Penny : We - Hi. Where'd you come from?
Bernard : We found the bottle with-with your message, and we've come to rescue you.
Penny : Did you hear that, Teddy? Our bottle worked!
[looks confused]
Penny : Didn't you bring somebody big with you? Like the police?
Bernard : Uh, no. There's just, uh - the two of us.
Miss Bianca : But if the three of us work together and we have a little faith...
Penny : That's what Rufus said: "Faith makes things turn out right."

[passing through the zoo, Bernard is scared by a lion's roar]
Miss Bianca : What did you do to make him so mad?
Bernard : Nothing, he's just a... just a grumpy old lion.
Miss Bianca : Well, after all, waking him up in the middle of the night. Wouldn't you be grumpy too?
-
[inside the cave, gurgling sounds are heard from a large hole]
Bernard : What-wh-wh-what was that?
Penny : That's where the water comes in. Oooh, I'm afraid to go over there.
Bernard : Well, if I were a pirate, that's just where I'd hide the Devil's Eye. Eh, I'll go over and- check it out.
[as Bernard approaches the hole, a loud gurgling sound emanates from it; he starts to back away]
Bernard : Come-
[clears throat]
Bernard : come to think of it, If I was a pirate, I wouldn't, I wouldn't hide anything back there.

Bernard : [reading a pamphlet] Listen to this - it says here, 'Devil's Bayou is uncharted and hazardous. Each day's operations... '
Miss Bianca : [sleepy] Mmm, interesting.
Bernard : '... must be-'
Miss Bianca : Good night, dear.
[falls asleep on his shoulder]
Bernard : '... planned with care and... '
[he puts his arm around her]
Bernard : Good night, Bianca.

Miss Bianca : [watching Orville fly] Doesn't he fly beautifully? And you wanted to take the train, you fraidy cat.
Bernard : Fraidy cat? No, uh... it's just that I like trains. I mean, they serve Roquefort, and...
[Orville flies in too low]
Bernard : [gasp] Pull up, pull up!
-
[after escaping Medusa and Snoops]
Bernard : Are you- Are you all right, dear?
Miss Bianca : Why, she- she tried to kill us. That, that, that terrible woman! Oh, if I was only a ten-foot mouse, I'd show her.
-
[repeated line]
Bernard : Sure wish we'd taken the train!
-
Miss Bianca : Captain, you fly beautifully. It's just like being on a "roller scoater".
Bernard : He just went through a red light.
Miss Bianca : I do that all the time, darling. Now come on, stop worrying.
-
Bernard : [about the seat belts] Miss Bianca, make sure it's fastened good and tight.
Miss Bianca : I can't. It'll wrinkle my dress.
-
Bernard : [Bernard sees their flight should have left already] Flight leaves... 6:45. Oh, no. We missed the flight. Miss Bianca, if you hadn't...
Miss Bianca : Oh, come on. You worry too much. You know that flights are always late.
Orville : [Through radio communication] Albatross flight 13 to tower. Albatross 13
Miss Bianca : Now, what did I tell you? We're lucky, Mr. Bernard.
Bernard : Luck? Flight 13? Maybe we'd better take the train.
Orville : [Through radio] Wake up! Dab-drat it, somebody answer down there! Get off the dime! Hello? Hello? Is anybody down there?
Bernard : [answering] Uh, he-hello?
Orville : [Through radio] Where the tuck have you been? Oh, you lazy knucklehead.
Bernard : Well, we just got here, sir. You see, my co-agent insisted on packing her, uh...
Orville : Look, bud. Am I clear to land? Traffic up here is thicker than- Wow! Dab-blast, you dirty road-hog! You crazy- Look. What is- You stupid lug-headed...
Miss Bianca : Uh, oh, what did he say, Mr. Bernard?
Bernard : I wouldn't dare repeat it.
Miss Bianca : Well, then give him the permission to land.
Bernard : Uh, Captain? You, uh, you have our permission to land.
Orville : Well, it's about time, bud!
-
Miss Bianca : Well, why don't we take the shortcut through the zoo?
Bernard : I don't know... I mean it... could be risky.
Miss Bianca : Oh, come on. Remember our pledge? "Through storm and rain and dark of night - "
Bernard : [takes off his hat; water pools in it] "Never fail to do what's right." All right...
[flings the cap back on his head]
Bernard : Duty calls.
-
Orville : Say, bud, read the checklist to me.
Bernard : Uh, oh, yeah. "Goggles down."
Orville : [Adjusting goggles] Check.
Bernard : "Wing flaps down."
Orville : [Adjusting wings] Check.
Bernard : "Tail feathers."
Orville : [shaking tail] Double check.
Bernard : "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again."
[looks apprehensive]
Orville : And here we go!
-
Bernard : It's - It's no use, Bianca. Maybe Rufus the cat was right. Wh-what can two little mice do?
Mice : [singing in the background as a flashback] R-E-S... Rescue Aid Society, heads held high, touch the sky, you mean everything to me...
Miss Bianca : But, Bernard, the Society's counting on us. We can't quit now. Oh, and that little girl. We just have to rescue her.
Mice : [singing continues] R-E-S-C-U-E Rescue Aid Society, heads held high, touch the sky, you mean everything to me...
-
Miss Bianca : Oh, look! The little girl's treasures!
Bernard : Boy, the things kids collect.
-
Penny : [working out a plan to trap the crocodiles, Nero and Brutus] See there? The elevator.
Miss Bianca : Oh, it's a perfect cage, Penny.
Bernard : Great idea. Now, uh, what - what can we use for bait?
Penny : Oh, they'll eat anything.
-
Penny : [doing an impression of Medusa] Brutus! Nero! Did you let that little brat escape again? You're too soft.
[swinging a broom]
Penny : Wap! Wap!
Bernard : [chuckles] Hey, Penny, that's not bad.
Miss Bianca : [laughs] That's exactly like Medusa.
Penny : [walks like Medusa and imitates her again] Track her down, boys. Bring her back.
-
Rufus : Mice!
Bernard , Miss Bianca : Cat!
Rufus : Now, look here, you two. If anyone found out that mice have moved in, I'd get kicked out, lose my job.
Miss Bianca : Oh, don't worry, Mr. Cat, we- we won't be here long.
Rufus : [while stretching his legs] Wh- I- I'm too old to be chasing mice.
-
Bernard : [as he, Bianca, Penny, and the swamp denizens escape successfully from the riverboat via the swampmobile] We did it, Bianca!
Miss Bianca : Hooray! Oh, Bernard, Bernard, you're wonderful!
[chuckles as she and Bernard embrace; the others cheer happily as the swampmobile drives away into the distance]
Madame Medusa : [lamenting, as she is left clinging to one of the riverboat's smokestacks] There... goes... my diamond!
-
Bernard : [Climbing the steps to board Orville] ... eleven, twelve... Oh no. There... there are thirteen steps on this ramp.
Miss Bianca : [chuckles] Why don't you jump the last one?
-
Miss Bianca : Oh, dear! We've lost them!
Bernard : [sees the crocodiles and Penny coming towards the them and the boat] Jehoshaphat!
[tries to keep the boat steady from the hard waves]
Bernard : Hang on! H-hard to port, Evinrude!
