- Face: Ruff the Bear?
- Hannibal: This is gonna be it, Face, this is gonna be the part that takes off.
- Face: But Hannibal, a bear? And on TV. TV is not for you, you're a powerhouse! You need 28 feet of canvas to explode out of. You'll get lost on the little screen.
- Hannibal: Yeah, now, I've been thinking about that, Face. But you know, television is an intmiate medium, and... I'm an intimate kind of a guy.
- Face: Like Rambo is an intimate kind of guy.
- Sydney: [holding a broken Uncle Buckle-Up toy] Last week, some kid swallowed one of my eyes. Me, Uncle Buckle-Up, an international symbol child of safety, and kids are swallowing my eyes like they are jellybeans!
- Hannibal: Well, this is it guys, an actor can tell when his career is coming to an end. You can only play the Aquamaniac a certain number of times before you've explored every aspect of his character. That was my chance at television immortality.
- Face: But Hannibal, it was just a bear. They weren't looking for the definitive Hamlet, they just wanted a guy who wouldn't sweat too much in a fur coat.
- Sydney: It's not that I don't appreciate what you've done, but in this business, it's not courage that counts. It's nepotism that's important.
