QUOTE(S):

"I can't fly!"

"I have beautiful eyes."

"Ah, this is the life. (sniffs) The perfect marshmallow to coco ratio…one, two, three, four, five, six. Hm—"

"[to the two geese outside] Throw all the snowballs you want. I’m protected by this magical force-field called glass…"

"[about Tulio] Linda, a little help here, Linda…I did not get that at all.”

"[to Tulio] What kind of doctor are you?”

"[to himself] Natural instincts (scoffs), there’s nothing natural being thrown half-way across the room. Well, I’ll show him. [reading a book about flying]
Humph, I can do this. I just have to work out the physics.
I have quadrated by vector angles.
I have adjusted for wind shear.
Positive reinforcement. Good. Okay.
Let's see. Flaps open. [opens his wings] Perfect.
Landing gear. [wiggles his claws] Check.
Tail flaps. [flaps his tail] Operational.
And actually...not bad. [as he prepares to fly for the first time] This is it! Let's fly! Just keep it simple. Thrust, lift, drag and wait. Thrust, lift, drag, wait. [speeds up to get to the end of the table] Thrust, lift, drag, wait. Thrust, lift, drag, wai...wai...wait! [gets scared and tries to stop himself, but instead falls from the table]"
