- Bullwinkle J. Moose: [after waving farewell to the Statue of Liberty] Hmm, she's not waving back.
- Rocket J. Squirrel: You wouldn't want her to drop the torch, would you?
- Captain Peachfuzz: Now, don't be silly, Rocky. Nobody goes fishing for the wailing whale. Let's go back.
- Rocket J. Squirrel: All right, Captain. You can set our course for home.
- Bullwinkle J. Moose: Rocky, we gonna give up already?
- Rocket J. Squirrel: Shh. Remember what happened earlier in the episode?
- Bullwinkle J. Moose: You're not gonna repeat the same joke?
- Rocket J. Squirrel: They liked it once, they'll love it twice!
- Captain Peachfuzz: Bless my stars and garters! It's Rocky Squirrel! How did you...
- Rocket J. Squirrel: There's no time to talk now, Captain! Shove those controls to full speed ahead!
- Bullwinkle J. Moose: You out of your mind, Rocky? We'll bash into the Statue of Liberty for sure long!
- Narrator: Yes, the Athabasco was right on the verge of disaster as Captain Peachfuzz grabbed for the engine control and then...
- [Peachfuzz has the ship go in reverse]
- Narrator: With a fearsome sound, the ship reversed direction and began to travel backwards.
- Bullwinkle J. Moose: But you said full speed ahead, Rocky.
- Rocket J. Squirrel: Sure, I knew he'd do just the opposite.
- Captain Peachfuzz: Well, you're the boss, Rocky. Where to?
- Rocket J. Squirrel: Well, anyplace we can fish for Maybe Dick.
- Captain Peachfuzz: Maybe Dick?
- Bullwinkle J. Moose: You know about him, I take it.
- Captain Peachfuzz: Yes, and I have only one thing to say to you boys.
- Rocket J. Squirrel: What's that?
- Captain Peachfuzz: Abandon ship!
