- Mung: 10 dollops.
- Gorgonzola: 600 dollops!

- Chowder: Whoa! It smells like floor wax in here.
- Shnitzel: Radda, radda, radda. (Don't touch anything.)
- Chowder: Okay, okay. I won't touch anything. [floats with his feet not touching the floor]
- Shnitzel: Radda radda radda?
- Chowder: Well, I can't follow you, 'cause then I'd be touching the floor, and you said-
- Shnitzel: Radda, radda radda radda.
- Chowder: So I can touch the floor? You need to make up your mind.
The Wrong Address/The Wrong Customer [1.5]
- Mung Daal: My kitchen! My beautiful kitchen, what happened?!
- [The Marzipan Police officers carry Truffles to the back of the police van]
- Truffles: [struggling] What are you doing?! GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF ME!!!
- Mung Daal: Ow! Pepper spray!
- Chowder: Pepper spray? That sounds delicious. [gets pepper sprayed] AAH! I was wrong! I was horribly wrong!
- Rump Roast: Serves you both right. [gets pepper sprayed] AAH! AAH! Ow! What did you do that lady?!
- Truffles: Hey, what is this thing?
- Shnitzel: Pfft. Radda radda.
- Truffles: Oh, the customer. Wait, do you realize what this means?
- Shnitzel: Radda?
- Truffles: The customer came to pick up his own order. [facepalms herself] Ugh, and my idiot husband just left to deliver it. Who knows how long until he gets back? You keep an eye on him, until Dummy McDumbalot comes home.
- Shnitzel: Radda radda radda radda.
- Truffles: Cleaning or no cleaning, you will watch him, or I'll rip your -- oh, hello. Don't worry. Shnitzel here will take care of you until your order is ready. That's what we pay him for.
- Mr. Sambal: Ah, towels. [strips off Shnitzel's apron, leaving him in his underwear]

- Officer Loose Meat: A hostage situation? [faints]
- Shnitzel: [surprised] Radda?
- Sgt. Hoagie: Don't let his size fool you. Your captor is extremely dangerous.
- Officer: And crafty.
- Sgt. Hoagie: And crafty.
- Officer: And vicious.
- Sgt. Hoagie: And vicious.
- Officer Monte Cristo: And dangerous.
- Sgt. Hoagie: I said, "And dangerous."
- Officer Monte Cristo: I'm just trying to help. Don't yell at me.

- Officer PB&J: And a meanie.
- Officer Snow Leopard: And a bad boy.
- Sgt. Hoagie: Really?
- Officer Snow Leopard: Yeah.

