6 quotes Dave/Dr. Octavius Brine Dave/Dr. Octavius Brine The humans know me as Dr. Octavius Brine. Renowned geneticist, cheese enthusiast, and frequent donor to NPR pledge drives… but you know me by a different, much older name. A name perhaps you hope you'd never hear again. A phantom! A shadow of a former life! I... am... [a purple octopus emerges from the costume of Dr. Brine] DAVE!
Dave/Dr. Octavius Brine You seriously don't remember me?
Dave/Dr. Octavius Brine [to Rico]
UGH, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!
Dave/Dr. Octavius Brine Charlize, they're on the ray! Helen, hunt them down! William, hurt them! Halle, bury them! Hugh, Jack! Man the battle stations! Kevin, bake on! We're still going to need that victory cake!
Dave/Dr. Octavius Brine WHAT, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! You think this is over? I'm just getting started! Open this right now!

[On a wall monitor in North Wind headquarters, Dave appears, his red eyes up-close, with his tentacle in a fist, he does an evil laugh (after a failed call).]
Dave!
Dave [Everyone glares at Dave as Short Fuse growls at him.]
Greetings, North Wind! I see you've met my old zoo-mates.
We were never mates. There was no mating.
[shows him the small vial stolen by the penguins]
Turn yourself in, David. You're powerless now that I've stolen your precious Medusa Serum.
It's over.
Dave It's over? Then why did I call you? Weird... Oh, maybe it was to show you this! [turns the camera to show the penguins and the North Wind a giant vial containing the serum as two octopuses behold it, much to their shock]
That is a lot of serum for 4 penguins.
Dave Oh, you thought this was just about you four? No. No, no, no, no. We're just getting started. [takes a selfie] Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go do some shopping... for revenge! [presses a button to turn off the screen, but nothing happens. He presses it again, but nothing still happens]
Dave [as Dave prepares to use his ray on Private; the North Wind and penguins have been captured]
Who's ready to move into live penguin testing?
You point that death ray away from Private right now!
It's not a death ray, Skipper! He's gonna turn us into monsters!
Dave Yepper-doo! "And what comes next, Dave?" Invasion! Ahhh! Horrible mutant penguins released on the streets of New York City!
You're the monster!
Dave [angrily]
Yes, I'm the monster! Everyone made that clear to me every day of my entire life. But now, let's see how much everyone loves you when you're the monster!
Skipper!
You can't take away Private's cuteness!
He's the cute one! [Rico grunts in agreement] That's his thing!
What?
It's all the little guy's got! [Private rolls his eyes]
Dave Hmm, you are super cute. We'd better crank this up. Drew, Barry! More power.
[After everyone thought Private was killed] [gets a hold of one of Private's floating feathers]
Private…
Oh, no.
Dave I disintegrated him. That wasn't supposed to happen.
You maniac! You blew him up! [Rico whimpers]
No...
New York Reporter [in the harbors of New York City along with a crowd]
Breaking news, the penguins have been found! Okay, according to my notes, genetic researcher, Dr. Octavius Brine, has found the penguins and is bringing them here to New York's Battery Park. The penguins are coming back! Oh my gosh, look!
Dave [rising from his sub out of the water]
Penguin lovers of the world! Guess who I found. It wasn't easy, but seeing these penguins get what they derserve will make it worthwhile.
New York Reporter What a weird thing to say. I'm so excited!
Dave Yay! Your newly improved penguins!
[The doors to the sub open letting out green smoke, showing the captured penguins including Skipper, Kowalski and Rico having successfully been mutated by the Medusa Serum, now not so cute looking with scary appearances. The humans gasp in horror]
Dave Now... that I finally have my revenge, I feel... empty. As if, what I needed all along was... MORE REVENGE! In fact, Robin, write this down.
Dave [One of his minions writes]
Tomorrow, we move on: kittens, then puppies, bunnies, pandas...
Dave [Dave gasps as he sees the penguins using his ray]
Charlize, they're on the ray!
Dave [Dave runs off, ripping off his human disguise back to his octopus appearance]
Helen, hunt them down! William, hurt them! Halle, bury them! Hugh, Jack, man the battle stations! Kevin, bake on! We're still gonna need that victory cake!
