- The Mouse Child: Papa, I'm afraid! I wanna go home! What's gonna happen to us?
- The Mouse: Well, something good, son, as easily as something else. Why, anything can happen.
- Manny the Rat: But it won't! Not this evening, my lads!
- The Mouse: [after witnessing Ralphie dismantle the donkey] That was horrible!
- The Mouse Child: You're a bad rat!
- Manny the Rat: You noticed?
- The Frog: It's been very slow, boss. These are hard times for oracles.
- Manny the Rat: For incompetent ones.
- The Frog: Are you sayin' that my charms don't work? That my potions don't heal? That my fortunes are false?
- Manny the Rat: Of course. That's why I hired you.
- The Frog: What would you have from the future? It could be anything you like.
- The Mouse Child: I want the Elephant to be my mama.
- The Mouse: You what - ?
- The Mouse Child: And the Seal to be my sister. And we'll all live together in the toy store.
- The Frog: An elephant? That's rather a large order. And you?
- The Mouse: I don't want anything given to me. I want something taken away.
- The Frog: What's that?
- The Mouse: Our key. The world being what it is, we'd be better off if we were free to wind ourselves.
- The Mouse: [underwater] Please, take us to the surface
- The Mouse Child: ...And wind us up
- C. Serpentina: Wind you up? Hm'... In what sense?
- Manny the Rat: [after getting his teeth knocked out by the "you will succeed" pendant] Bawww! No teef! I'm finished! What is a rat wif no teef!
- The Mouse Child: Oh, uncle Frog, it *is* coming true. All of it!
- Manny the Rat: [shows up, crazed with revenge] Not quite, my little lovelies, not quite!
- [the mice, Frog, Kingfisher and Seal shiver in fear]
- Manny the Rat: It's nice to see you again. I have missed your company.
- The Frog: No, no you don't! Not this time, Manny Rat!
- Manny the Rat: Yes I do, Frog! THIS TIME!
- Manny the Rat: [quivers in fear at seeing the Bonzo can appearing] "A dog shall rise, a rat shall fall"? The Frog's prophecy, can it be coming true? Should I have listened to him?
- Iggy: Not *this* rat.
- The Mouse Child: I wanna go home.
- Manny the Rat: The very place I had in mind. Come on, now, my lovelies, I'm taking you home.
- The Mouse Child: We're going back to the toy shop?
- The Mouse: I don't think that's the home he's talking about.
- Manny the Rat: Frog, you're fired!
- The Frog: For bein' a fraud?
- Manny the Rat: For being a failure *as* a fraud!
- Ralphie: [talking to himself] Now, let's see, first thing, I go, uh, in the morning I go to the, um, uh, the guard!
- The Mouse Child: No, the manager.
- The Mouse: Son, don't help him. They'll make us thieves soon enough.
- The Frog: Tell you your fortune? Give me your palm.
- The Mouse Child: [indicating their permanently linked hands] We don't have one.
- The Frog: Can't read your hand. Well, no matter, I'll just read your feet.
- Ralphie: Their feet?
- The Frog: An ancient form of divination taught to me by the praying mantis of the Babylonian persuasion.
- Manny the Rat: Home. Modest, perfect, even humble. But didn't Lincoln start out in a log cabin? Yes, he did. And I have my plans, I have my plans: An empire, built on these... the sharpest teeth in the dump. One day, one day, it will all be MINE!
- The Mouse: And what will you do with us?
- Manny the Rat: [points at a parade of wind-up slaves marching in and carrying food for him]
