6 quotesEmbrace Your Strength and Fight for Purpose
Dr. Vera Gorski
If you do not dance you have no purpose. And we don't keep things here that have no purpose. You see, your fight for survival starts right now. You don't want to be judged? You won't be. You don't think you're strong enough? You are. You're afraid. Don't be. You have all the weapons you need. Now fight.

Mr. Popper's Penguins and Unwanted Animal Confusion
Mr. Popper
Where are my penguins?!
Nat Jones
Listen, sir, I'm gonna have to call you right back. They're not your penguins, Mr. Popper.
Mr. Popper
Don't give us that runaround, slick. Why aren't my penguins out there?
Nat Jones
Because we already have penguins. What we don't have is an emu. Or a Komodo dragon. Or a Bengal tiger.
Mr. Popper
What are you talking about, hmm?
Nat Jones
Trading, Mr. Popper. Zoos do it all the time. Same thing with sports teams. And how do you think the New York Yankees won 27 of their championships? It sure wasn't their farming system.
Amanda
All right, where are you sending them?
Nat Jones
I'm sending three to Washington and three to Tokyo and the two penguin chicks are going all the way to Dubai.
Janie
But you can't split them up. They're a family.
Nat Jones
For God's sake! They're just birds.
Mr. Popper
Just birds? Okay, and what about the American bald eagle? Is that just a bird?
Nat Jones
Yes.
Mr. Popper
Okay, and what about... No, Big Bird is a Muppet. Look, can my family just see them for once? My family is all torn up about it and my kids are distraught, right, Billy?
Billy
Please, sir, can we just say goodbye?
Nat Jones
No.
Mr. Popper
Children, this is what a liar looks like. Take a mental picture.
Nat Jones
Look, Popper, I couldn't even if I wanted to. They're already gone.

Control Your World and Release the Pain
Dr. Vera Gorski
It's like we talked about. You control this world. Let the pain go, let the hurt go, let the guilt go. What you are imagining right now, that world you control. That place can be as real as any pain.

Please don't touch the exhibits! I mean, riffraff. Mrs. Hutman, I cannot tolerate this type of chaos. I mean, this is a museum, not a... Do you know what museum means? It doesn't mean, "Ooh, Daddy, it's a big tyrannosaurus thing. Can I touch its leg?" No! It... Work it out, please.
Rebecca
Will do, sir.

Thank you.
Rebecca
Dr. McPhee, our museum director.

Dr. McPhee
Control your young, please! Can we? Oh!
