyone else in the Caribbean to undergo a gradual [[Face Heel Turn]]!

* [[Here We Go Again]]: In Chapter 2, this is lampshaded by the MerLeader when McGillicutty [[Poke the Poodle|repeatedly attempts to drown him/her as "torture"]]:

{{quote| '''Chieftain Beluga:''' Guybrush, sink his ship! <br />

'''McGillicutty:''' I'll deal with you later, [[My Name Is Not Durwood|Stinkwood]]! I think old fin-face here wants another dip in the drink! [[Evil Laugh|HA ha ha ha harr!]]<br />

'''Chieftain Beluga:''' Here we go again. ''[s/he is lowered into the water]'' }}

* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Guybrush suffers a brief one in the fifth episode when {{spoiler|it appears as if his wife has abandoned him for his arch-nemesis.}}

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: An unusually low-key example happens in the final episode when {{spoiler|1=Morgan LeFlay sacrifices her remaining thread of life to allow Guybrush to open the portal to the world of the living. She claims that what she's actually sacrificing is her reputation as a pirate hunter, but it's obvious from the look on her face as she walks away that she knows she's just given up any hope of being fully restored to life}}.

** And in Chapter 5:

*** "Mo' money, mo <ref> problems.</ref>"

*** "That witch is nothing but [[The Music Man|trouble with a capital T, and that rhymes with]] <ref> P,</ref> [[The Music Man|and that stands for]] <ref> pool.</ref>"

*** Winslow's deodorant is named "Old <ref> Spice</ref>".

{{quote| '''Guybrush:''' I love the smell of treasure in the morning!}}

* [[I Meant to Do That]]: Guybrush says this in Chapter 1 after he has caught the Desingeograph of his Poxed hand with his feet and flips it onto the picture bucket near the Illuminopictoscreen. Even though he says that as if he were doing it by accident, it is all a part to escape from the operating table in De Singe's laboratory.

* [[Impaled With Extreme Prejudice]]: Guybrush does this to LeChuck in a botched attempt to destroy him. {{spoiler|1=LeChuck later does it to both Morgan and Guybrush.}}

* [[Impossible Hourglass Figure]]: Morgan.

** Yes, if they all have been infected by a powerful [[Hate Plague]] that makes them mad.

* [[Kill'Em All]]: {{spoiler|Out of all the new characters you meet in the storyline, only Van Winslow, Anenome, Bugeye and Judge Grindstump definitely survive until the end of episode 5. It's heavily implied that absolutely all of the other characters you meet in the game are killed}}. Yes, this is indeed a dark tale.

** {{spoiler|Other than that, also in Chapter 4, the only "cutie" that the Marquis De Singe has "killed" is the [[Chekhov's Boomerang|Pyrite Parrot of Petaluma]], which he uses as a test subject for the Jus de Vie in the Vaycaylian Wind Control Device in front of Guybrush and Elaine.}}

** {{spoiler|1=Also, Noogie in Chapter 3. He is so [[Adorkable]] when he plays the bongos and has a date with Morgan LeFlay despite his glasses. After the betrayal, capture, and interrogation, however, Noogie disappears. Guybrush can ask Bugeye what happened to Noogie during the ship battle for La Esponja Grande, and Bugeye can reply that Noogie [[Released to Elsewhere|"went to a quiet farm upstate"]], meaning, of course, that he is killed off-screen. You can even find his grave in the afterlife in Episode 5. Poor Noogie.}}

* [[Little Black Dress]]: {{spoiler|1=Elaine finally gets one when she willingly becomes LeChuck's demon bride in Chapter 5, and this black bridal dress has all the elements of a [[Pimped-Out Dress]] (see below).}}

* [[Live Item]]: Several, the most celebrated one is ... Murray.

** The Crossroads thief actually encourages you to pull this on him. Guybrush doesn't have to finish a sentence before the thief pretends to be fooled long enough for Guybrush to steal something. It is a sort of thief paradise, after all.

* [[Loud Gulp]]: Quite a few, actually:

'''LeChuck:''' Be that as it may, we still must work together to retrieve this [[Summoning Artifact]]! }}

* [[Mistaken for Murderer]]: In Chapter 4, {{spoiler|1=as Guybrush starts his "Feast for the Senses" quest, he sees De Singe exit his "laboratorium" in distress, indicating that something is going on in the lab. On entering, he finds the lab in a total mess, and Morgan lying on the floor, stabbed by her own Blade of Dragotta. Before she dies, she whispers her [[Dying Clue|last words as a warning]], unheard by the player and misheard by Guybrush, leading him to believe that De Singe killed her. When he later confronts De Singe before tossing [[MacGuffin|La Esponja Grande]] into the Wind Control Device while testing it, Guybrush can blame him for the atrocious act of murder, to which De Singe can imply that he didn't kill her by spouting out clues that can be helpful to the player but not to Guybrush ("Of course I ran out of my lab! There was [[Bloodless Carnage|blood all over the floor]] instead of being packed neatly in vials where it belongs!" and "Ooh, the Mighty Pirate™ thinks I murdered his friend! However will I live with the shame?"). It is not until both De Singe and Guybrush are killed (the former by the latter, the latter by LeChuck) or until Guybrush meets up with Morgan in the Crossroads that he realizes that the LeChuck who killed him is the same [[Big Bad]] who killed her during Guybrush's "criminal charge" trial as well. Oops.}}

