- Ginger: Funny; the rule here is: always tell the truth.
- Rocky: Boy, that's been working like a real charm, hasn't it? Let me give you some free advice: you want them to perform? Tell them what they wanna hear.
- Ginger: You mean lie?”“- Ginger: Think, everyone, think. What haven't we tried yet?

- Fetcher: I am - and it's horrible.”“- Ginger: I thought you were teaching us how to fly.
- Rocky: That's what I'm doing.
- Ginger: Isn't there usually some flapping involved?
- Rocky: Hey, do I tell you how to lay eggs?”“- Rocky: Oh, just a little place I call the land of the free and the home of the brave.
- Mac: Scotland!
