Quotes
-
Kowalski : [From the future] Skipper, you've got to stop me!
Skipper : [Kicks Kowalski in the face] There, you're stopped.
Kowalski : Not me me! That me!
[points to present Kowalski]
Kowalski : I've got to destroy the Chronotron!
Skipper : There's two of you! You are from the future! Tell me, has the Earth become a post-apocalyptic wasteland swarming with irradiated mutants?
Kowalski : Uh, no.
Skipper : [Disappointed] Oh.
-
Skipper : Problem solved. Now go invent something that won't destroy the world.
Private : Like a snow cone machine.
Rico : Snow cone!
Kowalski : Snow cone, eh?
[Cut to New York submerged in snow cone]
Skipper : Kowalski! You maniac! You did it! You finally did it!
Kowalski : Yes, but you've got to admit, these are great snow cones.
Skipper : Oh, yes. Definitely worth it.
-
Skipper : Kowalski, progress report.
Kowalski : Nearing completion on escape tunnel 15, Skipper.
Private : Isn't that being overly cautious?
Skipper : Even better. It's full-blown paranoia!
Kowalski : No, I mean, we already have 14 escape tunnels. Isn't that enough?
Skipper : Manfredi and Johnson thought so. What was left of them came back in a manila envelope.
Kowalski : From Manila, ironically.
Skipper : There's no such thing as "too paranoid", Private. Remember that and forget you ever heard it.
Private : Um, I don't think that works the way you think it...
Skipper : Eyes on the flippers.
-
Skipper : Okay, Kowalski, wow me.
Kowalski : Behold, a portal to times past. The Chronotron!
Skipper : So, it's a time machine?
Kowalski : Well, yes.
Skipper : So why not call it a time machine?
Kowalski : Sure, yeah. And while we're at it, let's call the Great Wall a fence, the Mona Lisa a doodle, and Albert Einstein Mr. Smartypants. Skipper, I don't think you're seing the big picture. With the Chronotron, we will be able to visit any period in history.
Skipper : Outstanding! Finally, those hippies can be stopped!
-
Skipper : What happened? I thought we mapped this tunnel.
Kowalski : I'm not sure. This wall shouldn't be...
[gasps]
Kowalski : a vintage pass code lock
Skipper : Excellent work, Kowalski. But can you open it?
Kowalski : Well, it is state of the art hyper encryption technology... from 1963. Nailed it
Skipper : Move in cautiously, men. Rico, ominous background music.
-
Skipper : That voice... That steely gaze.
Rockgut : You sugar puffs gonna stand there? Spill your tater tots. Where's the red squirrel?
Skipper : The red squirrel. Then you really are... Special agent Buck Rockgut.
Kowalski : The Buck Rockgut?
Private : Um, is that - is that some famous, then?
Private : Sweet ignorant Private, Buck Rockgut is our greatest american penguin hero. I've patterned my whole life after rotgut.
Kowalski : The bird who brought down penguin enemy number one: The red squirrel and may I say, it is honor, sir.
Rockgut : 86 the kiss-up, fauntleroy. let's get to brass tacks. I caught the squirrel, all right, but big red broke out, disappeared in the underground. so that's what I did too. 47 years I've been down in this bunker, waiting for the red squirrel to show his fluffy tail again. 47 years.
Rockgut : 47 years?
Rockgut : 47 years!
Private : Do you think the red squirrel would have shown up by now?
Skipper : Private.
Rockgut : College boy, huh? You see that bunker door? It only open when the red squirrel returns. Is it open now, dough boy?
Private : Yes.
Rockgut : Then red is back and you four lollipops are gonna help me find him.
