Shelly Krippendorf: You are pathetic.
James Krippendorf: What?
Shelly Krippendorf: You said we weren't doing any more of these.
James Krippendorf: Oh, give me a break, I'm dying with dignity out here.
Shelly Krippendorf: Why don't you try living with some?
Shelly Krippendorf: Let's see... we've had the backyard circumcision, we've danced with the pigs to assure my fertility - that one really changed my life. What's the next step? Cannibalism? Hey, Mrs. O'Brien, you doing anything tonight? We're having a barbecue, wear some hot sauce!
Shelly Krippendorf: I just chased poultry through my backyard, looking like Tammy Faye Bakker. You owe me!
James Krippendorf: Excuse me, ah, what exactly is the older brother doing?
Mickey Krippendorf: He is completing the ritual dance in which he asks the gods to protect the young boy from the many brides who will want him and his pig wealth.
Irene Harding: Children! Your biological father is here.
Veronica Micelli: Professor! Come here.
James Krippendorf: Oh.... Tinkerbelle.
President Porter: What are they called?
James Krippendorf: What are they are called? They are called...

Veronica Micelli: Oh, Pumpkin, do you remember me from yesterday? I'm Veronica Micelli and I've brought this nice reporter.
Mickey Krippendorf: Hey! The Shelmickedmu do not allow their pictures taken without the ritual paint.
James Krippendorf: Nicely put...
Veronica Micelli: The Shelmickedmu deal with the same problems we deal with every day: loneliness... despair... extreme sexual tension!
Mrs. Tournquist: Abbey, come out of there!
Abbey Tournquist: Not until I'm purified!
TV Store Customer #1: That's what I like... jungle woman.
TV Store Customer #2: Shake it, baby.
TV Store Customer #2: What'd you do that for? I wasn't talking about you.
Veronica Micelli: He says it's a very large and frightening country, filled with many things he thought existed only in myth.
Larry Swift: And he said all of that in three syllables?
Veronica Micelli: It's a very concise language, Larry.
Irene Harding: Get away from me, you voodoo twit!
Veronica Micelli: It's so cool to be a globe-trotting fourteen-year-old.
