Rex: [Grabs a hold of his stars and stripes parachute pants] Take a look at what I'm wearing, people. You think anybody wants a roundhouse kick to the face while I'm wearing these bad boys? Forget about it.

Pedro: Well, when I came home from school my head started to get really hot. So I drank some cold water, but it didn't do nothing. So I laid in the bathtub for a while, but then I realized that it was my hair that was making my head hot. So I went into my kitchen and I shaved it all off. I don't want anyone to see.

Pedro: Have you asked anybody yet?

Napoleon Dynamite: No, but who would? I don't even have any good skills.

Pedro: What do you mean?

Kip: No.

Napoleon Dynamite: Well, will you do me a favor then? Can you bring me my chapstick?

Kip: No, Napoleon.

Napoleon Dynamite: Uh! Idiot!

Napoleon Dynamite: Well, what is there to eat?

Grandma: Knock it off, Napoleon! Just make yourself a dang quesa-dilluh!

Deb: It's Deb. And I'm calling to let you know I think you're a shallow friend.

Napoleon Dynamite: What the heck are you even talking about?

Deb: Don't lie, Napoleon. Your Uncle Rico made it very clear how you feel about me. I don't need herbal enhancers to feel good about myself. And if you're so concerned about that, why don't you try eating some yourself?

[Deb hangs up on him]

Deb: [Stunned, Napoleon hangs up and goes out to confront Uncle Rico]

Napoleon Dynamite: Deb just called me. She pretty much hates me by now.

Pedro: Why?

Napoleon Dynamite: Because my uncle Rico's an IDIOT.

Pedro: Do you have anything to give to her?

Don: Then who you gonna vote for?

Napoleon Dynamite: I'm voting for Pedro Sanchez, who do you think?

[Don scoffs and walks away]

Napoleon Dynamite: Hey, Don. Can I have one of those buttons?

[Don hands Napoleon a Vote 4 Summer button]

Napoleon Dynamite: [Napoleon tosses it across the hall, stares at Don, and runs away]

Napoleon Dynamite: [speaking to Pedro and Deb] Are you guys having a killer time?

Deb: Yes.

[Kip is singing to Lafawnduh after they are pronounced husband and wife]

Kip: Why do you love me? Why do you need me? Always and forever... We met in a chatroom, now our love can fully bloom... Sure the world wide web is great, but you, you make my salivate... I love technology, but not as much as you, you see... But I STILL love technology... Always and forever. Our love is like a flock of doves, flying up to heaven above... always and forever, always and forever... Why do you need me? Why do you love me? Always and forever...

Napoleon Dynamite: What are you doing here, Uncle Rico?

Uncle Rico: What? Are you? You're already losing your steam?

Kip: No. I just... I have a chat room meeting at 4:00. I gotta be back here by then.

Uncle Rico: All right, you just start a little earlier. That's all.

Kip: All right.

Uncle Rico: Or else work afterwards. How long's the chat room?

Kip: Geez, sometimes up to three, four hours maybe... maybe not. I don't know.

Uncle Rico: You... You? You pay the bills for that? Does that cost money every time you're on, like, for minutes on the phone?

Kip: Yeah. Grandma's still payin' per minute. She gets kinda pissed at me sometimes 'cause I'm on there so long.

Uncle Rico: I'll bet she does. I'll tell you something, I'd be throwin' you out the window.

Rex: Bow to your sen-sei.

[Kip bows slightly]

Rex: [shouts] Bow to your sen-sei!

Kip: So when's grandma coming back?

Uncle Rico: I don't know. Not sure.

Napoleon Dynamite: You don't have to stay here with us, we're not babies.

Uncle Rico: [from inside Trisha's house, hard at work] Well, hey, Napoleon... Napoleon's m'nephew.

Ilene: Oh, that's nice.

Napoleon Dynamite: Could you just give this to her for me?

[hands Ilene a drawing of Trisha]

Ilene: I certainly could.

Napoleon Dynamite: What other girl?

Pedro: The one that left all that crap on your porch.

Napoleon Dynamite: You mean Deb?

Pedro: Yes her.

Napoleon Dynamite: What about her?

Pedro: Well, I asked her out too.

Lance: [Dejectedly] I can't do it.

Lance: [Even more ashamed, looking down at the table] Can't...

Uncle Rico: Now, if you guys decide to invest in the twenty four piece set, I'm going to throw in a little gift.

Napoleon Dynamite: Do you guys have any killer zoos around here?

Worker on Phone: Yes. Our Los Angeles zoo is world-famous.

Napoleon Dynamite: Do they have a liger?

Worker on Phone: What's a liger?

Napoleon Dynamite: Well, they're basically the best predators on the planet. They're like a combination of a male lion bred with a female tiger. They weigh like a butt-load but, they have amazing jumping and leaping abilities.

Worker on Phone: So, the mother's the lion and the father's a tiger?

Napoleon Dynamite: No you're thinking of the tigon. They're totally stupid and they reek like poo.

Worker on Phone: I have no idea whether they have a liger, or a tigon.

Napoleon Dynamite: Really? Ok, bye.

[hangs up the phone]
