Memorable quotes
Winchley: I run a shipshape ship here, so shape up or ship out!

Squiddly: Every day, it's the same thing. 'Where are the dolphins? I wanna see the dolphins!' I don't think those dolphins are such a bunch.

Squiddly: Hi, surfer boy. Mind if I hitch a ride Surfer: AHHHHHHH! IT'S A MONSTER FROM THE DEEP!!! Squiddly: Now what did I say wrong?
