- Shenron: Why have you summoned me? Tell me your wish now.
- Oolong: Yes, uh, excuse me. Mr. Dragon, could you possibly destroy the Saiyans that are on their way to Earth right about now?
- Bulma: Hey, Oolong, that's not the wish! What about Goku, you little pig?
- Oolong: What? We could wish Goku back, but why not wish him back next time and have the dragon save the world now?
- Shenron: Your wish cannot be granted because the guardian of Earth created me. I cannot grant a wish that exceeds his power.
- King Kai: [sudden shock] Oh no!
- Goku: W... what? What's wrong?
- King Kai: I forgot to include in my calculations the time it's going to take you to get back to Earth on Snake Way!
- Goku: What? But King Kai, I thought that you were just going to zap me back to Earth! What? You gotta be kidding me, right? It took me nearly a year to get here, you know.
- King Kai: Yes, but um... uh... after your training you'll be much faster. You should be able to make it back on Snake Way within two days if you go all out.
- Goku: No! But that means I'll get there a day late! It'll all be over by then! I can't do that!
- King Kai: That's enough Goku! I'm not perfect, now am I? Even I make mistakes!
