Quotes 

• Joel : That was the nineteen-fifty-one classic "Lost Continent". Interestingly enough, EP Robert Lippert found that he could extend the length of his film by adding meaningless, poorly contrived and blocked walking sequences, or in the case of today's film, mind-numbingly excessive mountain-climbing scenes. He called the device "padding" and as you know, padding has become a staple of movies ever since. Now this.

  Tom Servo : Cesar Romero, whom many of you will recognize from the "Batman" TV series of the late sixties, and who was thought to be a spy, was originally to play the role that eventually went to Hugh Beaumont. Director Sam Newfield said, "Cesar just isn't bland enough." We'll be right back.

  Crow T. Robot : Uh, Director Newfeld, known nazi spy, cocaine fiend, and pyromaniac, used to amuse the cast and crew by doing terrible things to his dog with a fork. Uh, we'll be right back.

• Tom Servo : Brain the size of a walnut.

  Crow T. Robot : The dinosaur?

  Tom Servo : No, the director.

• Hugh Beaumont : Hello boys.

  Joel : Hugh Beaumont?

  Hugh Beaumont : Oh come on, call me 'Dad'.

  Joel : Gee sir, I mean Dad, what are you doing here?

  Hugh Beaumont : Well you see boys, I'm one of the four horsemen of the apoclalyse and I come bearing a message of unholy death.

  Joel : Huh?

  Hugh Beaumont : That's right, I'm really going to give you the business, destroy you, your world, and all that you know. But first, a stern talking-to. You know, you shouldn't be so hard on that movie. A lot of people worked quite hard to bring that movie to you.

  Crow T. Robot : Gee, I guess we shouldn't be so quick to judge others then, huh.

  Hugh Beaumont : That's right, Crow.

  Crow T. Robot : He bought it, what a jerk!

• Tom Servo : Hey, does this movie have a continental breakfast?

  Crow T. Robot : No, they lost the continental breakfast.

• Crow T. Robot : It's the mother-loving rubber dinosaur of them all!

• Crow T. Robot : I'm going to ask this once again, and it's only for the sake of conversation, what do you think is the tastiest part of the human body?

• Crow T. Robot : Get away! The stock footage is erupting.

• Crow T. Robot : Ever fly one of these before?

  Tom Servo : Nope.

  Crow T. Robot : Neither have I.

• Crow T. Robot : Why do the violins always trill when he's climbing?

• Crow T. Robot : Got a match?

  Joel : Yeah, my butt, your face.

• Crow T. Robot : Come on, God, why, why, why?

  [groans] 

  Tom Servo : This is-this is a madhouse, a madhouse!

  [groans] 

  Joel : Ugh, I never knew mountain time was so slow.

  Tom Servo : Please...

  Lt. Danny Wilson : Stay with me, baby.

  Crow T. Robot : Come on, "stay with me, baby", is that all you can say?

  [sobbing] 

  Tom Servo : Kill them all, kill them, please, kill them!

  [sobbing] 

  Joel : Come on, hey you guys, calm down. Hey, it's only a movie, we can handle it. Okay?
