SkekOk: It is no concern of mine whether or not your family has... what was it again?

Farmer Gelfling: Umm... food?

SkekOk: Ha! You really should have thought of that before you became peasants!

Trial By Stone - Dark Crystal scene

I love how this movie tells story and histories by detail, look at the stone, its nicked, scratched, damaged, and worn down in some areas, the stone and this contest have been in use for some time, implying that the goal of the trial is not neccessarily to break the stone, but to hit it in a way that impresses the other Skeksis, and to keep doing so until all of them come around to one contestant or the other, thus its a contest of endurance, who can outlast the other and/or win over the crowd, and that also shows precisely why the general wins, by “shattering” the conventions of the ritual by breaking the stone, in doing so he not only proves himself stronger, but by destroying the central piece of the contest he makes it so there is no point in continuing

The OkLach brainrot returns and leaves once more.

SkekLi: BATHTUBS ARE JUST REVERSE BOATS!

SkekSa: Get away from me.

SkekOk: It must be nice to be rich instead of having to develop a personality.

SkekShod: Sssssshut up.

SkekOk: Buy my silence.

SkekTek: I'm playing a new drinking game. It's called "every time I'm depressed, take a drink."

SkekSa: That game already exists. It's called alcoholism.
