Seeking Answers Through Meditation and Insight
Ace Ventura Think! Someone wants these two tribes to destroy each other. There must be something valuable in this equation. Perhaps we should meditate upon it, Spike. For it is said that when seeking answers, one must quiet the soul in order to hear them. What is it the Wachatis possess that is of great value to other men - besides the princess with the amazing rack? All righty, then.
[sits down crosslegged; meditates and recites "All righty then" in trance to communicate with his master at the monastery]
Abbot Oh Ace. You're back?
[sees Ace's spirit]
Ace You can dispense with the smallpox, all-knowing one. I'm here on business, and ] is of the essence.
[[time]
Abbot Very well. What answer do you seek?
Ace I need to know what it is the Wachatis possess that is of great value to civilized man.
Abbot The medallion will lead you to the answer. You do still have the medallion, don't you?
Ace Medallion? Why... surely! I left it back, uhh, with my body.
Abbot Your aura is weakening.
Ace OKAY, I THREW IT IN A CAVE! What do you want from me?! What are you? Mr. Perfect?! You wanna know where it is? It's probably lying in a BIG PILE of... Guano! They have GUANO!
[suddenly realizes the answer; the Abbot smiles and nods; Ace opens his eyes]
Reflecting on Life and Memories
Adult Joe Wenteworth Into paradise...may the angels lead you.
[Presses his hand against Simon's tombstone]
Simon Wenteworth Dad. Dad! I'd love to stand around in the graveyard all day, but I got a game. Remember?
Adult Joe Wenteworth Okay, Simon. I'm coming. You know, I was just thinking about that. Last year, you played in the squirt league, right?
Simon Wenteworth Yeah.
Adult Joe Wenteworth This year, it's Pee-Wee.
Simon Wenteworth So?
Adult Joe Wenteworth So what do they want you to do? Play soccer, or urinate? Anyway, I was just thinking.
[Sees that Simon doesn't get it]
Dr. Robotnik Analyzes an Unidentified Creature
Dr. Robotnik What is extraordinary is I have determined the exact height, weight, and spinal curvature of this creature, and my computer cannot find a single match for it anywhere in Earth's animal kingdom. This blackout was not a terrorist attack, and that's no baby bigfoot. This guy... is something else... entirely.

Authority and Disagreement in Leadership
Dr. Robotnik Are you in charge here?
Major Bennington Yes, I am.
Robotnik Nope!
Bennington My–
Robotnik Wrong!
Bennington Name–
Robotnik I'm in charge!
Bennington Is Major—
[getting frustrated at Robotnik's interruptions]
Robotnik Me!
Bennington Ben–
Robotnik I'm in charge. You've never seen anything like this before. This says I'm the top banana, in a world full of hungry little monkeys. Allow me to clarify. In a sequentially-ranked hierarchy, based on level of critical importance, the disparity between us is too vast to quantify. Agent Stone?
[whispers; makes zipping noise]
Agent Stone The doctor thinks you're basic.
Robotnik I'm initiating a sweep sequence. Ten miles in every direction should suffice. Is he still looking at me funny?
[glances back]
Stone Yes, he is.
Robotnik Tell him to stop, or I'll pull up his search history.
Stone If you don't stop looking at the Doctor, he'll take a closer look at–
Bennington I'm not deaf!
Robotnik And tell him his men report to me now, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah!
Bennington Excuse me? Listen, pal. I don't know if you realize–
Robotnik I'm sorry, Major. What was your name?
Bennington Benning–
Robotnik Nobody cares! Nobody cares. Listen, Major Nobody-Cares, you know why nobody cares who you are? Because nobody cares about your feeble accomplishments. And nobody cares how proud your Mommy is that you're now reading at a third-grade level. Have you finished ] yet? Spoiler alert: she dies in the end. But she leaves a big creepy egg sac. Ah, my babies! Look what came out of my egg sac! You know what I love about machines? They do what they're told. They follow their programming! They don't need time off to get drunk and put the boat in the water! And you do what you're told: stand over there on the edge of your personal abyss, and watch my machines do your job. Can you feel it, Stone?
[[w:Charlotte's Web (2006 film)|Charlotte's Web; as his egg-shaped drones emerge; chuckles; to Bennington; Bennington steps away with a bitter look]
Stone I can feel it, Doctor.
Robotnik It's evolution, Stone! It's evolution!

