Dialogue

[edit]
Kowalski: Yule log engaged.
Skipper: All right, boys! Stand by for eggnog!
Kowalski: Aye aye, Skipper!
Rico: EGGNOG!
Skipper: Private?
Private: I'll pass, thank you.
Skipper and Kowalski: [in unison] Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!
Skipper: Well done, Rico! This guy can really hold his nog.
Skipper: 21:10 hours, boys! Engage cranberries! [Rico is playing the "Knife game" at the table] Rico! Not at the table. [noticing a problem] Hold on a second! Something's missing!
Kowalski: Cranberries: check! Eggnog: check!
Skipper: Give me a headcount.
Kowalski: [grabs abacus] We have three heads, sir!
Skipper: Where's the private?!
Kowalski: Unknown, sir! It would appear that he's [grabs milk carton] missing!
[Kowalski shows milk carton with a big 'missing' advert for the private]
Skipper: Missing? Hoover Dam! Wait, there he is. He just went to bed. [pulls off sheets, revealing a bowling pin underneath] What the...?! [slapping the pin] What have you done with Private?! Talk, Mister!
Kowalski: Skipper! Over here!
Skipper: [to pin] I'll deal with you later. [slaps the pin again]
Kowalski: Oh, no. He must be out there all by himself.
Skipper: He's one of us, men. You all know the Penguin Credo.
Kowalski: Never bathe in hot oil and Bisquick?
Skipper: [facepalms] No! [Rico speaks Japanese gibberish] No, that's the Walrus Credo! It's "Never swim alone." Private's out there all by himself, and we never leave one of our own.
Kowalski and Rico: Oh, yeah.
Skipper: Now let's go.
Private: Oh, that's perfect! Just the thing for a sad polar bear.
Skipper: Kowalski, analysis.
Kowalski: Adrenaline, sweat and sardines. These tracks are fresh, sir.
Skipper: He's close. I can feel it.
Nana: What kind of cut-rate junk is this? It's lousy workmanship it's what it is.
Kowalski: Uh-oh. We may have a problem.
Nana: Everywhere I look, junk. These are no good at all! Junk!
Skipper: We need to get closer. 10:00, men. Blend! Blend! Blend!
Rico: [pulls out a stick of dynamite and a match] Kaboom?
Skipper: Yes, Rico. Kaboom.
[Rico blows up the area surrounding the apartment door, causing the door itself to fall from the lack of support and giving the Penguins an escape route]