- [The police officers walk around chairs in a circle]
- Officer Sloppy Joe: [humming "Pop Goes the Weasel"] And stop!
- [The officers sit in chairs leaving the sarge standing]
- Sgt. Hoagie: No, no, no, do it again.
- Shnitzel: Radda.
- Truffles: I don't know where the customer went.
- Shnitzel: Radda radda radda radda radda!
- Truffles: Huh, in danger? You are the only danger here.
- Shnitzel: [grabs Truffles' hand] Radda radda radda.
- Truffles: Let go of me! I'm not leaving.
- Shnitzel: Radda radda.
- Truffles: No. No more cockamamie stories. You just want to leave work 'cause you're lazy.
- Shnitzel: Radda?
- Truffles: You heard me. La-a-a-a-a-zy!
- Shnitzel: Ah, ah! Radda radda radda radda radda!
- Truffles: RADDA RADDA RADDA! Radda.
- [During the end credits]
- Puppet Chowder: I just had a dream that you were a great big, delicious sandwich, but you didn't have any cheese on you. Why didn't you have any cheese, Mung?
- Puppet Mung Daal: That's a question for another time, my boy.
- Puppet Chowder: Shnitzel was in my dream, too, except he was a big cup of cloffee with cream and sugar.
- Puppet Mung Daal: Well, that makes sense.
- Puppet Chowder: And then I realized, I become a big carrot!
- Puppet Mung Daal: What happened next?
- Puppet Chowder: [as a big carrot] I don't know, you tell me.
- Puppet Mung Daal: [wakes up, startled] Oh, what? What? Huh?
- Puppet Chowder: You were sleeping, Mung. Sheesh.
- Puppet Mung Daal: You don't know what you're missin'...
- Puppet Chowder: If you aren't in the kitchen.
- [They both lay their heads on their pillows]
Mahjongg Night/Stinky Love [1.6]
- Truffles: [hits Chowder on the head with a frying pan] HANDS OFF! The ladies will be here any minute to play Mahjongg.
- Chowder: But I didn’t get to taste yet.
- Truffles: Ah, ah, ah. These foods are for the ladies only. Are you a lady?
- Chowder: If I say "yes," can I have one?
- Truffles: [hits Chowder on the head with the frying pan again] You already had dinner! I need both of you out of the kitchen, NOW! [door opens and Truffles' lady friends enter] Oh, the ladies!
- Empanada: Oh, so adorable! I could just eat you up! [Chowder blushes, but is moved out of the way] Out of the way, Chowder! I've been waiting all week for these meviled eggs! [scarfs the eggs]
- Kasha: Save some for the rest of us, Empanada.
- Chutney: You eat it all again, and I'm gonna kill you.
- Truffles: Hey! [turns to the back] I thought I heard something.
- [Chowder snores as he pretends to be asleep]
- Kasha: Don't get too distracted, Truffles. I want you to see when I beat you this hand.
- Truffles: Oh, you will [turns back] NOT beat me! The only beating you will see is your own!
- Chowder: Rats. I guess those weren’t meviled eggs, huh? Hey, I bet if I go down and apologize, Truffles will reward me for being so professional.
- Kiwi: Now that’s some good thinking, Chowder.
- Chowder: [noticing his doorway unknowingly blocked up by Truffles] Weird. Someone accidentally blocked up my door. Hmm.
- Citizen: [from below] Hey kid! What the heck are you doing up there?
- Chowder: I'm going to apologize so Truffles will give me meviled eggs!
- Citizen: Oh. Well, good luck with that.
- Chowder: Hey, Truffles, I'm sorry about earlier. So can I have an egg now? [the strong wind blows the colors off Truffles' body, leaving the outlines] Uh-oh. [runs up back to his room, again, screaming, as Truffles flies after him]
- Chowder: I WANT MEVILED EGGS!!
- Chowder: Finally! [stuffs a meviled egg in his mouth and ends up spitting it out] That’s disgusting!
- [Kimchi circles around Shnitzel's head]
- Shnitzel: [trying to shoo Kimchi away] Ughhh! Radda radda radda!
- Chowder: Aw, Shnitzel, that's just Kimchi's way of saying he likes you. Wanna see Kimchi's way of saying he needs to go to the bathroom?
- Mung Daal: [after Chowder sniffs the glumberger cheese] Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between good cheese and bad feet.
- Mung Daal: Chowder, is the cobbler okay?
- Chowder: Yes, but I'm leaving it with Kimchi.
- Mung Daal: What?
- Chowder: I think they're in love.
- Mung Daal: Well, Kimchi, being a ladies' man myself, I have to say; it is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all.
- Chowder: What does that mean?
- Mung Daal: It means love stinks.
At Your Service/Chowder and Mr. Fugu [1.12]
- Mung Daal: Listen up woman, that mood fruit is mine!
- Ms. Endive: As usual, nothing but crazy talk from your lips.
- Mung Daal: I'll tell you what's crazy -- this rump of yours, that's what's crazy! Now will you kindly move it out of my way?
- Ms. Endive: I'd be happy to oblige, Mr. Daal. Whoops! [shoves Mung aside with her rump]
- Mung Daal: [spins around and falls in a hole; calling to Chowder] Chowder, kick it enough high gear!
- Chowder: High gear, comin' up!
- Panini: Num-nums! Are you [rubs Chowder on the cheek] okay?
- Chowder: Please don't touch me.
- Ms. Endive: You know, [puts the mood fruit on around her neck] I love the way these exotic mood fruits change color according to one's mood. [the mood fruit colors change to brown, her happiness]
- Chowder: [whispering] They're due to brown.
- Mung Daal: Shh.
- Panini: I think they look lovely on you Ms. Endive.
- Ms. Endive: Yes. Yes, they do. And do you know what would look lovely on these two? Grease!
- Chowder and Mung: Grease?
- Ms. Endive: Grease!
- [Mung and Chowder are in a big bowl scooping up all the grease]
- Mung Daal: I don't know how that woman thinks we're gonna get all this cold grease cleaned up when she keeps... [Endive pours more grease on them] pouring more on our heads!
- Mung Daal: This ain't gonna be fun.
- Ms. Endive: [mood fruit colors change to red, her anger; turns to Mung, threateningly] You! You can try your little tricks, you can play your little childish games, but rest assured, I will break you! [mood fruit colors change to black, her fury; later, drags Mung and Chowder to a cell door below her kitchen]
- Mung Daal: Woman, I will never say you're better than me!
- Chowder: Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never!
- Ms. Endive: Panini, unlock the cell.
- Panini: Yes, Ms. Endive. [unlocks the cell door]

