- Darla Dimple: I'm the star! You stupid, stupid cat! I should have drowned you all when I flooded the stage!
- [echoing over the PA says "Flooded the stage". The crowd, L.B. Mammoth and Flanigan were shocked and gasped]
- Crowd: Darla Dimple! I can't believe it.
- [Darla looks around, forces a smile, a weak giggle, grabs Danny, and tries to act all innocent. Pudge giggles and pushes the trap door lever]
- Darla Dimple: [as she falls down the trap door, screaming] Max!
- Max: [on the Darla balloon, floating over Paris] Oui, Miss Dimple?
- T.W.: [frantically searching through fortunes] They can break your cookie, but... you'll always have your fortune.
- Danny: Look, if you're going to accept what they think of you, then you can leave. I almost did.
- Cranston: Well, you should have. Life here for animals is the pits. We're always playing the scapegoat.
- Woolie Mammoth: Quickly forgotten.
- Frances: Working for scale.
- Danny: Then why are you still here? Because you can't get over that feeling, can you? That feeling you get when... when you two dance together. When you play. When you sing. They cursed you, humilliated you, even slammed the door on your face, but they haven't made you forget. Have they?
- Darla Dimple: [in movie] Yea, as you walk through your valley of despair, fear not. For I am your little Ark Angel, and I will look after each and every little, teensy-weensy, itsy-bitsy one of you!
- [crowd "awww"s]
- Cranston: Shoot me.
- Woolie Mammoth: Did you know the peanut is not a nut at all? And not a pea, for that matter. It's rather odd that we call it a nut because it isn't a nut, you see. It's actually a member of the legume family. How about pea-legume? No, that doesn't make any sense, either. But whatever it is, it makes a splendid tea.
- Tillie Hippo: Well, there's always Broadway. Yeah, Broadway. I hear hippos are very, very big on Broadway.
- Frances: They're big everywhere, Darling.
- Danny: If we all work together, we can make our dreams come true. Let's show the world what we can do.
- Sawyer: Look, tiger. This town has rules. Around here cats say, "Meow."
- Danny: But that's so old hat. I'm sure no one would mind if I jazzed this up a bit.
- Sawyer: Okay, learn it the hard way.
- Danny: [dramiatic reading] Meow!
- [as Gabby Hayes]
- Danny: Meow! Dagnabit, meow!
- [as Edward G. Robinson]
- Danny: Meow, see? Yeah, that's it. Meow! Meow!
- Darla Dimple: [singing] I've seen 'em come and I've seen 'em go / There's one thing that I know / You gotta give the people what they want / Or you'll wind up back in Kokomo, Nebraska.
- Danny: Uh, Indiana, Ms. Dimple.
- Darla Dimple: ...Whatever.
- [Sawyer enters, wet and disheveled]
- Tillie Hippo: Sawyer, what happened to you?
- T.W.: Did you walk under a ladder? Smash a mirror?
- Cranston: Have you looked in one lately?
- Sawyer: No, a cat crossed my path.
- Tillie Hippo: Really? Orange tabby?
- Sawyer: Yes.
- Tillie Hippo: Green vest?
- Sawyer: Uh huh.
- Tillie Hippo: Straw hat?
- Sawyer: Yes.
- Tillie Hippo: Oh, what a coinky-dink!
- Sawyer: How did you know?
- Tillie Hippo: Oh, hippo's intuition.
- Danny: But I thought Hollywood was always looking for new talent.
- Woolie Mammoth: Ah, ah, talented *people*, not animals.
- [sighs]
- Woolie Mammoth: You see, the spotlight will never be on fellows like you and me, and it's foolish to think otherwise, Danny.
- Danny: Wow! My own dream come true.
- Farley Wink: Yeah, yeah. But remember: 10% of that dream is mine.
- [after finishing "Big & Loud", to a stunned Danny]
- Darla Dimple: [in cutesy voice] Kinda makes you speechless...
- Darla Dimple: [in sultry voice] ... don't it?
- [first lines]
- Narrator: Once upon a time, there was a princess and a peasant. She lived a top of hill in a glittering castle. There, she had a servant who kept her castle in order, prepared her breakfast, and chose her daily robes for the day. She had fame. She had fortune. She had product endorsements. But, she was not what she was seemed.
- [Darla Dimple giggles]
- Narrator: On the other hand, in a humble village far away, the peasant had none of her luxuries, but he had a dream. So, with a fond farewell from his closest friends and gifts of good luck, best wishes... and useless junk, although it's the thought that counts, his world was about to clash with hers in a place called: Hollywood!
