Dr. Terminus : I hate Pa - pa - Pastahazootie, or whatever the name of this town is.

Pete : I can't sell you Elliot. I don't own him.
Hoagy : Well what did you do, rent him?
Dr. Terminus : Well who owns him?
Pete : Well, nobody, I guess. He just came to me. He only goes to those who need him.
Dr. Terminus : *I* need him!
Nora : Listen Doc, I don't know what you're up to but you better forget about this. He's not for sale.
Dr. Terminus : [passing Pete's brush over to Nora] Nora, go paint your lighthouse. Pete, my boy, you're conversant with Elliot! Now talk to him. Tell him how much I need him! Look, deliver Elliot to me the fiver is yours, plus a bottle of my medicine that's guaranteed to bring on puberty two years ahead of time. And that's better than a dragon!

Dr. Terminus : [explaining the plan to capture Elliott to Hoagy] Got it?
Hoagy : Got it. What I don't got is, how are you gonna get that monster, that hideous beast, that nightmare sent by the devil to come here?
Dr. Terminus : Easy, we get someone he knows to bring him here.
Hoagy : Who'd be crazy enough to do that?

Hoagy : [screams] NOOOOO! NOOOOOO!
Dr. Terminus : He knows you, he trusts you!
Hoagy : He scares me! He hates ME!

Dr. Terminus : [learning of Elliot's existence] Do you think this kid Pete would sell it?

Dr. Terminus : First there's a dragon, now he tells me money talks. Will miracles never cease?
