Dannan O'Mallard the Duck quotes from Jakers! The Adventures of Piggley Winks

Mr. Hornsby

Now, class... [Meg: Said the teacher.] Your homework, I'm saying...

Dannan

[quietly] Is put all your books down...

Mr. Hornsby

...is put all your books down, go out and start playing?!

Huh?!

Mr. Hornsby

Instead of a test, now, here's what we'll be doing, we'll go out and play 'til the cows all stop mooing?! [gasps and covers his mouth]

Dannan

[laughs]

Mr. Hornsby

In fact, my dear children, forget being smarties! The rest of the day, WE'LL HAVE NOTHING BUT PARTIES!!!

Dannan

What are you two doing flying about in your noisy rocket like that while I'm trying to study?

Piggley

Uh, there's no need for studying, Dannan. I'm having a dream.

Ferny

With cabbages! [chuckles]

Dannan

Why do you have cabbages in your dream, Piggley?

Piggley

Probably because I listened to the Creepy Theater radio show just before I fell asleep.

Dannan

[furious] WHAT-WHAT-WHAT-WHAT-WHAT-WHAT-WHAT-WHAT-WHAT-WHAT-WHAT-WHAT-WHAT-WHAT-WHAT-WHAT-WHAT-WHAT-WHAT?! You were listening to Creepy Theater? [Piggley guiltily nods] Didn't your parents tell you that's a grown-up show?

Piggley

I figure I'm grown-up enough, Dannan. [after a beat, frowns]

Dannan

Oh, you think so? Well, I won't be any part of a dream that comes from disobeying your parents!

Piggley

Okay, Dannan! But you're going to miss out on all the fun!

Dannan

Fun? Ha! Mark my words, Piggley. No good'll come of this rule-breaking stuff!
