Verne: ['''RJ:''' Really?] Just for the record, if you had told us that all that food you were trying to get was to pay back an angry bear (like Vincent), we would have given it to you. Yeah, that's what families do. They look out for each other.

Verne: [talking to RJ, reflecting on the consequences of his actions] I shouldn't have taken all that food. I was just trying to return things to the way they were, that's all. I was just being cautious. Cause that's what I am. I'm naturally tentative. There's even places in my shell I haven't been. You, on the other hand, you're like... cool. And crazy and fearless. I think they're right. I think I'm just jealous.

Verne: [giving RJ the death glare before they're about to fall after the umbrella burns out] You're the devil.

RJ: You feel that buzz in the back of your skull? That's called sugar rush. It's what keeps the humans going. It's why they don't hibernate.

RJ: [after Verne scares away Shelby and Mackenzie with his naked body without his shell; tosses him a cookie] That was great! You, my friend, are a natural. Or should I say, "au naturel.

We eat to live, these guys live to eat! Let me show you what I'm talking about. The human mouth is called a "pie hole". The human being is called a "couch potato". That is a device to summon food. That is one of the many voices of food. That is the portal for the passing of food. That is one of the many food transportation vehicles. Humans bring the food, take the food, ship the food, they drive the food, they wear the food! That gets the food hot! That keeps the food cold! That...I'm not sure what that is. Well, what do you know? Food! That is the altar where they worship food. That's what they eat when they've eaten too much food. That gets rid of the guilt so they can eat more food! Food, food, food, food, FOOD! So, you think they have enough? Well, they don't. For humans, enough is never enough! And what do they do with the stuff they don't eat? They put it in gleaming, silver cans just for us. Dig in!
