 * [Avenger and Harvey freeze, and their eyes widen.]
 * Dr. Benton Quest: He's my traveling companion. We go on adventures together in steamy jungles and the like.

 * [coffee spills]
 * Apache Chief: Ah! My lap!


 * Apache Chief: Well I saved the town the other day.. and anyway, I saved the town. And anyway, afterwards I thought, "Man, a.. a coffee would be nice." But I spilled it on my... lap

 * Harvey: Ugh! Let's all go to the mountains! Oh! [composes himself] I'll take the case!... Not even first thing in the morning? You know... little neeneeneeneeneey?

" Shaggy Busted"

 * [Music, laughter]
 * Shaggy: [to Scooby] Will you be cool?
 * Officer: Turn the music off, please.
 * Shaggy: Sure thing officer.
 * Officer: Where you headed tonight?
 * Shaggy: Like there’s this green monster, officer, sneaking around at the old cotton mill, we’re headed out there to meet the gang and, like, try to catch it. [Laughs]
 * Officer: A green monster?
 * Shaggy: [Laughs] Yeah! A real fattie man.

 * Harvey: How 'bout we start with your name?
 * Peanut: Peanut.
 * Harvey: Uh-huh. So your last job was at, um, I don't see anything listed.
 * Peanut: Um, I used to work at a baltimization plant.
 * Harvey: Baltimization?
 * Peanut: Oh, yeah. You see, the Japanese claim it increases sexual potency tenfold.  They call it "paw-paw-paw-zaaaaah".
 * Harvey: Really?
 * Peanut: Mmm. You know.
 * Harvey: Mm.. Mhmmm... [writes it down] Well, you quit that job?
 * Peanut: Actually, I believe I was fired from that job.
 * Harvey: Oh?
 * Peanut: Well, there was the murder of a supervisor. Nothing proven.  I just thought it was better to move on.

"Death By Chocolate"

 * Harvey: So Myron, there's one thing I can't figure out. You prosecuting for the government?
 * Reducto: That's right, Birdman, yell it nice and loud.
 * Harvey: What?
 * Reducto: I'm not prosecuting.
 * Harvey: Oh my God, am I supposed to be prosecuting?
 * Reducto: Not for the government at least. Look, that man over there.
 * Harvey: Hm. The jukebox?
 * Reducto: No! [pulls out a complicated schematic] There is no government, just a few multi-national corporations that run everything.
 * [The words "An AOL/Time Warner Co." appear on the bar's sign.]
 * Harvey: Myron, Myron!
 * Reducto: The bear's a threat to the new world order, Birdman. Soon there will be one worldwide currency-
 * [The bartender walks over]
 * Reducto: [Falling out of his chair] AHH!!!  I'll make you fun-size!
 * Harvey: One currency? [laughs]
 * Bartender: Your tab.
 * Harvey: Right. [counting money]  One euro.  Two euro.


 * Harvey: Mr. Boo Boo, would you consider yourself a revolutionary?
 * Boo Boo: Well, no. But I do believe corporations rob us of our dignity and independence, and that these systems must be ripped down, burnt down, or leveled by any force necessary... but that's just one little bear's opinion.
 * Harvey: A cute, fuzzy little bear. [smiles at jury] The defense rests.

"Shoyu Weenie"

 * Phil: Now close your eyes and fall back. I’m right behind you.

 * Neptunes: Sure!
 * Jabberjaw: ... Nyuk nyuk nyuk!
 * Mentok: Oh for God's sakes...you, the shark. No more from you today, okay?
 * Harvey: Who writes your music?
 * Neptunes member: Someone with something yummy in his tummy?
 * Mentok: [to stenographer] Those guys over there, they're gonna lose this one. Pretty sure of it. No, I know it.
 * Harvey: And before you answer this next question, let me remind you that you swore [pulls out a giant Bible] ON A BIBLE to tell the truth here today. [throws it away] So, tell us [points above] AND GOD, where the song 'Lovely Lovely' came from? HE'D like to know.
 * Neptunes member: Uh, we don't know.
 * Harvey: Nothing further.

"The Dabba Don"

 * Phil Ken Sebben: Do you know what this means to the firm?! The billable hours?! I can finally build that lake house, and I'll run around naked all day. Ha ha... dangly parts.

"Deadomutt, Part 2"

 * Harvey: Step off, Holmes!
 * Peanut: Oh, I was trying, just trying to talk about your tattoo.
 * Harvey: You wouldn't last two minutes in my world!


