• Igor : Only one thing left to do...

  Brain : Ha-ha, he said "do."

  Igor : [shouts]  Pull the switch!

  [Igor's "switch!" echoes several times. Nothing happens. He looks over at Scamper, standing by the switch] 

  Scamper : Do *not* yell at me.

  Igor : Oh, I-I'm sorry. I just... pull the switch?

  [No response] 

  Igor : Please pull the switch.

  Scamper : That's better.

• Igor : [voice over]  That's Scamper, one of my most successful inventions.

  [Scamper drops a giant weight on himself, flattening himself] 

  Igor : [voice over]  I made him immortal, which is kind of a hassle for him, since he doesn't want to live.

  Scamper : [fills out again]  Will *nothing* end this vicious cycle?

  Igor : [voice over]  I also made him talk, which is a hassle for me, since he never shuts up.

• Brain : Wait, wait, wait, wait! Why does *he* get to pull the switch?

  Scamper : Because I'm not an idiot, *Brian*.

  Brain : My name is not Brian!

  Scamper : Then you must have his jar.

  Igor : Stop! You can both pull the switch. On the count of three. One...

  [Scamper pulls the switch] 

  Brain : Hey, no fair!

• Brain : Our work here is done.

  Scamper : "Our work"? You spent the whole time playing with a piece of ribbon.

• Scamper : [after escaping a trap and about to set Igor and Brain free also]  What? Like this is the first time I've gnawed my own feet off?

• Scamper : [Talking to a blind orphan]  Hans, you're wearing this backwards! What are you, blin-? Uh...

• Eva : [Watching Igor chase Brain with an ax]  Which play are they rehearsing?

  Scamper : It's called "Brain Dead."

  [Igor continues chasing Brain] 

  Scamper : It should be a smash.

• [Scamper drinks a whole bottle of poison, twitches, and falls over, then...] 

  Scamper : Dang it. Still here.

• Dr. Glickenstein : Now to take the old cow for a test drive!

  Igor : No, Master! The rocket is going to...!

  [the rocket explodes, scattering pieces of Glickenstein everywhere] 

  Igor : Uh, yeah, that.

  Scamper : Finally! Now I can throw out that rug in the foyer, that thing is hideous.

  [off their looks] 

  Scamper : We were all thinking it, I just said it.

• Eva : [while rehearsing the Annie production] 

  [singing] 

  Eva : The sun'll come out tomorrow. Bet your...

  Igor : No, you missed it, again.

  Eva : Excuse me, Igor, but I think you're supposed to say "cut."

  Igor : That's for film.

  Scamper : Film? Can you imagine a face like that on a 40-foot screen?
