View Quote I shall not cause harm to any vehicle nor the personal contents thereof, nor through inaction let that vehicle or the personal contents thereof come to harm. It's what I call the Repo Code, kid. Don't forget it--etch it in your brain. Not many people got a code to live by anymore.

View Quote Look at 'em, ordinary **** people, I hate 'em.

Balthazar: This plot's highly predictable.
Ezekiel: Quiet! This is my favorite part!
Rango: Arriving to great fanfare, 'twas her aging father… [the band of Elf Owls, also disguised in Medieval costumes, fanfare and Sergeant Turley enters kneeling with a wooden sword. Awkward silence. Then Rango remembers about the arrow in Turley's eye.] ...Strucketh by Cupid.

Gophers: ♪ Grit and spit and collared greens ♪
♪ Waffle chitons, monkey brains ♪
♪ Refried bones and booger blood ♪
♪ Pickled eggs and flaps of mud ♪
Rango: [silently] It's a full house.
Balthazar: Looks like we're gonna have a good, old-fashioned standoff.
Rango: I'll have you know, you're not lookin' at our entire contingent.
Spoons: Caw-caw, caw-caw, caw, caw, caw-caw, caw!
Gopher: What's that? What's that supposed to be?!
Elgin: That's the signal.
Waffles: Yeah, that's the signal! Something must've gone wrong!
[Spoons starts doing flag signals and then runs to a campfire and makes smoke signals]
Balthazar: So, uh... somethin' supposed to happen?

View Quote [Rango notices a hole popping out the road, Ezekiel and Jedidiah pop out]
Jedidiah: This ain't the bank!
Ezekiel: I told you, Jedidiah!
Rango: HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!!
Ezekiel: It's the sheriff!
Rango: Get your hands up where I can see 'em! [Ezekiel and Jedidiah do so] Just as I suspected. [puts his gun away] Prospecting without the authorized equipment. Don't move a muscle. [walks away]
Jedidiah: Prospecting? [Ezekiel shrugs]
Rango: [comes back with equipment] Now, got your shovel, pickaxe, Benadryl, loofah, assorted snacks, some puzzle books, and you're gonna need a permit.
Balthazar: [shouts out from the hole] EZEKIEL! JEDIDIAH! WHAT THE SAM HILL IS GOING ON UP THERE?! [comes out of the hole while whacking Ezekiel and Jedidiah on the head] I'VE HAD POLYPS REMOVED SMARTER THAN THE TWO OF YOU! [sniffs the air] Hell's fire! This ain't the bank!
Ezekiel: Hey, Pappy. The sheriff's standing right here, helping us out.
Jedidiah: Gonna give us a permit for "prospecting".
Rango: Yep, just doing my duty. The lonely constable on his rounds, keeping an eagle eye out for mayhem and malfeasance.
Balthazar: Does he look like what he sounds?
Jedidiah: Uh, huh.
Balthazar: Well, sheriff, if we was to hit the motherlode, being prospectors and such, where exactly do we deposit said annuity?
Rango: Well, here in the town of Dirt, we happen to have the finest financial institution in this side of Missouri. [points to the Bank of Dirt] Protected morning, noon and night by yours truly. [gives Balthazar the permit]
Balthazar: Much obliged.

View Quote Waffles: It's impossible.
Beans: It can't be. It's empty.
Gopher: There's no water!
Balthazar: No water?! Then what the hell we been fightin' for?
Rango: Sir, you have defiled and desecrated the very sustenance of our livelihood!
Jedidiah: Hey, I think that there fella in the pretty dress is the sheriff.
Balthazar: That's the same fella who gave us a prospecting permit?
Beans: A what?
Rango: [clears throat] Irrelevant! Obfuscation! You and your kin are under arrest for bank robbery, and the murder of our beloved financial adviser, Johannes Merrimack III, a.k.a. Fluffy Joe.
Ezekiel: Sheriff, we didn't kill nobody. We done tunnelled into that vault, and there weren't nothing in it.
Jedidiah: Someone done rob that bank before we robbed it.
Beans: Then where'd you get this here jug?
Ezekiel: [to Balthazar] That's what I've been trying to tell you, Pappy. I found it in the desert.
Balthazar: THEN WHY IN TARNATION DID YOU BRING IT HERE?! [whacks Ezekiel with his staff]
Rango: Hold on, hold on! You're saying this here jug was empty when you found it?
Ezekiel: Uh, huh! That's right!
Elgin: Eh, I don't believe a word of him.
Buford: Let's hang him, sheriff!
Sergeant Turley: String 'em up!
Ambrose: Who would dump water in the desert?
Beans: Wouldn't be the first time.
Waffles: It's a puzzle! It's like a big old mammogram!
Fergus: What's goin' on, sheriff?
Rango: I don't know, but I'm gonna strip this mystery and expose its private parts. [to Balthazar] You and your kin are coming with me.
