Season 1

In the Baa-ginning [pilot]

Ben Plotz: The farm! The Idyllic home of Farmer John - a man who loves farming so much his first name is "Farmer".

Farmer John: Hands off my Sheepie!

General Specific: Dagnabbit, man! This is a matter of national security! I must have that sheep! I'm in charge of a top secret agency, you know.

Farmer John: Really? Which one?

General Specific: I can't tell you. It's a secret.

Farmer John: I won't tell.

General Specific: But if I told you, it wouldn't be a secret!

Farmer John: Well, if you won't tell, then I'll take my sheep and go home.

General Specific: Ooh! I wouldn't do that if I were you! If you don't give me that sheep, my soldiers will return and destroy your farm! Destroy it!

Be Still My Bleating Heart [1.1]

Ranting Swede: It-a makes me so mad! [takes out a meatball] Why do people call these meatballs? [throws the meatball off-screen] They're not balls! [starts bouncing a basketball] A ball, you can play with! A ball is fun, and bouncy, bouncy, bouncy! [takes out the meatball again] This, it just goes to pieces if you try to hit it with a tennis racket! It doesn't even hurt if you kick it! [the meatball splatters on the floor, and he kicks it] These are meat-LUMPS! These are lumps, not balls [a beach ball appears, and he throws them off-screen] I can't understand it! [saddening up] And it's my own people doing this. I hang my head in shame.

General Specific: [over the phone]: We'll be right over!

'[doorbell rings and Lady Richington answers it]'

Lady Richington: How did you get here so fast?

General Specific: We used the plot device!

Plot Device: Hello!

Ben Plotz: Suddenly, Sheep hears a voice, a voice that will change his live forever!

Random Guy: Peanuts, get your peanuts here.

Ben Plotz: Sorry, not that one, the next one, coming up.

Lady Richington: Come along, Swanky.

General Specific: Private Public, try to find me something for these inexplicable memory lapses I've been having.

Private Public: I'll get on it, sir.

General Specific: Thank you. Oh yes, and try to find me something for these inexplicable memory lapses I've been having.

Private Public: Right away, sir.

---

General Specific: Private Public, I have this nefarious desire to capture that sheep, but I can't remember why.

Private Public: Maybe you should check the pilot script, sir.

To Bleat or Not to Bleat [1.2]

Angry Scientist: What is it with you? Are you in the getting of the craziness thing?

General Specific: Now is not the time to discuss this, Mad Scientist.

Angry Scientist: First of all, I am not mad! I am angry! I am an angry scientist! That is what it is saying on my card of businesses!

---

Private Public: The men are very excited about taking a day off from sheep-capturing to play this softball game, sir.

General Specific: I'm happy to allow it, Private Public. Of course, seeing how we're members of a secret military organization, security was a priority. But I ensured that no one would know about today's game.

Private Public: Except the opposing team.

General Specific: Uh... There might be a slight change of plans, Private Public.

Belle of the Baah [1.3]

[the Sultan's guards reach for the diamond to play catch]

Sultan: Wait a second! Look, I like a good game of catch as much as the next sultan, but can't you use a softball, instead of my super valuable diamond?

Tall Guard: But the diamond is so pretty.

Sultan: That's why I'd hate for something to happen to it. Come on, use a softball.

[pulls out a softball]

Short Guard: But we really, really want to use the diamond! We'll be so careful. Please?

Tall Guard: I'll be your best friend.

Sultan: Okay, but no more than five minutes. I'm timing.

The Narrator: [ending the episode] Sheep is a total failure.

Angry Scientist: So, I have invented something that will guarantee be catching that sheep - a time machine.

General Specific: I already have one. See? [shows his watch] The big hand's on the 6, and the little hand's on the 2.

Angry Scientist: Not a watch, you imbeciliated general person! I am talking about a time traveling machine that is abling us to travels anywhere in time.

Private Public: If you can invent a time machine, why can't you invent a ray gun that works without a sheep?

Angry Scientist: I am an artist, okay? Did anyone be telling Picasso how to be dancing? [General Specific and Private Public look confused] Okay, painting, whatever, you are getting my pointedness.
