Brian Cummings: Bumblelion

Quotes 

• Bumblelion : Aren't these roller-skis a scream?

  Eleroo : [tensely]  You took the words right outta my mouth.

• Eleroo : [Hoppo manages to catch her cake that slipped out of his hand when he vaulted into the air]  Phew! That was close.

  Bumblelion : Nah - a piece of cake.

• Eleroo : The brakes! Where are the brakes, Bumblelion?

  Bumblelion : [crashes into the Wuz Burger]  That's the brakes.

• Bumblelion : I've got the skinniest piggy-wallet in town.

• Bumblelion : [of Rhinokey]  He's funny and always has money.

• Bumblelion : What's shaking?

  Rhinokey : [Extends his hand as though to shake but gives him a fake hand]  Not me.

• Bumblelion : [the restaurant is out of not only dessert but food after Eleroo's order]  Then I'll take the check, before he eats that.

• Bumblelion : [gets sprayed with water when he rings Rhinokey's bell to pay back his loan]  The things I put up with for a few bucks.

  Eleroo : [seeing him knocking on a panel in the door and getting a horn blaring in his ear]  I guess money never comes easy.

• Bumblelion : [Sees the police car]  Looks like someone's in trouble.

  Narrator : And I bet it's Rhinokey. He's probably guilty of assault with a deadly punchline.

• Bumblelion : Do you have to know everything?

  Hopopotamus : Of course.

• Bumblelion : And think of all the high-class upscale friends I'll meet.

  Hopopotamus : And what am I - small change?

  Bumblelion : Nothing small about *you*, Hoppo.

• Bumblelion : When it comes to money some of us have it, and most of you, don't.

  Hopopotamus : I think I'll let *him* have it!

• Bumblelion : Well, now that my bank account's grown, so have my tastes.

  Eleroo : Yeah, and so has your head.

• Eleroo : The money *has* changed ya, Bumblelion.

  Bumblelion : Naturally. But only for the better, Eleroo. Better clothes, better car...

  Eleroo : *I'd* better go.

• Bumblelion : I thought bein' rich was supposed to be fun. It's boring without your friends.

• Bumblelion : They'll be back. All of them. I know it. I hope.

• Bumblelion : Hi, Rhinokey.

  Rhinokey : [disguised]  How'd you know it was me?

  Bumblelion : Who else'd be dressed like that?

• Bumblelion : I've become really selfish, haven't I?

  Moosel : Oh, I wouldn't say you were selfish, Bumblelion. I'd say... well... wonderful... terrific... sensitive... generous... Nope - selfish is the right word.

• Bumblelion : But I sure learned there's one thing money can't buy.

  Rhinokey : Yeah. A decent photo on a wanted poster.

• Bumblelion : But why'd you get me these, after I treated you so badly?

  Eleroo : Well, because we're your friends, whether you're rich or poor.

  Rhinokey : Yeah. Besides, they were on sale.
