- Dexter Stuffins: I get goose bumps every time I think of the fact I was immersed in water where bugs have babies!
- Dexter Stuffins: With my luck, if I open my mouth, something tiny with far too many legs will fly into it.
- Dexter Stuffins: You said you wanted to be my friend. You asked me here because you cared about me - and I came because I care about you.
- Dexter Stuffins: [extending hand] Friends?
- Ricky Stratton: Isn't life a kick in the head?
- Dexter Stuffins: Yes - life is a kick in the head. That's why I own stock in several aspirin companies.
- Dexter Stuffins: You'd want to hang out with me?
- Ricky Stratton: Yeah.
- Dexter Stuffins: Well, I'll tell you what - next Monday, why don't you come over to my office? I'll give you an accountant's green visor, some sleeve protectors - and we'll see what's new in the tax laws.
- Edward Stratton III: [watching the bear] He's hungry; he'll probably leave after he has some berries.
- Ricky Stratton: What happens if the berries are just an appetizer - and we're the main course?
- Dexter Stuffins: Now listen, you! I happen to know the owner of the Ringling Brothers circus - so I suggest you make yourself scarce, or you may spend the rest of your life wearing a clown collar, tooting a toy horn, and riding a unicycle!
- Ricky Stratton: How could Dexter not like the woods? I mean, we do - we love the woods!
- Edward Stratton III: I know what you mean, son. When you really, really like something, it's hard to imagine somebody else doesn't. But the truth is, people are different; not everybody likes the same thing.
- Edward Stratton III: What's not to like about Italian food? There's pasta, meat, cheese, tomatoes!
- Kate Summers: That's right; no matter what you order - pasta, meat, cheese and tomatoes!
- Ricky Stratton: Guys - I get the point!
- Edward Stratton III: Are you tellin' me you don't like veal parmigiana?
- Kate Summers: No - just like you don't like sushi.