* [[Mouth Cam]]: Two of them (in the mouths of manatees), both in Chapter 3: one when Guybrush is approaching the cave guarded by a female manatee, and one near the end of the chapter, {{spoiler|as the Giant Manatee approaches to swallow De Cava and his crew in the Howler Monkey}}.

* [[MST]]: At the end of Lair of the Leviathan, Murray starts poking fun at certain names and snarking about the length of the credits.

** And that is not all, as this is followed by {{spoiler|1=Guybrush being asked by the Voodoo Lady to search for the legendary [[MacGuffin]] Esponja Grande and his eventually finding the sponge and using it to absorb and remove the pox from everyone in Chapter 4, curing them completely, so that LeChuck can obtain it for himself, killing Guybrush in the process. Nice job [[Stupid Sacrifice|curing everyone and getting yourself killed]], Guybrush.}}

** {{spoiler|1=And in Chapter 5, when Guybrush (as a [[Ghost Pirate]]) finds a spell so he can escape the Crossroads and return to the living world, he opens up the rip in the Crossroads and inadvertently (along with LeChuck's hypnotized monkeys) lets the villain use La Esponja Grande to harness the voodoo power from the Crossroads, creating other rips and becoming the [[A God Am I|Demon Pirate God of the Caribbean]] who turns a willing Elaine into his demon bride. Nice job making LeChuck more evil, Guybrush! However, creating other rips lets Guybrush find a way to [[Inhuman Human|repossess his own corpse]] and shrink the sponge in order to free Elaine from LeChuck's influence. So nice job negating your breaking it and averting the destruction, Guybrush.}}

** This beatdown will continue uninterrupted if you, the player, don't figure out a way to stop it. Given that this is an adventure game, finding the solution takes time and it's just heart wrenching to hear Guybrush's voice full of pain then being forced to return to the beating when something you try isn't successful. The longer it takes to solve the puzzle [[Video Game Caring Potential|the worse it gets]].

* [[Non Sequitur Thud]]: "Is that you, mother? I washed my hands..."

** Only discussed in Chapter 4, when Bosun Kathryn Krebbs repeatedly shouts out, "Off with his head!", "Off with your head!", and "Off with her head!"

* [[Official Couple]]: Guybrush and Elaine.

* [[Or Are You Just Happy to See Me]]: In the [[PS 3]] version, one of the bronze trophies obtained in Chapter 1 (when Guybrush sees the effects of the Pox of LeChuck on the inhabitants) is labeled, "Is That a Pox on Your Face, or Are You Just Angry to See Me?"

* [[Our Ghosts Are Different]]: {{spoiler|Guybrush’s tipoff to ghosthood is the return of his severed hand. He has to go through some figurative hoops to return to the land of the living, where he can’t manipulate any objects that he didn’t bring with him.}}

== P-T ==

* [[Paper Tiger]]: Bugeye is a bald, tattooed pirate who disrespects the main character and generally talks tough. But once you need to get information out of him, you find that the slightest bit of pressure will make him squeal.

* [[The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything]]: This is ''finally'' averted in The Siege of Spinner Cay: McGillicutty and his crew are pirates incarnate, who pillage, fire cannons, bury treasure, lay siege to innocent ports, drown people, threaten Guybrush repeatedly, and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|cook]].

** One must remember that they do this under the influence of [[The Corruption]]...

'''Elaine:''' ''[screams in annoyance]'' No! Finish! The! Recipe! }}

* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: In Chapter 4, Guybrush gives one of these speeches to Morgan LeFlay, and makes her feel visibly terrible for the acts that caused it.

* [[Released to Elsewhere]]: Poor, poor Noogie...

* [[Resurrected Romance]]: {{spoiler|Guybrush himself, at the end of the game}}.

'''LeChuck''': LECHUCK! ''*laughs*'' Arr, this name-shouting is jolly good fun! }}

* [[Scrolling Text]]: This is the first time we actually see scrolling subtitle text that accompanies the voices in a ''Monkey Island'' game, be it fast or slow. Sometimes words in the subtitle text start appearing ''before'' a character says them almost at the exact same time the subtitle finishes, which is apparent in some scenes in Chapter 4.

