"In the daytime, I'm Marinette, just a normal girl with a normal life. But there's something about me that no one knows yet, 'cause I have a secret."

The Bubbler
"But adults keep children safe and protected. They care for their kids, they love them!"

"Should we see if you land on your feet this time?"

Mr. Pigeon
"Derby hat, derby hat, derby hat, derby hat...! I don’t have any derby hat designs. I’ve got top hats, caps, even two-horned hats! Need a beret? I’m your girl. A sombrero? No problem-o. But a derby?!"

"Geez, it’s hard to be creative under pressure."

"Hmm, a cake derby hat. Stylish and tasty."

"What? What did you expect me to say? 'Hey, hot stuff, this is Marinette. I'd ask you on a date to a movie, but I've got such a crazy crush on you that the only way I can talk to you without foaming at the mouth is over this stupid phone.' Pretty ridiculous, right?"

"It's Adrien! He's looking for his phone! What if he tracks it? He'll figure out I stole it, I'll be arrested for grand theft, I'll spend the rest of my life in jail, and worse, I'll never get to go to the movies with Adrien!"

"Sorry, but liars are losers. Cat Noir may annoy me to pieces, but he's never lied to me."

The Pharaoh
"I told you from day one, Tikki. I'm a total klutz!"

Lady Wifi
"It's Marinette, leave a message. Beep! He he!"

"Ladybug saved Paris from destruction once again, but who's gonna save Marinette from her homework?"

"Nope! I'm gonna have to save my best friend!"

"And besides, who would believe that [Chloé's] the original Ladybug? She's obviously just a die-hard fan. A copycat?"

"Nobody must know who we really are. Not even us"

"Sometimes your heart tells you one thing, but a great superhero always listens to her head."

The Evillustrator
"Sabrina, Chloé's totally taking advantage of you. You don't have to do what she says. That's not how a real best friend acts!"

"Fewer puns, more action!"

"Sorry, Tikki... Chloé! She just...fires up this little red bug!"

"I'm thinking poor Nathaniel's got a crush on me. And his alter ego, the Evillustrator's gonna get crushed by Ladybug!"

"Come on! Seriously? Why is everybody comparing me to Chloé tonight?"

"No cat dragged me anywhere, Cat Noir. I flew in all on my own."

"[Adrien] touched my shoulder... I'll never wash my jacket again!"

Rogercop
"I was only trying to defend myself! My dad's right. I ended up accusing everyone in the process. Through this, Tikki, I don't think any of us took it."

"Listen! You're Sabrina's dad, and a good cop! Don't let the evil person who gave you these powers make an evil cop out of you!"

Dark Cupid
"I'm no good at this love letter writing thing... I sound like a total dorkasaurus!"

"I hate to burst your bubble, but hate doesn't conquer all. Love does!"

"We're about to turn into pumpkins, and personally, I'd rather not see that."

"I realized that even with all this hate everywhere, love still wins. But if I wanna win over Adrien, he needs to know the truth about how I feel."

"I don't know! The ladybug came along while I was writing, then you were yapping about your blog, and then... It's all a blur!"

Horrificator
"Hey, hey! Everyone chill out! You're right, Chloé is lame. But fighting isn't gonna bring Mylène back. I'm the producer, and I'm gonna do everything in my power to finish filming tonight!"

"Adrien and Chloé kissing cannot happen! No way!"

"Looks like it's time to bring in the alter ego..."

"Stay together, right behind us! You too, Spielberg!"

Darkblade
"Do you realize that you're all being bribed? Concert tickets are awesome, but they aren't gonna solve classroom problems."

"I just wanna be voted in fairly, not because you don't wanna vote for Chloé, but because you believe in me! I'm not gonna make promises that I can't keep, and I'm not gonna be able to get you everything that you want. But I am resourceful and I know how to prioritize. I'm a good listener and a great multi-tasker. Representing you all is something I truly believe in. And most importantly, I believe in myself. So... vote for Marinette, for class representative!"

The Mime
"Apparently, not seeing is believing."

"Cat Noir, you're good at annoying people. Do your thing!"

"Speaking of calling, there's something I gotta tell you, Alya. I...accidentally erased your Ladybug video on your phone, and then, when I tried to fix the problem I dropped the phone in a dumpster and now it stinks like bad, like really, really bad, and I'm sorry, so, so, so sorry. I know how much that video meant to you and I'm the lamest of friends. Lamer than lame!"

Princess Fragrance
"No, Tikki. I'm not making the same mistake twice! We have to get you to the healer now!"

"Cat? Um, right. Rare hairless flying species from Kingdom of Achu. I was allowed to have one, because I won a zoo tap-dancing contest when I was in the Kingdom of Achu."

