  [grabs milk carton] 

  Kowalski : missing!

  [shows milk carton with a big 'missing' advert for the private] 

  Skipper : Missing? Hoover Dam! Wait, there he is. He just went to bed.

  [slapping the pin]

• Skipper : [following a group of nuns]  Blend! Blend!

• Kowalski : Oh, no. He must be out there all by himself.

  Skipper : He's one of us, men. You all know the Penguin Credo.

  Kowalski : Never bathe in hot oil and Bisquick?

  Skipper : No.

  [Rico speaks Japanese gibberish] 

  Skipper : No, that's the Walrus Credo. It's "Never swim alone." Private's out there all by himself, and we never leave one of our own.

  Kowalski : Oh, yeah.

  Skipper : Let's go.

• Private : Thanks for rescuing me, Skipper.

  Skipper : Think nothing of it, young Private. It's the least we could do. You remember the Penguin Credo.

  Private : What does deep-frying in Bisquick have to do with any of this?

  Skipper : Not that one, the other one! "Never swim alone!" Alone! On Christmas! Don't you get it? Come on people, do I have to explain this to everybody?

• Skipper : He's in trouble.

  Rico : [starts to light a stick of dynamite]  Kaboom!

  Skipper : Stand down, soldier. We're in observation mode.

• Skipper : Engage cranberries!

• Skipper : Kowalski, analysis!

  Kowalski : [eats some snow]  Mmm... Adrenaline, sweat and sardines. These tracks are fresh sir!

  Skipper : He's close... I can feel it.

• Skipper : Shitake mushrooms! No more Mr. Cute and Cuddly.

  Rico : [grabs stang of dynamite]  Kaboom-kaboom-kaboom!

  Skipper : Rico! Enough with the dynamite already!

  Rico : [sighs disappointed]  Aww.

• Skipper : [to the penguins]  Holy butterball!

• [the old lady's dog, Mr. Chew, starts eating Private's Christmas sock, while Private's in it] 

  Private : Nice doggy! Good Doggy! No, good boy! No! No! Don't eat me! No!

  [Mr. Chew comes closer to Private and Private starts to panic] 

  Private : Leave me alone! Don't eat me! AAAH!

  [Skipper, Kowalski and Rico break in through a window, landing safely on a table] 

  Skipper : Santa Claus has come to town!

  Private : Ooh, Skipper.

• Private : But no-one should be sad and alone on Christmas!

  Skipper : Exactly! So throw those troubles away and be merry!

• Skipper : [as Rico hold an anvil above the elderly lady's head]  Rico! She didn't see anything!

• Skipper : [to Rico playing the "Knife game" at the dinner table]  Rico! Not at the table.

• Skipper : Excelente!

• Skipper : [following Old Lady]  Not on my watch, Blue Hair!

  Rico : [Lights a fuse]  Ka-boom! Ka-boom!

  Skipper : I have a better idea.

  [Puts out the fuse] 

  Rico : Oh.
