Bobo : I got bit by a rattlesnake in a very embarasing place. Had to suck the poison out myself.
Pearl Forrester : I'll never eat again.
Bobo : Then got stung by a scorpion. Oh, found the motherload of deer ticks. Uh, sat in some sandbur. Say, got mauled by a bear. Buried me so he could eat me later, and I had to dig my way out.
-
Mike Nelson : Oh, hey Gyps'. What happened to the zucchini throw pillow things that Mrs. Forrester sent us?
Gypsy : I put them in a safe place.
Mike Nelson : Okay, and where's that?
Gypsy : Some place where you would meet a horrible demise before laying your polluting fingers upon them.
Tom Servo : So you put them in Mike's laundry basket?
-
Bobo : Nelson, I see your point. You may be onto something. The Universe is in danger but don't you worry, no-siree Bob, I'm on the job. I'll stop these two wretched creatures and foil their little plan. I'll mmm-hmm-hmm-mmm.

Joel : [reading the manual to disarm the Isaac Asmov doomsday device] Step One: It will be very enjoyable for you to separate the ocular filter coupling up from the decapacitor which is stout... and yellow sometimes." Crow, you better scan this and give me the instructions.
Crow T. Robot : [scans for about a second] Got it!
Joel : Oh, brother...
Crow T. Robot : Ooookaaay. "Most very kindly, find the Lookie Switch which is nice and sitting there with green label which leaves you singing."
Joel : I *think* I got it...