The Bruised Banana/Shnitzel and the Lead Farfel [1.14]
- Mung Daal: What just happened?!
- Chowder: [pokes Shnitzel's hand] You're all squishy. Like a big marshmallow! [bites Shnitzel's hand; causing Shnitzel to scream in pain] Geh! You do not taste like a marshmallow.
- Shnitzel: Radda, radda. [touches his hand]
- Mung Daal: Shnitzel, have you gone soft?!
- Shnitzel: [panicking] Radda. Radda radda radda! Ra-raddaradda radda!
- Lead Farfel: So, you dare challenge the dreaded Lead Farfel? I will crush you like the worthless worm you are!
- Mung Daal: Each line represents how far the last person was able to carry the Farfel.
- Chowder: [spots a line with Shnitzel's name on it] Hey, this one says "Shnitzel."
- Lead Farfel: [wakes up] Shnitzel! Have you come to gloat on victories past?!
- Chowder: No. Shnitzel's totally weak now. He can't even lift a pickle jar.
- [Shnitzel groans and cries]
- Lead Farfel: [laughs] Can't even lift a pickle jar. How does that make you feel, little man? Does it burn you with shame? [sniffs] Ahhh. I can smell your failure. It's a most delicious aroma.
- Mung Daal: Use that shame, Shnitzel! Be its master, poke it in the gut, call it "Grandpa." We'll whip up that mushy body of yours back into shape, and when you can move the farfel, you will once more be strong!
- Lead Farfel: Regain your former glory, Shnitzel, or be squashed like a BUG!
- Lead Farfel: Final distance -- 6 inches... backwards! [laughs] Once again, the weak have been crushed, baby!
- [During credits]
- Puppet Chowder: Shnitzel, what color is the universe? What if the sky smelled like fish? Who designed our brains? What comes after the letter "Z"? Do you believe in alternate dimensions? Do you believe in ghosts? Do you believe in alternate ghosts? Shnitzel, how much more could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? Shnitzel, what makes you cry?

Shnitzel Quits [1.17]
- Dog Citizen: Hey, that uh, that thing on your beak.
- Bird Citizen: My snood?

