Arthur Belt: I highly doubt it.
North’s Dad: If you wanna know how to build a rocket to fly a man into outer space, don’t come to me. If you need somebody to perform a delicate brain operation, I’m not your man. However if you have any questions what so ever on the quality of a good pair of pants, look no further!

North: Oh, sorry.
Gabby: No harm done.
North: Where the hell are my parents?
Winchell: North, did you say the word ‘hell’? My, the summer’s really broadened you.
North: Winchell, I’ve got exactly 10 minutes to find my parents and if you don’t tell me where they are, I’ll show you how the summer’s broadened me you little asshole!

Ma Tex: That’s why Buck hated February.

North: Sure, I’m a big fan of any food that straddles two borders.
Pa Tex: That’s my boy.
Seen your name on maps. Very impressive.

[North’s parents lay unconscious]
