Quotes 

• Roddy : Whatever's going on, I assure you, I'm not involved. I'm just an innocent bystander.

  Spike : Rita, Rita, Rita.

  [laughs] 

  Spike : Thought you could give us the slip?

  [Slips and falls] 

  Spike : What are you looking at? Keep still! Come on, then! Right! Who have we got here?

  Whitey : I believe he said his name was Millicent Bystander.

• Roddy : [hanging on to Rita's belt as it starts to break]  No, no don't break! There are things I want to do, sights I want to see.

  [belt breaks; Rita's pants drop] 

  Roddy : That wasn't on the list.

• Rita : Tell me about yourself, Roddy.

  Roddy : Well, there's not much to tell.

  Rita : You know everything about me, warts and all. I don't even know what you do.

  Roddy : I'm... I'm in a boy band.

  Rita : What?

  Roddy : Yeah. Yeah, I'm the posh one.

• Roddy : And who might you be, little chap?

  Shocky : They call me Shocky.

  Roddy : Why do they call you that?

  Shocky : [Shocks Roddy with a battery]  Shocky!

  Roddy : Ohh! Yes, got it.

• [Roddy is using a cell phone as a shield as Rita throws crayons at him; the crayons dial a number] 

  Take Out : Ha Chin Chinese takeout.

  Roddy : Yes, I'm being attacked by a madwoman! She's got crayons!

  Take Out : One chicken chow mein. With wonton?

  Roddy : No, crayons!

  Take Out : No wonton! You want rice? Fried or white?

  Roddy : Fried. No, wait!

  Take Out : You want wonton or what?

  Roddy : Cancel that order.

• Spike : Blimy, it's cold.

  Whitey : That's why I wore me mittens.

  Spike : Wha... Hitmen don't wear mittens! Take them off! You're embarrasing me!

  Whitey : It's all right for you. You've got little hands. They don't freeze as much.

  Rita : What are you, some kind of rat boomerang? Give me back my ruby!

  Roddy : I haven't got your ruby!

  [the ruby falls on his hand] 

  Roddy : Okay. Well, now I've got your ruby.

• Roddy : Will you please tell these people I'm not involved in this?

  Rita : Fine. All right, all right, listen up. This gentleman, he's not from around here.

  Roddy : Thank you.

  Rita : Just look how nicely he's dressed.

  Roddy : Ah, thank you.

  Rita : And why? Because he's an international jewel thief!

  Roddy : Precisely... What? No, no!

• Rita : This is quite tasty.

  Roddy : Thanks. I don't think it's too bad, considering I only had an apple, four raisins and a box of rice.

  Rita : Rice?

  Slug : [singing]  What's that urge from deep inside? / The need to hurl won't be denied / That isn't rice, that's maggots you're eating.

  Maggots : Larva, larva, larva...

  Roddy : Well. That explains why it all ran to one side when I put salt in it.

• Roddy : [singing]  Ice cold Rita / Never did I meet a / Girl who's half so cruel / I offered her a jewel / But she left me stuck / Stranded on a duck / What a shoddy thing to do to Roddy... Me! / That's Roddy St. James of Kensington.

  Singing Slugs : Poor, poor Roddy / Flushed down his own potty / Rita, can't you find it in your heart... to help him?

  Roddy : How mean can one rat be? / Ice cold Rita / Won't you be sweeter to me?

• Spike : Any last requests?

  Roddy : Yes. Could you fly, quite suddenly, off the boat, screaming like a girl?

  Spike : What?

  [Is jerked off the boat by a cord] 

  Spike : AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

• Roddy : When the cat's away, the mice will play!

• Roddy : [Showing Sid the toilet]  After a hard day navigating the sewer pipes, there's nothing better than relaxing in a Jacuzzi whirlpool bath.

• Pegleg : So you're from up top, huh?

  Roddy : Yes.

  Pegleg : I know someone who might be able to help you, might. The captain of the Jammy Dodger.

  Goldfish : I know where it is!

• Rita : It's impossible!

  Roddy : /ENGLAND/ is winning! ANYTHING'S possible!

• Sid : You were going to flush me down the loo!

  Roddy : No, no, no! It's a big jacuzzi, the deluxe model!

  Sid : Well then, you won't mind if I get the bubbles going, will ya?

  Roddy : No, not the lever! Have mercy! No! No! I can't swim!

  Sid : Bon voyage, me old cream cracker. Hold your nose.

  Roddy : No, no, no! You can't do this!

  Sid : You were going to try and flush me? Let's see how you like it!

• Shocky : They call me shocky.

  Roddy : Now why do they call you that?

• Roddy : Maybe I can make it up to you?

  Rita : Get stuffed.

• Rita : Real!

  Roddy : Fake.

  Rita : Real!

  Roddy : Fake.

  Rita : [sighs]  Real.

  Roddy : Fake.

  Rita : REAL!

• Roddy : [Roddy and Rita are running from the thugs]  Rita could we please go a little faster.

  Rita : We don't have too.

  Rita : [hits a button]  Go go purple custard.

• [Roddy throws a fly into a group of frogs] 

  Roddy : Fly at twelve o'clock!

  Fly : Oh, bother...

  [all the frogs try to catch the fly and get their tongues tangled up] 

• Roddy : [gasps, gets grabbed by the metallic hand, and gets moved to a person hiding in the shadows]  Sorry, I didn't mean to intrude, Mr. uh... Captain Skipper Thingy.

  Rita : Hey!

  [emerges from the shadows] 

  Rita : That's *Miss* Captain Skipper Thingy to you!

  Roddy : Oops.

  Rita : What are you doing on my boat?

  Roddy : Look, I've had a really bad day and I just need your help. You see, I've been thrown out of my own home, flushed down my own toile...

  [the boat's hand puts a finger over his mouth] 

  Rita : Yeah, thank you, too much information. I've got my own problems, mate.

• Roddy : Roddy St. James saves the day.
