Quotes[]
- Higgins: Since 1885, when Gilbert and Sullivan's immortal Mikado was first presented, the Three Little Maids have performed this song exactly as how I have taught it to you. In your hands ladies is a tradition stretching back to the glorious days of the empire. You too will uphold it, yes, even cherish it!
- Magnum: Once, when I was a kid, three older guys decided to beat me up for no apparent reason. I teld my own until a fourth showed up. And from that day on, I vowed that three was my limit, particularly when I didn't know what I was fighting about. (Narration)
- Rick: I am the Pirate King! It is, it is, a glorious thing to be the Pirate King! It is, it is, is!
