Eee, these bank holidays, it's a problem to decide. [Gromit snores] Tell you what, Gromit lad! [Gromit wakes up] Let's have a nice hot cup of tea, hm? [walks out of the room] Kettle should have boiled by now. [sets up the tea tray with cups, pours tea in the teapot, grabs some crackers from the cabinet, and pours some on the plate; checks the fridge; eyes widen] No cheese, Gromit! [Gromit begins to sulk a bit] Not a bit in the house! [brings the tray to the living room, and take a bit out of a cracker; eyes widen with a gulp] Gromit, that's it! Cheese! We'll go somewhere where there's cheese! [Gromit is confused; looks at "Cheese Holidays" magazine] Now, where were we? Places you find cheese. Lancashire, Cheddar, Wensleydale, Philadelphia, Tesco's... [they stop reading and look out the window at the moon] Everybody knows the moon is made of cheese...

A line from WallaceAdjust angle of thrust. [presses 2 buttons] Steady now. [pushes the small lever] Easing up. [Gromit carefully finishes the pyramid of cards] Steady! [Gromit is making sure that the cards won't fall] Gently does it. [pulls the lever as the rocket lands on the moon, causing the cards to fall on the table, much to Gromit's annoyance]

6 quotes60 seconds to blast off. Oh! Unlock the doors. [Gromit pushes the button; the doors under the backyard opens, causing 3 garden gnomes to fall; realizes something's missing as Gromit looks on] No crackers, Gromit! We've forgotten the crackers! [Gromit became worried; slides down the ladder to get the crackers] Hold on, Gromit! Hold on! [grabs most of the pack of crackers from the cabinet; Gromit looks at the time, the fuse is still burning; runs back to the basement, climbs up the rocket, pushes down the ladder before locking the door shut. The fuse finishes burning as the clock chimes the bells. Then they hear the rumbling sound; the rocket is about to lift off, shaking the whole basement. The mice look on, and put on dark glasses. Gromit remembers with the snap, and pushes the lever as the rocket blasts off from the basement to the sky] GROOOMMMMIIITTT!!!
One for the album.
Nice drop of tea to get the tastebuds going. [drinks the cup] Plate. [Gromit gives him the plate] Knife. [Gromit gives him the knife] Cracker. [Gromit gives him the crackers; cutting the cone, putting 'moon cheese' on it, eating it] Hmm? See what you think. [gives a bowl to Gromit, sniffing it] Wensleydale? [Gromit shakes his head] Stilton? [Gromit shakes his head again; swallows the cheese] I don't know, lad. It's like no cheese I've ever tasted. [wipes his mouth] Let's try another spot. [pulls Gromit]
Emergency countdown! 10 second of counting! Ugh!
Set coordinates for 62 West Wallaby Street. [eats cheese with a cracker while looking at the cheese magazine] [Gromit pushes the lever, as the rocket flies back to Earth]