 * Harvey: 12 Jurors. 1 Judge. 1/2 a chance

"X, the Eliminator"

 * Phil: I need your...uh, help.
 * Harvey: Really.
 * Phil: On my way to work I hit a guy...
 * Harvey: Oh, that doesn't seem so bad.
 * Phil: ...every day this week.
 * Harvey: Oh... any witnesses?
 * Phil:: Some kids.
 * Harvey: Nobody believes kids!
 * Phil: And a nun.
 * Harvey: Nobody believes nuns!
 * Phil: Someone's suing Phil Ken Sebben, dammit!
 * Harvey: I'll take the case.
 * Phil: And if we lose it's you and me, Birdman, against the world.
 * Harvey: YES!
 * Phil: Two heavily armed men in a bunker fighting extradition.
 * Harvey: Oh.


 * X, The Eliminator: Yes, it is I; X, the Eliminator, and only I can rid you of this scourge; Birdman.
 * FEAR Member 1: What is your price?
 * X, The Eliminator: One million dollars
 * FEAR Member: It is agreed; we will give you the money, and in exchange you will bring us the crest of Birdman

"Blackwatch Plaid"

 * Phil: Everyone get in here! [everyone is instantly in Phil's office] Who can tell me what's different about my office?
 * Peanut: You hid the interns?
 * Phil: Everything's gone! I leave last night with everything right where it's supposed to be, [scene wipes to a flashback of the office looking exactly the same as it does now] then I come back this morning and everything's missing.  The baby grand piano that was right there... gone!
 * Harvey: [thinking] There was never a piano there.
 * Phil: Yes there was, Birdman! You can still see the dimples in the carpet where it stood... next to the 14-foot-high golden Buddha.
 * Harvey: [thinking] There was never a 14-foot-high golden--
 * Phil: Keep your thoughts to yourself, Birdman! Don't you understand?  I'm a victim! God, I feel so unclean!  Tell you what... I'm going to cover my eye and whoever stole the items in question can just put them back and I won't ask any questions. [covers his eye patch] OK, I'm not looking!  Can't see a thing!  Nine-alligator, ten-alligator, ready or not, here I come!  Ha ha ha... I wish! Well the Buddha is back, BUT THE BABY GRAND IS STILL MISSING! So, while I consider myself to be a benevolent...-ish dictator, I have no choice but to introduce a battery of oppressive security measures. Frisking! Cavity searches! This easy-to-understand color-coded crime alert system! And for everyone's safety and security, and to preserve our way of life, I'm taking a drastic step and putting up a security camera. Just one... for safety, security, and omniscient, unblinking information gathering of everyone's activities.


 * Reducto: Every conversation is scanned for key words. Here, give me your phone, I'll show you.

 * Phil: You sure did!
 * Harvey: Ha, aha...
 * Phil: Multiple entendre.
 * Gigi: Gotta run. Oh... [kisses Harvey on wing] See you at home, hun!

 * Peanut: Yes! When they were prying him off his little wheelchair, he was all [whines and swats the air like a sissy]

"High Speed Buggy Chase"

 * Harvey: So sorry we couldn't help you, but again, making your will after you're dead is pretty much frowned-upon. It's a legal thing.
 * Funky Phantom: That's not what the Founding Fathers intended. I know, I was there!  You lawyers are screwing up this whole country!
 * Harvey: [laughs] We're trying.
 * Funky Phantom: And how do ya think they'd react to pornography? Or naked pictures even?
 * Peanut: Well, I'm guessin' George Washington would've had more wood than just his teeth.


 * Phil: [regarding Avenger's replacement: a finch] What do you mean, he's not a good typist?
 * Harvey: Well, for one, he's too light, he can't push the keys down.
 * Phil:You know what he needs? A mate. Finches are sad without mates; they won't type without them.
 * Harvey: Plus, I don't think he understands English.
 * Phil: Maybe I got a European Goldfinch by mistake. Crap!
 * Harvey: [now has a white stain on his shoulder]
 * Phil: Nope! I think he understands plenty!

 * Mightor: [On a golf course, waving a club] Ha-ha-ha, deedle-deedle-dee.
 * Ding-a-ling: Gee whizzes, Mr. Birdman, something awful's happened. I went to register my name, because I wanna do a web site for all my fans...
 * [Harvey, Peanut, and Avenger laugh again.]
 * Ding-a-ling: ...and this is what came up. It's pictures, dirty pictures!
 * Peanut: You think you got it bad? You should see what Tweetypie-dot-org looks like. Hee hee, yeah, "I tawt I taw a puddy... tat."


