Dexter's Laboratory quotes

Brute force will get you nowhere. I am a man of class. Behold my succulent feast. King crab, swordfish, scalloped potatoes. But of course, if this is too rich for you, I'll have my cooks make you a [The shadowy warlord reveals to be a talking chimpanzee] banana split!

I never thought all the answers would be given to me in such a simple package. How could I not see that I have become of that which I hate? Only a monkey could show me that. Oh, my friend! I want to walk like you, talk like you!

[to the audience] Anybody want to buy a dinosaur? [episode ends]

[narrating] The horror. Of the landmarks in the home of my parents. My memory will forever rest in the room that belongs to my sister: Dee Dee.

Why am I breathing so hard?

[singsong] I ate your cookies! I ate your cookies! [blows a raspberry, turns on one foot and sticks her costume's tail in Dexter's face; she then ballet dances until she suddenly notices one of her arms then the other bursting out of her rat costume, which appear to be abnormally large and elongated; she then bursts out of the rat costume as a whole and starts growing to an immense size, with Dexter watching in dismay] Ooh, [points at the city] what's over there? [walks to the city just as Dexter heads out of the front door to watch his giantess sister entering the city]

[while jumping for joy] At last! With my sister gone, my intellectual pursuits shall be uninhibited! [walks toward the house then closes the front door]

[laughs at Dexter's speech for wanting to be Major Glory's sidekick]

And what is so humorous about that? [Dee Dee continues laughing] Dee Dee stop this laughing this instant!

Okay, okay Dexter, don't get your underwear into a wrinkle. Look...You're my brother and all so I'll be honest with ya...[amused] You've gotta be kidding me! [seriously] You don't got what it takes. Just look at ya...[measures Dexter] You're two foot nothing. [camera zooms on Dexter's glasses] You can barely see [puts her arm around Dexter's shoulder] and besides everything...You're a dork! [smiles]

[yells in frustration]

And I suppose you've got what it takes to be a superhero's sidekick?

[shrugs] Of course. I've got style, pizzazz, and I can kick some. Well, you know. [Dexter opens his mouth to talk] Yes?

[drops it] Forget it. [walks upstairs] There's nothing more to be said. I will be Major Glory's sidekick and you will not.

[shouts upstairs] That's what you think Dexter!

No, Dee Dee! That is what I know.

'Master Computer?' Wow dad, thanks, a video game... An OLD video game...

Well, I know how much you like gadgets and stuff, Dexter, but what you've got there is more than just a video game: It's a bargain! Got it for a nickel from a gypsy!

[sounds like Lisa on his end of the phone] Oh, I guess we just got cut off. But I wanted to call you back and tell you that you have got cooties and I am love with Dexter. Bye.

Hello!

Dee Dee, get off the phone!

Okay, but I'm still trying to find whatever it was I was looking for.

Great, okay, bye.

Bye!

Bye.

Bye!

BYE!

Omelette du fromage.

Hey, Dexter! You talkin' to our girls?

[desperate] Omelette du fromage! Omelette du fromage.

Hey, whoa, slow down, buddy. I didn't know it was like that, man.

[enraged at Dee Dee] WHY DO YOU DO THIS?! YOU ARE SO STUPID! STUPID! STUPID! STUPID! Oh, and let's not forget...YOU'RE SO STUPID!

Ow! [Rubs her face] Oh yeah!? Well just because I know how to have fun doesn't mean I'm stupid! I may not know all that scientifical makna logical stuff, but I know how to climb a tree, and I know how to pet a kitty just right. And I know how to tie my own shoes Mr zipper boot!... Actually, I feel sorry for you, Dexter. You're like a pickle - sour, and all bottled up in your laboratory. Toiling away alone in the dark, searching for answers to questions nobody asked. Locked away from the world, never to experience the true mysteries of life. Well, you can keep your cold, sterile little lab, because for me, the world is my laboratory! Goodbye, Dexter. I shan't impose on you ever again.

DEE DEE! [sadly] Everything you said was true! I don't want to be a pickle! But I need your help. Show me the way to be free, show me the way of the Dee Dee!

Discard those ravlings which tie you to the lab. [Dexter looks down at his clothes] There must be a stripping of the old, before you start anew. [The next shot shows Dexter in just his underwear and gloves, in a nervous "Ta-Da!" pose] AND the gloves. [He reluctantly pulls them off] Now step into the light.

But, I don't have any sunscreen.

Do not fear, little one. The first step is always the hardest.

[slaps Dexter] Stop it, Dexter! Look at yourself! You're a MONSTER! No longer a quiet creator but a mad destroyer! [sobs] I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have pushed you! I know now it wasn't my place to try to change you! Oh Dexter, please forgive me. [Dexter reaches his hand out to Dee Dee. She then leaves the lab] OH, WHAT HAVE I DONE?! [still sobbing]

Major Glory

Now we are going to over this again and again and again until we get it right! Comprende?

Major Glory

[Nervously] Perhaps I've pushed you too hard?
