Mr. Rzykruski

 * Back home, everyone is scientist. Even my plumber wins Nobel Prize. Your country does not make enough scientist. Always needs more. You should be a scientist, Victor.
 * Science is not good or bad, Victor. But it can be used both ways. That is why you must always be careful.

Victor

 * [to Sparky's lifeless body after resuscitation attempt] It's okay, boy. You don't have to come back. You'll always be in my heart.

Dialogue

 * Victor: I was doing my experiment, my project, and the first time it worked great. But the next time it didn't. I mean, it sort of worked, but then it didn't. And I don't know why.
 * Mr. Rzykruski: Then maybe you never really understood it the first time. People think science is here [pointing to head] but it is also here. [pointing to chest] The first time, did you love your experiment?
 * Victor: Yes.
 * Mr. Rzykruski: Ah. And the second time?
 * Victor: No. I just wanted it over.
 * Mr. Rzykruski: Then you changed the variables.


 * Bob: [frantically] Victor! I... I need your help.
 * Victor: Did you see those things? They were like...
 * Bob: Sea Monkeys! You know how on the package, they're like, in a happy kingdom, and everyone's smiling?
 * Victor: Yeah?
 * Bob: They're not like that at all.
 * Toshiaki: [running up] Victor! I need your help.
 * Bob: I asked him first!
 * Toshiaki: My problem bigger! [pointing behind him and sounds of thundering footsteps and roaring. Camera pans to show a giant dinosaur-tortoise mutant stomping down the street]
 * Bob: Yeah, he's right.


 * Mayor: As mayor of New Holland, you have entrusted me with your safety. So I can't sit idly, while a teacher *endangers* our children.
 * Bob's Mom: [referring to Mr. Rzykruski] The man is a menace!
 * New Holland Townsfolk: She's right. He's crazy!
 * New Holland Townsfolk II: Have you looked through this science book they're using? Apparently, Pluto isn't good enough to be a planet any more. When I was a kid, Pluto was a great planet. This guy comes along, and rewrites the rules!
 * Mrs. Frankenstien: In fairness, he didn't write the textbook.


 * Victor: Where's Mr. Rzykruski?
 * Gym Teacher: All I know is I'll be teaching the class for the rest of the semester.
 * Elsa Van Helsing: Do you know anything about science?
 * Gym Teacher: I know more than you do.
 * Bob: Mr. Rzykruski knew a lot.
 * Gym Teacher: Well, sometimes knowing too much is the problem.
 * Victor: What about the science fair?
 * Gym Teacher: Oh, it's still on, but it will be judged by someone who's not insane: Me!
