Dialogue

Bombard: I don't know how much your mother told you about my work. Mary Katherine: Um, she... Nothing. Just that you have a delusional belief in an advanced society of tiny people living in the woods. And it... Well, it ruined your career. Not to mention your marriage. [Bomba looks at her with a hurt expression] Or something.

Dialogue

Mary Katherine: Talking snails. Mub: [referring to Grub] Actually, he's a snail. I'm a slug. No shell over here, baby. It just slows me down.

Dialogue

Mary Katherine: Who are you people? Ronin: We are the Leafmen, protectors of the forest.

Dialogue

Nod: Is that the best you got? Goon: [punches Nod really hard] How's that? Nod: [weakly] Better. Bufo: Nod, you know I like you. Nod: Yeah, I like you, too, Mr. Bufo. Bufo: And yet, you don't do what we agreed. We agreed that you would lose, but then you win. Nod: Now, I can't help it if I'm fast. You want me to lose, you got to give me some better competition. Bufo: It's called teamwork. Maybe if you understood that, the Leafmen wouldn't have kicked you out. Nod: They did not kick me out! I quit! Bufo: [chuckles] I admire your independent spirit, Nod. I miss that. [to his goons] Feed him to something. A snake would be good. Ronin: [appears] Nah, snakes just swallow you whole. Now if you put him in a hornet's nest, that's a show. Bufo: Oh, look, it's Ronin, defender of the weak, pooper of parties, here to ruin the fun. [gestures for his goons to let Nod go] Ronin: I didn't ruin all of it. I let you hit him. Nod: [annoyed] Twice! Ronin: [to Bufo] Hop along now, little froggie. Bufo: Eas

Dialogue

Bufo: Hey, if this is a bad time, I can come back when you're done gardening. [Mandrake's guard pokes him] Oh! Hey! Mandrake: I imagine you're wondering why I invited you here. Bufo: I was frog-marched here at spear point. [Mandrake's guard pokes him again] Ah! How is that "invited"? Mandrake: [shrugs] I let you keep your legs. Bufo: [chuckles] Comedy. Terrific. Funny psychopath. Mandrake: There are rumors that the Leafman Ronin was at your place of business, and that he may have rescued a royal pod. Bufo: [chuckles] Real smooth. You got rid of the queen, but let her pod get away. [chuckles] Plus, your idiot general gets himself mulched. Mandrake: [angry] That idiot general... [shouting] WAS MY SON! Bufo: [stuttering] Uh, of course he was. He had your good looks, and your healthy grey complexion, and forgiving nature. Mandrake: Shut up! What's it gonna be, Bufo? Are you gonna talk, or are you gonna croak? [Bufo whimpers] Where are they taking the pod?

That was the last part of the queen that I h----. That any of us will ever have. [walks away]

Dialogue

Mandrake: My son was born on a night like this. These were his baby fangs. And here's the first skin he ever molted. He was big for a larva. He took after his mother. Mub: [whines] Oh, your stories are boring and tortureous! Mandrake: The Leafmen took him from me! So I took something of theirs. It's basic etiquette. An eye [pokes Grub's eye] for an eye. [pokes Mub's eye] Mub: Jerk! Mandrake: Your pod will bloom here. And when the pod blooms in darkness, it belongs to the darkness. I'll destroy the forest with the very thing you hoped would save it. Grub: I hate to break it to you, but it doesn't say that in the scrolls! Mandrake: It does in the part I have. [shows the piece of scroll that he took from Nim's tree] Mub and Grub: D'oh!

Dialogue

Nim Galuu: Let's see. Moonlight comes in here, moves along here, reaches the pod here. At the moon's highest peak, only time it can bloom. Grub: Do you know what this means? Mud: We single-handedly saved the forest! Eye five! Down low! Too slow! Nod: So, when the pod opens, what happens to you? Mary Katherine: I think I go home. Nod: Well, I... I guess this is...