Ace Ventura Mr. Shickadance, I told you. You're my first priority. I'm on a very big case right now. Look at that. That's a true albino pigeon. Some rich guy lost it and is offering a huge reward. As soon as I find this ], you're paid.
[Shows Mr. Shickadance, a $25,000 reward poster; [bird]
Mr. Shickadance I heard animals in there, Ventura. I heard them again this morning, scratching around.
Ace Ventura I never bring my work home with me, sir.
Mr. Shickadance Oh yeah! What's all this pet food for?
Ace Ventura ...Fiber?

Ace Ventura Tell them what I'm saying. I come in peace!
[faces the Wachootoo]
Ouda White Devil say, "I will harm you.
[in poorly-translated Wachootoo; The Wachootoo look suspicious]
Ace I couldn't help but notice the "equinsu ocha" part. Did you just refer to me as "White Devil"?

The Grinch's Disdain for Christmas Cheer
The Grinch Well done, Max! Serves them right, those yuletide-loving, sickly-sweet, nog-sucking cheer mongers! I really don't like em. Mm-mm. No, I don't. MAX! Get my cloak! I've been much too tolerant of these Who-venile delinquents, and their innocent, victim-less pranks. So they wanna get to know me, do they? They want to spend a little quality time with the Grinch. I guess I could use a little... social interaction.
[after Max scared off some teen Whos; angrily picks up an onion; hungrily eats the onion; Max whimpers; Max runs back inside; rubs his pits with the onion; angrily throws away the onion; turns to the camera; shows off a sinister-looking smile; the scene fades to Whoville with a view of Max and the Grinch's feet]
Whoville Bike Men Merry Christmas!
Grinch Oh, yeah. You bet, and ho, ho, ho, and... stuff. Oh, my. Someone has vandalized that vehicle. You see, Max? The city is a dangerous place.
[The bikers fall down, blocking traffic.]
Narrator The Grinch hated Christmas. The whole Christmas season.
Who Officer Top of the day.
Grinch Flatfoot.
Narrator Now please, don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason.
Grinch Hey kids. Here's a present for ya. Be sure to run real fast with it now. All right, come on. Double time. Let's go! Move, move, move, move, move!
[gives two Who girls a bandsaw]
Narrator It could be that his head wasn't screwed on just right. Or it could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight. But I think that the most likely reason of all...
Who Merry Christmas!
Grinch Is it?
Narrator ...may have been that his heart was two sizes too small.
Crazy Mose Hey, stranger! Won't let you go until you buy a chapeau!
[The Grinch lifts his mask, deeply belches, blows odor on him, making him fall. The Grinch pulls his mask back on and laughs sneakily.]

Marino Wimp.
Ventura Musclehead.
Lois Einhorn SHUT UP! I think I'll kill the dolphin first, I wouldn't want you to miss that!
Sacred Bat and the Wachati Tribe's Fate
Ace Ventura Quite an auspicious dwelling for a filthy flying weasel.
[inspects the Great White Bat's sacred hut upon entering; starts to climb up on the altar, but quickly jumps off as the Chief shouts and draws a blade on him]
Fulton Greenwall Please, Mr. Ventura! That is sacred ground! I'm sorry, but only the Wachati are allowed to step there.
Ace Ventura Hey... take it easy! I'm the loogie guy, remember?
[grins awkwardly]
Fulton Greenwall Er, yes, yes, Chief, thank you. Thank you. The Chief says that unless the Sacred Bat is returned before the marriage of the princess, the entire Wachati tribe will meet their death!
[to Ace]
Ace Ventura What type of bat are we talking about here?
Fulton Greenwall The great white bat, of course.
Ace Ventura Crepuscular chiroptera?!
[approaches him as intense music plays for a moment]
Fulton Greenwall Yes. But to the natives... Shikaka.
Ace Ventura Shikaka? Shikaka! Shikasha! Ahhh! Sssssshhhhhhhish-kebab. Sssssshhhh- "Shawshank Redemption". CHI-CA-GO! You're outta there! Go on, you're gone, go on.
[they kneel again; they kneel once more; Ace chuckles deviously; the chief begins to kneel but catches on that he didn't say the name right; Chief kneels; points outside; the Chief leaves the hut]

