- Dinky Little: All that writing, all that waiting, all that winning, and I can't even have my new airplane! It's not fair.
- Tom Little: [speaking very fast] Dinky's gone and we tried to tell him about Henry but we couldn't stop him in time.
- Lucy Little: [equally fast] So you've got to help us find him before he does anything silly and gets us all in trouble!
- Grandpa Little: Just hold your horseflies, you two, and say that a little slower.
- Tom Little, Lucy Little: Dinky took off in his plane, on...
- Grandpa Little: Whoa, now you first and slow down. My ears aren't as fast as your mouth.
- Dinky Little: [speaking to his plane] Pay no attention to that old blimp.
- Grandpa Little: Blimp am I? I'll show you who's a blimp, you propeller-brain.
- Dinky Little: Yippie! I won, I won!
- Grandpa Little: Won what?
- Dinky Little: My very own Cyclone!
- Helen Little: You won a storm?
- Dinky Little: It's not a storm, it's a gas-powered model airplane. I entered Midget Models contest, and won it!
