• [last lines] 

  The Bull : Hey, Max?

  Max : Yeah?

  The Bull : When you go home, will you say good things about us?

  Max : Yeah, I will.

  The Bull : Thanks, Max.

  Judith : You're the first king we haven't eaten.

  Alexander : Yeah, that's true.

  Judith : See ya.

  Alexander : Bye, Max.

  Max : Bye.

  KW : Don't go. I'll eat you up; I love you so.

  [all howl] 

• Judith : Happiness isn't always the best way to be happy.

• Judith : Happiness is not always the best way to be happy.

• Max : Small is good. My powers are able to slip right through the cracks.

  Judith : But what if the cracks are closed up?

  Max : Then I have a re-cracker, which goes right through that.

  Judith : But what if they have some sort of material that re-crackers can't get through?

  Max : Then I have a double re-cracker, which can get through anything in this whole universe. And that's the end, and there's nothing more powerful after that, ever. Period.

  Alexander : He has a double re-cracker.

  Ira : He does sound powerful.

• Judith : Psst. Psst.

  [signals for Max to come over] 

  Judith : What were you doing with Carol just now?

  Max : Just talking.

  Judith : Oh, a secret, huh? Let me ask you something. How does it work around here? Are we all the same or are some of us better than others or - ? You like to play favourites, huh, king?

  [Ira accidentally hurts Judith] 

  Judith : Ow.

  Max : No, I like all you guys equally.

  Judith : Don't give me that. I can see how it is. The king has favourites. That's really cute.

  [Ira hurts Judith again] 

  Judith : Ow! Stop! Do you have a favourite colour? Hey, can I be your favourite colour?

  [laughs] 

  Judith : [Max imitates her laugh] 

  [Judith does it back] 

  Judith : [Max does it again, with more effort] 

  Judith : Ahahaha.

  Max : Har har har.

  Judith : [more evilly]  ahahahaha!

  Max : Har har har!

  Judith : Ahahahahaha!

  Max : HAR HAR HAR!

  Judith : You know what? You can't do that back to me. If we're upset, your job is not to get upset back at us. Our job is to be upset. If I get mad and wanna eat you, then you have to say: "Oh, okay. You can eat me. I love you. Whatever makes you happy, Judith." That's what you're supposed to do!

• Judith : You know what I say. If you got a problem, eat it.
