• Skipper : All right then, just this once, I'll fudge the entire incident from my report.

  [turns on recording machine] 

  Skipper : Skipper's log. The crew is performing spectacularly, and not at all like a bunch of nancy cats.

• Skipper : Don't tell me you're all afraid of a little fish.

  Kowalski : Not just any fish, Skipper. The snakehead trout. It's an invasive species that devours everything in its path, leaving nothing but despair and tragedy in its wake.

  [Private, Rico and Kowalski look at picture of trout and run away screaming] 

  Skipper : It's... a... fish! We... eat... fish!

  Kowalski : Yes! But this unholy beast flips the very order of nature.

  Private : It's as if our dinner is having us for dinner!

• Skipper : Steady, men. On my mark, prepare to...

  Kowalski : Fire everything!

  [the penguins fire all the weapons on the ship] 

  Skipper : Did I say fire all weapons?

  Kowalski : No, but I could see where you were going with it.

• Private : Teeth! So many sharp, jagged teeth!

  Kowalski : It was those black, soulless eyes that got me.

  Skipper : Rico, get a load of these two yellow bellies.

  Rico : [cowering behind a block]  Yeah! Yellow bellies. He-he.

  Skipper : Don't tell me you're afraid too.

  Rico : Uh-huh!

• Marlene : [the penguins are watching TV; Marlene steps in front of it]  Guys, there's a rumor going around that they're closing down the zoo, permanently!

  Private : Doesn't that otter on TV look just like Marlene?

  [Kowalski and Rico mumble in agreement] 

  Skipper : Nah. Marlene has a giant, misshapen...

  [Marlene turns off TV] 

  Skipper : Marlene! How did you get in here?

• Skipper : Silly ducks. Birds eat fish, not the other way around.

• Kowalski : I have an idea, but I'm not sure how safe it is.

  Skipper : I like it already.

• Mason : [pulls out camcorder]  Phil and I recently liberated this from Lost and Found.

  Skipper : Video! I like where your head's at, simian. Simple blackmail.

  Mason : Actually, I just thought we could make a commercial to show off some of the animals at the zoo.

  Marlene : And then what? We climb a giant space ladder, hook it up to a satellite and broadcast the commerical all over the city?

  Kowalski : Marlene, that's brilliant! You may have a future in science.

  Marlene : Oh, really... You think?

  Kowalski : I'ts so obvious. Why didn't I think of it? Skipper, do you mind?
