Dialogue from film [edit]

Ace Ventura: [leaning at the bottom of the staircase] That's a lovely wrap you're wearing! Perhaps I could buy you some fluffy new slippers, made from the heads of innocent and defenseless baby seals!
The Monopoly Guy: Who is this ghastly man?
Ace: Ace Ventura, Pet Detective. And you must be the Monopoly guy! Hey...[whispering] thanks for the free parking.
Pompous woman: Another activist, McGuire.
The Monopoly Guy: Activist, yes...
[snobby laugh]
Ace: [imitating him] Activist, yes, mhmhmhmhmhmhmhmhm!
Pompous Woman: Mr. Ventura, there is nothing wrong with enjoying the fruits of nature. You should try it sometime.
Ace: Alrighty then!

[smacks man in the face which knocks him unconscious, drapes him over his shoulders and begins to sing and dance exotically]

Ace: [shakes man] Do not pass Go! Do not collect $200!
[hands back man to pompous woman]
Ace: It's lovely, but I fancy myself in autumn
Attendant: [lisping] Peanuts?
Ace Ventura: [looks down] Yes, I have one right here. It's bulky, but I consider it carry-on.
Attendant: [holding bag of peanuts] Peanuts.
Ace Ventura: Oh, I see.
Wachati Princess: That is a dart of the Watchootoo shaman.
Ace Ventura: The whattie whattun?
[after Ace drives the jeep on a disastrous journey through the jungle]
Ace Ventura: Ah, there's the consulate.
Fulton Greenwall: Oh, thank God.
Ace Ventura: [still driving at top speed] Now if I can just find a parking spot.
Fulton Greenwall: Perhaps we should slow down just a teensy-weensy bit?
Ace Ventura: Nonsense, poopy-pants.
Fulton Greenwall: We're going a bit fast. Really.
[Ace sends the jeep flipping through the air, until it lands in the carpark]
Ace Ventura: L-l-l-l-l-l-l-like a glove.
[Ace has been caught spying on the Wachootoos]
Ace Ventura: I'm sure it's fine. Ouda's probably going for help right now.
Ouda: [being dragged over by the Wachootoos] Hello, Ace. They found me. No sweat.
Ace Ventura: Don't beat yourself up.
Wachootoo Medicine Man: [upon seeing Ace] Equinsu ocha!
Ace Ventura: [to Ouda] What does "equinsu ocha" mean?
Ouda: White devil.
Ace Ventura: Well, tell him I'm not.
Ouda: I only met you. How do I know?
Wachootoo Medicine Man: [to other Wachootoos] Equinsu ocha! Equinsu ocha!
Ouda: He said...
Ace Ventura: Let me guess. "White devil, white devil"?
Ouda: Yes! You speak Wachootoo?
Ace Ventura: Mine's a little rusty. Tell them what I'm saying. [faces the Wachootoos] I come in peace!
Ouda: [in poorly-translated Wachootoo] White Devil say, "I will harm you."
[The Wachootoos look suspicous]
Ace Ventura: [to Ouda] I couldn't help but notice the "equinsu ocha" part. Did you just refer to me as "white devil"?
Ouda: That's how they know you.
Ace Ventura: Leave that part out from now on! [to Wachootoos] I represent the princess!
Ouda: [in poorly-translated Wachootoo] "I am a princess."
[The Wachootoos look confused; one young man eyes Ace with interest]
Ace Ventura: War is hell. The last thing we want... is a fight!
Ouda: [in poorly-translated Wachootoo] "I want to fight, so go to hell."
[The Wachootoos roar in anger]
Fulton Greenwall: You must be very proud, Ace.
Ace Ventura: Pride is an abomination. One must forego the self to obtain total spiritual creaminess, and avoid the chewy chunks of degradation.
The Tiny Warrior: [shrieking in Watchootoo after going to consumate his marriage to the Wachati princess]
Ace Ventura: What's that he's saying?
Fulton Greenwall: I think he's saying she's not a virgin. [looks at Ace]
Ace Ventura: ... They can tell that?!
Ace Ventura: Mmm, this fruit paste is delicious, and the pottery is lovely.
Ouda: It's made from guano.
Ace Ventura: Guano. Sounds so familiar.
[Ace starts licking the remains of the fruit paste from the bottom of the bowl]
Fulton Greenwall: Bat droppings.
[Ace drops the bowl spitting the remains of the paste and wiping off his tongue]
Fulton Greenwall: Guano is their chief resource, they use it to made many things in the village.
Ace Ventura: ... Yummy!
Ace Ventura: What type of bat are we talking about?
Fulton Greenwall: The Great White Bat, of course.
