DialogueEdit
- [first lines of the film]
- Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen. Your attention please. Welcome to the newest, the greatest, the most spectacular in entertainment history. Put your hands together for the fabulous Feebles variety hour.
- Robert: I'm Robert.
- Trevor: You may be Robert to your friends but you're fly shit to me! Piss off!
- Robert: I thought you were nice.
- Lucille: I am nice.
- Robert: No your not, you're loose! And you drink!

- Trevor: Didn't you notice you were sitting on his face!
- Madame Udder: Well, it was a bit uncomfortable but I thought it was my hemorrhoids.
- Bletch: Have you thought of a name for it, yet?
- Trevor: I was thinking along the lines of... "Dennis does Daisy".
- Bletch: No. That's lousy.
- Trevor: How about... "Anal Antics"?
- Bletch: "Anal Antics"... yes. It will appeal to the intellectuals. Do you think it will do as well as our last release and win the Hooker Prize?

- [Bletch and his henchman laugh]
- Cedric: This is a lovely golf course, I'm tempted to join the club meself.
- Bletch: No chance of that I'm afraid, Cedric.
- Cedric: You mean they discriminate against Scots?
- Bletch: No, they just don't want assholes in the clubhouse.
- Trevor: All right, you fat slag! Move your ass!
- Heidi: How dare you speak to me like that! You horrible, spiteful little rat!
- Trevor: I've heard better singing from a mongoose with throat cancer!
- Heidi: That's it, I've had enough! I am going straight to Bletch!
