• Hubie : Hey Rocko! What do you call a flower before it opens?

  Rocko : What?

  Hubie : What do you call a flower before it opens?

  Rocko : A bud.

  Hubie : I love it when you call me bud!

  Rocko : [Groans] 

• Rocko : Hey, Hubie, you forgot your blasted pebble!

  Hubie : My Pebble? My Pebble! Rocko, you found it!

  Rocko : Don't just stand there, Romeo. Give the girl the pebble.

  Hubie : Do you like it?

  Marina : I love it.

  Rocko : She'd better.

  Hubie : Good.

  Marina : But don't you know? It's not the pebble, it's the penguin. I love you even more.

• Hubie : I wonder how far it is to Antarctica

  Rocko : 3000 miles in that direction. But you'll never get there. I'll give it three days tops and you'll be in the belly of anything from a killer whale, to a sardine!

• Hubie : Everybody knows that penguins can't fly!

  Rocko : You're wrong! You are dead wrong! Our ancestors flew! They gave us wings when we can't fly?! I mean, I mean whose idea of a cruel joke is this?

• Hubie : My pebble!

  Rocko : Pebble? Your pebble? Forget about your blasted pebble! I don't wanna hear "pebble" from you.

• Hubie : Goodness glaciers, what was that?

  Rocko : Looked like a killer whale.

  Hubie : It was... bigger than a... leopard seal!

  Rocko : Twice as big, twice as fast and twice as mean.

  Hubie : Oh, good.

  Rocko : But... that's not the worst part.

  Hubie : Wonderful! What's the worst part?

  Rocko : Killer whales always travel in groups.

  Hubie : What?

  Rocko : Groups!

  Hubie : Oh, no.

  Rocko : Big groups! Lots! Oodles and oodles!

• Hubie : Goodness Glaciers!

• Hubie : Oh, Marina. Will you be my Mate?

  Marina : I thought you never ask.

• Hubie : Starlight Star bright, First star I see tonight. Wish I may, Wish I might have the wish I wish tonight!
