Olivia Ostrich/Quotes

* "It's a good thing Schnoz Ali sent us this map, Groucho Barx. If we follow it carefully, maybe we can find him and the treasure!"
* "Are you sure we're in the right place? I don't see Schnoz Ali anywhere."
* "Say, maybe he'll know which way we should go. Excuse me, Mr. Zebra!"
* "A monster? Oh Groucho, let's get out of here!"
* "You see Mr. Zebra? It wasn't a monster."
* "Get serious, Groucho. We're going to need all the help we can get. We need to take the clues that we see and hear, and figure out what they mean."
* "Oh, Groucho! Maybe Schnoz Ali is in trouble. Come on, we have to find out."
* "They've got to get organized!"
* "Hmm, I have an idea. We'll put them into groups, then each group can take a turn."
* "Certainly. We'll start with all the animals whose names begin with the letter T. T sounds like 'tuh'."
* "Right, Groucho! And there's a tiger!"
* "...and a turtle!"
* "We're doing so well, let's keep going!"
* "The next group starts with the letter M. That's the 'mm' sound."
* "Wonderful. Now where getting somewhere."
* "Hmm, what names start the letter C?"
* "Now for the letter S."
* "A... A... A SNAKE!!! EEEEEK!!!"
* "Thank you. Goodness, that certainly takes a lot out of a girl! Now, what was that letter? Oh yes, the letter R. The 'rr' sound."
* "I do believe you're right. Why don't you call them, Groucho?"
* "Looks we've come to the edge of the water, Groucho."
* "Look Groucho! It's the crocodile with a message from Schnoz Ali!"
* "Thanks for you help, Zebra!"
* "Look up ahead! It looks like Schnoz Ali has left a marker and another message. Oh Groucho, can't this crocodile move any faster?"
* "Here's the new section of the map Schnoz Ali left."
* "You're right. There it is. It looks pretty spooky to me! What do you think, Groucho?"
* ***"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"***
* "EEEEEEK!!! GROUCHO, HELP!!!"
* "Shh! Groucho, look! You hurt his feelings!"
* "Groucho, that must be King Tut!"
* "We'll be glad to help you Tut! Let's see..."
* "Say, I think I've got it."
* "Oh Groucho, listen. Remember all the letters for beginning sounds that we learned at the water hole?"
* "Well, these letters must make word endings. 'a' and 'n' put together makes the word ending 'an'. If we take the 'c' for 'kuh', and put it in front of this word ending, 'an', we make the word 'can'!"
* "That's it! 'Kuh'... 'an'... 'Can'."
* "That's right! 'Puh', 'an'... 'Pan'."
* "Look at this door. It has 'o-g' above it. '-Og'. What goes with '-og'?"
* "Listen, listen! Listen carefully! Look at every word that you can see!"
* "What luck! Another piece of the map! Let's see, here's the path from the hut. Let's go right!"
* "*[coughs]* Oh, my goodness! I-I must have lost my footing."
* "Oh, look at me! I'm a mess!"
* "You know Schnoz Ali?"
* "Do you think you could point us in the right direction?"
* "Seealot is trying to show us something. Oh, I see! Schnoz Ali left another marker! He must want us to look behind the tooth. Look!"
* "It must be a secret passageway. Sure is dark..."
* "Look, Groucho! Drawings on the cave walls! I hope these are clues, but what does this picture mean?"
* "My instincts tell me that now may be the time for us to jump!"
* "Groucho, Dualot, jump over here! There's another word clue!"
* "Let's all sing! Everybody!"
* "I'm scared! I don't like the sound of this place!"
* "Look, seealot found another picture!"
* "Why, I think we have arrived."
* "This must be where we put words together to make sentences!"
* "Groucho, what does that flashing sign read?"
* "That makes sense. In order to be a good reader, we have to be able to read words and sentences."
* "You sent us a treasure map, and we've been following it to find you!"
* "The bus? What bus?"
* "Do you mean we've been through all this for nothing?"
* "Look at all the games! I want to play them all, Groucho. Come on!"
* "'a', 'the', 'see', 'in'. Those *are* special words. We use at least one of them in almost every sentence we read. Let's get chips for each word."
* "Let's see. 'rake', 'dog', 'king', 'cat'. Yes! I certainly do! We've learned all of those words at King Tut's hut."
* "And speaking of King Tut, look who's here!"
* "We're not only having fun, we're learning about sentences too."
* "We'd love to! How do we play?"
* "Oh, Groucho, how exciting! 'a' is a very important word."
* "'a', 'king', 'can', jump.'"
* "'A cat can run'! Yay! I'm so proud of myself!"
* "Tut, what would happen if I used a 'the' card in place of the 'a' card?"
* "'The man can sing'! 'A man can sing'! It works both ways."
* "I'm right behind you, Groucho!"
* "This is the most thrilling moment of my life!"
* "Right, Groucho."
