Jason quotes from 3-2-1 Penguins!

Like the Good Book says, Those who have knowledge use words with restraint, and those who are understanding are even tempered. Now that means the more you know, the less you get angry. And that's good. Anger just makes you lose control and he end up accusing others wrongly.

Jason

He talks like Grandmum.

Well, until next time, cadets!

Midgel

G'bye, mates!

Goodbye!

Michelle

Oh, no, what happened?

Jason

What happened?! Can't you see? The thing's broken!

Michelle

How?

[examines the gum] Hmm… Corn syrup, soy lecithin, and titanium dioxide, if I'm not very much mistaken. A construct otherwise known as…

Jason

Hubby chubby bubble gum! Oh, no! [angrily points to Michelle] It was you! You must have spit it out when the galeezle pulled us in!

Michelle

I wasn't the only one with hubby chubby! You were chewing it too!

Jason

I swallowed mine!

Michelle

Well, I didn't do it! You must have done it!

Jason

I didn't do it! You did!

Michelle

No, you did!

Ah, ah! Temper, temper. Here we go, accusing each other again! Remember what old Sol told us: not smart without all the facts.

Jason

Well, the fact is we aren't going to be able to get back to Grandmum's and it's all Michelle's fault!

Michelle

Can you fix it, Fidgel?

Well, um…it's not…Well, I can try.

Jason

"Try?!" Oh, no! We're going to stay this size? I'm only as big as my little finger!

Michelle

Can you make it work again?

[pulls out a small, burned out device covered in gum] This is what makes it work. The metric magnetic matter disperser. The only one in existence as far as I know! Without this, the galeezle is useless! I fear the bubble gum has burnt it out.

Jason, Michelle, would you like a sandwich?

Jason

[disappointed about not getting back to Grandmum's cottage] No. I just want Grandmum's cocoa.

Michelle

I thought you weren't talking to me.

Jason

I wasn't talking to you, you galeezle breaker!

Michelle

I didn't break it. You did! Your gum must've come out when you were screaming like a baby.

Jason

[infuriated] Screaming like a baby?!

Michelle

Yes, you always scream like a baby when galeezled into the ship!

[enters the main room after taking a shower with his hair all droopy; angrily accusing Kevin] KEVIN! YOU'VE BEEN INTO MY SHAMPOO AGAIN!

Midgel

Calm down, captain.

Calm down? Calm down?! [to Kevin] Listen to me! "Ridiculous proportions shampoo" is shampoo! Do you hear me? Shampoo! But you always use it as a body wash! A body wash! Do you know how much body you have to wash?!

Midgel

Now, wait just a minute, captain. Didn't you say earlier that we shouldn't be too quick to accuse each other? [gasps in shock when he sees his Boomerangutan poster on the table; accusing Fidgel in outrage] Doc! Doc! What have you done to my poster?!

I-I just needed something to protect the table.

Midgel

[frustrated] Do you know how much this is worth?! It was from the last tour of the Boomerangutans!

[retorting] Well, if you wouldn't leave your quarters in such a mess, how am I to know what's rare and what's rubbish?

Jason

Nice going, Michelle!

Michelle

What?! Now you're blaming me for this?!

Jason

We wouldn't even be here if you hadn't broken the galeezle!

Captain's blog, we're going on a picnic.

Michelle

So, what are we doing here?

Midgel

Had to stop off for some supplies, first. Soda pop, sandwiches, you know.

[as they enter] Don't forget the chocolate bars and marshmallows!

Jason

Oh, great! I love eating s'mores!

Eating? Oh, no, I need them for a new fuel experiment.

Midgel

Now don't take all day with your science project stuff, Doctor. We're here to get in, get supplies, and get out. No nonsense.

I assure you, my experiments are not nonsense.

Midgel

What about the time you tried to make glass invisible so you can see through it?

Well, it worked, didn't it?

Jason

What's wrong with being lazy?

Well, just think, if I didn't work around here, nobody would get served, dirty dishes would pile up. Pretty soon the whole place would stink!

Michelle

Like Jason's room!

[chuckles] Old Sol says, "The lazy person wants many things, but has nothing. But the person who is diligent and hardworking, truly has it all." You want to be diligent, right, kids?

Jason

Actually, the picnic sounds more fun.

[laughs] I'm sure it does. You just keep an eye on those ants, you hear?

Jason

We will. Is it just me, or is he weird?

[opens the storage bay, but it's all piled up with junk] Oh, dear me.

Midgel

What's got your knickers in a knot, doc?

Well, I'm scheduled to run a diagnostic test on the Harryhausen ray, but it's in the back of this storage bay, and I can't get to it.

Midgel

Harryhausen ray? What's that?

Oh, it's simply a device that halts movement on a molecular level.

Midgel

[not understanding] In the Queen's English, Fidge.

Yes. It stops action, freezes things in time and space.

Midgel

Classic. But it looks like you could use some help.

Oh, why thank you.

Midgel

If I see anyone available, I'll send 'em round.

