Predators and Prey

I've watched the Shrek quadrilogy more than I'd like to admit but I must ask:

How did a dragon human hybrid come to exist?
Sate my alcohol-induced curiosity and I shall award you a boop.
Wait, there’s FOUR

"I'd love to ride goombas", says the frog.
"I'd love to ride goombas," says the frog.
"I'd love to ride goombas" says the frog.

Which one is correct in American English? I'll assume second one

It would be interesting to see how British English works here too
I'd tend to go for the second one.

But punctuation is something that escapes my grasp at times.

I'm not a native English as ya know friendo, but I believe it'd be #1 or #3. :3

It looks more plausible to me

Guess when it arrived?

Many thanks, you beautifurs~

Also, @Fcomega121, I get where you come from. #1 is the norm in Brazilian Portuguese for this case, so that's what I would choose with my Brazilian brain. If I recall correctly, that was the structure I have used while taking the PT-EN translation test. However, the English language specialist that reviewed it made sure to point out how English punctuation norms were different from those for Portuguese, and while not having specified occurrences, they noticed mistakes in the placement of commas with quotation marks in my text.

I was aware that English tends to use periods, commas, question marks, exclamation marks, etc., inside quotation marks; but as in Portuguese, exceptions seem to exist. For instance, Gengo's Style Guide provides these examples as correct sentences:
  • Gandhi once said, “An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.”
  • Can you explain the quote, “An eye for an eye”?

It's #2. Which is weird, because logically it should be #1! What are you doing, American English!

Oh, snap- the rat knows the difference between American English and English English!
*Attempts to Engrish!!!!!*

*Fails because English has no consistently in its rules*

*Ich lerne Deutsch!*
Es ist einfach.

Also! BRIGADEIROS
The brigadeiro sighed as he squinted against the sunlight from under the brim of his black hat. The town of Pueblo de Nuestra Señora was quiet this early in the morning, which is to say not quite awake. The few people he could see were walking towards the church, their clothes and boots dirty from the muddy streets. He turned on his heels, and began making his way back down the hillside in the direction of his family's house. He was a tall man; around 6'0. He had dark brown hair, pulled into a long ponytail that trailed behind him. His skin was tan, and he wore a pair of brown leather gloves that fit snugly over his hands. His name was Pedro Castillo, but everyone called him Rio.
