- Screwie: Oh, brother! You could pour this stuff on pancakes!
- Yankee Irving: [to the two saint bernards see him and runs past, barks loudly at Yankee] Huh? Oh, there you are! Take it ea... [to Beethoven and Cujo jumps Yankee, grunts and knocks him down. Yankee hugs Beethoven, paints and starts lick his face. Yankee laughs] Hey, you two. Stop it [Beethoven and Cujo licks Yankee's face, laughs. Beethoven and Cujo back off Yankee and barks, runs off. Yankee wipes his face] Good dogs.

About Everyone's Hero
edit- It's a lovely script. I like the simplicity of it and the beauty of it. Some of the Pixar films, you know, they've got those double entendres in it for adults, and some of the jokes truthfully I think when you're with your 6 year old you have to say, "Daddy, why is it funny when the cookie says eat me?" And you have to say, "Uhhh, because if you ate him he wouldn't be there, would he?" This doesn't have any of that in it. It's so pure and clean. It's about keep swinging, don't give up."”
