  Hoppopotamus : This Hoppo wants to be the potamus of high fashion, ha ha.

  [the seat she's in falls over]

  [feeling the feeling tapping her] 

  Hoppopotamus : Bug off. This is my big moment... Look. One damsel in distress at a time. Take a number.

• Hoppopotamus : You mean you picked me up in your arms and carried me to safety, just like Buckswashler did with Daintybelle?

  Bumblelion : Well... something like that.

• Bumblelion : All right then. I'll go to the castle. I'll wrestle that monster. I'll get those butterberries and make Wuz safe for Wuzlkind. But there's one thing I need you ladies to do...

  Butterbear , Hoppopotamus , Transylvia : What?

  Bumblelion : [whimper after another Gorantula roar]  Talk me outta this.

• Hoppopotamus : Touch that dial and I'll tie your tail in a knot.

• Hoppopotamus : [to the roaring Boarfish in the moat]  Quiet! I'm more potamus than you can swallow.

  [they shut up] 

• Hoppopotamus : Surely you don't expect me to wade through that. I'll ruin my hooficure.

  Bumblelion : OK. Then you wait here. I'll rescue Butterbelle - uh, Butterbear myself.

  Hoppopotamus : Butterbelle? Over my dead potamus!

• Hoppopotamus : I look like Daintybum!
