Tortellini Would you be so kind as to GET ME OUT OF HERE?! [he tosses Mozart out of sight] Get lost, you nuisance. I can better than Michael Jackson and Elvis put together. Gwendolyn I swear by Aunt Wanda, we'll pay them back. Fear may be contagious, but so is courage, my friends. Buster [after electrocuting two men and two dogs] Even the most gentle dog has his limits. Fred [ hanging upside down in a tree after being saved by the wasps] Where am I? Who am I? Am I in Heaven? Usually, I walk. And I sing. Wow, I never heard such a beautiful song before. I know what I want. I want us to stay together as long as we live, because together we can do anything.
