"[opening lines] Ladies and gentlemen, this is Simon Barsinister, the wickedest man in the world. He was evil and crazy. Simon and his wacky henchmen, Cad, schemed to rule the universe. But each time, they were foiled by me, the greatest superhero who ever lived, Underdog!"
"Excuse me, why do you people have pantyhose on your heads?"
"Turns out, Barsinister didn't want me, he wanted my DNA. He took away my superpowers and put them in a little blue pill but that wasn't the worst of it."
"Right, talking dog will try to make things normal."
"But I doubt there was a ham tied to the capitol building."
"You can put the doggy door there!"
"When old ladies are falling, I'm not slow, and it's a hip-hip-hip and away I go!"
"There's no need to worry, Underdog is furry! No, that's not it."
"There's no need to fright, Underdog's got bite! Nope, that's not it either."
"There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! Hey, that's pretty good. I think I'll keep that one."
"It's OK. You all make mistakes. But I forgive you.That's the kind of person I am...humble."
"Don't worry, it will only hurt a lot."
"It should be me on the front page, not that stupid mutt. I need a sample of his DNA. How do you look in a dress?"
"[repeated line] Simon says…"
"After him!"
"Shoeshine, isn't it? Or shall I address you by your nom de guerre, Underdog. [Shoeshine: It's "Shoeshine".] [Dan: He can talk?]"
"You know what the saddest part is? You thought they loved you but they only loved the power that I gave you."
"I'll play your game, but it'll be a stretch. Can you resist this?"
"I'll be the silent partner."
"Cad's hit. Cad's hit."
"I bought myself a thesaurus."
"Shoeshine I don't know if you can understand me right now, but forget about the past. It doesn't matter if you're Shoeshine or Underdog. Because I don't care if you can talk or fly. You brought my family back together. You're a hero to me."
"Where, oh, where, can my Underdog be?"

Young though he was, his radiant energy produced such an impression of absolute reliability that Hedgewar made him the first sarkaryavah, or general secretary, of the RSS.
- Gopal Mukund Huddar
Largely because of the influence of communists in London, Huddar's conversion into an enthusiastic supporter of the fight against fascism was quick and smooth. The ease with which he crossed from one worldview to another betrays the fact that he had not properly understood the world he had grown in.
Huddar would have been 101 now had he been alive. But then centenaries are not celebrated only to register how old so and so would have been and when. They are usually celebrated to explore how much poorer our lives are without them. Maharashtrian public life is poorer without him. It is poorer for not having made the effort to recall an extraordinary life.
I regret I was not there to listen to Balaji Huddar's speech [...] No matter how many times you listen to him, his speeches are so delightful that you feel like listening to them again and again.
By the time he came out of Franco's prison, Huddar had relinquished many of his old ideas. He displayed a worldview completely different from that of the RSS, even though he continued to remain deferential to Hedgewar and maintained a personal relationship with him.
