-Lauren
Goblin: Mr. Potter, do you know why the goblins work at Gringotts?
Harry: *Matter-of-factly* Because you’re bitter ol’ pointy nosed elves with no life and no girls?

Goblin: You are in luck, Mr. Potter, we’ve had a last-minute fatal – Er, cancellation.

Harry: Just what we’ve wanted. *Hagrid nods enthusiastically* We’ll take it.
Goblin: Very well, sir. Sign here, please.
Harry: *Signs the form*
Goblin: Excellent. We’ll send someone for your luggage; Griphook will now show you to your room. *They leave* Hehe. Ever since Lord Voldemort took over Britain, Gringotts Secret Shelter Resort and Spa has been reliving its old glories! *Greedy expression*
-The Duke of Waltham
Goblin: And… does Mr. Harry Potter have his key?!
Hagrid: Er… wait.. *reaches in coat* Professor Dumbledore said ter give yeh these. *Pulls out coconuts*

Hagrid: Found’em, I s’pose…
Goblin: Found them?! In Europe? The coconut’s tropical!
Hagrid: What do you mean?
Goblin: Well, this is a temperate zone.
Harry: But the swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climates in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land?
Goblin: Well pardon me, Mr. Harry Potter, but are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
Harry: …
Hagrid: …Are yeh?
Harry: Forget it. Let’s go…
