Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  ["Web Weavers"] 

  Marci : Come on, Stanley. It's still your turn!

  Stanley Griff : Okay, I've got it. Mimi, do you have a... dolphin?

  Mimi : Nope. Go fish.

• Stanley Griff : [regarding making potholders]  But how does it work?

  Dennis : Well, I think if you look on the back of the box, there are instructions that tell you what to do.

  Marci : Instructions are boring.

  Mimi : [carelessly tosses the back of the box on top of Dennis's fish bowl]  Yeah. All we have to do is just kind of stick all those stretchy things on that metal thingy, right?

• Stanley Griff : Don't worry, Dennis. Harry and Elsie are outside. They won't hear me if I say "The Great Big Book of Everything."

  Harry , Elsie : [lifting the roof off of a dollhouse that they were hiding in]  Harry and Elsie are in the house!

  Dennis : Oh no! Here we go again!

• Mimi : Hey, we did it!

  Stanley Griff : That's because we did it like a spider-- a step at a time. And if we keep going, I bet we'll have a potholder in no time.

  Stanley Griff : And I learned that if you want to do something different, it helps if you take it step by step.

  Dennis : Like going to sleep.

  Stanley Griff : What do you mean?

  Dennis : Well, to fall asleep, the first step is to close your eyes. The second step is to say good night!

  Stanley Griff : Good night, Dennis.

  Stanley Griff : [exiting his house with Mimi, Marci, Lester and Dennis]  It's okay. The rain stopped.

  Lester Goldberg : Phew! It's still so hot out.

  Mimi : Don't worry. It's always nice and cool at the library.

• Marci : I wish we could play in the mud all day long like pigs.

  Stanley Griff : Hey, what a great idea. Maybe if we could meet some pigs, we could figure out how they get to play in the mud all the time.

  ["Muddy Buddies"] 

  Dennis : Mmm, clean sheets feel really good when you wiggle your toes.

  Stanley Griff : Huh, I can imagine. There's nothing like going to sleep in a bowl of clean water.

  Dennis : That sounds pretty good, too. Good night, Dennis.

  Stanley Griff : Good night, little piglet Stanley.
