- Narrator: There's an old superstition in theater that if the dress rehersal is bad, the opening night will be a success... Heh. Sounds like we got a smash hit on our hands.
- Butterbear: Where are you going?
- Hoppopotamus: Off to where a big star like me really belongs. To a place where a top banana gets top billing, where the cream rises to the top.
- Rhinokey: I knew it - she's off to the malt shop again.
- [laughs]
- Moosel: Well, uh, uh, life is tough out there.
- Hoppopotamus: Yes, I know - all those hot lights, endless movie premires, signing autographs for fans all day long... long nights at parties, mingling with stars, lounging by the pool at my estate. Yes - it's hard work. But someone has to do it.
- Narrator: [Hoppo barges onto a set and dives off a board, snapping it and falling] Somehow, I don't think that's the break Hoppo was hoping for.
- Narrator: [Hoppo falls back on the Murphy bed upon reading the postcard that the others are coming to see her since they believe in her success stories] Uh-oh. Looks like Hoppo's really up against the wall this time.
- Eleroo: But what about all those big parts you landed?
- Hopopotamus: The only thing I've landed is on this sidewalk.
- Hopopotamus: Either it's a reaction to the tacoburger I had for breakfast, or we're in Steven Sealburg's new space movie.
- Mr. Mynaboar: [seeing the "statue" of Hoppo] What happened to Squirrely McLamb?
