  Squid : Oh don't listen to him. I read his file. It said he suffers from, um, oh. acute paranoia.

  Zero : Good, 'cause I could use a hot fudge sundae.

• Zero : You know, those stars look like a shovel to me.

  Stanley : Exactly... Hector, I feel lucky.

  Zero : [laughing]  The onions have gone to your head.

  [he and Zero hold out their thumbs, and look at each other] 

• Stanley : It's destiny.

• [first lines] 

  Stanley : [after being hit by a falling pair of shoes]  All my life, I seemed to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. My grandpa, Stanley Yelnats Il, says it's all because of this 150-year-old curse. Now, I don't really believe in the family curse, but when things go wrong, it kind of helps if you can blame it on something. And for me, things went wrong a lot. Grandpa says our destiny is sealed. Could a pair of shoes falling from the sky really be part of my destiny?

• Mr. Sir : All life begins with water. So think of it this way, I'm givin' you life. Say thank you.

  Stanley : Thank you, Mr. Sir.

• [Stanley arriving in the desert] 

  Stanley : So. Where's the lake?

  Guard : Hey. What did I just tell you? Don't be a wise guy!
