- Billy Twofeathers: I dunno, maybe because you tied him up, you didn't take him for a walk, you didn't feed him, and you didn't clean up after him.
- Schemer: [sarcastically, as Billy walks off] Anything else?

- Dan Jones: You look like you stepped in a mud-puddle, Mr. Conductor.
- Mr. Conductor: It was more like the mud-puddle stepped on me.
- Stacy Jones: Well, that's amazing, Mr. Conductor; I didn't know you understood Dog.
- Mr. Conductor: Of course I do. I can speak every language from Elephant to Parakeet. But you have to be careful with parakeets. They like to bend the truth just to make what they say rhyme.
