Quotes 

• Puff : [eating homework]  Arithmatic. Ketchup goes well with lower mathematics.

• Sandy : Puff, look!

  Puff : That is the famous purple cow that no one has ever seen.

  Sandy : And the pink elephant?

  Puff : That some see too often.

• Sandy : Who's that?

  Puff : Kilroy. Always was there, and never was anywhere.

• Prosecuting Attorney : Little girl, isn't it true you zipped the zapper when you snipped the snoo?

  Sandy : I can't understand him.

  Puff : Because he's the prosecuting attorney: a genuine flim-flam.

  Prosecuting Attorney : And furthermore, you frightened the flip by frying the frisbee. Uh-huh, and therefore I put to case that all the while the fluster flittered, your velocipede matriculated. DIDN'T YOU?

• Sandy : Where are we?

  Puff : Oh, a long way from your house, I'm sure.

• Puff : Don't you think it's odd that I, a dragon, should eat homework for lunch? Of course it's odd, for it never happened. It was a falsehood, a canard, a prevarication. Oh, why beat about the bush. It was a silly lie told by a little girl named Sandy.

• Sandy : [scornfully of the ficticious specimens]  Oh, those are silly lies.

  Puff : No, those are *fanciful* lies. And harmless fantasy's OK. And it's fun, too. I mean, I'm part-fantasy.