[enters Jason's room, finding him laying lazily on his bed] Hello, Jason. I hear you're looking to earn some extra money for sea chimps?

Jason

Yeah!

Well, the storage bay is in a bit of a mess. What say I hire you to clean it?

Jason

Hire? You mean like a job? I'm kinda busy. Maybe later. Uh, doc? Turn the page for me. I can't reach.

Jason

[enters Michelle's room while following the smelling scent and spots a cupcake on the table, tries to eat it, but Michelle swipes it from him] Let me have a cupcake. I'll tell Grandmum you've learned your lesson when we get back.

Michelle

No. I made them, I say who gets one.

Jason

(Oh, I get it.) You won't give me one because you're still mad about play-ser tag.

Michelle

Yeah, it was no fair. I was sick of being it.

Jason

At least I shared with you.

Michelle

You gave me the broken one.

Jason

This one? It's a new invention. Fidgel even said it didn't work right. [turns on the device and a straight and spiral beam fires and goes around the room until it reaches him]

Michelle

No thanks, that thing is a play-ser tag magnet. Wherever I hid in the room, that beam would find me. I was it the whole time!

Jason

Fine, but it's not my fault it doesn't work. Keep your stale old cupcakes. [leaves the room in a huff]

Grandmum

Michelle, is this the way I've taught you to rinse the dishes?

Michelle

[sees the sink overflowing; alarmed] Oh, no! [quickly turns it off and places a towel on the wet floor]

Grandmum

And, Jason, you didn't replace the plastic liner in this trash can.

Jason

Sorry, Grandmum, I'll go get it right now.

Michelle

I guess I was in too big a hurry. I'm sorry.

Grandmum

Remember what the Good Book says, Enthusiasm without knowledge is no good. Haste makes mistakes.

Jason

Is that a real proverb?

Grandmum

It jolly well is. Take the time to listen and do it right the first time.

Jason

Like the trash liner. I'm on it.

Grandmum

You'll just make a mess if you rush.

Jason

Now where's that spaceship? It was right here!

Michelle

Jason, you heard Grandmum. We got to put the clean sheets on our beds.

Jason

I did.

Michelle

[sternly] Jason.

Jason

It's fine. I'll make the bed later. [Midgel galeezles both him and Michelle into the Rockhopper] Whoa, definitely later.

Michelle

Hey, thanks, Midgel. Where is everybody?

Midgel

Sorry, Michelle, no time for chit chat, we got to get going. [The kids are strapped to their seats and buckle up] The others are at the Comet Lounge making sure Sol doesn't run out of the afternoon special.

Sol's Aurora Borealis fruit punch!

Jason

What are we waiting for?!

BONSAI!

Jason

You were right, Michelle. We didn't take our time and we made mistakes.

Michelle

Captain Zidgel? Jason and I have realized something.

Can't stop it. Tried everything.

Jason

Captain, we have tried everything, except listening.

Listening? What do you mean?

Michelle

Grandmum told us, enthusiasm without knowledge is no good.

Jason

And haste makes mistakes.

Translated, means…is this a tongue twister?

Wait, I think I know. Rushing to do things in your own enthusiasm instead of taking time to understand and think causes problems.

Midgel

Cuz you'll just make a mess if you hurry.

Kevin

Yeah, big mess.

Jason

Right, we've been in such a hurry to get back to the Comet Lounge for Sol's aurora borealis fruit punch--

Michelle

That we've been running with the first ideas that popped into our heads. Nobody listened to the tiki king.

Jason

[as his sister, Midgel, Fidgel, and Kevin all glare annoyingly at him] No, that was not my fault. It was the lousy time machine. It didn't even work!

Michelle

Or maybe you didn't listen to any advice!

Looks like they didn't get the transmission.

And I dare say Jason ignored our warnings about the time machine.

Jason

This is fantastic!

Midgel

Exactly how is this fantastic, Jason?

Jason

[to Fidgel] Your time machine worked! We're in the future! This is the neatest thing ever!

Not to dampen your enthusiasm, young man, but our situation is, in fact, quite dire.

Jason

What do you mean?

Midgel

Our ship's destroyed, who knows how much the time machine's been damaged? Jason, face the facts.

The odds are, you and your sister are stuck here with us, forever.

Jason

[horrified] No!

Great Bullamanka! A human ice pop! What are you doin' in there?

Jason

[shivering from the cold] R-r-running away?

Not on board my ship, you don't. No stowaways. I got a firm rule against such things. [pulls him out of the cargo hold; recognizing him] Wait a minute, I know you! You're the mate aboard the Rockhopper, under Captain Zidgel.

Jason

P-p-please. You gotta let me stay. I-I can't go back there.

Why not?

Jason

They say things that hurt my feelings... supposed to be helpful.

Oh, it's like that, is it? Always telling you what to do, eh? Giving you orders, do this, do that. Making you feel bad by saying things you don't wanna hear, eh mate?

Jason

Yeah!

Ha! Get over it! You're a shipmate. Taking orders is what you do. Whatever they're telling you is probably for your own good.
