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.

Breaking the Cycle of History
Molly Johnson
All the world's great civilizations have followed the same path. From bondage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy back to bondage. If we are to be the exception to history, then we must break the cycle, for those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
