Quotes 

• Skipper : So, what's the trouble, Long Trunks?

  Burt : You guys gotta help me. I need to get out of the zoo and across town, today!

  Private : Ooh, a breakout.

  Kowalski : Complicated by crosstown transport of the world's largest land mammal.

  Skipper : That's a pretty tall order, my ginormous friend. May I ask why?

  Burt : Let's just say an elephant never forgets.

  Rico : Uhh...

  Skipper : Ooh, dark and sinister sounding with the classic pachyderm cliché. Big man, you play me like a fiddle.

• Skipper : Our cover's been blown! Abort, men! Abort!

  Burt : No! We don't abort for nothing!

• Skipper : Gentlemen, let's go home.

  Private : But Skipper, how are we going to sneak Burt back into the zoo?

  Skipper : [Looks at abstract painting in apartment]  Hmm...

  [Cut to Burt wearing the painting, walking down the street] 

  Skipper : Now, if anyone asks, you're the Museum of Modern Art.

  Burt : You can call me MoMA.

• Skipper : Our first obstacle is Alice. We need something to keep her occupied during Burt's exodus.

  Kowalski : Perhaps a large mess to clean up. But what would be the ideal spot for maximum filthyosity? The public restrooms, of course!

  Skipper : Now we need some sort of stink bomb.

  Kowalski : Chemical or organic?

  Skipper : Let's go green on this one. Big Gray, what did you have for breakfast this morning?

  Burt : Bean, broccoli and cabbage burrito. Why?

  Skipper : Perfecto!

• Burt : [about the fake elephant the penguins made]  I don't know. It doesn't really look like me.

  Skipper : Wait for it.

  [Rico regurgitates some peanuts in front of decoy] 

  Burt : Wow! It's like looking in a mirror!

• Skipper : [about the "stink bomb"]  Nice craftsmanship, Burt.

  Burt : The burrito did most of the work.

• Skipper : [the penguins discover some photos pinned on Burt's habitat]  Well, this is, uh, disturbing, to me. Anyone else?

  Private : I'm disturbed as well, Skipper.

  Kowalski : [Focusing on a photo of a kid]  Look at that kid with the kazoo. Could it be? The legendary Kid Kazoo?

  Rico : Kid Kazoo?

  Kowalski : You know, Kid Kazoo? The scourge of the Central Park Zoo? Surely you've heard the tales. He was a Sunday regular, a real piece of work, with a smile like a bear trap, and a laugh like a deranged birthday clown. But the sickest thing was that kazoo, screeching incessantly like a kindergarten orchestra.

  Private : That sounds horrible, Kowalski.

  Kowalski : Kazoos always do, Private. But no one had it worse than poor Burt. With those jumbo-sized ears, that constant buzzing was unbearable. He hated that kazoo! I wonder what ever happened to the little maniac?

  Skipper : [Looks at a picture of an adult man]  Wait a minute. Look at those shifty eyes. That devious half-smile. Those kazoo-kissed lips.

  Kowalski : By Newton's apple, you're right! It's Kid Kazoo all grown up!

  Rico : Wow!

  Private : Burt really knows how to hold a grudge. For years, apparently.

• Skipper : But I thought an elephant never forgets.

  Burt : But he always forgives.

  Skipper : Right. A little sappy for my taste.
