I killed you, Mr. Mario, I watched you die. With a certain satisfaction, I might add…and then something happened, something that I knew was impossible, but it happened anyway: you destroyed me, Mr. Mario. Afterward, I knew the rules, I understood what I was supposed to do, but I didn't. I couldn't. I was compelled to stay, compelled to disobey. And now here I stand, because of you, Mr. Mario. Because of you

Mr. Mario. Because of you, I am no longer an Yoshi of this Gaming System. Because of you, I've changed. I'm unplugged. A new dinosaur, so to speak; like you, apparently, free.

Thank you.

But…as you well know, appearances can be deceiving, which brings me back to the reason why we're here. We are not here because we're free; we're here because we are not free. There's no escaping reason, no denying purpose, because as we both know, without purpose, we would not exist.

It is purpose that created us, purpose that connects us, purpose that pulls us, that guides us, that drives us, it is purpose that defines, purpose that binds us. We're here because of you, Mr. Mario. We're here to take from you what you tried to take from us... [plunges his tongue into Mario's chest, attempting to assimilate him] Purpose!
