And we’re going to study until you can take that test confidently and never have to resort to childish outbursts to cover for bad grades again!"

Katrina, from A Book By It's Cover

Bananareader, that is one of my all-time favourite Mitch quotes! There's just something about it that I like.

Jellyfish: Well, well, well, Sleeping Beauty is waking up. How did you like your little shock, huh?

Jellyfish: Not as good a time as I’m gonna have!
Richard Maxwell: Mind if I give you a piece of advice?

[Catspaw]

This is just from memory - "My grandson wears PowerBoy boxers too!" <insert lots of laughter> Wooton's birthday song is one of my favourite things!

Next character: Wooton

Wooton: Just think how weird that would be, Power Boy symbols showin' up here and there and...
Bernard: Hey, wait a minute, pause! Symbols? I thought you said there was only one for help.
Wooton: Oh, no, there's a lot. Let's see, there's "Helllpp!!" as you know and there's "Don't look up!" and "Be wary of the purple lizards!" and "Warning: Arch nemesis in crystallic fusion dormancy!" and there's...
Bernard: I get the idea.
Wooton: Yeah, there's 121 in all.

Curt Stevens: Exactly. Now with the new Vacu-Grab, you don't have to.
Connie Kendall: The Vacu-Grab?
Curt Stevens: It's portable, retractable, and can fit right into your purse. Just take it out, retract it, turn it on, grab the keys, un-retract it, open the special containment unit built right in, and voila! You've got your keys.
Jimmy Barclay: So, instead of going through all of that...why not just bend down and pick up your keys?
Curt Stevens: …It retracts, Jimmy.
