Opening
Fun fact! The later the act, the shorter the wait before the scene starts. First time: 260 frames, ACT 2: 120 frames, ACT 3: 60 frames, ACT 4: no wait! Pretty cool.
The group come to a stop before the King, standing side by side opposite him.

"..."
King Ah...... ah......
King Oh...... Young ones......
Are you...... here to kill me......?Mirabelle (serious1) ...
King Oh...... Young lady......
You stand for Change Themselves, do you not......?King ...I...
King I... I just want the world to stay the way it is now......
To be frozen in eternal beauty.......King A world of everlasting peace and rest.
King Young housemaiden......
In a way... Isn't my wish a form of Change?
Why aren't you on my side......?Mirabelle (serious3) ...
King Ah......
Can't you feel it, young lady......?King The Universe yearns for everyone's hopes to be encased in limitless ice......
King Won't you allow your fate to be ended......?
Mirabelle (serious2) Corrupting and ending people's lives? You call this a form of Change?
Mirabelle (serious5) You DARE compare your dreams of ice and stillness to Change themselves?!
Mirabelle (serious4) This is NOT true Change! This is just you, acting as a god would, for your own satisfaction!
Odile (serious2) One would think keeping a whole country from changing and evolving is the farthest thing away from change.
Bonnie (no!1) P-Pretty self explanatory, stupid!!!
Isabeau (really3) Seems like a pretty pathetic way to appeal to a Housemaiden's good nature, huh?
Mirabelle (serious2) Is this what you want, then? For us to peacefully let ourselves be frozen in time?
Mirabelle (serious3) I will never be on your side, King.
Mirabelle (fight1) Not in a million years!!!
King Oh......
King Ha...... Spoken like a true Housemaiden of Change......
King But......

Available after dying to the King thrice or more: "Let's just get right to it."

Isabeau (yeah!1) Aw, and I had a whole speech prepared too!
Odile (fight1) Get ready, everyone.
King Wait.
King ......
King You. Traveler.
Odile (doubt1) ...?
(Odile looks at you with an expression screaming "does he mean you or me?")
- First time: (You shrug.)
- Subsequent times: (You look back at the King.)
King Bright one.
- First time: (Ah, so he means you.)
King ......Do you remember?
- First time: (Remember...?)
- First time: Siffrin (surprised1)
- Subsequent times: Siffrin (hide1)

King Oh...... Oh, oh......!!!
King ......It seems you do not.
-

King ......Haha......
King HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
King No...... That is not how it works, does it?

King But...... What else does?

(The King looks at you, and sobs.)
King Oooooh, oooooooh......

Dialogue continues.
King Oh...... Oh.......
King
Despite what you may think......
I am......
A merciful King.
King I will give you some time to come to terms with your end......
King
A most beautiful end......
An eternal end......
Isabeau (hahaaa1) Wow, he's really taking us for chumps, isn't he...?
Mirabelle (fight1) We've gotten this far! We will not back down!!!
Odile (fight1) Get ready, everyone!
At the start of Kingquest
Your first time fighting him in ACT 3.
(The King...)
(You finally managed to beat him last time, but you still have so many questions...)
(Why is he freezing Vaugarde in time? Does his power have anything to do with the time loops you're stuck in?)
(If you ask him something... Will he answer...?)
[Urgh, fine.]
[You can now "Ask" the King questions by going into your Craft menu!]
[The things I let you do, stardust, I swear.]
During Kingquest
(You still have questions for the King.)
The King's Special Attack
The King's First Turn
(The King waits...)
The King's Second Turn
King Ooh, ooooooh......
King It is time, saviors.
(You see a vision of the future...)
If you don't have Adorable Moving Shield up, you die instantly. Any party member who doesn't is K.O.'d instantly. Before the 1.0.4 patch, you'd get a game over if Siffrin died, regardless if another party member survived.
If you survived
Mirabelle (sad1) Ngh...!!!
Odile (urgh1) W-We survived it...
Isabeau (fight1) Everyone okay?!?
King Oh...... Oooooooh...... You're still here......
King Good. Let us fight to the death, then.

