Minsc and Astarion
(By the Basilisk's Gate)
- Minsc: Ah, but it is a fine thing to walk with friends beneath the warming sun!
- Astarion: Friends' might be a stretch, but otherwise - yes, I fully agree!
- Minsc: You might have your cloudy locks to keep the heat off your head, but do not forget that Minsc has Boo! We will be like twins, eh?
- Astarion: We will? Gods - two hundred years and I've never missed seeing my reflection more.
(In Harborview Park)
- Minsc: Oh, I do not know, Boo. If you buried the nuts here before we were stone, I am thinking they might have gone bad.
- Astarion: Minsc! Enough! The hamster isn't saying a damn thing and you know it.
- Minsc: Well, Astarion. Boo is of good breeding, and so only speaks when he has something nice to say.
- Minsc: Perhaps this is why he has never seen fit to speak to you.
- Astarion: How delightfully vicious. I'm beginning to like the hamster.
(By the Eastern Docks)
- Minsc: ASTARION! FISH! ASTARION!
- Astarion: Minsc, please - slow down. Use your words.
- Minsc: Minsc has thought how you might be a more virtuous vampire - feast on fish instead. They are made of naught but neck!
- Astarion: It's a sweet thought, but fish just doesn't have the flavour of full-blooded red meat.
- Minsc: No, you do not 'agree', Boo. I told you you have been spending far too much time around the pale one...
(Ascendant Astarion)
- Minsc: Do not think your twinkly-eyed wiles will work on us, vampire lord.
- Astarion: Oh, I know I could never tempt you, but maybe your little friend would like to perch on a more elegant shoulder?
- Minsc: Do not look into his eyes, Boo! Think not of nesting in his thick and downy mane!
- Astarion: You'll never know unless you try. Just once? Maybe you'll like it.
(Spawn Astarion)
- Minsc: No, Boo. Astarion is a friend now - he would never bite you.
- Minsc: Yes, vampire?
- Astarion: Yes... I mean - no? I am not interested in biting the rodent is the point.
- Astarion: Not least because he lives in your trousers...
Minsc and Gale
(At Sorcerous Sundries)
- Minsc': Minsc has never trusted places such as this. Too much of a wizard's power can be simply packaged and picked up.
- Minsc: Well, picked up by all but Minsc. When he touches the many delicate little jars, oh how the wizards shout and stare!
- Gale: Fear not, Minsc. You have a wizard at your side who positively encourages such curiosity. You'll fit right in.
- Minsc: Obliged, wizard. Should we find our way to a weaponsmith, Minsc will rough you up a little - so that you too can fit in.
(In the Water Queen's House)
- Minsc: Umberlee - her clerics possess a nasty streak as wide as her oceans.
- Gale: So their reputation suggests - especially among the good folk of Waterdeep. I'm curious to learn how you fell foul of them...
- Minsc: 'Blasphemy', said the temple priestess. But Minsc says: do not give horns to your statues if you do not wish the visitors to try and make them toot.
- Gale: Yes, that would probably do it.
(At the House of Hope)
- Minsc: Gale! You will perhaps able to explain where Boo has not - what exactly is the difference between a devil and a demon?
- Gale: A fascinating question, one that boils down to which criteria we choose to apply. Are we speaking about the physiological? Theological? Etymological?
- Minsc: Eh. Just how-to-kill... -ical.
- Gale: Oh. Then for your purposes, they are exactly the same.
- Minsc: Gale. Minsc worries you might send a fireball up his butt, with all of this stringy hair in your face.
- Gale: Is that why you keep your head shaved? I assumed it was a custom of some sort.
- Minsc: Oh, no! Most warriors of Rashemen wear long battle-braids, weighed down with stone. Minsc can show you, when next we camp?
- Gale: Thank you, but I'm more wizard than warrior. I'm not sure my scalp would stand up to such a plaiting.

Minsc and Shadowheart
- Shadowheart: Hey Minsc, what was it like, being a statue?
- Minsc: Dark. Lonely. Helpless.
- Shadowheart: The dark is Shar's domain. You wouldn't have been lonely if you embraced her.
- Minsc: Evil! Never!
- Shadowheart: Hey Minsc, How do you judge what's evil?
- Minsc: Enough trick questions! Evil is clearly evil.
- Shadowheart: Am I evil? You called my goddess so.
- Minsc: If I decide you are evil, my blade will inform you of the fact.
- Minsc: Shadowheart. I saw you pluck Boo from the ground, when you thought no one was watching.
- Minsc: It pleases you, to hold him? And you have truly cleansed yourself of Shar?
- Shadowheart: I suppose you're right. On both counts.
- Minsc: HMMMMMMMM. Then for one day only, you may carry him in your pocket. So long as it is clean. Padded. Well-aired.
- Minsc: And full of nuts!
- Minsc: Boo will not permit himself to be held by you any longer, Shadowheart.
- Minsc: He fears you will sacrifice him in some Sharran ritual of dark oils and leather.
- Shadowheart: Oh, he's far too precious for that. I'll go find a comely barmaid or guardsman instead.

Minsc and Jaheira
(Entering Cazador's Palace)
- Minsc: If Minsc had any hairs on his head, this place would set them all a-standing. And look how Boo's bunches his hackles!
- Jaheira: We three have come through darker places than this together, Minsc.
- Jaheira: And hamsters don't have hackles.
- Minsc: Does Jaheira not set your heart at ease, Boo? It is comforting, to know that one so wise can be so wrong.
(In Bloomridge Park)
- Minsc: All of these statues - could they, too, be heroes all? Frozen in stone until the city has need of them?
- Jaheira: The Harpers keep records of those who fought for the city - I think I would recall mention of a bare-assed little cherub in all our story and song.
- Minsc: Well. Boo would also think you would have noticed when Minsc himself was frozen for over a century.
- Jaheira: ... do you know, I had forgotten just how catty your hamster can be.
(In The Blushing Mermaid)
- Minsc: Jaheira, Minsc's memory of his last time in this taproom is a little... fuzzy. Did he...?
- Jaheira: Fear not, Rashemaar. It has never been your way to over-indulge.
- Jaheira: But you did offend one of my contacts by letting Boo paddle around in her tankard. Pewter, I believe - she cracked it over your head.
- Minsc: Oh, praise the Three! Minsc was afraid he had shamed myself. I will, eh, leave a penny at the bar.
- Jaheira: Best leave two. I cracked her with my own, afterward. She was drinking grog - Boo's backside could only have improved it.
(Entering the Sewers)
- Minsc: AH! The smell of adventure, in the very heart of the city!
- Jaheira: The city's lower intestine, perhaps.
- Minsc: Better yet! What swifter way to strike at evil's butt than to crawl through its innards?
(In the Guildhall, before meeting Nine-Fingers Keene)
- Jaheira: If Nine-Fingers survived the fray, she will be right back to work in there. We ought to speak to her.
- Minsc: She has you in her thrall, Jaheira. Minsc will still her serpent tongue, before it has a chance to twine around your thoughts!
- Jaheira: That, she will definitely have something to say about.
