Pete: Don't talk to me about responsibilities. I have a life. I have a family. I can't afford to sit in my apartment getting high, jerking off, and then going to Tommy's Chili Burgers at three o'clock in the morning.
Ronnie: That's not even the order that happens in!

Graham Parker: Got a bit of a problem. Touch of gout.
Pete: Gout?
Graham Parker: Yeah, my whole family, they all had gout.
Pete: Jesus.
Ronnie: That's very unfortunate.
Graham Parker: My auntie Queenie, she had a foot like the size of a small pig. I've got a photo of it.
Ronnie: I'd love to see that photo of that gout foot.
Graham Parker: A couple of bunions as well.
Ronnie: ****.

Ronnie: [Referring to Graham Parker video they are viewing] What are you doing?
Cat: I'm contextualizing him as one of the great figures in rock history.
Ronnie: You can't show him in his prime in '77 and then jump straight to him as he is now. It's terrifying. You have to reverse it. You have got to show him as he is now, very briefly, and then show him in 1977. You have got to Benjamin Button it.
Cat: I don't know what you're talking about. All rock stars are older now. Steven Tyler, David Bowie, Mick Jagger...
Pete: Paul McCartney.
Ronnie: Okay, stop it. Everybody that you are mentioning looks like an old woman now. You're just mentioning a bunch of Jessica Tandys. Keith Richards gets away with it, but that's because Keith Richards looked 70 when he was 40. And now that he's 70, he looks 69. He's regenerating.