"I know, but I mean, Tikki, you're more than just my kwami for me."

Ladybug & Cat Noir (Origins - Part 1)
"Don't worry, I'm not a stranger to disasters."

"Ahh! Help! It's a giant bug! A mouse! A... a bug-mouse!"

"This must be a mistake! The only superpower I could possibly have is super-awkwardness..."

"Okay, I have special powers! ...And apparently, this amazing super yo-yo thingy?"

"So that means... this is all my fault? I knew it! See, Tikki? I'm not cut out to be a superhero! I'm only gonna keep messing up."

"I told you, I'm clumsy! I create disaster all the time! I'll only make things worse for me, for you, and for everyone. Cat Noir will be better off without me. I'm quitting."

Stoneheart (Origins - Part 2)
"Well, I'm still not sure I'm up for this, but Alya's in danger. I can't sit back and do nothing."

"Oh, you're quite the jokester, aren't you? But your comedic timing needs work."

"Nice try Hawk Moth, but we know who the bad guy is. Let's not reverse the roles here. Without you, none of these innocent victims would be transformed into villains. Hawk Moth, no matter how long it takes, we will find you, and you will hand us your Miraculous!"

"Let me make this promise to you. No matter who wants to harm you, Ladybug and Cat Noir will do everything in our power to keep you safe!"

"That's it! We don't separate Stoneheart and Mylene, we bring them closer together! They're made for one another! It's just they don't know it yet."

"Yeah... It's beautiful... and amazing... It's...um... Miraculous!"

"It means that I'm not putting up with your cred anymore, Chloé, and neither is anyone else around here. So take your attitude and go on, get lost!"

Animan
"Oh, where are you, love of my life?"

Simon Says
"I guess being grounded comes with the territory of being a top secret superhero. Doesn't seem fair, though."

Pixelator
"This is either gonna be the most amazing pair or the ugliest pair of shades in shades history. Miss Bustier is grading me on effort, right?"

"Pixelator would never imagine his idol would actually want a day out at school. ...I mean, isn't school awesome?"

"Oh, this isn't creepy at all."

Guitar Villain
"Oh, why does Jagged Stone want to change his style? XY's music is so cold and lifeless, repetitive, mundane, the total opposite of Jagged. And what I've just done here is... ugh... is so not my style, either."

"I'm going to design Jagged Stone's next album my way, and no one else's!"

"Uh, talking bag! New technology! Import from Japan!"

"I can't feel my legs anymore. Hold me up! I'm gonna fall over! Is [Adrien] still around?"

Kung Food
"If we're not careful, we'll be the mashed potatoes!"

Gamer
"Dear diary, guess what? I was two spots away from transforming back and revealing my true identity to Cat Noir."

"And now, a Quarter-Super-Plus Heavy Kick, and Flying Hyper Storm! Triple head combo, Marinette style! Booyah!"

"Um, no no no, I... No, you're so good. I mean, I'm the one who's not good. I mean... I'm lucky, that's all."

"Don't get me wrong! I love gaming, but it's not my heart and soul. This is your baby. It's your tournament, Max. I don't wanna take that away from you."

Reflekta
"Sorry Cat Noir, but you—you just... you just don't look like yourself anymore! But uh... thank you!"

"You've not just lost your body, Cat Noir. I think you've lost your sense of humor, too!"

The Puppeteer
"Ladybug and Cat Noir always win, and the bad guys always lose."

"Puppeteer! Such a shame; it's really not nice to steal from your babysitter."

"Hahaha! I think you were better when you sounded like a five-year old girl!"

{{HideSpoiler|

Antibug
"I won't tell you again, Chloé, so listen up. You need to leave! You're putting yourself in great danger, and us, too. Got it?" "Cat Noir and I, we're an unstoppable team." "Cat Noir and I are a team. If you take me on, you take Cat Noir on, too. It's not my problem if you don't have any friends." "Did you see that? Chloé smiled nicely! Kinda. I think she's actually happy to have Sabrina back."

Volpina
"This is super bad! What if Adrien totally falls for her?! I've never flown in a private jet, nobody's ever written a song about me, and I don't know a single person in Hollywood! Adrien will forget I even exist!" "You'll see Ladybug isn't just a figment of your imagination, Volpina." "This book could've been my connection to Adrien without my Ladybug mask for once, but I get it. I'm not gonna be returning it to him."

Miraculous Secrets
"Every day I think about how lucky I am to live in Paris, and I'm even luckier to get to see all those places through Ladybug's eyes. No one knows the city like Cat Noir and I do. Even when we're on a mission, we can't help but stop for a minute and marvel at the magical city we live in."
