Sari
I am taking the f_ing children home!
Syd
When the plane's going down, the pilot knows where to dump our load and we just go and get it.
They are gonna come after me, my family, if I don't get them every penny's worth.
No, I'm not leaving without that cocaine!
Henry
I'd love to not remember this. But it kind of seems like the thing that stays with a man forever.
That was so messed up. That little man was an expert on bears, but he didn't know that bear was the cocaine bear.

Dialogue
Henry: Have you ever done cocaine?
Sari: What? Why do you ask?
Henry: Just wondering if it has long term side effects. For the bear, of course, if it just did a little bit.
Sari: Well, it could create habit for the bear.
Henry: What if it never wanted to do it again?
Sari: Oh, then it should be fine. But Mama and Papa bear would be very angry, because drugs, especially cocaine, are very, very bad.
Henry: What if they never find out?
Sari: Oh, Henry, we always find out.
Peter: Nothing can distract me from making sure the entire biological community is safe for all our friends.
Sari: Friends?
Ranger Liz: He means animals.
Peter: I don't like that word.
Ranger Liz: He doesn't like to call them animals.
Tom: [as the Cocaine Bear chases them] Shoot it! Shoot it! Damn it, not the tree, the big fucking bear!
Ranger Liz: Shut up!
Henry: Don't worry. Bears can't climb trees.
Peter: Of course they can!
Stache: We stashed it under a gazebo. Going back for it later tonight.
Daveed: A gazebo?
Stache: It's a pavilion-type structure.
Daveed: I know what the fuck a gazebo is.
Eddie: I didn't.
Ponytail: You're going to shoot him?
Ranger Liz: Hell yes I'm going to shoot him! He took a bite out of my ass!
