  • [covered in feathers after crashing during a stunt] I'd like to see the Great Leslie try THAT one!"
  • Push the button, Max! [on numerous occasions.]
  • Thieves, brigands and cut-throats of all nations may hound us... but we are ready for them... we shall blast them into Kingdom Come.
  • [to Leslie, after Leslie allows him to win the race] I hate you! You, I hate! You, whose clothes are always white, and whose hair is always combed, and whose car is always clean!