Tom Servo : Hi, everyone, kind of a tough moment. We just tapped into earth's geneology records and discovered the cause of this simian holocaust. You see, virtually every single one of Mike's decendants married apes!
Mike Nelson : Come on, all my grandkids?
Crow : Yep.
Mike Nelson : What about great grandchildren?
Crow : Checking... yes! Francis Nelson married a macaque, otherwise they all married great apes.
Tom Servo : You can see why he's upset folks.
Crow : Thomas Ryan Nelson married a slow lorus. Kevin R.W. Nelson, probably a great great grandchild, who married a ruffed lemur... Yep! Your family liked its monkeys Mike!
Mike Nelson : Thomas Ryan Nelson married a slow lorus. Kevin R.W. Nelson, probably a great great grandchild, who married a ruffed lemur... Yep! Your family liked its monkeys Mike!
Crow : Oh it was quite unusual... hey hey hey hey, here's a Wilburt H. Nelson who married a Sara Thompson of Oak Park Illinois. Uh Ohhh... seems he kept an aye aye in an apartment downtown. Ha hoo hoo, this is not pretty stuff. Here's a W.D. Nelson who married eight times... silverbacked gorilla, one two and three, then he picked up a penchant for a bonobo and married those four times before wedding a japanese snow monkey on a day before...
Mike Nelson : OK, OK Crow, I think everyones heard enough. I think we all get the point.
Crow : Mike I think I speak for all of us when I say... GOOD ONE NELSON!
Tom Servo : I'm locking up my sock monkey, I'll give you that much for free.
-
Tom Servo : You... little pan woman!
-
Tom Servo : This is a story about a robot named Crow. Can you guess what Crow has been thinking? Crow has been thinking hard... or as hard as he can think anyway... on how the satellite has been so darn clean. It wasn't clean this morning, so think hard, Crow. Think really hard Crow - you poor dope. Scan that scrap heap you call a brain and...
Crow T. Robot : Hey, knock it off!
Tom Servo : [as different images of Gypsy are shown] Oh, sorry. Ah, yes. Who does these things when we're too lazy or too bloated on dinners of rich food and generous portions of our own gargantuan ego? Who debugs the massive computer control center because our own feeble brains can't add fractions? Who provides the water in which you could bathe your filthy oil-stained carcass? Who goes on mind-bendingly dangerous missions on the outside in cold unforgiving space while you sit cozy sipping cocoa and watching Tiny Toons? Pinch yourself hard, Mr. Robot. You deserve it. You think you're all sunshine and goodness, but you're just dirt between the toes of an evil troll. That's right. Who periodically changes the plutonium rods in the nuclear bowels deep inside the nuclear reactor of the ship while you sit feasting on gooey handfuls of Fiddle Faddle and play hopscotch and marbles and spring in the...
Crow T. Robot : Hey just a darn blasting minute. What are you trying to do, lay it all on me? You're the laziest robot I've ever seen!
Tom Servo : Oh, I see, It's me now is it. It's too painful to look into the deep dark truthful mirror, eh. You make me sick.
Crow T. Robot : [as Gypsy enters] I thought you looked sick but it's always hard to tell with you.
[both see Gypsy]
Crow T. Robot : I gotta go clean my room now.
Tom Servo : I gotta go clean his room too.
-
Tom Servo : Thoughts of sex distracted me and now I have to immolate myself to subdue the buzzing in my head.
-
Tom Servo : Ow! You shot my butt! What the hell? You shot me in the butt!
-
Tom Servo : Is he a turnip that grew a face?
-
Tom Servo : Uh-oh. Hilarity, guys. Not since the pie-fight scene in "The Great Race"...
Crow T. Robot : Not since the mudslide scene in "McClintock"...
Joel : Not since the wagon race scene in "The Hallelujah Trail"...
Crow T. Robot : Not since the chess-playing scene in "The Seventh Seal"...
Tom Servo : Not since the orgy scene in "Caligula"...
Joel : Huh?
Crow T. Robot : What?
Tom Servo : Um... well, hilarity, anyway.
-
Tom Servo : He always offers me beef.
-
Tom Servo : Okay, what are we looking at and why are we looking at it?
-
Joel : Okay, my little robot friends, but we only pass this way once. This is called "The Godzilla Genealogy Bop." Will you hit it, Professor Cambot? In order to know Godzilla, we've gotta look into his past.
Crow T. Robot : You know studying genealogy is gonna be a blast!
Joel : Ahh, you've got it, little robot pal, we're swinging into high.
Tom Servo : C'mon, let's cut to the chase, ya couple of geeks, and get to the family tree!
Joel : Well, it started with a nuclear blast and pets that were released.
Crow T. Robot , Tom Servo : Oh, like baby alligators and other nasty beasts?
Joel : The fusion reaction caused them to grow a thousand times their size.
Crow T. Robot : Well, that explains Godzilla's attractive tail and thunderous thighs!
Joel : Right. Now you're getting it little buddy, but now we must move on. Godzilla's not the only one to benefit from the A-Bomb.
Tom Servo : Yeah, look! There's Auntie Ness of Scotland's loch! They were married in the spring. And their first born was Godzookie, and now we begin to sing...
Crow T. Robot : Godzookie went to Hollywood, an agent to the stars. He had an affair with Lorna Luft and smoked those big cigars!
Tom Servo : And out of the lusty Luft affair Ron Pearlman resulted. Hmm.
Joel : You know, surgery was considered for him, but nobody was consulted. Oh, I did it again.
Crow T. Robot : Then Ron met Yoko Ono and they began to spawn. A couple of hundred horrible things as green as Forest Lawn.
Tom Servo : There they are: There's Kermit the Frog, the Swamp Thing, Hulk and Ernest Borgnine, too!
Crow T. Robot : But Ernest Borgnine isn't green!
Tom Servo : Well you put him on a boat and he is!
Joel , Crow T. Robot : What?
Tom Servo : Hey! Who's that down at the bottom, a-wallowing in his shame?
Crow T. Robot : Oh that's just Steve Guttenberg of Police Academy fame.
Tom Servo : Huh.
Joel : To wrap it up, the worst mutation...
Crow T. Robot : No, you don't suppose?
Tom Servo : Oh, yes it is! The horror of horrors!
Joel , Crow T. Robot , Tom Servo : KARL MALDEN'S NOSE!

Mike Nelson : Ham radio?
Crow : Mistook it for an actual ham.
Mike Nelson : There, the Satellite of Love is completely unsafe. Hey, does anything work?
Tom Servo : Yeah, the toaster over. We used it to bake the ham radio. Mmmm.
Mike Nelson : Oh, OK, well then. We're dead. We'll be right back
Crow : Come on, Mike, we're gonna go stick our heads in the towel dispenser.
Tom Servo : Weeee.

Tom Servo : Is the FILM grainy, or are these GUYS just kinda grainy?

Tom Servo : Yep, that first morning beer is always the best.

Crow : Italians?
Mike Nelson : Crow. That's getting off the point.
Crow : You're right. Uhh... Germans?

Japanese reporter : I got pictures of your spaceship.