{{quote| [[spoiler:'''LeChuck''': Does Elaine know about Morgan, Guybrush?<br />

'''Elaine''': ''[looks at LeChuck]'' What?<br />

** Also, in "Chapter 2: The Siege of Spinner Cay", Guybrush has another meaning to "[[This Loser Is You|You Suck]]!":

{{quote| '''Guybrush:''' My assessment of your cannon-operating skills, not to mention your personal appearance, odor and intelligence, is that you are unmistakably inferior in each of those criteria.}}

** When you inexplicably have to roll some cheese against a rock Guybrush does a [[Wallace and Gromit]] impression (Telltale also released an episodic adventure series based on [[Wallace and Gromit]]).

** Also in Episode 1, you meet a pirate who has become a glassblower. In [[Ultima|Ultima V]], in Buccaneer's Den, there's a pirate named Sven, who used to be a glassblower.

** And LeChuck's speech to Elaine {{spoiler|up to the point when Morgan stabs him}} in the end of Chapter 5 is a parody of Old Man Waterfall's [[Sedgwick Speech]] in an episode of ''[[Futurama (Animation)|Futurama]]''.

** Chapter 5, {{spoiler|traveling between the material world and the afterlife through rips in space, which connect the afterlife to previously visited locations}}? Didn't ''[[Loom (Video Game)|Loom]]'' end the same way?

*** At the beginning of the intro to Chapter 2, the Voodoo Lady quotes England's deposed king Edward IV's words to Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick (a.k.a. just Warwick), before the former is taken captive in ''[[Henry VI Part 3 (Theatre)|Henry VI Part 3]]'': "What fates impose, that men must needs abide; / It boots not to resist both wind and tide" (IV.iii). Only her subtitle got it right ("needs"), while her voice got it wrong ("need").

*** In Chapter 4, if the player has Guybrush use one of the severed legs on the altar without dipping it in sugar water, he will quote a few lines in a spoof of "Alas, poor Yorick" from ''[[Hamlet (Theatre)|Hamlet]]'' (V.i) (this is done in the [[PS 3]] version in order to net the player a "Guybrush Goes Classy" silver trophy).

* [[Shrine to The Fallen]]: In Chapter 5, {{spoiler|1=Club 41 becomes a shrine to Guybrush, whose [[Martyrdom Culture]] is due to his [[Heroic Sacrifice]] (or rather [[Stupid Sacrifice]]) Sacrifice for saving the entire Gulf of Melange from the [[Hate Plague|Pox of LeChuck]]. The Club even has barrels of Grog, [[Sam and Max Freelance Police|Banang]], and root beer, along with votive candles, Guybrush's commemorative photo, and a wreath to be used as kindling next to [[Dead Guy On Display|Guybrush's corpse]] [[Due to The Dead|for cremation]]... unless his [[Ghost Pirate|spirit]] can repossess his body in time, that is.}}

* [[Spikes of Villainy]]: LeChuck final incarnation in ''Tales''.

** Of course, some fans may not have [[Like You Would Really Do It|believed that that was really going to happen]] and so didn't regard the title as a spoiler. There's also the fact that it's technically a subversion, since {{spoiler|the use of the phrase 'Trial and Execution' would suggest the multiple death penalties Guybrush faces for his court charges, which he is cleared of. Of course, that makes it a double subversion when he's killed later.}}

* [[Spoof Aesop]]: In episode 4, you have to help a plant that literally has a lion's paw stuck in its thorn.

{{quote| '''Guybrush:''' Tell me where I can find {{spoiler|the Tongue of the Manatee}} or it's time for Tibetan Tickle Torture.}}

* [[Well See About That]]: Spoken by De Singe, both in Chapters 1 and 4.

** {{spoiler|1=The body count: Guybrush Threepwood, Morgan LeChuck, the Marquis De Singe, Davey Nipperkin (off-screen), and even the Pyrite Parrot of Petaluma! This episode also verifies that LeFlay didn't survive Episode 2. The only deaths described outside this episode are Noogie (died off-screen by the end of Episode 3) and the three pirates who tried to mug McGillicutty back in episode 2 (you meet them again in the land of the dead).}}

* [[What Does This Button Do?]]: At the beginning of Chapter 3, De Cava wonders what the button on the locket does after {{spoiler|Guybrush has handed said trinket over to him. It turns out that pressing the button initiates the Voodoo Lady's [[Grand Theft Me]] of De Cava as she tells Guybrush his next mission}}.

'''[[Chekhov's Boomerang|Pyrite Parrot]]:''' *Squawk* It's me, Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirate!<br />

'''Guybrush:''' Shut up, you! }}

* [[Womb Level]]: Chapter 3 is almost 2/3 of this, {{spoiler|spent inside the belly of the giant manatee that Guybrush and the entire Screaming Narwhal were swallowed by at the end of Chapter 2.}}

* [[Word Schmord]]: Appears a few times in a few conversations in Chapters 1 and 5.
