Rufus : Faith is a bluebird, we see from far. It's for real and as sure as the first evening star, you can't touch it, or buy it, or wrap it up tight, but it's there just the same, making things turn out right.
Penny : Can't touch it, or buy it, or wrap it up tight, but it's there just the same, making things turn out right. But whoever adopts me has to adopt Teddy, too.
Rufus : Oh, they'll love him! He doesn't eat much, does he?
-
Penny : [praying] Please bless Rufus, and Teddy... And all the kids at the orphanage: Jennifer, Bobby, Mary, Julie. And please let someone find my bottle. There's a message in it. Because running away isn't working. Amen.
-
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."

[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.

TV Announcer : Penny, you were a brave little girl to do what you did all by yourself.
Penny : Oh, I didn't do it all by myself. Two little mice, from the Rescue Aid Society, helped me.
TV Announcer : Mice? Rescue Aid Society?
Penny : Yes! They rescued me.
[whispering]
Penny : Um, could I say hello to them?
[waves to the camera]
Penny : Hello, Bianca! Hi, Bernard!
TV Announcer : You can - talk to these little mice?
Penny : All the time. Mice can talk like anybody. Didn't you know that?
TV Announcer : [as the watching R.A.S. laughs] Well... I didn't. But I do now, Penny.
-
Penny : Oh, here. I brought you something.
Rufus : Land O Goshen! Cat-nip snaps.
Penny : [giggles] No, they're ginger snaps.
Rufus : Well, an old codger like me could use a little ginger.
Penny : I taked two extra ones for lunch today. We're not s'posed to do that.
Rufus : You can trust me. I won't tattletale on you.
Penny : I love you, Rufus.
-
Penny : [as she starts to sniffle, then cry] Don't worry, teddy, we'll-we'll be... alright.

Madame Medusa : [Madame Medusa calls Penny into her bedroom sweetly] Come in! Come in!
Penny : [Penny walks in holding her teddy bear] Did you wanna see me, ma'am?
Madame Medusa : Why, yes, my dear. Don't be so shy.
[chuckling]
Madame Medusa : Now, I'm going to let bygones be bygones. Do you know what would make Auntie Medusa very happy?
Penny : Yes, you want me to find that diamond.
Madame Medusa : That's right, dear.
Penny : But I've tried as hard as I could. Honest!
Madame Medusa : Of course, you have. But we must try harder, mustn't we?
Penny : Then, please, will you take me back to the orphanage... like you promised?
Madame Medusa : Penny, don't you like it here? A big, beautiful boat all to yourself?
Penny : But if I don't get back to the orphanage... I'll never get adopted.
Madame Medusa : Adopted? What makes you think anyone would want a homely little girl like you?
[Penny walks away in tears]

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.
-
Mr. Snoops : Welsher! Swindler! Chiseler!
Madame Medusa : [Pointing gun at Mr. Snoops and Penny] Shut up, Snoops! And don't move. If either of you try to follow me, you'll get BLASTED!
Penny : [walking towards Madame Medusa] You give me my teddy bear. You promised.
Madame Medusa : [Pushing Penny away with her foot and walking backwards] Teddy goes with me, my dear. I've become quite attached to him.
[laughs]

Rufus : What's wrong, Penny, honey?
Penny : Nothing.
Rufus : Come on now, come on. No secrets. You tell old Rufus, huh?
Penny : Well, it was adoption day at the orphanage.
Rufus : Well... what happened?
Penny : A man and lady came and looked at me, but they choosed a little red-headed girl. She was prettier than me.
Rufus : Aw, sh-sh-she couldn't be! You listen to me, darling. You're something extra-special.
Penny : No I'm not.
Rufus : Why, some day a mama and a papa will come to the orphanage looking for a pretty lil' girl, just like you.
Penny : Honest?
Rufus : I'll bet my whiskers on it.
-
Penny : The water's coming in. Please pull me up!
Madame Medusa : Not until you get the diamond!
-
Penny : [Repeated line; whenever Brutus holds her upside down by her underwear] Put me down, Brutus.
-
Penny : Why did you have to go and spoil everything? Nero, don't you dare get my teddy bear wet.
