  ["Camel Commotion"] 

  [Lionel strums his guitar and hums] 

  Mr. Griff : What a glorious day. It's bright and sunny and the birds are singing. What say we all go to the park?

  Lionel Griff : How about eating ice cream sundaes and watching scary double-feature movies?

  [He returns to strumming his guitar] 

  Stanley Griff : I think the park sounds great. I'll go! I'll go!

  ["Camel Commotion"] 

  Dennis : Camels sure know a thing or two about conserving the wet stuff. That's water, you know.

  Stanley Griff : Yeah. They can go for weeks without drinking.

  Dennis : But humans can't.

  Stanley Griff : Nope. So from now on, I'm going to remember to bring water with me when I go to the park.

  [He takes a drink from his canteen] 

  Stanley Griff : Mmm, that tastes great.

  Dennis : You said it, Stanley.

  [He takes a drink from his own canteen and both giggle] 

  Stanley Griff : Good night, Dennis.

  Dennis : Good night, camel boy.

• Stanley Griff : I hate my snowsuit. I feel like a big ball of dough when I'm wearing it.

  Dennis : Well, it may be a little bulky, Stanley, but it will keep you warm.

  Stanley Griff : Oh, my red jacket will be warm enough. Besides... I'll wear my scarf and hat.

• Mrs. Joyce Griff : Stanley Griff, you know I told you to wear your snowsuit. What were you thinking, going outside in that thin little red jacket of yours?

  Stanley Griff : I didn't think it would be so cold.

  Mrs. Joyce Griff : You're not a polar bear, you know.

  Stanley Griff : I guess I'm not. How can polar bears stand living in all that cold and snow anyway?

• Marci : [regarding polar bears]  I wonder what it's like being one.

  Stanley Griff : Me too.

  Dennis : If you really want to know, let's go into the polar bear's world.

  Stanley Griff : Yeah! Let's do it!

  Harry , Elsie : [singing]  Now we're going online to find out everything / We'll surf the Internet for the answers it can bring.

  Dennis : Why don't you two just sign off?

  Harry , Elsie : The World Wide Web's the way to go / To find the things we need to know.

• Stanley Griff : Polar bears sure have great coats.

  Elsie : Having your own built-in fur snowsuit sure comes in handy.

• [last lines] 

  ["There's Snow Place Like Home"] 

  Stanley Griff : Well, good night, everybody.

  Elsie , Harry : Good night, Stanley.

  Dennis : Good night, polar bear boy. Stay warm.

  [all laugh]
