- Endymion: Princess Serenity.
- Serenity: Endymion, you shouldn't have come. It's far too dangerous.
- Endymion: I had to say goodbye.
- Serenity: It's all over.
- Endymion: This is not the end. Whatever happens in battle... we'll always be together.
- Serenity: I wish I could believe that.
- Endymion: Look, there may come a time when the guardians can't protect you... and I may not survive the night.

- Endymion: Listen! Promise me you'll never give up! That you will always fight!
- Serenity: Me? But I can't, I'm not strong enough!
