Patricia Stich: Pepper

Quotes 

• D.D. : [about Sandor the strongman]  Wow. Dig those muscles. Hey, wait a minute. Aerialists are pretty strong, right?

  Pepper : Right.

  D.D. : And it would take somebody a lot stronger to handle a guy like Karelli, a guy like Sandor.

  Pepper : [notices Sandor standing right behind D.D]  Uh, Sandor who?

  D.D. : Quit fooling around, Pepper. I think I got something.

  Pepper : Not yet, but I think you're gonna get it.

  Sandor : You talk about Sandor?

  D.D. : [gulps]  Oh, uh, hi, there.

  Sandor : You say bad things about Sandor, skinny kid. You know what Sandor do to you?

  [bends a bar] 

  D.D. : Don't tell me.

  [watches as Sandor ties the bar in a knot] 

  D.D. : But I don't bend that way.

  Sandor : When Sandor finished, that's how you'll bend.

  D.D. : In that case, that's how I want to bend.

  Pepper : Yes, sir, he'll love it. Bye, now.

  [Pepper and D.D. runs away] 

• Sheriff Bagley : I sure hope you got this figured right, Larry.

  D.D. : You can bet on it, Sheriff.

  Pepper : Right.

  Dotty : [suddenly enters]  Don't worry, Sheriff. If Larry says he's got it, he's got it.

  Larry : All right, Dotty. You were warned about coming around here when we're on a case.

  Dotty : Oh, I didn't come to see you. It's the elephants.

  D.D. : I can't wait to here this one.

  Larry : What about the elephants?

  Dotty : Well, you remember those two bags of peanuts we bought for them?

  Larry : You forgot to feed them, right?

  Dotty : Boy, you're smart, Larry.

  Larry : Uh-huh, and you only came back to give them their peanuts.

  Dotty : Sure. Elephants never forget and I don't want them to be mad when the circus comes next year.

  D.D. : I'll swap you two brothers and a parakeet for her.

  Pepper : It's a deal.

  Larry : Shorty, what am I going to do with you?

  Dotty : How about letting me stay 'til this is over?

  Larry : [chuckles]  All right, just keep out of the way.

• Dotty : Well, Tonio wasn't too happy about Karelli being the star of the show. He wanted some of the glory himself.

  D.D. : Yeah, Pepper feels the same way about me.

  Pepper : Why don't you take to disappear like Karelli?

• [Wimper finds a small, round red object and it gets stuck to his nose] 

  Woofer : There you go again. Fooling around when we're supposed to be working.

  Wimper : Well, maybe it's a clue.

  Woofer : Clue. Ain't you learn nothing from me? Does that look like a clue to you?

  Pepper : What do you got there, Wimper?

  [Pepper takes the red object] 

  D.D. : Hey, you guys, what's going on?

  Pepper : Wimper found something. Looks like red puddy. Might be a clue.

  [Attempting to take the credit, Woofer steps forward and pushes Wimper back] 

  Larry : Send it back to Dotty and have her do a rundown on Tonio and Peter.

  Woofer : You're learning fast, Wimp. Heh! Heh! I was afraid you weren't gonna see that clue.

  Wimper : Huh?

  Woofer : I had it spotted all the time, but I wanted to see if you'd pick up on it.

  Wimper : Oh, boy.

• Larry : All right, what have we got? A high wire star who disappears in midair.

  Pepper : A partner who couldn't care less if he doesn't come back.

  D.D. : A strongman who could pick him up and walk away with him.

  Larry : An owner who threatened him if he quit.

  Pepper : And an animal trainer who'd like to get rid of him so he'd be the star attraction.
