"This is the Slime Carnival. They're weird around here."

"Jack talks big sometimes and it usually gets him into trouble."

"I bet no other carnival in the whole country has an all-penguin band."

"Anyone who'd work for Lyman Slime has got to be desperate... or a clown."

"Now, he may seem a little gruff, but don't let that bother you. He's really just a big pussy cat."

"[Stripes: A-ha!] We want to know what your little secret is! We have a right to know!"

"Oh, dry up, Elizabeth!"

"Mr. Grizzly! Oh, thank goodness!"

"Great Gorillas! Now what's the matter?!"

"There's only one way get to the bottom of all this. We'll just have to ask them."

"What are you looking at? It's just my allergies acting up. I must be allergic to dogs..."

"According to our notes, you've been doing a lot of tapping and dancing in some infernal code that I just can't break! What are you doing, taking dance lessons or something?"

"Oh, this is terrible!"

"Oh, you're so thoughtful."

"I think I'm going to cry."

"And I need my hankies for... for when I... cry!"

"Yes, siree!"

"I'm the owner here. Jack's the name. Fast-Talking Jack."

"Mr. P. Nutty, chief executive in charge of nut sales. All nutty, all the time!"

"Well, when you play for Lyman Slime, that's all you need to know."

"You want anything done around here, you gotta do it yourself!"

"Edna: The fresher they are, the better they sting."

"Mrs. Larue: I bang my cane for many different things."

"Clyde: When we were little, you always won."

"Boy with Glasses: My dad's scarier than that."

"Andrew: Please get up!"

"Katie: Hey, Andrew, I scared the kitty cat."

"Ice Cream Kid: I don't want any change. Mommy says I can ride the horsey as long as I want."

"Squinty Pete: Step right up, folks! You haven't been to the carnival till you've whomped a weasel! They're fast, furry, and fun. And it doesn't hurt 'em a bit!"

"Abner: I can do lots of things, but I can't make people listen to me."

"Pete: There goes one fine pizza pig."

"Mayor: In light of the world class entertainment these folks provide, I'm happy to declare next Friday Carnival Day!"
