Ferdinand quotes

  • Lupe: Don't just think of it as a fight. Think of it as a dance!

    Hans: A bull, dancing? Is this some kind of hilarious joke designed to make me laugh?

    Greta: You see, horses, we have the beautifulest legs for the dancing.

    Klaus: But bulls have short stubby legs.

    Hans: Ja, look at me.

    [waddles around on his knees and haunches]

    Hans: Moo, moo, moo!

    [the lipizzaner horses all laugh]

    Lupe: Go eat a schnitzel, you pasty-faced glue stick!

    Ferdinand: It's okay, Lupe. THey're right. I mean, how could a big clumsy bull ever do something like this!

    [does the flamenco dance Nina taught him]

    Lupe: Whoo! Check out my boy cutting a rug!

    Dos: That was good!

    Greta: You call that dancing? Nein! THIS is dancing!

    [They perform a polka]

    Angus: Three against one is hardly fair. Lupe, get my pipes!

    [Lupe plays various kazoos like bagpipes and he does a scottish reel]

    Angus: Well, put that in your kilts and smoke it!

    Greta: Don't celebrate yet, you rump roast! Try THIS!

    [the horses do a mix of ballet and gymnastics, ending by forming a heart with their heads and rumps]

    Bones: Oooh, I HATE those horses!

    Una: [Seeing where this is going, plugs in a boombox and puts on some hip-hop] It's showtime.

    Bones: I'm goin' in!

    [He joins in with a breakdance, and the three horses and three cows start an epic dance battle, which the horses are winning, until...]

    Maquina: Argh!

    [Joins in on the cow's side with robotic dance moves and the four do a grand synchronized finale, which the horses try to top but collide]

    Hans: Watch where you're stepping, dummkopf!

    Greta: Who are you calling dummkopf!

    Klaus: You have four left hooves!

  • [repeated line]

    Dos: We're not

    [insert animal]

    Dos: we're hedgehogs!
