Memorable quotes

Harvey: What's going on?
Potamus: Pride weekend?

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.

Potamus: I can't feel my leg! My third leg!
