"We can do incredible things. We can change this country. I'm gonna win this thing. Look me in the eye, Henry, and tell me that you don't want to be a part of it."

"You don't think Abraham Lincoln was a whore before he was a president? He had to tell his little stories and smile his shit-eating back country grin, and he did it all just so he could have the opportunity to one day stand before the nation and appeal to the better angels of our nature. And that's where the bullshit stops. That's what it's all about — so we have the opportunity to do it the right way. You know as well as I do, that plenty of people playing this game, they don't think that way. They're willing to sell their souls, crawl through sewers, lie to people, divide them, play on their worst fears for nothing! Just for the prize."

"[speaking at Libby's funeral] Most of us here grew up with Libby Holden. She was our friend. She was our big sister. She bullied us, went after us, and worst of all, she remembered everything about us. All those young promises made, everything we wanted to be, everything we wanted the world to be — she remembered them all in the original wording. She wrote me a note before she died. [fighting tears as he reads it] "I am so fucking disappointed in you. Shape up!" I am so sorry that I disappointed her, and I am so sorry that I can't stand before her and promise to do better. She lent us all her warmth, her idealism, her madness. She had the most amazing heart."

"[while watching Shane] Come back, Shane. Run for president."

"Peter: [after learning about Arthur being the new Santa] You know, I've always liked Arthur. Ya think he likes espresso?"

"My aspiration for the character design was, yes, not going the “Flushed Away” route of trying to copy the stop-frame look. That was my choice. I think that Nick [Park] is one of the best character designers in the world. People don’t think of him like that, but I think he is. I think one of the things that makes his movies spectacular is his characters are fantastic. But, to me, they totally belong to Nick and they belong to stop-frame. So, in the end, I wanted them to still look like they could have only come from Aardman and that they belonged to the family. I think they do. I don’t think they look like CGI human characters from other studios. We didn’t try to make any of them cute, particularly. They weren’t trying to look appealing. They are themselves. They have a slightly rough and ready look to them."

"Ernie: Look, everyone, it's Arthur! He's delivering the present!"

"[at the house in Trelew, Mexico; the same one where Grand-Santa, Arthur and Bryony accidentally went previously] Good morning, Gwen. Ho, et cetera. Apologies for the minor delay. I'm sure that even a child can understand that in an operation as complex as Christmas, there's always an insignificant margin of error. Which is you! As a gesture, I've upgraded you to the GlamourFast Ultra X3, which retails at $9.99, more than your requested gift. Bigger, ergo better. If you wouldn't mind just signing a legal waiver? [Pedro: [confused] No lo entiendo, Señor. Soy Pedro.] P-Pedro? A boy? [Pedro: Quién es usted?] A Spanish boy?!"

"Christmas accomplished. Commence decking halls."

"How many times, Arthur? It's the North Pole. [turns around and walks away] Shut the doors!"

"[as he prepares to abandon Evie he speaks to his old reindeer] Well, this is it, old fella! Maybe the next Santa never sat in my EVIE, but Arthur did, and he's as good a man as any Santa there's ever been! Goodbye, Evie. [jumps off at the last second as missiles destroy the sleigh]"

"No one gets an unwrapped present on my watch!"

"It doesn't matter how we got here. The sleigh on the roof, the-the jingle bells, the 8 reindeer. Gwen would've never seen that."
