Martin Huston: Skipper

Quotes 

• Kaseem : Have you finished your history lesson for today, Little Sahib?

  Skipper : Yes, Kaseem. I know it cold.

  Kaseem : Very well, we'll see. Where was the Magna Carta signed?

  Skipper : The Magna Carta...

  Kaseem : That's right - sometimes called the Great Charter. Where was it signed?

  Skipper : Well, uh... at the bottom?

  Kaseem : Cold is right.

• Kaseem : The Magna Carta, the first constitution guaranteeing rights to English speaking peoples, was signed at Runnymede by King John on June 15th in the year 1215.

  Skipper : Aw, sure. It just slipped my mind.

  [Kaseem points to Tamba the Chimp] 

  Kaseem : Perhaps your mind wouldn't be half so slippery if you'd send your classmate outside while you're studying.

• [first lines] 

  [Skipper and Tamba the Chimp are studying textbooks] 

  Skipper : No, Tamba, not like that.

  [Skipper turns the book right side up] 

  Skipper : No wonder you're not learnin' anything!

  [Tamba turns the book upside down again] 

  Skipper : Okay, suit yourself - be a dummy all your life.

• [last lines] 

  Skipper : I owe you an apology, Mr. Raily.

  Skipper : Why How's that, son?

  Skipper : Well, I was trying to steal back Trader when I ran into that rhino.

  Jungle Jim : So that's what you were doing around here!

  Skipper : Yes, sir and I'm sorry!

  Jack Raily : Well look, son. If you want the pup that bad, supposin' I make you present of him.

  Skipper : Thanks just the same, Mr. Raily, but I don't think Trader would be too happy about that and I know Tamba wouldn't. I guess it's just like Dad says: pets have as much right to find people as people to find pets.