Why......
Why won't you understand......
Why won't you understand!!!
Isabeau (angry1) Crying still, huh...
Isabeau (disappointed1) Glad you're expressing your emotions and everything, very healthy, but learn to read the room.
Bonnie (ew1) Stop crying...
Bonnie (angry1) Stop crying!!! JUST STOP CRYING!!! YOU CAN'T!!!
Bonnie (no!1) You hurt so many people!!! People who won't ever move again unless we beat you!!!

King
But don't you see it?
Don't you want it?
This perfect ending?
King
Right now...
You are fighting me, a being close to divinity.
King The Universe Itself follows my will.
King
And yet......
You are all facing me, without fear.
King
You're all so powerful......
So united......
King And...... I can see it.
King
Oooooh......

So wholeheartedly......
King Happy.
- First time: (What...?)
- ACT 4: (...!!!)
Isabeau (huhwah1) Huh-?
Bonnie (no!1) WHAT?!?
Mirabelle (no!2) ...!!! What are you--
Odile (serious2) What kind of stupid--
King Ah, aaaaaaaah, and that's why you should all understand!!!
King
Even now, don't you agree?
Don't you want it?!
King Look at you all!!! You're all so powerful!!!
King
You all managed to get this far!!!
Don't you want to be immortalized right now?
As winners?!

10% HP Dialogue
During Kingquest
Only if you have a question to ask and didn't ask anything for the entire battle.
(You did it...!!!)
(The King... You've beaten him again, but you haven't asked him anything!!!)
(Quickly, before he dies...)
You then get the chance to ask him questions.
(...)
(Alright. Time for the King's end.)
ACT 3+
(...Zone out for this part?)
-
(Yes.)
- ACT 3: (YOU HAVE HEARD THIS BEFORE.)
- ACT 4: (Soon, the curtains will close.)
Bonnie (serious1) Bonnie (no!1): --just a dumb baby idiot who froze the country in time for dumb baby idiot reasons!!!!!!
Skip to Fight End.
-
(No...)
(Concentrate.)
Dialogue continues.
King Ah......!!!
King N-no...... This can't--!
Fourth time onward:
- ACT 2: (Mirabelle's speech washes over you.)
- ACT 3 & 4: (Mirabelle's dialogue washes over you.)
Note: Since this is the fight's ending, it can't actually be replayed in ACT 2... since defeating the King for the first time and getting to the End is what boots you to ACT 3.
Mirabelle (sad2) King... I don't...
Mirabelle (serious1) I do not want time to stop now.
Mirabelle (serious1) I don't want eternity.
Mirabelle (fight1) I don't want to be stuck here, in what you deem a "perfect moment"!!!
King
Ooooh......
But...... Do you truly think your life will get more extraordinary than this?
King Do you truly think you will become more powerful, more fulfilled than you are right now? Fighting me?
Mirabelle (serious4) ...Do I think something will fulfill me more than fighting you to save my country?
Mirabelle (fight1) YES! OF COURSE IT WILL!!!
Isabeau (disappointed1) ...!
Bonnie (sad1) ...!
Odile (lol1) Heh.
Mirabelle (serious4) "Life will never get better than this, so you should give up now"?
Mirabelle (angy1) GIVE ME A BREAK!!!
Mirabelle (fight1) The eternity you wish for... I want no part of it!!!
Mirabelle (fight1) WE WANT NO PART OF IT!!! WE WILL NOT GIVE IN!!!
Mirabelle (serious5) Because your eternity means the end of change!!!
Mirabelle (stressed1) And I believe in change, King! I believe in a life that goes on!!!
Mirabelle (fight1) Things CANNOT stay the same! They can't! They won't!!! Or we as humans cannot change for the better!
Mirabelle (fight1) So I will NEVER let you have your way!!!
Isabeau (hahaha2) Hahaha!
Isabeau (yeah!1) Yeah, what she said! Nice try, trying to manipulate us into being frozen!
Isabeau (fight1) But we won't listen to you.
Isabeau (yeah!1) This isn't the end of our story, King! Not by a long shot!!!
Odile (lol3) How egocentric to think fighting you is the highlight of our lives.
Odile (lol2) Believe it or not, beating you isn't even worth writing on my resume.
Bonnie (no!1) Saying all those things to push us into being frozen... You're the worst, King!!!
Bonnie (angry1) You're nothing!!! You're not even a King, you're no one! No one!!!
Bonnie (no!1) You're just a dumb baby idiot who froze the country in time for dumb baby idiot reasons!!!!!!
