Sheen: Seven. Your llama falls into a mud pit.
Carl: Sheen! There are no mud pits in "Llama's Day Out".
Sheen: Maybe *that* explains why I'm having no fun.

Jimmy: We gotta stop them before they reach Mount Incredibly Unstable! It's incredibly unstable!

Jimmy: [Sheen, Cindy, and Carl are sampling Jimmy's Book Gum]

Cindy: Give me that. Tastes like fried chicken.
[southern accent]
Cindy: Oh, Ashley. Oh, Rhett. I don't know nothing about birthin' no baby.
Carl: Mmm, William Shakespeare.
Jimmy: That might be a little strong for you, Carl.
Carl: [English accent] But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? It is the East and Juliet is the sun. See how she rests her cheek upon her hand? Oh, were I a glove upon that hands, that I may touch that cheek.
[Sheen nervously takes a step away from Carl]

[Repeated line]

[Later]
Miss Fowl: I would like an explanation for the two abominable grades
Cindy: There's a perfect explanation. I, Jimmy Neutron, am a gabble-headed dipstick.
Jimmy: But not as big a dipstick as you are, Miss Fowl. And if I don't get a month's worth of detentions for this, you're even dumber than you look.
Cindy: Well, how many detentions is *this* worth, Miss Foul-breath?
[Cindy kicks papers on Miss Fowl's desk]

Cindy: You turned your own grandmother into a baby?
Jimmy: I have a loophole... I mean, explanation. It could have happened to anyone with a genius IQ and access to unstable chemicals.

Sheen: Medulla oblongata. I don't know what it means, but I love it.
[warrior voice]
Sheen: Back, or I will slay you with my medulla oblongata!

Carl: We saw a ghost, and it has Jimmy!
Cindy: Good. It can keep him.
Sheen: You really have some anger issues, don't you?

Jimmy: Wait a minute. If you can't finish anything, how did you finish that robot?
Calamitous: Who says it's finished. I never put in a bathroom. Speaking of which...

[Hugh and Jimmy leave on a camping trip]
Judy: Alone at last. Come on, Goddard, let's break out the cookie dough and watch gladiator movies.

Jimmy: We found the lost tomb.
Cindy: Shouldn't we call National Geographic or Harvard?
Libby: Or Harrison Ford?

Sheen: You know what they say. Lies are just friends you haven't met.

Sheen: Remember, this game is for mature players only, so act even more maturer than we usuallly do. I'll try to grow a mustache.
Jimmy: My dad's over 18. I'll act like him.
[approaches counter and imitates Hugh]
Jimmy: Well, howdy there, clerky-clerkotron.

Sheen: THAT'S NOT FAIR! I demand my constipational rights!
[the boys are thrown out of the store]

[In Carl's dream]
Jimmy: I have to prove to Carl he's dreaming.

[later, out of the dream]
Cindy: Not even in HIS dreams, Neutron!
[Cindy slaps Jimmy]

Jimmy: Is not!
Cindy: Is so!
Jimmy: Is not!
Cindy: Is so
Carl: [screaming] STOP IT! STOP IT! CAN'T YOU SEE THIS CONSTANT FIGHTING IS TEARING US ALL APART?
[pause]
Sheen: [laughing] That was cool, Carl. I really believed you for a second.

Jimmy: [Jimmy had to kiss Cindy to escape from Carl's dream] Uh, Carl, you won't tell anybody about that awful desperate thing I did to wake you up?
Carl: Sure thing, Jimmy.
Cindy: [barging into Jimmy's kitchen] Not even in *his* dreams, Neutron!
[slaps Jimmy]

Jimmy: I love you, but I'm supposed to hate you.
Cindy: What? Neutron, you are so dead!

Cindy: So, do we have to refer to you as Queen Libby?

[repeated line]
Sheen: Aha! I don't get it.

Jet Fusion: So, Beautiful, what's a beautiful girl like you doing with an evil dirtbag like Professor Calamitous?
Beautiful Gorgeous: He's my father.
Jet Fusion: [grunts in frustration] D'oh!

Jimmy: Okay, Sheen. All you have to do is press the buttons...
Sheen: Got it!
Jimmy: I'm not done. Press the buttons one at a time...
Sheen: Got it!
Jimmy: I'm not done! Press the buttons one at a time when they light up.
[Sheen says nothing]
Jimmy: I'm done.
Sheen: Got it!

Sheen: Poem? I thought we had to do an interpretive dance!
Carl: No, that's Thursday.

Carl: Today, I found something that has never been seen before in the history of the world... a half-eaten Krunchy Kreme jelly donut!
[all gasp]
Sheen: But they're 100% irresistible! No-one cannot finish one!
Miss Fowl: I'm afraid I know someone who could. An old student of mine, Finbarr Calamitous. He was a brilliant boy but he could never finish anything, not even sentences, that's why I failed him. And he was bad.
Nick: Like me?
Miss Fowl: No, you're bad in the new sense, meaning good. Finbarr was bad in the old sense. He disappeared one day after not finishing his lunch. I wonder why he has returned... Carl!
[Carl has eaten the rest of the donut]
Carl: What? I don't know!

