"My name is Flint Lockwood. My whole life I always wanted to be a great inventor. Just like my hero. It was like Chester V was speaking directly to me using the language of science. Just like Chester V, my dream was to make the world a better place. Unfortunately, a lot of people didn't believe in me. But I never gave up. I did not realize mistake until… too late! I’ve accidentally created Hair Eater! And eventually, I invented this: A machine that could turn water into food! Because of my invention's food weather, I finally made the world a better place. Or so I thought. When the weather evolved into a disaster of epic portions, and the machine started creating dangerous living food, I had to face the truth: It was time to put an end to my FLDSMDFR. By destroying my greatest invention, I made something even better… Friends!"

"The Celebrationator! A party in a box for any occasion."

"Mom gave me this lab coat because, she always dreamed I do great things."

"The FLDSMDFR survived the explosion, and it's still operating!"

"When we land at Swallow Falls, our first objective is to get to my lab. I can use my old computer to pinpoint the FLDSMDFR's location. Once we find it, we can shut it down with the utterly irreplaceable BS-USB. (Brent: What if you don't find it?) I have to. It's my machine. If the world gets destroyed by these, it's my fault. [holds up a drawing of a cheespider] I can't let that happen."

"[upon seeing the food animals] Wow, I can't believe the FLDSMDFR created all of this."

"[narrating] I wanted to run away that day...but you can't run away from your own feet."

"From that moment on, I was determined to invent something great."

"[narrating] My dream was to help my hometown, a tiny island hidden under the "A" in "Atlantic", called Swallow Falls. We were famous for sardines until the day the Baby Brent Sardine Cannery closed for good right after everyone in the world realized that sardines are super gross. Soon, all of us were stuck eating the sardines that no one else wanted. Poached, fried, boiled, dried, candied, and juiced. Life became gray and flavorless. But when all seemed lost, I stared at defeat and found hope. My name is Flint Lockwood. And I was about to invent a machine that turns water into food."

"Everyone is going to love this."

"[narrating] It had been almost 10 years since Mom died. And Dad still didn't understand me like she did."

"[running up to the power station] This is a great idea."

"[seeing everyone crossly chewing him out while trapped in the giant fish bowl after destroying Sardine Land; defeated] Ay, Papi."

"[demonstrating to Sam Sparks about how the FLDSMDFR works] Water goes in the top, and food comes out the bottom."

"[Sam: Jell-O's my favorite!] You never made a request, so... I made one for you."

"[while playing a Jell-O piano] Everything's made of Jell-O! This piano, those sconces, that ghetto blaster, that Jell-O, that aquarium, that Venus de Milo with your face on it next to a Michelangelo's David that also has your face."

"[to Tim, about wanting to turn off his invention; coldly] It's making everybody happy! Everybody except you. When are you going to accept that this is who I am instead of trying to get me to work in some boring tackle shop?"

"[seeing big hot dogs all around] These are big hot dogs."

"[explaining to Mayor Shelbourne about the food being over-mutated] This is the molecular structure of a hot dog that fell last week. And this is the molecular structure of a hot dog that fell today. The machine uses microwave radiation to mutate the genetic recipe of the food. The more we ask it to make, the more clouds it takes in, the more radiation it emits, the more these food molecules could over-mutate. I think that's why the food is getting bigger."

"[seeing a spaghetti tornado] Mamma mia."

"For the first time in my life, everybody loves something that I've done."

"I've gotta stop the machine! Everyone's in danger because of me!"

"I tried to help everybody, but instead I ruined everything. I'm just a piece of junk. So I threw myself away...Along with all these dumb inventions. [holds up his Spray-On-Shoes spray can to Tim] This is junk. [then holds up his Hair Un-Balder] This is junk. [points to himself] This is junk."

"Mom was wrong about me. I'm not an inventor. I should've just quit when you said."

"[as Tim holds up his lab coat he lost from the spaghetti tornado] My coat."

"Come on, Steve. We've got a diem to carpe!"

"When it rains, you put on a coat...of Spray-On Shoes!"

"What is the number one problem facing our community today? Untied shoelaces. Which is why I've invented a lace-less alternative foot covering. Spray-On-Shoes!"

"I don't understand fishing metaphors!"

"Everyone just thinks I'm a weirdo."

"A professional-grade lab coat. Just like the real guys wear! [tries it on] It fits perfect!"

"Can you believe it, Manny? Temporary professional meteorologist. Whoo!"

"[looks closely at Flint's shoes] What is going on with your feet? (Flint: Spray-On-Shoes. They don't come off.)"

"Thanks, Patrick. Okay, everyone, you're not going to believe this one, but I'm standing in the middle of a burger rain. You may have seen a meteor shower, but you have never seen a shower "meatier" than this. For a town stuck eating sardines, this is totally manna from heaven."

"[surprised while entering Flint's lab] Wow, you seriously spend a lot of time alone."

"Well, those cheeseburgers were only the beginning, because a breakfast system is on its way to Swallow Falls. My forecast? Sunny side up."
