Dialogue
[edit]- Elizabeth: So in the hours just before midnight, the people of Briarville buried Trantor the Troll in the cold, damp ground. The end.
- Teacher: Thank you, Elizabeth. Class, what did you think of her report?
- Teacher: So, uh, Elizabeth, what was the curse the troll put on Phineas?
- Elizabeth: Well, legend has it that from that moment on, Phineas' descendants would get dumber and dumber... and dumber.
- Kenny: Ernest, I know. What we need is...a tree house!
- Ernest: I thought we needed dress shields.
- Trantor: Bring me the head of Ernest P. Worrell!
- Trantor: You’re gonna pay for the sins of your forefathers!
- Ernest: I didn't have four fathers! I just had one father and I didn't know him that well!
- Ernest: How 'bout a bumper sandwich, Boogerlips? Eh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh
- [when seeing Trantor the Troll for the first time]
- Ernest: Ahhhhh! Boy, I sure hope you're from Keebler!
- Ernest: You better back off. You don't wanna fight me, I know tai chi, kung fu, chow mein, and I saw Hulkamania three times once in slow mo.
- Ernest: I never knew when to quit. Just ask my fourth grade teacher.
- [repeated line]
- Ernest's fourth grade Teacher: He never knew when to quit.
- [while driving to the treehouse with a now wooden Rimshot]
- Ernest: What good is a wooden dog? Oh, sure they swim better, but what am I going to call him? Splinter?
- Ernest: Boy, Jimmy. When you play charades, you play for keeps. You know what I mean?
- Ernest: [about the troll] He looked like a big giant Mr. Potato Head. Except he was shaped more like a watermelon.
- Ernest as a lumberjack: There ain't no trees in Botswana. Nuh uh, I know. I AM a Botswanian lumberjack, and I ain't never had a job...
- Ernest: [as the old lady] A little nasal hygiene will go a long way young man. Here you go! [dumps milk on a troll] I hope you're grateful. Little trolls in China don't even get milk.
- Ernest: [being attacked by the troll] Help, help! May day! May day! Christmas Day! Colombus Day!
- Old Lady Hackmore: [to Kenny] Sometimes, you've got to do what YOU know is right, no matter what anybody tells you.
- Ernest: Gosh, Rimshot! Pretty soon, the kids won't have to worry about eating their Brussel sprouts because the Brussel sprouts will be eating them!
