Quotes 

• Gus : Stop saying that! He can't be a troll because there's no such thing as... trolls. Uh-oh, talking flowers. This is weird. Come on Rosie we'd better go home now.

  Stanley : Go - you mean leave? You're going to take Rosie away from me?

  Gus : You got it space man!

• [Stanley is too scared to go confront Gnorga] 

  Stanley : Yeah but what can I do?

  Gus : [while grabbing his boat from Stanley]  What about all of your powers, "Mr. Yougottabelievegreenthumb?"

  Stanley : Oh, no, no, my presidentigiation, is no match for Gnorga's mag...

  Gus : [interrupting]  Oh sure! You're just saying that, because your scared to fight her!

  [All of the flowers gasp in shock] 

  Stanley : I can't, oh Gnorga, you know Gnorga, she'll destroy me, she'll marbleize me!

  Gus : Well I'm not scared!

  [the flowers abandon Stanley to go with Gus] 

  Stanley : [sheepishly]  I'd help you if I could but I can't, she'll turn me to stone, and I don't want to be "rockinized."

  [Stanley pauses for a few seconds before lunging forward] 

  Stanley : Gus! Don't you understand? In the troll world, darkness always triumphs over light?

  Gus : Know what Stanley? You'll never have a dream come true, and you know why? Because your too scared to fight for what you believe in.

  [Gus pauses for a second, then throws his boat down at Stanley] 

  Gus : You're a COWARD!

  [Gus and the flowers leave while Stanley looks at the boat as it falls in the water]
