Johnny

• [first lines of the film; voice over] Of all the continents on the planet ... There is none quite like... Australia. [The camera zooms into Australia] And it vast, dramatic wilderness called ... The Outback.
• [to the koala bullies] You know, you shouldn't judge a bear by its fur. I mean, I'm just like you.
• I just want to fit in. I wish people like me for who I am. I wish I was ... [showing a picture of Wild Bushman] like him!

Hamish

• [first lines; spotting Johnny for the first time] Look at that rare and white koala. Higgens, we finally found that golden ticket back to the carnival.
• What if I told you there is a place for special little fellas just like you? [Johnny: Really?] Oh sure!
• [to Lug] A mistake ... I am willing to forgive. See, we can make a deal.
• Don't you agree? Think... unique and unique sells. Now come and take a look at your new home.
• Now, why can't you be? You'd be an animal action adventurer. [grabs the picture of Wild Bushman] Like a Wild Bushman, but with claws. We might even make it to the Big Top.

Dialogue

[That night, Lug is having a talk with Johnny, Hamish and Higgins]

Lug: I told you stay out of the Big Top! You don't even deserve a booth in the freak show (anymore).

Hamish: Lug. Maybe. We can fix their show.

Lug: Powder Puff show is OVER! No one cares about a white koala! [walks away]

[Higgins tail is on fire and he tries to blow out the fire]

Lug: [to Johnny] Don't even think about a new show, baby.

[Lug walks into the trailer as Johnny and his friends sigh sadly]
