Memorable quotes
Squiddly: Hey, what's this? A free travel offer. "See the world, all expenses paid by your government." I don't see no fine print, so it must be legitimate!

Squiddly: Gosh I hope we go to Alaska! I've never seen a kangaroo, you know!

Sailor: I think you made a mistake, sir. You just inducted a squid into the Navy!
