  [scene of reindeer exercising] 

  Robbie : Right. When's the next bus out of town?

  Prancer : [thinks]  Uh, April.

  Robbie : [collapses]  Training it is.

• Head Elf : What happened, Robbie?

  Robbie : I got tired of sweeping, then I saw these bits of toys lying around, and I thought, I'll invent new toys. This is Sebastian Musclewhale.

  Head Elf : Do whales have arms?

  Robbie : Sebastian has three. He needs them to fight his archenemy... Octomonkey!

• Vixen : Robbie, I know you love me and would do anything to please me. I don't want you to run in the steeple chase. There, that done, lets get on with our lives.

  Robbie : Sorry, Vixen but I'm going to run. And try to win and everything.

• Donner : There's something oddly familiar about that fork lift.

  Robbie : Hi Donner.

  Rubbish : There goes the neighborhood.

• Robbie : I have decided that strength is not really my strength.

• Vixen : [as Robbie is blabbing incoherently, since he can't talk to her]  Someone sent me flowers, Robbie. I know they were from you. Do you know why? Because they were cheap.

  Robbie : [to Donner, after Vixen leaves]  But it was all the money I had.
