• Skipper : Kowalski, just what are we looking at here?

  Kowalski : Isn't it obvious?

  Private : Looks like a regular old fish to me.

  Kowalski : That's because it is.

  [Private turns to Rico, who shrugs "I don't know"] 

  Skipper : Fantastic. Uh, thanks for clearing that up, Kowalski. Meeting adjourned.

  Kowalski : No, wait! It's a regular fish now, but when I zap it with my super ray, it will be a super fish. When we eat the super fish, we will get stronger bones, denser muscle mass, and best of all, remarkably shiny feathers.

  Skipper : Aces, Kowalski! And here I thought you'd finally cracked.

  [to Rico] 

  Skipper : Keep an eye on him. I think he's finally cracked.

• Marlene : Here's a little something I try to keep close to my heart. Try to look for the best in people, because you'll always find it.

  Skipper : That's cute and naive, Marlene. Manfredi and Johnson were cute and naive - well, Manfredi was the cute one - 'till the little Nairobi surprise party.

• Skipper : Kowalski tell me you've got that antidote figured out.

  Kowalski : Yeah, I... got nothing. No matter what I do, the formula's molecular structure fails to achieve low-energy orbitals.

  Private : [tastes the antidote]  Hmm, tart. Have you tried adding sugar?

  Kowalski : Private, please. This is an intricate problem that requires that...

  [gasps in realization] 

  Kowalski : Sugar! Of course! That's the answer! The monosaccaride will stablelize the entire solution!

  Skipper : [high-ones Private]  Good work, Private.

  Private : Yes, well, I thought it needed the monostereo... thing.

• Skipper : Stay alert, men. We might not be dealing with 115.384 otters at all. We could be dealing with one enormous mutated 1,500-pound otter.

  Kowalski : Or we could be dealing with six fairly large, semi-mutated 250-pound otters.

  Private : Or 1,500 tiny one-pound otters. Right, Skipper?

  Skipper : I like where your head's at, Private.

  Marlene : Yeah, it's so not an otter.

  Skipper : Is it because of how horribly mutated it is?

  Marlene : What? No! Because it's a walrus.

  Kowalski : For the record, is this walrus mutated in any way?

• Skipper : What you lemurs do with your feet is your own business. But when you terrorize the entire zoo, it becomes ours.

  Private : Um, Skipper, seeing as we turned Mort into the threat, isn't it already our problem?

  Skipper : Not now, Private.

• Skipper : Kowalski, options.

  Kowalski : Only one, Skipper. Close your eyes so you don't see it coming.

• Skipper : Well, I guess she wasn't a spy after all.

  Kowalski : Marlene, have you seen my invention anywhere?

  Marlene : It's right over... that is it was... lying right over... there?

  [Cut to Rhonda in the crate, holding Kowalski's invention and speaking into a walkie-talkie] 

  Rhonda : [British accent]  This is Agent 12 calling Dr. Blowhole with a priority one coded alert. Take me out to the ball game. Repeat, take me out to the ball game. Agent 12 out.

• Skipper : As far as you're concerned, I am nobody.

• Skipper : What the deuce?

• Skipper : Tell me you've got that antidote figured out.

  Kowalski : Got nothing. No matter what I do, the formula's molecular structure fails to achieve low-energy orbitals.

  Private : [Tastes the liquid]  Tart. Have you tried adding sugar?

  Kowalski : Please. This is an intricate problem that requires that... Sugar! Of course. That's the answer. The monosaccharide will stabilize the entire solution.

  Skipper : Good job, Private.

  Private : Well, I thought it needed the monostereo... thing.

  Kowalski : Eureka! This will do the trick.
