Larry Kenney: Lion-O

Quotes 

• Lion-O : Oh, pretty soon, you'll be jumping at your own shadow.

  Snarf : Who, me? Old Snarf isn't afraid of noth - YAA!

  Lion-O : [laughs]  See?

  Snarf : When you're fierce like me, you throw a fierce shadow, that's all.

• Lion-O : [when he turns around and lets out several battle-yelps suddenly at nothing]  Nice going, Snarf. You scared 'em clear out of sight.

• Lion-O : What's the matter with you, Snarf? That thing was twice your size.

  Snarf : That don't faze me. Just so you see that everything I see isn't shadows and imagination.

  Lion-O : Never thought that for a second.

• Snarf : *Now* where are they taking us?

  Lion-O : Maybe I'd better, uh, keep my fightin' spirit in check 'til we find out.

• Lion-O : [finally understanding what their speech means]  I think they're *called* Berbils, Snarf. RoBear Berbils.

  Snarf : That's not what I'd be callin' 'em.

• Lion-O : Those stun-darts aren't doing much good.

  RoBear Bill : No. They never do.

  Lion-O : Then, why do you use them?

  RoBear Bill : Because we would not want to hurt anyone.

  Lion-O : Then why don't you just let the Trollogs march into your village and take your RoBear Berbil fruit?

  RoBear Bill : And behave like cowards?

  Lion-O : [sighing in frustration]  I don't get it!

  Snarf : I dunno; makes perfect sense to me.

• Lion-O : Anyway, the Trollogs shouldn't be bothering you for a while.

  RoBear Bill : No, poor Trollogs.

  Lion-O : You feel sorry for them? Even though they keep raiding your village for your RoBear Berbil fruit?

  RoBear Bill : Oh, they don't do that for themselves. Trollogs don't eat Berbil fruit. They can't eat anything but the fruit on the trollberry bushes. The mountains above their caves are covered with those bushes. But the Giantours who live there won't let the Trollogs pick from them, unless they bring them Robear Berbil fruit. And now, the Trollogs must return empty-handed. Oh, the Giantours will be *furious*.

• RoBear Bill : Thank you, Lion-O. And please, thank your friends again too.

  Lion-O : They're your friends too, RoBear Bill.

• Lion-O : I think there's something peculiar about that swarm.

  [runs toward them, they merge into one giant insect as he stops] 

  Lion-O : Uh, in fact, I know there's something peculiar about it.

• RoBear Bill : [pointing to the blueprint]  Your home?

  Tygra : Yes. Well - it *will* be. We'll be building it right up there.

  RoBear Bill : You will build it? Just you few?

  Lion-O : Oh, it will take quite a while, of course, but...

  RoBear Bill : Please.

  [huddles with the others then turns back to them] 

  RoBear Bill : We will help you build your home.

  Tygra : Well, thank you, but we couldn't allow you to. It's much too great an undertaking for...

  RoBear Bill : You said we were friends. Friends help each other.

  Lion-O : [to the one who is already grinning]  He has a point, Tygra.
