[After Ian and Barley got back from under in the sewer, they find out they're back near his high school in New Mushroomton at the near end of their quest.]
It's okay? We can figure this out.
Figure out what? We're back where we started.
I mean, it has to be here. There was a gauntlet. I mean, unless that gauntlet was for, coincidentally, some different quest. That's a possibility.
What?
No, no, no. This has to be where the Phoenix Gem is. I followed my gut.
Oh, no.
What?
The gem is in the mountain. The mountain we could have been to hours ago, if we'd just... stayed on the expressway.
No, the expressway is too obvious. You can never take the obvious...
[enraged]
If I hadn't listened to you! OKAY?! I can't believe this. You act like you know what you're doing, but you don't have a clue! And that's because you are a screw-up. And now, you've screwed up my chance to have the ONE THING I'VE NEVER HAD!!
[Barley, shocked and hurt, gasps softly at Ian's words, so is his dad. Ian turns his back on Barley and walks away with Dad.]
Where are you going?
Ian, wait! We can still find the Phoenix Gem! We just have to keep looking! Ian! IAN!
