Tom McGrath: Skipper

Quotes 

• Private : Skipper, I hope this isn't insubordination, but I'm going to wipe the ice with you.

  Skipper : I like your sass.

• Skipper : Commence adorable high-jinks now! Go, go go!

  Kowalski : Executing waddling with strange yet oddly-endearing body shakes.

  Private : Pretending to lose my balance and face-plant into the pool now.

  Skipper : I got belly sliding duty. Let's make it extra cute and cuddly today, boys.

• King Rat : Aw, gee, bird. You don't look happy to see us.

  Skipper : Well, we're not. So why don't you crawl back to that sewer you call a home?

  Rat #1 : Can't.

  Rat #2 : The pipes burst.

  King Rat : There's a little too much sewer in the sewer. So we ain't going nowhere.

  Kowalski : Uh, that's a double negative.

  Skipper : Better make it a triple. You're out of here.

• Skipper : How's the catch of the day, men?

  Private : Looks fishy, Skipper.

  Skipper : Fish are supposed to look fishy.

  Kowalski : No, I think he means "fishy".

  Skipper : Good "fishy" or bad "fishy"?

  Private : [Shows Skipper the fish-shaped soy cakes]  Definitely bad "fishy".

• Skipper : Well, that was... What's the word I'm looking for?

  Rico : Phbt!

  Skipper : Yeah, that's the one.

• Rico : [Weakly]  Fish... fish!

  Kowalski : 67 hours without the succulent, salty tang of the sea. He can't take much more.

  Skipper : Neither can I.

• Skipper : They're scoring again! Defense!

  King Julien : Uh-uh-uh. It must be a cheer.

  Skipper : [Cheering unenthusiastically]  De-fense. De-fense. King Julien needs to play defense. Rah.

  King Julien : Which fence? I see no fence.

• Skipper : I want confirmation that there is food in that truck.

  Private : [He and Rico are inside a K-9 unit truck]  Affirmative, but it looks like the food is us!

• Kowalski : This is Wienner One. Are we aborting mission? Repeat, are we aborting mission?

  Skipper : Gentlemen, we are penguins. We have a natural need to feed on the fruits of the sea. That's the way Mama Nature built us. Now who wants to spit in the eye of Mama Nature?

  [No one speaks] 

  Skipper : That's what I thought. We are go for operation!

• Skipper : Kowalski! speak to me, man!

  Kowalski : Just a knock on the old monkey bus.

  Skipper : Kowalski?

  Kowalski : No need to paint. I'm as flopsy-faced as ever.

  Skipper : I... don't think you're fit for duty.

  Kowalski : Flibbertigibbit, man! I'm as juxtaposed as the next hamburger.

• Skipper : It turns out the cheerleader is not that crucial to hockey.

  King Julien : So the game did not rest on my regal shoulders?

  Skipper : Well, no, but it does now. Ringtail, this whole game has come down to you.

  King Julien : Then I shall not be letting you down. I shall only be letting you up. Make way for King Julien, champion hockey... guy.

• Skipper : Kowalski, adorability readings.

  Kowalski : The readings show that the audience's adulation for our adorable antics is reaching optimum levels.

  Skipper : Then hit them with the tail wags. No mercy!

  [Penguins wag tails, audience aw] 

  Skipper : And cease tail wagging now! Always leave them wanting more.

• Maurice , Mort : Every time the penguins score, it's King Julien we adore!

  King Julien : Bring me on!

  Skipper : You're not supposed to cheer for yourself.

  King Julien : Oh, I'm not. They are.
