A scene from Rise of the Guardians 2012
Jack

[Pitch and his nightmares have raided Tooth's palace, stealing the teeth and kidnapping all but one of her fairies]

I'm sorry about the fairies.

Tooth

You should have seen them. They put up such a fight...

Jack

Why would Pitch take the teeth?

Tooth

It's not the teeth he wanted. It's the memories inside them.

Jack

What do you mean?

Tooth

That's why we collect the teeth, Jack. They hold the most important memories of childhood. [leads Jack to a mural depicting her duties as the Tooth Fairy] My fairies and I watch over them, and when someone needs to remember what's important, we help them. We had everyone's here. [touches Jack's shoulder] Yours, too.

Jack

My memories?

Tooth

From when you were young; before you became Jack Frost.

Jack

But... I wasn't anyone before I was Jack Frost.

Tooth

[puzzled]

Well, of course you were. We were all someone before we were chosen.

Jack

[shocked]

What?

North

[chuckling]

You should have seen Bunny. Ha ha!

Bunny

Hey, I told you never to mention that!

Jack

That night at the pond, I just-- I-I assumed... So you're saying, I had a life before that, with... with a home, and... and a family?!

Tooth

[surprised]

You really don't remember?

Jack

All these years, the answers were right here. If I find my memories, then I'll know why I'm here. You have to show me!

Tooth

I-I can't Jack. Pitch has them.

Jack

[stops for a moment]

Then we have to get them back!

Tooth

[notices her feathers falling off her body, then gasps]

Oh no! The children. We're too late.

North

No! No! No such thing as "too late"! Hmm. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. wait. [points his sword at Bunny] Idea! Ha! We will collect the teeth!

Tooth

What?!

North

We collect teeth, children keep believing in you!

Tooth

We're talking 7 continents, millions of kids--!

North

Give me break. You know how many toys I deliver in one night?

Bunny

[steps up]

And eggs I hide in one day?

North

And Jack, if you help we will get you your memories.

Jack

[after a moment's contemplation]

I'm in!