[Jimmy has made himself stupid]
Jimmy: You guys wanna see My loopy dance? I'm loopy, I'm loopy, I'm loopy loopy loopy.

Carl: Me too! Let's keep him.

[Cindy and Jimmy have swapped bodies]
Nick: [to Jimmy] So, do you want to go to the concert, Cindy?
Jimmy: I wouldn't go with you if you were the last boy on Earth. That's how stuck-up I am.
Cindy: She doesn't mean that!

Hugh: I am Man, the pointy tip of the food chain! Gaze upon my opposable thumbs and tremble!

Nick: Get out of my way, Shine.
Sheen: SHEEN.

[Thomas Edison appears in Jimmy's Time Pincher]
Edison: That Henry Ford is such a knucklehead... Where am I? Who took my iced tea?

Sheen: Jimmy, I really have to go to the bathroom! All I see is sand, and I'm not a cat.

Commander Baker: This is a dangerous mission. You may not come back alive.
Jimmy: Can I get out of school?

[Jimmy and Cindy go to Retroland]
Jimmy: I am not having fun.
Cindy: Neither am I, Nerdtron.
Jimmy: Want some gum?
Cindy: NO!

Crowd: (In unison) You were right and we were wrong.
Jimmy: Thanks. A healthy skepticism is the sign of... Say it again.
Crowd: (In unison) You were right and we were wrong.
Jimmy: Now in French.
[Crowd repeats in French]
Jimmy: Now in Chinese.
[Crowd mutters in confusion]

Jimmy: Sometimes it's a burden to be such a genius.
Sheen: I know what you mean. That's why I decided early on to sabotage my highly scientific brain with cartoons and sugar.

Sheen: Can I say it, Jimmy?
Jimmy: Sure, go ahead.
Sheen: Atomic Batteries to power, turbines to speed, and kick it, baby!
Jimmy: Say it right.
Sheen: Lift off.
Jimmy: Much better.

Nick: [sees Jimmy dressed like Sherlock Holmes] Nice duds, dude. You lose a bet?

Willy Loman 3000: Hey-hey-hey, y-you look like a couple of intelligent young men.
Carl: Na-hah, it's just the glasses.

Hugh: I just love our nine billion channel alien cable line-up!

Carl: [backstage, just before the curtain opens] Hey, Jimmy, I just found out that the play Macbeth has a curse and you're not supposed to say Macbeth cause if you say Macbeth bad things happen cause you said Macbeth and we've been saying Macbeth a lot and congratulations on getting the part of Macbeth.
[gasps in sudden realization]
Carl: I said *Macbeth*!

Military Staff: Sir, we have reports of a 50-foot woman downtown!
Military General: Thanks, but I'm looking for someone shorter, who enjoys walks in the park...
Military Staff: [interrupting] She's not looking for a date, sir. She's terrorizing the town!
Military General: Is there a difference? Okay, then, call in the military!
Military Staff: We are the military, sir.
Military General: Whoa, we got here fast!

Carl: This reminds me of the story of the boy who cried llama.
Sheen: Wolf.
Carl: [alarmed] Where?

Sheen: Why is this day unlike any other, you may ask? Because I brought a new Ultra-Lord action figure!
Cindy: So? You always bring one of those, Ultra-Loser.
Sheen: Mock if you must, O Maiden of Wrongness, for this is the Ultra-Lord Action Figure #3 with factory gender error.
Ultra-Lord: [in girl voice] Like, will I wear this dress to the prom?

Jimmy: Don't couples usually go on second honeymoons?
Judy: We had one of those, but thanks to a certain boy genius and his Forget-O-Blaster, we have lost all memory of it.
Jimmy: Oh, yeah.
Judy: As well as the fifth year of our marriage.
Hugh: I wish I could remember that year. Do you think I had pie?

Jimmy: I present to you the greatest thing your eyes have ever beheld.
Carl: A llama?
Jimmy: No.
Carl: A baby llama?
Jimmy: No.
Carl: A baby llama with a hat?
Jimmy: No!
Cindy: An invention of yours that actually works?
Jimmy: No... I mean, yes!

Junkman: Oh, Mommy. I could never put a price on you... so I sold you to the highest bidder.

[Jimmy's pants disappear, leaving him in his underwear]
Cindy: [laughing] I see London, I see France!
Carl: You've got really good eyesight.

Jimmy: Bring my screwdriver and my special CD of town-saving music.

Brobot: Now will you help me find my parents?
Sheen: Well Brobot, that would be the "right thing" to do, but the "smart thing" to do would be find Jimmy's rocket, go home, and CALL IT A DAY!

