Scout Master Ward : Skotak, what's all this lumber for?
Skotak : We're building a treehouse.
Scout Master Ward : Where?
Skotak : Right here.
[all look up at treehouse perched ridiculously high on a tall swaying tree]
Scout Master Ward : That's not a safe altitude. Why is it up so high? If someone falls from there, that's a guaranteed death.
Skotak : Well, where would you have built it?
Scout Master Ward : Lower.

Lazy-Eye : What's your real job, sir?
Scout Master Ward : I'm a math teacher.
Lazy-Eye : What grade?
Scout Master Ward : Eighth.
Lazy-Eye : Do you need a PhD for that?
Scout Master Ward : Lazy-Eye, no, but you know what? We're actually in the middle of something here, in case you didn't notice. One of our scouts is missing and that's a crisis. Anybody else? Redford.
Redford : What if he resists?
Scout Master Ward : Who?
Redford : Shakusky, are we allowed to use force on him?
Scout Master Ward : No, you're not. This is a non-violent rescue operation. Your mission is to find him, not to hurt him, under any circumstances. Am I making myself understood?
Scout Master Ward : I'm gonna change my answer, in fact. This is real my job. Scout Master, Troop 55. I'm a math teacher on the side.

Scout Master Ward : He left me a letter of resignation. Over.

Scout Master Ward : Roosevelt, how's that lanyard coming?
Roosevelt : Horrible.

Scout Master Ward : You have your orders. Use the orienteering and path-finding skills that you've been practicing all summer. Let's find our man, bring him safely back to camp. Remember, this isn't just a search party, it's a chance to do some first class Scouting.
