Quotes

The Monkees

  • Davy: What's in the morning paper, Peter?
  • Peter: Oh, "Li'l Abner," "Peanuts"... Oh, say, this is funny!
  • [laughs]
  • Peter: This big guy hits the little guy with a club, and the little guy hits the big guy in the jaw!
  • [laughs some more]
  • Davy: What comic strip is that?
  • Peter: What comic strip? This is the editorial page.
  • Peter: Cross at the green, not in between!
  • Davy: He's been out in the sun too long.
  • Micky: He was no bargain in the shade.
  • Peter: Oh no, footprints! Someone else is on this island!
  • Micky: Oh, don't worry, those are ours, we don't have a larger set so we had to use the same one twice.
  • Mike: Welcome to Swineville, Peter, a happy, sleepy little hillbilly town where seemingly innocent, nice, naive people turn just like that
  • [snaps fingers]
  • Mike: to a vengeful, hateful mob!
  • Peter: How do you know that?
  • Mike: Because these are my people.
  • [entering a spooky mansion]
  • Mike: Well, uh, it's a little gloomy, but we could probably work wonders with just a few geraniums.
  • Micky: Uh-uh, YOU decorate. I'M leaving!
  • Peter: Hey, look, guys! All the comforts of home!
  • Mike: Yeah, YOUR home, shotgun, not MINE.
  • Mike: Ooh! So, uh... That's, uh... That's what
  • [bleeped]
  • Mike: is all about.
  • Davy: Yeah.
  • [bleeped]
  • Davy: It's pretty scary.
  • Micky: You know what's even more scary?
  • Peter: What?
  • Micky: You can't say
  • [bleeped]
  • Micky: on television.
  • Micky: I can't stand to see a grown bush cry.
  • [repeated line]
  • Micky: We're a minute short as usual.
  • Peter: [as the rigged blimp carrying the muscle man floats away] Well, there he goes.
  • Davy: Yeah, where's that, uh, der-uh... der-uh... blimp headed for?
  • Peter: [almost comically] Bayonne, New Jersey.
  • Davy: Bayon-Bayonne, New Jer-? You know, I used to have a girlfriend in Bayonne, New Jersey.
  • Peter: Anything like the Secaucus girls?
  • Davy: [nonchalantly] No, I don't know, her name was Mary Ann.
