Charles Shaughnessy: Dennis

Quotes 

• Stanley Griff : Everyone has something special to show off today. Except for me.

  Dennis : No!

  Stanley Griff : Yes. Cartwheels, giggle hiccups, even comics.

  Dennis : [yawns]  Why don't you come curl up with us? We don't have anything special to show off.

  Elsie : Well, maybe some of us don't. Anyway, we promise not to show off if you don't want us to.

• Lester Goldberg : You draw really good, Stanley.

  Marci : And you know so much about animals.

  Dennis : You should be very proud of yourself, Stanley.

  Stanley Griff : I am. I'm proud... as a peacock.

• [last lines - "Proud as a Peacock"] 

  Harry : Could we have some quiet here? I need my beauty sleep.

  Stanley Griff : [giggles]  Good night, Dennis.

  Dennis : Good night, peacock boy Stanley.

• Dennis : Don't worry, Mimi. I'll bet you'll be standing on one leg in no time, just like a beautiful flamingo.

  Marci : I thought flamingos only had one leg!

  Lester Goldberg : It looks that way because they always stand on one leg and keep the other one curled up... I think.

• Harry , Elsie : [singing]  No need to fall / Just stand up tall / We'll meet flamingos, one and all.

  Dennis : Well, I suppose it beats "Row, Row, Row Your Boat."

  Harry : Did someone say "Row, Row, Row Your Boat"?

  Elsie : Well, I guess we could sing that too. Ready, Harry?

  Harry , Elsie : [singing]  Row, row, row your boat / Gently down the stream...

  Dennis : [as the two continue]  No, please! Forget I said anything!

• [last lines - "Dances with Flamingos"] 

  Dennis : Today, we learned that flamingos strain their food out of water. Then they turn pink from their diet.

  Stanley Griff : And we learned that if you hold your arms out like a flamingo sticks out its wings, it helps you balance so you can stand on one leg.

  Dennis : Yes. Now if I only had any legs to stand on, I'd be all set.

  Stanley Griff : Ha ha ha. Good night, Dennis.

  Dennis : Good night, flamingo boy Stanley.
