Snowbell: I wish I were the one that was dead!
Margalo: Really?
Snowbell: No. But I'm feeling very unhappy!

Snowbell: What's wrong with giving up?... and just think of the time you save!
-
[Monty is looking in a trash can]
Monty: Oh, can't I get any food in this city?
[Falcon falls out of the sky and lands in the trash can. Monty looks up at the sky]
Monty: Thank you.
-
Falcon: Don't ever make a friend I can eat.
-
Snowbell: Margalo? Where are you?
Margalo: [from inside a paint can where Falcon has her imprisoned] In the can!
Snowbell: Oh, OK. I'll wait.
-
Fredrick Little: Now, now. If there's a problem I simply pull on this string...

Falcon: I'll be back for you, furball.
Snowbell: Don't hurry.
-
Falcon: You should have stayed in your little hole, mouse-boy.
-
Falcon: The party's over, furface.
[Falcon goes into an attack dive]
-
[the falcon dives up to behind Margalo, and stomps his feet loud enough while landing at her to startle her]
Falcon: Remember me?
Margalo: You scared me.
Falcon: What can I say? I'm a scary guy.
-
Snowbell: [looking down on New York City, while climbing very high; and thinking about the mean falcon at the same time] I hope I live to regret this.
-
Stuart Little: Little high, little low!
Mrs. Little: [from a distance] Little hey, little hoe.

Snowbell: What do I look like, a fanny pack?
-
Snowbell: I'm telling ya', Stuart, if more people gave up, there'd be fewer wars.
-
Snowbell: [after Stuart wakes him up] This better be important.
Stuart Little: Margalo's still missing.
Snowbell: I should have been more specific. I meant important to me.
-
Stuart Little: There is no silver lining!
-
[the Littles have just discovered Stuart's red roadster stripped]
Mrs. Little: Who would do such a thing?
Fredrick Little: Tiny little vandals!
-
Margalo: You're as big as you feel.
-
Snowbell: [Stuart's car has broken down] This is a sign, like the burning bush, except this a carburetor and I'm not Moses

-
Stuart Little: [as a newspaper falls on him] Oof, hey look! The Yankees won!

Snowbell: Cats don't eat raisins! We have too much class. We eat fish byproducts. Also, I... need to go tinky.
Stuart Little: How about the alley?
Snowbell: An alley? I'm a cat! We're fastidious creatures. We use a litter box. We don't just yell 'Bombs away' and go wherever we are!

[George is still sleeping]
Stuart Little: George!
George Little: [talking into his pillow] It's Saturday.
Stuart Little: I know. But it's the first day of Soccer. It's our first game.
George Little: [wakes up and puts his glasses on] Soccer? Uh... I can't today. I caught a cold while sleeping.
[George sneezes]
Stuart Little: You'll be fine. Come on, come on. It's gonna be great.

[at breakfast]
Mrs. Little: [hands Stuart his plate] Here you go.
Stuart Little: Thanks, Mom.

Fredrick Little: ...don't forget your cleats.
Fredrick Little: [to Mrs. Little] My, you're looking lovely this morning.

Mrs. Little: [feeding Martha] OK, open up.

[George rolls his eyes at Stuart, as Stuart gives smile to George]
Mrs. Little: Where's the baby book? I'm writing it down.
Fredrick Little: [as he's packing food] I'm not sure that's technically, you know, a word.
Mrs. Little: Well, of course it is. But you know, Uncle Crenshaw says that every Little starts talking by 9 months.
Fredrick Little: Or in Uncle Crenshaw's case, never stops.
Stuart Little: Are you both coming to the game?
Fredrick Little: Wouldn't miss it!

[makes a smashing gesture]
Fredrick Little: Oh, Honey. He's a Little. All Littles are natural athletes.

[Mr. Little is struggling to get a jar of pickles open]
Mrs. Little: Do you need...
Fredrick Little: Could you?
[Mrs. Little pops the top off the pickle jar]
Fredrick Little: [Martha throws her dish on the floor]
Mrs. Little: [grabbing Martha from her high chair] OK, that's it for you.
Mrs. Little: [to Snowbell] Snow, food.
Snowbell: [running down the stairs] "Food"? Is it tuna or herring? Or dare I say it, is it lox? Oh, please be lox!
Mrs. Little: [to Snowbell; Picks up the bowl leaving the food] Snow, that's for you.
Fredrick Little: How about it, boys? Are you ready to play some soccer?
Stuart Little: You bet, Dad!
Snowbell: [disgusted] Oh, it's glop. Look what I'm reduced to. I'm a handy wipe with hair.

[Stuart has started the plane by accident; George and Will are playing a video game upstairs]
Will: Hey, what's that noise?
George Little: Sounds like a lawn mower.
Will: Inside the house?
Will, George Little: [alarmed] Stuart!
[the boys rush downstairs to find the plane has started with Stuart in the cockpit]
George Little: Stuart, what are you doing?
Stuart Little: I'm not doing anything!
George Little: Pull the break!
[Stuart pulls the break, and flies to another part of the house]
Stuart Little: [to George] Get the book!
Will: This is cool. All my brother does is jam crayons up his nose.
George Little: [reading the instruction booklet] It says here, "On takeoff, pull back on the throttle".
Stuart Little: "Take off"? I'm already in the air!
[Stuart flies over George and Will's heads]
Stuart Little: Snowbell, get out of the way!
Snowbell: [running] Please don't hurt me!
[Mr. Little is upstairs]
Fredrick Little: [to George and Will] What's going on?
Will: Oh, nothing. Stuart is just flying in the house.
[Mr. Little sighs, but then becomes alarmed]
Fredrick Little: [shouting] Flying in the house?
George Little: At least he's indoors, nothing bad can happen.
Stuart Little: Watch out! Hit the dirt!

Mrs. Little: [as Stuart crashes into the flowers] Stuart!

Snowbell: Now, pay attention. What do you know about a bird called 'Falcon'?
Monty: Falcon? Ooh, that's a bad guy. You don't wanna fool with him.
Stuart Little: You know where we can find him?
Monty: You don't wanna find him. You don't want anything to do with him. Trust me. He'd eat you so fast, you'd be a pile of falcon poop before you could yell for help. Falcons are vicious. They grab you by the back of the neck and carry you so high you can't even see the ground, and then they drop you. And by the time you hit the pavement, they just drink what's left through a straw.
Stuart Little: Snowbell, are you all right?
Snowbell: Oh sure. In fact, I no longer need a litterbox.
Monty: [laughs] Mop up on aisle three! Snowy!

[repeated line]
Cab Driver: Okey-dokey, no problem!