 * Peanut: Bling-bling. Who's there? Oh, it's Peanut's money!
 * Harvey: It didn't last as long this time.
 * Peanut: Yeah, Harvey. We're gonna have to move you up to the good stuff...the French Stuff.
 * Harvey: Gimme the French Stuff.
 * Peanut: Oh, you gotta pay more for the stuff en francais, playa!
 * Harvey: OK OK OK! How much?
 * Peanut: You know Harv, I've always admired the view from your apartment.
 * Harvey: [tosses Peanut his apartment keys] Enjoy!
 * Peanut: And lunch money.
 * Harvey: But I'm out of money! Avenger wanted a cheeseburger, and....
 * Peanut: You know, I know this 39-year-old bodybuilder. Still amateur. He's got a powerful taste for the French Stuff. I could give him a call.
 * Harvey: Money. Money. I'll get the money!

 * Harvey: My stapler seems to have fallen into your...
 * Phil: Ixnay on the aplerstay, okay... ay? This is the big time, Laff-a-Lympics, Birdman.


 * Doctor: [With tranquilizer dart in his neck.] It says here that the father of Gigi's baby is... GRAPE APE!!!

<hr width=50%/>
 * [Klaxons sound as Harvey tries to obtain more bathroom tissue]

 * Harvey: One sheet?!
 * Phil: Repeat: One sheet per visit.
 * Potamus: [appearing from under the stall partition] Want mine? I ain't gonna use it.

"Droopy Botox"

 * [Harvey and Phil enter a toilet that looks like a palace.]
 * Harvey: Wow.
 * Phil: Ha ha ha! V..pee. Backrub.
 * [Lady appears and starts rubbing Phil's shoulders.]
 * Harvey: Am I supposed to... err... um... in this?
 * Phil: Nothing like gold on gold
 * Harvey: You know Phil, I've wanted this a long time: the money, the attention, the...
 * Phil: Backrub.
 * Harvey: Backrub?
 * [Man appears and starts rubbing Harveys shoulders.]
 * Harvey: Oh... But somehow, it doesn't feel right
 * Phil: You know it didn't feel right to me at first either.
 * Harvey: It didn't?
 * Phil: Nope, but now I can't go wee without a little rub.

<hr width=50%/>

 * Birdman: Sure.
 * Blue Falcon: Before you enter, could you expectorate on me.
 * Birdman: Sorry?
 * Blue Falcon: Expectorate... como se dice? Spitting?

"Guitar Control"

 * Harvey: Our Founding Fathers... guaranteed us certain protections. The freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the freedom to own and play stringed instruments of all kinds. Those Founding Fathers didn't place restrictions on these freedoms. They didn't say, "The right to play guitar shall not be violated, except when used to play Green Day's, 'Time of Your Life,' over and over again in the common area of your dorm!" *No!* Where will these restrictions end? A background check when you want to take up banjo? A five day waiting period to buy a Telecaster? An all-out ban on the Flying V or, dare I say, whammy bar? Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, it is up to *you* to defend our right to keep and bear guitars.
 * Reducto: Yes, our Founding Fathers were certainly comfortable with the idea of the lute or the fiddle, but how could they have foreseen the fretless bass? No! There was absolutely no way for them to imagine a time when men would walk the streets brandishing Edgar Winter's Special Edition portable keyboards with standard MIDI interface.
 * [Addressing the gallery front row, containing the Founding Fathers, Antonin Scalia, Funky Phantom, and Edgar Winter]
 * Reducto: Don't look at me!
 * [Starts crawling underneath the gallery seats]
 * Reducto: And while the good people of the National Guitar Association might like you to think otherwise, do you really think we'd all be safer if everyone were walking around with a Sunburst Rickenbacker in their pockets?

<hr width=50%/>
 * [Phil's Presidential Campaign commercial, starts with song about how he's "seen almost half of America" with a video of a stripper dancing]
 * Phil: I'm Phil Ken Sebben. You may not know me, but I have 12-billion dollars here that says you'll vote for me regardless.
 * Narrator: Phil Ken Sebben. Strength. Leadership. Vision.
 * Phil: [Interrupting] Oh, almost forgot! I've taken every drug known to man. And not just orally. Just gettin' that out there.
 * Narrator: Paid for by the people who gave Phil Ken Sebben 12-billion dollars.