Ace Ventura: Corpuscular chiroptera?!
Fulton Greenwall: Yes, but to the natives, Shikaka.
[Natives kneel in respect of the name every time it is mentioned]
Ace Ventura: Shikaka. [they kneel again] Shikaka. [they kneel once more] Shikasha. [they begin to kneel but catch on that he didn't say the name right] Ah! Sssssshhhhhhhish-kabab. Sssssshhhh- "Shawshank Redemption". CHI-CA-GO! [Chief kneels] You're outta there! [points outside] Go on, you're gone, go on.
Fulton Greenwall: Bumbawe atuna. Bumbawe atuna.
Ace Ventura: Nice to meet you. Bumblebee tuna. Bumblebee tuna. Excuse me. [whispers to a crouching native] Your balls are showing. Bumblebee tuna.
Ace Ventura: [smiling nervously] Okay, everything here seems good. Big load off my mind. You can speculate all you want but unless you check it out for yourself, you never know. [chuckles] We should head back now.
Fulton Greenwall: Aren't you going to go investigate?
Ace Ventura: There's no reason for anyone to go in there. Ever. I sense it as a holy man.
Fulton: But I thought you said--
Ace Ventura: It's DARK! I could fall into a precipice!
Ouda: Here you go.
[hands him a torch]
Ace Ventura: [gives look] Spank you, Helpy Helperton.
[Ace rolls on the floor, as if attempting a daring escape]
Ace Ventura: GREENWALL, HIT THE LIGHTS! THE SWITCH ON THE WALL BESIDE YOU - GO FOR IT! [crawls around furiously; goes up to the fireplace and sticks his head in it] FLICK IT, QUICK!
[Greenwall does nothing]
Ace Ventura: Alrighty then, shall we go to jail?
[with Greenwall at top of the huge stairs leading to a temple]
Ace Ventura: I'll meet you at the bottom. There's still one more thing I must do before I go.
[close-up of slinky going down huge steps to temple]
Ace Ventura: Isn't this incredible?! It's gonna be some kind of a record! [singing] Everyone loves a Slinky! You gotta get a Slinky! Slinky, Slinky! Go Slinky go!
[Slinky stops on the second to last step]
Ace Ventura: Awwwwww, MAN! Can you believe it?! It was right there! Can I do it one more time?
Fulton Greenwall: Forgive me, Mr. Ventura, but if we don't hurry now, we might miss the plane.
Ace Ventura: Of course. How selfish of me. Let's do all the things that you wanna do.
[Ace is horrified at being inside a room decorated with the heads and bodies of animals]
Cadby: Something wrong, Mr. Ventura?
Ace Ventura: Of course not. This is a lovely room of death. Take care, now. Bye-bye, then.
Fulton Greenwall: My name is Fulton Greenwall, and I am looking for an Ace Ventura.
Ashram Monk: No man here carries with him a label.
Fulton Greenwall: Oh, yes. No names, how silly of me. Umm, he's an American.
Ashram Monk: We are all children of the same life force.
Fulton Greenwall: Yes, of course we are. [thinking of any other descriptions] Um, well, he bends over and speaks from his rear.
Ashram Monk: Oh, him. Right this way.
[Ace is losing against the Tiny Warrior in the Watchootoo Circle of Death]
Ouda: Ace! He much better biter than you.
Ace Ventura: [looks annoyed] Doi-i!!!
[Watchootoo chief speaks in Watchootoo to Ace]
Ouda: Wachootoo Chief say, "You friend to Watchootoo."
[Ace snorts and the Watchootoo chief speaks again]
Ouda: "But if curse of Shikaka not lifted by tomorrow sun at top of sky, Wachootoo kill all Wachati, and smash your head on a rock."
Ace Ventura: ... Super. Take care now, bye-bye then.
[Ace is finally convinced to take on the case of the missing bat]
Ashram Monk: Great, I'll go tell the others.
Ace Ventura: Master? Break it to them gently...
[Minutes later, the monks open champagne and throw a party, while Ace and Fulton are walking out of the monistary.]
Ace Ventura: I've never seen them act like that before. Denial can be an ugly thing!

  • Most people wouldn't last one minute in the real wild nature. Ace Ventura, not even a second.
  • New Animals. New Adventures. Same Hair
  • The great plains of Africa, the cradle of civilization. A place where there exists a balance between nature and man. So ancient, so sacred, no man would dare to disturb it. No man but Ace Ventura.
