- Ivar the Boneless: It's a kitty!
- Chit Chatterson: No, it's a ferocious jungle cat! ROARR!
- Ivar the Boneless: It's a kitty! I can't invade England with a kitty on the front of my boat!
- Chit Chatterson: Are you kidding? This thing will strike terror in their souls! It will send people running!
- Ivar the Boneless: Only if they're allergic to kitties. I need something fierce!
- Chit Chatterson: He's fierce!

- Chit Chatterson: Now now, Boneless baby, look at those eyes! They say, "I'm angry!" They say, "I'm dangerous!" They say--
- Ivar the Boneless: They say, "Meow," he's a happy little kitten!
- Chit Chatterson: I happen to know he's not the least bit happy. He's actually rather sad.
- Ivar the Boneless: Oh, even better! "Run everyone! Here come the Sad Kitty Vikings! Look out or we'll depress you! Ooooh!"

- Ivar the Boneless: Well, that's the concept! Something that'll strike fear and make entire nations surrender and bow to us!
- Chit Chatterson: I have just what you're looking for - the dreaded dragon! [reveals a figurehead of a duckling]

- Chit Chatterson: Sure it is; a fire-breathing dragon! ROARR!
- Ivar the Boneless: No it's not, it's a duckie!
- Chit Chatterson: Excuse me! Hello? A duckie? Earth to Boneless! That's a fire-breathing dragon!
- Ivar the Boneless: With a beak and feathers?!

- Chit Chatterson: They have beaks and feathers!
- Ivar the Boneless: Not on my ship, they don't!
- Chit Chatterson: We have a new design that just came in! We call it, Leader of the Wolfpack! [reveals a figurehead of a puppy] Whaddaya think?
- Ivar the Boneless: I think you're deranged.
- Chit Chatterson: Whaat?!
- Ivar the Boneless: It's a puppy!
- Chit Chatterson: No, it's a wol-uf! Howling at the moon! AH-OOOOOH!
- Ivar the Boneless: It's a newborn puppy who's just done a naughty! Look, I don't think you're grasping the concept here. I want to soar over the waves with a ferocious figurehead on my ship!
- Chit Chatterson: Soar, yes! How about a hawk, vicious, sweeping down for the kill?
- Ivar the Boneless: Now you're talking!
- Chit Chatterson: There ya go! [reveals a figurehead of a butterfly]
- Ivar the Boneless: Hmm. Doesn't exactly resemble a hawk, does it?
- Chit Chatterson: Sure that's a hawk all right, streaking through the sky! HAWWK! HAWWK!
- Ivar the Boneless: Don't hawks have sharp talons, you know, CLAWS?
- Chit Chatterson: Not always.
- Ivar the Boneless: I think they do!
- Chit Chatterson: They trim their claws!
- Ivar the Boneless: What?!
- Chit Chatterson: For special occasions, they trim them!
- Ivar the Boneless: No they don't!
- Chit Chatterson: Sure, for formal occasions!
- Ivar the Boneless: Oh stop! It's not a hawk at all!
- Chit Chatterson: Yes it is!
- Ivar the Boneless: It's a butterfly!
- Chit Chatterson: No!
- Ivar the Boneless: Yes, a pretty butterfly, fluttering across the water!
- Chit Chatterson: Hmm, hmm... I don't see it.
- Ivar the Boneless: There's nothing scary here at all, is there?
- Chit Chatterson: Well...
- Ivar the Boneless: It's like all your ship's figureheads are being designed by a three-year-old!
- Chit Chatterson: Oh, that's just not true!
- Ivar the Boneless: No?
- Chit Chatterson: No! Actually, I don't think he's over twelve months. [camera pans to reveal Big Fat Baby designing figureheads]

Its fleece was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went
There was a scary man named Hitler!

- Toast: Spare me the details, brainy-dude. Can I get paid for the pizza now?
- René Descartes: No no no, wait wait, I'm on a role! "I think, therefore I am!" Don't you see? It is so simple! If I think, then I exist. If I don't think, then I don't exist! Now I can solve any mystery known to man! Go ahead, ask me something! Something!

- Father Time: [about Alexander the Great naming cities after himself] But for travelers, it could get confusing.

Then you row-row-row your boat, uno-dos-tres, and when you find yourself around a bunch of naked armless statues, you're there!
- Toast: Uh... well, that really sounds out of the way. Do you think Alexandria would be closer?
- World's Oldest Woman: Oh, you mean that Alexandria! Dreamboat, you're here!