Calamitous: May I use your...
Sam Melnick: Telephone? Teeth whitening kit? Restroom?
Calamitous: Restroom!
Sam Melnick: No. It's for paying customers only.
Calamitous: All right. I'll have a chocolate...
Sam Melnick: Sundae? Rumball? Milkshake?

Jimmy: Officer Tubbs, man that bathroom.
Officer Tubbs: Thanks. Don't mind if I do.

Miss Fowl: It has come to my attention that some of our candidates are guilty of bribery, blackmail and... murder!
[audience gasps]
Miss Fowl: Oh, sorry. Did I say murder? I meant operating a zeppelin on school grounds.

Terry Finster: Is that pie plate talking to me?

Carl: Not that fresh air and ticks in your sleeping bag isn't fun, but why do we have to go camping with you, Jimmy?
Jimmy: Because if you don't, I'll be forced to publish these high-definition photos of you two playing with Pomono Beach Debbie Dolls.
Sheen: Pomono Beach Debbie is an action figure. She posesses special powers that can defeat any adversary... except Ultra Lord, of course.
Carl: I like the pretty bathing suits.

[Cindy and Libby are having a yard sale]
Cindy: What's the take?
Libby: We're about $1.23 away from sharing an enchila-burrito from Taco Horn.

Giggles the Clown: [to Jimmy] Can you teach me to get my hair in that ridiculous shape?

[Jimmy has turned his grandmother into a baby]
Man: Did that baby just talk?
Jimmy: No, of course not. Everyone knows babies can't talk.
Grandma Neutron: That's right, cause if we did, the Videotubbies would be cancelled so fast it would make their head aerials spin.

[watching Jimmy's TV show]
Hugh: Look at our little Jimbo. The camera loves him.
[things go wrong on Jimmy's show]
Hugh: My mistake. The camera only likes him as a friend.

Jimmy: [on the phone] Cindy, whatcha doin?
Cindy: Neutron! Well after we hang up I'll be getting an unlisted number!

Sheen: Am I the only real man left?
Libby: If by "man" you mean "doofus".

Hugh: [On parenting] I find that it helps to set limits, like, "No time travel on school nights", or, "No teleporting your mother".

Hugh: Watch me shot-put this potato.
Judy: Oh, ooh, be careful!
[Hugh throws the potato out the window]
Man: Ow! My eye!

[Jimmy is struck by lightning over the phone]

Jimmy: Get ready for the time pincher's maiden voyage.
Sheen: You're bringing a girl with us?

Sheen: This year's play is "Macbeth in Space". What's that about?
Carl: Some guy with a girl's last name.
Ike: Principal Willoughby said it was written by a guy named William Shakespeare.
Oleander: Isn't he the janitor?

Miss Fowl: Jimmy and Cindy will work together on their projects.
[everyone gasps as thunder rumbles]
Miss Fowl: Wow, that new school bell is a real waker-upper.

Jimmy: These walls are lined with 3 feet of lead. No one's voice could possibly...
Sheen: [from outside] JIMMY! LET ME IN!

Jimmy: [Sheen is slicing up a recently defeated lima bean monster] Fortunately, as all bean farmers know, phaseolus lunatus perishes when exposed to dry air and overly-nitrogenous soil.
Carl: But you hit it with a hammer.

Sheen: If I win this election, you can be my first lady.
Libby: Get a life.

[Hugh is playing with Brobot]
Hugh: I got your nose. (It comes off) I really do... Here's 5 bucks.

Grandma Neutron: And forget Preparation H. I've made it all the way to Preparation X.

Libby: If you're asteroid inspectors, then let's see your badges!
[the aliens blast them with laser weapons]
Sheen: Uh, Libby, I don't think they need no stinkin' badges.

Jimmy: [thinking that the junkman is coming back for them, he picks up a pipe for a weapon] I'm not going down without a fight.
[Brobot appears]
Brobot: Hi, Jimmy!
Jimmy: Brobot?
Sheen: Let's hit him anyways. He's the one who got us into this mess.

Nanobot #2: I want to do it!
Nanobot #1: It's the captian's job.
Nanobot #2: Sometimes the stewardess gets to talk.
Nanobot #1: Get me some tea and a pillow and we'll discuss it.

Calamitous: My, aren't we the smart one. But not smart enough to fall into my... um... it starts with a T.
Jimmy: Trap?
Calamitous: Yes! And now you will be my scientific slave. You will finish my... um... um...
Jimmy: Sentences?
Calamitous: No! My, um...
Jimmy: Inventions?
Calamitous: Inventions! Finish my inventions. And with them I shall take over the... um...
Jimmy: Universe?
Calamitous: Um... smaller.
Jimmy: The town of Retroville?
Calamitous: And all those fools who laughed at me. They called me "Half-done" and "Never-finish", which weren't very good nicknames, but they stung just the same.

Grandma Neutron: And after they finished cleaning out my ears, there was enough wax to open a candle shop. And then they found this hair that they think could go straight to my foot.
[pulls ear and lifts foot]