"Booty Noir"

 * Reducto: I've got a device...a body reshaper.
 * Norlissa: A device? For the booty?
 * Reducto: Well, actually it was invented for other, more dastardly...yes, for the booty!
 * Norlissa: Is it safe?
 * Reducto: It's patented in Sweden.
 * Norlissa: How much does it cost?
 * Reducto: FREE! I mean, it's free.
 * Norlissa: Well all right, when can I make an appointment?
 * Reducto: I have an opening right now. Turn around.

 * Harvey: And the wildlife you're accused of injuring while trying to make your living crawfising in the swamp?
 * Wally Gator: Manatees [Switch to projecting slides where Wally shreds a manatee with his speedboat fan]. Don't see why the laws protecting them! Ain't nothin but floatin' meatsacks! [Court in surprise, deputy zips up pants] . Huh, federal government has NO BUSINESS tellin me how I should live MY LIFE!!!
 * Mightor: [Catering liquor from a reflux still] Heh, preach!!!

 * Shado: [telepathically] I WILL HAVE THE COBB SALAD.
 * Potamus: Nonsense! We'll have four bloomin' onions and the full slab of baby backs. For the table!
 * Shado: [telepathically] I AM NO LONGER EATING PORK. [talking out loud] I just telepathically communicated that I am no longer eating por—

 * Potamus: Two weeks.
 * Mentok: Oh, and let's see. That was two weeks ago right... now!  MISTRIAL!
 * Shado: [talking out loud] But nobody knew about that request for discovery. I hid it so well! How—
 * Mentok: Did I know? Back at the bar, when you thought we were getting all palsy-walsy, I was actually flipping through that sorry organizer you call a mind, looking for DIRT! Ya know what we call THAT?! MIND-TAKING BABY!!!!! ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES!!!!!! YOU'VE TRIED THE REST, NOW TRY THE BEST!! ONCE YOU'VE GONE BLACK, YOU NEVER GO BACK!!!!!!!!!
 * Harvey: So, I didn't hurt this guy, or that guy, or that guy, or this...gal?
 * Mentok: Oh, no. You hurt 'em, Birdy. You hurt 'em real bad. But you won! And that's all that matters!

"X Gets the Crest"

 * Reducto: Your Honor, Sheriff Ricochet took a—DON'T YOU MOVE FROM THAT CHAIR!—an oath to protect the public, to ensure the public's—YOUR LEGS! STOP MOVING YOUR LEGS!—safety. But in the end he caused more property damage, more injury and loss of life than the very criminals he was—
 * [Ricohet Rabbit starts bouncing around the courtroom]
 * Reducto: [Jumping around and firing his shrink gun] AHHH! You see? This is just the sort of reckless endangerment of which I speak! AHHHH!

 * Harvey: Really?
 * [Phil slaps Harvey with his mug, but appears across the room in the next frame]

 * Peanut: Sucky.

<hr width=50%/>

 * Mentok: Uh, yes. Yes, it is.

"Turner Classic Birdman"

 * Mentok: You're no longer in control of your mind, and your wings are missing too.
 * Harvey: I am no longer in control of my mind, and my wings are missing too.
 * Mentok: Ehh, you don't have to repeat what I'm saying.
 * Harvey: I don't have to repeat what you're saying.
 * Mentok: I mean it stop it.
 * Harvey: I mean it stop it... You mean it stop it

 * Birdman: Sigh!
 * Robert Osborne: And that was 1944's "Double Indemnity" with Fred MacMurray and, of course, the glorious Barbara Stanwyck. Now, later Frank Capra would confess in his autobiography that he fell in love with Stanwyck and had he not been more in love with Lucille Rayburn, whom he eventually did marry, he would have asked Barbara Stanwyck to marry him, after she called it quits with Frank Fay and before she married Robert Taylor. Well, that's it for tonight, thanks for watching, and I'll see you next time.

 * Birdman: No! No I didn't! I never get that thing you sent me! I've never gotten that thing you sent me, and I'm beginning to wonder if you ever once sent me anything! While I'm at it, if I HAD gotten that thing you sent me—EVER!—I doubt I'd be interested in what it said. [loud sigh]
 * Potamus: [whimpers]
 * Birdman: Hey, hey, oh... I'm, I'm sorry.
