Short Fuse Quotes in Penguins of Madagascar (2014)

Skipper: Debbie!

Kowalski: Dave.

Skipper: Dave!

Corporal: He hacked into our system.

[There's no sound onscreen as Dave speaks]

Eva: Where's the sound?

Kowalski: Dave, your microphone, it's not on.

Classified: Click on the button with the picture of the microphone.

Short Fuse: Every time a villain calls in, this happens.

Dave: Hello?

[the screen goes off]

Dave: Hello?

Kowalski: But, now we can hear you.

Short Fuse: So annoying!

Kowalski: But we cannot see.

Short Fuse: Every time!

Classified: It's like talking to my parents.

Classified: Short Fuse, you were supposed to handcuff them to the raft!

Short Fuse: I tried, but they don't have hands, they just have flippers, Boss! And I have flippers. So it's flipping useless!

Classified: What is that?

[they see numerous painful weapons as they are going to be killed on the ride]

Classified: Oh, great.

Short Fuse: Oh, no! This it it!

Corporal: I don't wanna die, I'm squishy!

[before they are killed by one of the weapons, the ride stops and goes reverse to see Private knocked out the squid controlling the ride]

Classified: OH NO, WE'RE DEAD! DEAD! DEAAAAAAAAAAD!

Private: [to the North Wind team] I pushed a button!

Dave: [fixes the video connection] How about now?

Private: Hurray!

Classified: Yes! Way to go, looks fantastic!

Dave: Excellent! Now, where was I?

[laughs maniacally]

Kowalski: Dave!

Short Fuse: Grrrr!

Dave: Greetings, North Wind. I see you've met my old zoo-mates.

Skipper: We were never "mates." There was no mating.

Classified: Turn yourself in, David. You are powerless now that I have stolen your precious Medusa Serum.

Skipper: What? You didn't steal that!

Classified: It's over.

Dave: It's over?

[mock-confusion]

Dave: Then... why did I call you? Wierd. OH! Maybe it was to show you *this*!

[turns camera to reveal a large vat of Medusa Serum]

Kowalski: [collective gasp from everyone] That is a lot of serum for four penguins.

Dave: Oh, you thought this was just about you four? No, no-no-no-no. We're just getting started.

[takes a selfie]

Dave: Now, if you will excuse me, I have to go do some shopping... FOR REVENGE!

[hits button, buzzer sounds. hits button again, same result]

Dave: Wait. How do you...?

Squid: [gurgles instructions]

Dave: What do I push?

Squid: [points and gurgles]

Dave: Is it the red, or...

Squid 2: [points, gurgles, and slaps own head in frustration]

Dave: I thought it was... it's not this -

[screen goes black]
