Quotes 

  • Uncle Monty : Now, the children will be helping us extensively with the research in Peru. Do you have any experience with children?

    Count Olaf : [in disguise as Stephano]  Children are strange and foreign to me. I never really was one. I do know that they are an important part of the ecosystem.

  • Uncle Monty : We can have time for chit-chat later. What I need now is the work of a reader, an inventor, and a biter.

    Sunny : [in baby talk]  My teeth are at your service, sir.

  • Uncle Monty : I was wondering if you wouldn't mind milking Petunia for me?

    Count Olaf : Petunia? Well- uh- yeah. Sure. I'll take a shot at that.

    [Grabbing for snake with stick, unsure] 

    Count Olaf : You know, they used to call me Old McDonald up at the milking lab. I used to milk these things all day long.

    [lifting snake] 

    Count Olaf : But the little udders- they're hard to locate.

  • Klaus Baudelaire : That's the Two-Headed Cobra!

    Uncle Monty : Well spotted!

    Violet Baudelaire : Is that a he or a she?

    Uncle Monty : I have no idea! I didn't think it polite to ask.

  • Uncle Monty : My chief assistant, Gustav, took sick and phoned not one hour ago.

    Count Olaf : [as Stephano]  He'd do anything to be here now.

    [cut to Gustav chained to the front of a speeding train and screaming] 

  • Violet Baudelaire : Uncle Monty, why are we going to Peru?

    Uncle Monty : Just this morning I was wondering, "How are we all going to get out of town together?" And I thought, "Peru." They have snakes in Peru, don't they?

    Violet Baudelaire : But why are we getting out of town?

    [Monty turns back to Violet, suddenly more paternal] 

    Uncle Monty : Violet, do you know snakes are more afraid of you than you are of them?

    [Violet shakes her head no] 

    Uncle Monty : Few people do. When threatened, a snake will retreat to a place that is quiet, safe, remote. A sanctuary. Where it can feel out of danger. That's why Peru.