- Reporter: Gee whiz, Mr. Mammoth, what's the secret of your success?
- L.B. Mammoth: Simple! It's Dimple!
- Darla Dimple: Flanigan, the title of this picture is "Lil Ark Angel"...
- [grabs his tie]
- Darla Dimple: Isn't it?
- Flanigan: Yes, yes.
- Darla Dimple: And who here is an angel?
- [took his sunglasses and breaks it]
- Flanigan: Mmmmm?
- Darla Dimple: [yells, shaking him] Can you tell me who here's an angel?
- Flanigan: Why, you are, Darla, sweetheart, celebrity, darling...
- [Darla pulls on Flannigan's tie, he choked]
- Flanigan: Angel!
- Darla Dimple: That's right! I AM an angel! I... am... an adorable... little... ANGEL!
- Danny: Look at you standing there with the long, long face.
- Horse: [to another horse] Hey, he must be talking to you.
- Darla Dimple: They like it big, they like it loud / Maybe a little bit jazzy sometimes / Mister Pussycat, listen to me / You don't have to be good, but you had better be...
- Max: Get hot, Miss Dimple.
- Darla Dimple: Big and Loud! / Big and Loud! / Wanna make your mamma proud / Make it big / And / Loud!
- Pudge the Penguin: I would have slugged that big lug Max for you, but I didn't want to hurt the guy.
- Woolie Mammoth: [after Pudge lands on the piano keys] That's it! B-flat. You have a natural rear for music, little fellow.
- Darla Dimple: [singing] I didn't get where I am today / By getting myself get pushed around / No man nor beast / Nor kitty cat nor doggie / Is going to bring me down.
- Max: Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!
- Darla Dimple: Shut up, Max.
- Tillie Hippo: Well?
- Sawyer: I can't do this.
- Tillie Hippo: And?
- Sawyer: I can't do this.
- Tillie Hippo: So?
- Sawyer: I can't believe I'm doing this.
- Darla Dimple: Now, the people they were so bad / That the Lord made the rain come down / And He washed away the bad cities, and He washed away the bad towns / And all of the people drowned / With the animals it was different, though some of them drowned too / The others were just poor animals, and they didn't know what to do / So... I built a little ark / As cute as it can be / And I put all the animals two by two / On my little boat on the sea.
- L.B. Mammoth: Ah, the recipe for a Darla Dimple movie. Begin with one part adorable character in jeopardy.
- [inside the soundstage, Darla has tied up Pudge]
- Darla Dimple: Sorry, penguin, but in everyone's life, a little rain must fall. Max, man the valves!
- Max: Yes, Miss Dimple.
- [Max opens the water valve]
- L.B. Mammoth: Add two parts perky determination...
- Darla Dimple: More water, Max. More water!
- [Max opens the water valve even more, causing the shower heads to burst open]
- L.B. Mammoth: Sprinkle in an air of innocence...
- Darla Dimple: Wind, Max! We must have WIND!
- [Max rips off the fan guard, grips one of the blades, and pushes it down, creating wind]
- L.B. Mammoth: Stir in...
- Darla Dimple: More water!
- [Max rips off the water valve, sending gallons of water gushing out into the flood]
- L.B. Mammoth: Add a pinch of...
- Darla Dimple: Thunder!
- [Max grips a steam pipe, which starts bulging at the bottom. Two gauges and a bulb burn out, harming Pudge. The steam pipe eventually bursts, letting off steam]
- L.B. Mammoth: And an itsy-bitsy dash of...
- Darla Dimple: LIGHTNING!
- [cackling evilly, Max slams the two lightning generators to create lightning]
- L.B. Mammoth: Mix them all together, and what do you get?
- [presses the open door button and the stage doors open, revealing a flooded stage which then spills out into the lot]
- Danny: Say, what happened back there?
- Sawyer: Look, I...
- Danny: Did I hit a sour note? Because if I hit a sour note, I can go back and... I can fix it.
- Sawyer: Danny, they don't care! Don't you get it? What's the matter with you? Why are you so determined on making a fool of yourself?
- Danny: What do you mean? All I want to do is the thing I love. Doesn't everyone?
- Sawyer: It's not that simple.
- Danny: It is in Kokomo.
- Sawyer: Then... maybe that's where you should have stayed.
