  • Grover: [holding up the Medusa head] Guys, I can't pee with her watching me.

  • Grover: Look, don't worry. But you're not alone. There's hundreds in the world. Some lead normal lives, and some, I'm not allowed to divulge their names, are very famous. I'm talking about, like, White House famous. See, man, this is a place right here, this's the place where you'll learn to harness your powers. You'll train to become leaders, warriors and heroes.

    Percy Jackson: I think you have the wrong guy, all right? I'm not a hero. I'm a loser. I have dyslexia, ADHD.

    Grover: And those are your greatest gifts. When you try to read, the words float off the page, right? That's because your brain is hardwired for Ancient Greek, not English.

    Clarisse: She's right.

    Annabeth: What?

    Clarisse: There's no way you're getting me to repeat that.

    Grover: What Annabeth is saying, Perce, is that we're with you. Just give the word.

    Percy Jackson: Why me? I mean, who voted me leader.

    [Annabeth and Grover raise their hands. Both of them turn to stare at Clarisse, who slowly and reluctantly raises her hand]

  • Grover: This is a bad idea.

    Percy Jackson: You don't even know what I was gonna say.

    Grover: You were going to say you're going after the fleece.

    Annabeth: Actually, he was going to say we were.

  • Grover: Go Percy! I have 50 drachma on you!

    Annabeth: You bet on this?

    Grover: What, is that wrong?

  • Willie: [after being knocked in the mud by Elliott] Somethin' hit me!

    Grover: What somethin'?

    Willie: If I knowed what somethin', I wouldn't call it somethin'! I'd call it by its name!

  • Grover: Hey Ma, w-why don't we get ourselves another orphan, huh?

    Lena Gogan: Because I done paid our last $50 for Pete, plus $.50 legal fees, and we ain't got another $50 plus legal, that's why. Ya understand?

    [Willie and Grover look at each other then shake their heads]

    Lena Gogan: Well, here's somethin' you *will* understand: you're gonna have to start workin' the farm with your own two hands, less'n you spot that little twerp!

  • Nora: [singing] Watch out, or I'll take you apart!

So if anyone calls, you know where to reach me. Love, Big Bird." And here is the family that he left, the Dodos.

    Daddy Dodo: Oh, are we on television?

    Kermit the Frog: Um, yes, you are.
