Quotations

[to Rudy; whiny] Awww! You threw off my groove!

[examining his brides] Let's take a look, see... hate your hair, not likely, yikes, yikes, yikes, and let me guess: you have a great personality.

[after Pacha asks where he and his people will live after their village is demolished] Hmm... Don't know, don't care. How's that?

[to Pacha] When I give the word, your little town thingy will be... bye-bye. Bye-bye! [Pacha is taken away]

[narrating; referring to Kronk's "theme music"] Big, dumb and tone-deaf. I am so glad I was unconscious for all of this.

[narrating] Um, what's with the chimp and the bug? Can we get back to me?

[sarcastic] Oh, boo-hoo! Now I feel really bad! Bad llama!

Yay, I'm a llama again! [beat; realizing] Wait...

[walks in soaking wet] Okay, why does she even have that lever? [kicks the alligator biting his tail; alligator whimpers and runs away]

[while firing Yzma] Um, how else can I say it? You're being let go, your department's being downsized, you're part of an outplacement, we're going in a different direction, we're not picking up your options - take your pick. I got more.