- Ms. Endive: Be right there! [answers the door] What do you want?
- Shnitzel: Radda radda.
- Ms. Endive: You're here about the job? [flees back inside and back to the door, wrapped in towels] Oh, I'm sorry. I just stepped out of the shower. So, you've come to your senses and want to work a real chef, huh?
- Shnitzel: Radda radda.
- Ms. Endive: Well, let me see if you're right for the position.
- Chowder: He may have been bigger and stronger, but he was crazier. [starts crying] I MISS SHNITZEL!!
- Mung Daal: Chowder, please! Come on now! If you start crying, I'll start crying. [starts crying as well] I miss him, too!
- Shnitzel: Radda radda radda, radda radda radda.
- Ms Endive: [heartbroken, confused] What? What do you mean this is just a job? I thought what we had was real. You-you came back for me, because you love me right? Right?!
- Shnitzel: Radda radda radda. [holds up a picture of him and a female rock]
- Ms. Endive: [lividly] YOU, HAVE, A GIRLFRIEND?!
- Panini: He jumped, Ms. Endive.
- Ms Endive: They always do, my dear. They always do.
- Puppet C.H. Greenblatt: [picks up Shnitzel and sets him down on a cloud, and erases the chains off him and draws his outfit] There. All better. Hey, Shnitzel, it's me, your creator. Listen, dude, I'm telling you. You got to go back to Mung's.
- Shnitzel: Radda!
- Puppet C.H. Greenblatt: Don't you get it? Without you there, nothing's right! It's like the cosmos is out of whack!
- Shnitzel: Oh, radda radda, radda radda radda, radda radda radda!
- Puppet C.H. Greenblatt: They don't appreciate you? That's crazy talk. [holds up a photo of Chowder and Mung feeding soup to a sick Shnitzel] When you were deathly sick with the plague pox, who nursed you back to health with homemade soup?
- Shnitzel: Oh, radda radda.
- Puppet C.H. Greenblatt: That's right, pal -- Mung and Chowder. [holds up another photo of Chowder and Mung giving Shnitzel a loan of cash] And when you needed to borrow 3,000 dollops to pay off your student loans, who gave you the cash -- no questions asked?
- Shnitzel: Oh, radda. Radda radda.
- Puppet C.H. Greenblatt: That's right. [hops up a third photo of Shnitzel being chased by an angry mob] And when you ended up lost in the bad part of Lasagna Town after that really crazy birthday party, who drove five hours to come and get you?
- Shnitzel: Radda radda radda.
- Puppet C.H. Greenblatt: Oh, well, if they had known you were in trouble, I'm sure they would have come. Any-who, you need them as much as they need you.
The Apprentice Games [1.20]
- Chowder: [lands on top of Gorgonzola] My tushy feels warm.
- Gorgonzola: [lifts Chowder off himself] Get...off...me, Chowder!
- Chowder: Guess what, Gorgonzola. Mung says I get ultimate thrice cream if I win.
- Gorgonzola: You will not be winning anything.
- Chowder: Why not?
- Gorgonzola: Because I’m going to make sure you lose.
- Chowder: Why?
- Gorgonzola: Because.
- Chowder: Because why?
- Gorgonzola: Just because!
- Chowder: Just because why?
- Gorgonzola: Because I said so!
- Chowder: Well, which is it? Am I gonna lose just because you said so, or did you say so just because I’m gonna lose?
- Gorgonzola: [crossly] STOP TALKING!
- Chowder: So, do you want me to stop talking and lose or lose and stop talking?
- Stilton: Yo, down in front.
- Ms. Endive: Hey!
- Stilton: What?
- Ms. Endive: Hey!
- Stilton: What?
- Ms. Endive: Hey!
- Stilton: What?
- Ms. Endive: Hey! [Stilton burps] Hey!!!
- Gorgonzola: [threateningly] I'm going to kill you.
- Chowder: MUNG, I WANT TO GO HOME!!
- Mung Daal: [holding up the ultimate thrice cream] Focus, Chowder!
- Ultimate Thrice Cream: [cheering] Gold medal! Gold medal!
- Chowder: [to Gorgonzola; angrily] I AM SICK AND TIRED OF YOU PICKING ON ME! I AM A LIVING BEING! A LIVING BEING!!
- [Chowder and Gorgonzola reach shore after Chowder saved him from drowning]
- Gorgonzola: Chowder, you -- you -- you saved my life.
- Chowder: Come back to me, Gorgonzola. Come back to me. You’ve got so much to live for.
- Gorgonzola: I just said, "you saved my life."
- Chowder: I feel like we were just starting to become friends. And now -- now you are gone forever!
- Gorgonzola: [springs off from Chowder’s arms] I'M NOT DEAD!
- Chowder: Gorgonzola! You're alive! Oh, thank goodness! I was starting to fall into this really dark depression. I mean, we lost every event, Mung’s disappointed in me, and then, I nearly drowned my new best friend.
- Gorgonzola: Well, while I do have to draw the line at the word "friend," you did, technically, just saved my life.
- Chowder: I did?
- Gorgonzola: Yeah, so I guess you’re not a total waste.
- Chowder: I guess you’re not a solid waste, either.
- Gorgonzola: [to himself] I’m gonna kill him.
- Chowder: It breaks my heart to see you in so much pain. Would it help to talk about it?
- Gorgonzola: I don’t need your help!
- Chowder: Stilton’s hard on you, huh?
- Gorgonzola: Stop it!
- Chowder: That’s just the pain talking.
- Gorgonzola: I’m fine!
- Chowder: Does he blow his burps at you?
- Gorgonzola: [bursts in tears, crying] I try so hard!
- Chowder: I know you do. But the truth is, you can’t help being the dirty ragamuffin you are, any more than I can help being the loveable dumpling I am. But quite frankly, if that’s not good enough for Mung, and Stilton, then, well, sir, that’s just not right! [slurps some of Gorgonzola’s crying tears]
- Gorgonzola: That’s it! We need to go back and reclaim our dignity.
- Chowder: Is that a new flavor of thrice cream?
- Gorgonzola: [to himself] So gonna kill him -- really.
- Ms. Endive: [drops down on the ground with a thud; furious] WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! [Chowder, Mung, Gorgonzola, and Stilton scream terrifyingly] You're joke of an apprentice scared away the queen! Now who wins, huh, smart guys?!
- Mung Daal: We have all been gone crazy.
- Ms. Endive: Right. Medals are meaningless.
- Stilton: Absolute meaningless.
- [The three masters start fighting over the gold medals]
- Panini: So, what do you guys wanna do now?
- Chowder: I want to buy the ultimate thrice cream Mung promised me, with these [holds up two gold medals] two shiny gold sments I found. Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum.

- Chowder: So, does this happen a lot?
- Officer Cheesesteak: Only to the sarge.
- Chowder: Why do women hate him?
- Officer Cheesesteak: I don’t know. They just do. They just do.
- Mung Daal: No money means... [Scene changes to the voice actors of the main characters] no animation!

- John DiMaggio (Shnitzel): Radda radda.
- Dwight Schultz (Mung Daal): No, we are not going home! We've got to save the show.

- Shnitzel: [lifts up his head] Radda?

- [Endive's kitchen; Mung is now in Endive's body as he screams horrifyingly in the reflection and starts going berserk]
- Mung Daal: Hey, this is kind of fun.
- Rhino Lady: Gelato, what is wrong with society today?
- Gelato: Yes, yes, I dare say. If I see one more thing to upset my uptight sensibilities, then we would have to form an angry mob.
- [The six people stop in front of Chowder, Mung, Shnitzel, and Truffles, stripped from their fruit suits; Gelato gasps and faints]
