Clancy Brown: Gonta

Quotes 

• Osho : [Osho is patiently teaching a class to the young raccoons]  A raccoon fell out of the tree! Yes, that's right. Who can tell me *why* the raccoon fell out of the tree? Gonta?

  Gonta : He was a loser. *I* wouldn't have fallen.

  Osho : Good answer.

• Ponkichi : If we get rid of all the humans, that means... we'll never eat tempura again! Or beef jerky! Or popcorn.

  Tanuki : Hamburgers! Donuts! Potato chips! Pepperoni pizza! Chicken wings!

  [Gonta is moved by this. His eyes tear and his mouth waters] 

  Gonta : I can taste it!

  Seizaemon : So, then, do you think it would be alright if we kept a few humans around, Gonta?

  Gonta : [wiping the saliva from his mouth]  We have no choice.

• Gonta : What good did it do? You idiots. You think that will stop the developers? Don't just frighten them. We need to hurt them. Inflict some serious pain!

  [He makes an emphatic gesture with his arm. He stops and winces, then doubles over in pain] 

• Gonta : [as his attempted coup d'etat and call to action devolves into a random conversation about how best to cook a mouse]  WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH ALL OF YOU? I say...

  [He changes into his ultra simplified form and sings] 

  Gonta : A mouse tempura is the best one, yes it is!

  Oroku : See, Gonta? We can't fight. All we can think about is food. I think it's best if we wait for the transformation masters to get here.

  Gonta : [in a gruffly rueful tone]  Sorry about that.

• Seizaemon : You've brought hope back to this old heart of mine. Well done, son. Well done.

  [Gonta finishes his can of beer] 

  Gonta : [smirking]  Well done? We're not done. That was just practice.
