[depressingly] Goodbye, Henry.
[Eugene is about to flush Henry's deceased body down the toilet, but he refuses to do it]
[tearfully] Oh, I can't do it, Arnold, [he sobs a bit] I've had Henry ever since he was a little baby goldfish.

He thinks I'm okay and he touched me! [scene changes to outside] And I'm not a monkey!
[As a monkey] Arnold, I love you, but I never had the guts to tell you.
But you're not Helga, you're a monkey, a monkey girl.
There comes a time in every youngster's life when he's ready to take on Big Caesar! And you boys... well, you're not ready yet, but I'm tired of waitin'.
[about the last boat available for a fishing contest] There is no way we're fishing in a swan boat. [next frame] I can't believe we're fishing in a swan boat.
Yeah, I like Licorice, so what? Kidnapping is not my game — too messy!
Then where were you, handsome?
Alright I'll tell ya but you have to keep it under your hat, see.
We'll see about that.
I don't think you're in the position to give orders.
I was at a ballet lesson Madame Bovary's school for boys.
Ballet lessons? Oh, come on.
