Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  ["The Pond Couple"] 

  Stanley Griff : [lifting something up next to Dennis's fishbowl]  Guess what I have, Dennis.

  [He pulls off a cloth] 

  Stanley Griff : Ta-da! Oscar! He's our class pet! Miss Diaz said I could take him home this weekend.

  Dennis : That's quite an honor, Stanley.

  Stanley Griff : Yeah. I learned a lot about him. So I know how to take care of him. But you know why I really wanted to bring Oscar home? To meet you.

  Dennis : Really? Is he a goldfish?

  Stanley Griff : Nope, he's a musk turtle. See?

• Elsie : I'll let you in on a little secret, Stanley. At first, Harry and I didn't get along either.

  Stanley Griff : You didn't?

  Harry : We didn't?

  Elsie : Nope. He's a dog and I'm a cat.

  Harry : You're a cat? I thought you were a chihuahua.

• Stanley Griff : It looks like goldfish and musk turtles like living in the same kind of pond.

  Dennis : You mean we share the same habitat. Fresh, cool water with plenty of plant life. I suppose we do, Stanley.

• Oscar : Dinky?

  Dennis : Oscar? Oscar, how are you, old chum? Stanley, this is my old friend Oscar! Can you believe it? We grew up in the same pet store when we were babies.

  Stanley Griff : Wow! But... "Dinky"?

  Dennis : [blushes]  Yes, well, that was my nickname back then, Stanley. I was just much smaller. Let's not talk about it.

  ["The Pond Couple"] 

  Dennis : But the one bad thing about becoming Oscar's friend again is... now I miss him, even his special stink.

  Stanley Griff : Cheer up, Dennis. Oscar needs a place to stay this summer.

  Dennis : He can live right here with us. Good night, musk turtle Stanley.

  Stanley Griff : Good night... Dinky.

  Dennis : Oh.

  ["Who's Afraid of Walter Wolf?"] 

  Ms. Diaz : Okay. Good morning, class. Today we'll work on your macaroni art projects. But first, I want you to meet our newest student. This is Walter. He just moved here. All the way from snowy Alaska.

  Stanley Griff : Cool wolf shirt, Walter. Where'd you get it?

  [Walter stands still and silent] 

  Marci : Maybe he doesn't know.

  Ms. Diaz : Why don't you tell the class something about yourself, Walter?

  Walter : [extended silence, then...]  I like wolves. That's it.

• Stanley Griff : Lester, are you okay? Say something!

  Lester Goldberg : Wo-wo-wolf!

  Dennis : Did somebody cry "wolf"?

  Lester Goldberg : Yeah. Walter is a big, bad, scary wolf.

  Dennis : A big, bad, scary - Lester, are you sure?

  Lester Goldberg : He sure acts like one.

• Harry : So what's the deal on big, bad, scary wolves?

  Stanley Griff : They're not big or bad or scary. We were wrong.

  Dennis : Cheer up, Stanley. We learned something new today.

  Stanley Griff : Yeah, but I still feel bad. We made up our minds before getting to know them.

  Lester Goldberg : Just like we did with Walter.

  Lester Goldberg : I got it! I got it! I - oh!