Investigating Motives and Humor in Crime
Aguado Homicide, Ventura. Now how you gonna solve that one?
Ace Ventura Good question, Aguado. First, I'd establish a motive. In this case the killer saw the size of the bug's dick and became insanely jealous. Then I'd lose 30 pounds...porking his wife!
Aguado Why, you-

Ace Ventura's Observational Skills on Display
Vincent Cadby Tell me, Mr. Ventura - just how good are you?
Ace Ventura You're an extreme workaholic. You recently returned from a short trip to Gotan in Northern Africa, and upon your return, you more than likely took a spill because of some... shoddy masonry work!
[inspects him for a moment; does a dramatic turn]
Vincent Cadby Very impressive. Might one ask how?
[dryly and evasively]
Ace Ventura Surely! The abrasion on the palm of your left hand is the type one sustains breaking a fall of three to five feet; the small remnants of plaster on the tip of your shoe pointed to a careless mason being the culprit; your new watch, a quality forgery of a Cartier, was most likely purchased through the North African black market known to reside in GOTAN!
[does an exaggerated inhalation of air, then speaks rapidly; gasps, having run out of breath]

Ace Ventura Yes, a workaholic. The urine stain on your pants would signify that you're a "single shake" man - far too busy for the follow-up jiggle!

Emilio Come on, now. Ace, please.
Ace Ventura What's the matter? Afraid I'll make a stink? Come on!
Emilio Aguado's working the case, all right?
Ace Ventura Aguado! Good call!
[turns and sits on the chair]
Emilio We're just a little busy now with murderers and burglaries and drug dealers. Things like that. A missing ] isn't exactly a high priority.
[[dolphin]
Ace Ventura Now you've pissed him off.
[starts to shake]
Emilio Would you give me a break?
Ace Ventura I can't hold him much longer!
[exaggerates the shakes]
Emilio My boss is coming! Okay, look. We ran a check with local animal-rights groups. We checked out the taxidermists and we already checked on van rentals. So far, nothing, nathin', nada. All right?
Ace Ventura Any unusual bets being made?
Emilio Of course! This is Super Bowl!
Ace Ventura What'd you find out about the tank?
Emilio Nothing. Tire tracks, an escape route. A guard didn't see anything.
Ace Ventura That's it?
[shines Emilio's desk lamp into Emilio's face]
Emilio I swear. Now will you please get the hell out of here before I get into trouble?
Ace Ventura Thank you for all your cooperation! By the way, do you have a mint? Perhaps some ]?

The Importance of Guano in Ace Ventura
Vincent Cadby Hello, Ace. You want your ]?
[[money]
Ace Ventura Wrong again, Sweeney Toad! I've come for the sacred bat. Where is it?!
Vincent Cadby Wait - whatever can you mean?
Ace Ventura Guano? Hello?! Does "poop" ring a bell? "Guano: mined as a source of nitrate, producing 84% of the world's supply of fertilizer, a 1.4 billion dollar industry." THAT'S what this war is all about! You can't legally take possession of the caves as long as the Wachatis inhabit the area, and you want that dookie so bad, you can taste it!
[takes out a book and reads from it; closes the book]
Fulton Greenwall But sir, I thought that--
Vincent Cadby Yes, thank you, Fulton. That's a fine theory, Mr. Ventura... What has it got to do with me?
[quietly; back to Ace]
Ace Ventura I thought you'd never ask! The day I met you, there was a white substance on your shoe that I mistook for plaster; yesterday I saw the same white substance outside the hut where the bat was kept, and suddenly it hit me: the great white bat has great white guano! That's what you stepped in, that's what was on your shoe, and that explains the abrasion on your palm! ...Let me run that back for ya! That's what you stepped in, that's what was on your shoe, AND THAT EXPLAINS THE ABRATION ON YOUR PALM! DAMN, I'M GOOD! Can you feel that?! Huh?! Can you feel it, Captain Compost?! THE DAY OF REDEMPTION IS AT HAND! REPENT... and thou shall be saved!
