Guy: I'm just a glorified extra, Fred. I'm a dead man, anyway. If I'm gonna die, I'd rather go out a hero than a coward.
Fred: Guy, maybe you're the Plucky Comic Relief. You ever think about that?
Guy:: Plucky?
Fred: Besides [chuckles], I just had this really interesting idea.
[starts pushing him in the opposite direction]
Guy: Are you stoned?
Passepartout, in his joy on reaching at last the American continent, thought he would manifest it by executing a perilous vault in fine style; but, tumbling upon some worm-eaten planks, he fell through them.

Sunfire: It's all insane, Morph.
Morph: You got that right. So why bother getting all bothered? This is the hand we've been dealt. I try to see the lighter side of every situation. The differences alone are a real hoot.

Rachel: I wish I could do that.
Marco: What?
Rachel: Always think things are funny. It's why you're so... you know, cool and in control.
Marco: Me? Cool and in control?
Rachel: Yesterday... last night... it got to me. You grind my nerves sometimes, Marco, always joking the way you do. But keep it up, okay? We need a sense of humor.
Marco: Humor? You thought I was kidding? You mean, you and Jessica aren't both insanely in love with me?

Velvet Crowe: Stop fooling around.
Magilou: But I'm serious about my fooling around!
Magilou: But I'm serious about my fooling around!
