Mr. Socrates : Butch, an emergency has just come up. I need you and the Sundance Kids immediately.
[Elvis barks]
Mr. Socrates : And I purposely did not mention Elvis.
-
Mr. Socrates : First of all, let me thank you for not bringing your dog.
Butch Cassidy : Don't thank us, Mr. Socrates. He didn't want to come.
Wally : I taught him the words "heel" and "stay", and you taught him the word "rejection."
[Mr. Socrates angrily beeps and everyone stares at Wally]
Wally : Sorry about that, Mr. Socrates.
-
Mr. Socrates : Rudy knows half of a top secret formula.
[Rudy squawks and whistles]
Butch Cassidy : Who knows the other half?
Mr. Socrates : Rudy's twin, Randy.
Wally : Short for Randolph!
-
Wally : Hey, Mr. Socrates, I just noticed that door. It wasn't there the last time we were here.
Mr. Socrates : It was just completed. A private elevator leading directly into my office. No one knows about it.
[Wally opens the door and Elvis appears, barking and licking Wally]
Butch Cassidy : Wally, get him out of here!
Mr. Socrates : Get... that... dog... out... of here! I thought he understood the word "rejection"! Ah... Ah... Ah-choo!
-
[after explaining to Mr. Socrates how enemy agents took Rudy from Wally]
Butch Cassidy : Right, Mr. Socrates, we'll do just that. And thanks, Mr. Socrates, for being so understanding about Wally. I mean, it could happen to any of us.
[Elvis laughs]
Mr. Socrates : I was not understanding. And if it could have happened to anyone else, why didn't it? Why does it always have to be Wally?
