The Backyardigans quotes

The butterfly!

[sees the butterfly on his nose, then starts running around in a panic] Oh, my! It's the butterfly! Right before my very nose! Right on my very nose!

Professor Pablo?

[not listening, still panicking] Where's my jar?! Where's my net?! I must catch it!

Professor Pablo?

[still panicking] I must catch the Gilded Golden Butterfly! Oh, boy, oh, boy!

Professor Pablo!

[finally stops panicking and turns to them] Yes?

Grab it!

Oh, right.

[to the viewers, portraying as a friendly giant] Yoo-hoo! Hello down there! I'm Tasha the Giant. That means I'm really, really, really... Big!

Alright, Wizard Pablo, ready to practice our magic spells?

Ready, Wizard Tyrone. Let's try the flying hat spell.

Okay. So first we chant the magic words...

And then we wave our magic wands...

And hopefully the hats will fly onto our heads.

Well, here goes nothing.

Aw, man. Why can't we get any magic spells right?

Being a wizard is hard work, Pablo. It takes lots of practice.

Listen up, wizards. Something terrible has happened. [leads them to the window, pointing to Giant Tasha in the far distance] There is… a giant in my kingdom!

[waving in the distance] Yoo-hoo!

[nervously] That's a big giant.

[agreeing] It certainly is.

Yes, and it's up to you to get rid of her.

Us?!

Yes, you! It's almost time for my royal nap, and I simply cannot sleep with a giant stomping about!

But-

No buts! Get rid of that giant!

Yes, Queen Uniqua.

NOW!

Yes, Queen Uniqua!

[pacing back and forth] This is bad.

I know.

We don't know how to get rid of a giant.

I know!

But if we don't do it, the queen will be mad.

I know.

Why do you keep saying that?

[shrugging] I don't know.

Why haven't you wizards left yet?! GO!

"Neigh neigh neigh!"

Horses appear and take us away!

Aw, man!

I told you being a wizard wasn't easy.

Yoo-hooo! Ooh, look at the itty bitty little horses. How adorable! Hello!

[yawning] You see that? That's my royal yawn. Which means I'm royally tired and I need to take my royal nap.

Yes, Queen Uniqua.

So you better quit your horsin' around and get rid of that giant. Because if you don't get rid of her, then I'll get rid of you! [storms off into her castle]

Yes, Queen Uniqua.

At last, peace and quiet. [goes to sleep, but not for long after hearing loud thudding; sighs annoyingly] Never mind. [hops off the bed, walks to the window, and gasps in shock, seeing Wizards Pablo and Tyrone now giant-sized]

Hi, Queen Uniqua!

More giants?! [Tyrone sticks his hand inside the window and grabs her] Hey! [angrily demanding] Put me down! I order you to put me down! [Tyrone obeys and sets her down] I told you to get rid of the giant, not make more giants!

Ooh! Look at the itty bitty queen!

[to Pablo and Tyrone] What kind of wizards are you, anyway?!

We're good wizards!

Captain's diary: trash day. The crew of the spaceship collector is aboard and ready for garbage collecting duty. All hands, take your stations!

Captain's diary: trash day. The Moosians have tricked us and taken all the garbage that we collected this morning. Lieutenant Uniqua, how much garbage do we have left on board?

None, captain. The Moosian ship took all of it.

Oh, for goodness sake! We're supposed to collect the garbage!

Captain, sensors indicate that there are extremely high garbage readings in the dumpster-ion sector.

Then set a course for the dumpster-ion sector, Lieutenant Uniqua. Zip speed! And keep an eye out for those Moosians.

Captain, I'm getting another distress call. It's coming from... The far side of that moon!

Hmm... Let's hear it.

My turn, Tyrone. Oh, help! Boo, hoo, hoo!

Boo, hoo! Boo, hoo!

Moosian vessel, this is Captain Tasha of the spaceship collector. Are you really in trouble or is this another trick?

No trick. Boo, hoo!

Yeah. Really, really! Boo, hoo!

[having now caught Pablo, who is Le Master of Disguise] Le Master of Disguise, I've chased you from Paris to Istanbul, and now I've caught you.

Yes, you've seen through my cleverest disguise. But I must know, why do you chase me?

Because you were running. Why were you running?

Because you were chasing me.

[after ordering Austin and Uniqua to pull over; sternly] Do you know why I stopped you?

Um, because you wanted to say hi?

Yes. Hi! But also because you were driving too fast.

Sorry, officer.

[to Uniqua] And you were riding around on a dinosaur.

Sorry, officer.

That's my dinosaur, officer. He's just a puppy and he ran away.

Hmmm... A runaway dinosaur, you say?

[locking the bar of soap in the dungeon, along with the rest of the cleaning supplies; grumpily] I hate clean!

Bye-bye, soap.

Look, there's our shampoo, and our toothpaste, and our towels.

And my rubber ducky! Daddy misses you!

[finally fed up] That's it! I've had enough.

Tyrone? Where are you going?

To Purewood Forest!

What?!

That's right. I'm going to find Robin Hood and bring him back to Filthingham, so he can make our village clean again!

You better be careful.

What if the mayor sees you leave?

Don't worry, he won't. I have a very sneaky walk.
