Memorable quotes

Potamus: That thing... That thing! Ladies and gentlemen, what you are here to answer... the question that, frankly, is never far... from my own mind is... Did...you...get...that...thing... Did you get that thing... that... I sent you?

Judge Mentok: Ask him the question.
Potamus: Eh, did you...
Judge Mentok: Go on...
Potamus: Did you get that thing I sent you?
Shado: The thing you sent? I'm sure I did! One moment.
