Junior

 * [first lines of the film; narrating] For as long as can be remembered, storks deliverd babies... [We see the tower called "Stork Mountain" as the storks fly out to deliver babies] From their perch on Stork Mountain. [We see clouds as a silhouette stork is flying] It was an honor and a privilege to serve. [We see a stork flying while holding a blonde-haired brown skinned baby with a white blanket] It was our duty, our core belief the driving force of our very lifeblood.
 * If anyone finds out about this, I am dead meat! My hopes of becoming boss (will be) destroyed (for good)!
 * [to the penguins; as he and Tulip prepares for a battle] Put down that baby!
 * An annoying person asked me once why I want to be boss. Well, I never knew why until today. Baby delivery is our true calling. This is not just a bunch of metal and glass and whatever that giant magical crystal thing is made out of. This is the heart of what Storks were put on this earth to do. This is our mission. We pride ourselves on customer service. Well this is a family that never got the baby they asked for. Make a plan; Stick to the plan; Always deliver!

Tulip

 * Tulip is fine. Orphan hurts my heart.
 * I want to see the baby.
 * You don't? [laughing with Junior] All right, you laugh when you're uncomfortable. Am I pushing your buttons?