Bomba: I don't know how much your mother told you about my work.
Mary Katherine: Um, she... Nothing. Just that you have a delusional belief in an advanced society of tiny people living in the woods. And it... Well, it ruined your career. Not to mention your marriage. [Bomba looks at her with a hurt expression] Or something.
Mary Katherine: Talking snails.
Mub: [referring to Grub] Actually, he's a snail. I'm a slug. No shell over here, baby. It just slows me down.
Mary Katherine: Who are you people?
Ronin: We are the Leafmen, protectors of the forest.
[Bufo's goons are beating up Nod after he goes back on a deal.]
Nod: Is that the best you got?
Goon: [punches Nod really hard] How's that?
Nod: [weakly] Better.
Bufo: Nod, you know I like you.
Nod: Yeah, I like you too, Mr. Bufo.
Bufo: And yet, you don't do what we agreed. We agreed that you would lose, but then you win.
Nod: Now, I can't help it if I'm fast. You want me to lose, you got to give me some better competition.
Bufo: It's called teamwork. Maybe if you understood that, the Leafmen wouldn't have kicked you out.
Nod: They did not kick me out! I quit!
Bufo: [chuckles] I admire your independent spirit, Nod. I miss that. [to his goons] Feed him to something. A snake would be good.
Ronin: [appears] Nah, snakes just swallow you whole. Now if you put him in a hornet's nest, that's a show.
Bufo: Oh, look, it's Ronin, defender of the weak, pooper of parties, here to ruin the fun. [gestures for his goons to let Nod go]
Ronin: I didn't ruin all of it. I let you hit him.
Nod: [annoyed] Twice!
Ronin: [to Bufo] Hop along now, little froggie.
Bufo: Easy, Ronin. It's a big forest out there. Even Leafmen gotta sleep.
Bufo: Hey, if this is a bad time, I can come back when you're done gardening. [Mandrake's guard pokes him] Oh! Hey!
Mandrake: I imagine you're wondering why I invited you here.
Bufo: I was frog-marched here at spear point. [Mandrake's guard pokes him again] Ah! How is that "invited"?
Mandrake: [shrugs] I let you keep your legs.
Bufo: [chuckles] Comedy. Terrific. Funny psychopath.
Mandrake: There are rumors that the Leafman Ronin was at your place of business, and that he may have rescued a royal pod.
Bufo: [chuckles] Real smooth. You got rid of the queen, but let her pod get away. [chuckles] Plus your idiot general gets himself mulched.
Mandrake: [angry] That idiot general... [shouting] WAS MY SON!
[He destroys a tree, frightening Bufo]
Bufo: [stuttering] Uh, of course he was. He had your good looks, and your healthy grey complexion, and forgiving nature.
Mandrake: Shut up! What's it gonna be, Bufo? Are you gonna talk, or are you gonna croak? [Bufo whimpers] Where are they taking the pod?
[from trailer]
Nod: What happened? You got shrunk?
Mary Katherine: Yes!
Nod: Seriously?
Ronin: It's been a weird day for everybody.
[from trailer]
Mandrake: You just can't stop the rot.
Mub: Ugly says "What?"
Mandrake: What?
Mub: Nothing. [snickers along with Grub]
[M.K. and Nod have just escaped a Boggan attack]
Mary Katherine: What was that thing?!
Nod: What, you've never seen a Boggan? Someone had a happy childhood.
Mary Katherine: Dad? I had the most messed-up dream. There were talking slugs and tiny little soldiers and-- [gasps]
Grub: Hello!
Mary Katherine: Aw, man!
[After Mandrake captures Mub and Grub with the pod, Ronin blames Nod for letting them escape and he puts his foot down]
Ronin: [angrliy, pushing Nod into the wall] Stay with the Pod, that's all you Have to do.
Nod: Yeah, but I just thought if..
Ronin: Do you ever think about anyone besides yourself?! .
Mary Katherine: It wasn't all his fault!.
Ronin:And You! I expected as much from him. But I thought you would know better.
Nod: We're really sorry, okay?. We just...
Ronin: I don't want to hear it. That was the last part of the queen that I h----. That any of us will ever have. [walks away]
[At the Boggan headquarters, after Mub, Grub, and the pod have been kidnapped]
Mandrake: My son was born on a night like this. These were his baby fangs. And here's the first skin he ever molted. He was big for a larva. He took after his mother.
Mub: [whines] Oh, your stories are boring and tortureous!
Mandrake: The Leafmen took him from me! So I took something of theirs. It's basic etiquette. An eye [pokes Grub's eye] for an eye. [pokes Mub's eye]
Mub: Jerk!
Mandrake: Your pod will bloom here. And when the pod blooms in darkness, it belongs to the darkness. I'll destroy the forest with the very thing you hoped would save it.
[Mub and Grub laugh]
Grub: I hate to break it to you, but it doesn't say that in the scrolls!
Mandrake: It does in the part I have. [shows the piece of scroll that he took from Nim's tree]
Mub and Grub: D'oh!
Nim Galuu: Let's see. Moonlight comes in here, moves along here, reaches the pod here. At the moon's highest peak, only time it can bloom.
Grub: Do you know what this means?
Mud: We single-handedly saved the forest! Eye five! Down low! Too slow!
Nod: So, when the pod opens, what happens to you?
Mary Katherine: I think I go home.
Nod: Well, I... I guess this is...
Mary Katherine: Yeah, I guess it is.
Grub: Mandrake's bats!
Mary Katherine: They're not attacking. They're just... blocking out the moon.
[from trailer]
Nod: [referring to Bomba] This guy's been crashing around the forest for years.
Mary Katherine: He's my dad!
Ronin: You're kidding. [Nod laughs; Mary Katherine shoves him in frustration] You're not kidding.
Mary Katherine: [as she is being pulled away from Nod as she starts to grow] What's happening?
Nim Galuu: [points to Tara's successor] A queen brought you here... how about a queen send you back?
Flower Kid: [last lines, as she concentrates on using her new found powers] Ummm... [gasps]... It's Working!
Mary Katherine: Um, she... Nothing. Just that you have a delusional belief in an advanced society of tiny people living in the woods. And it... Well, it ruined your career. Not to mention your marriage. [Bomba looks at her with a hurt expression] Or something.
