Dinky Little : Don't tell me how to fly; I'm the world's greatest pilot! I can tell you...
Grandpa Little : [ties Dinky's scarf over his mouth] Shut up!
Grandpa Little : [as glider spins out of control] Watch out, fool!
Grandpa Little : [falling from the plane] You are the world's greatest knucklehead!

Grandpa Little : [after the pair are spotted by Augustus, who has mistaken them for toys] Good, he thinks we're toys. Pretend you're a toy!
Dinky Little : First I'm a mouse, then bait, now a toy? I never live it down!
Grandpa Little : You cabbage-head! If Augustus finds out who we are, there's no telling what he might do to us!
Dinky Little : I'm a toy! I'm a toy!

Grandpa Little : [after Dinky has fainted when he and Grandpa are nearly cut to pieces by a lawnmower] Dinky? Wake up, Dinky!

Henry Bigg : [having spotted Grandpa and Dinky while mowing the lawn] What are those?

Henry Bigg : What weird little things!
Dinky Little : [offended] Who's a "weird little thing"? I...
Grandpa Little : [covers Dinky's mouth] Shhhh!
-
Grandpa Little : [preparing to lower himself into Augustus' chimney from Dinky's glider, via a rope] When the crows leave, land on the roof, and we'll meet you there. Keep the glider steady, and put me in that chimney!
Grandpa Little : [after smacking into the outside chimney wall] I said put me in the chimney, not in the hospital!
-
Grandpa Little : [tapping his hand against the bulldozer, which has just stopped inches away from destroying the Littles' home, ostensibly by Dinky throwing himself in front of it] It stopped!
Helen Little : That was a brave thing to do, Dinky!
Grandpa Little : Sure was. If there's anything I can ever do for you, name it!
Dinky Little : [sounding lightheaded] There is one thing: you can catch me while I faint!
[cries out, falls backwards, landing in Grandpa's arms]

Lucy Little : [after she and Tom are reunited with Grandpa and Dinky, who have just escaped from being locked inside Augustus' desk] Grandpa, Dinky! Are you OK?
Grandpa Little : Yeah. Good you're here. Quick, we have to get home! Did you hear that Augustus?
Dinky Little : [referring to Henry's gas-powered toy plane, which was damaged by an owl earlier that night] Then let's find that airplane and see if we can repair it!
Grandpa Little : Well, congratulations, Dinky. You finally said something intelligent!
-
Tom Little , Lucy Little : [spotting Grandpa landing in Augustus' house, after plunging down the chimney] Grandpa!
Grandpa Little : [hugging Tom and Lucy] Thank goodness you're OK!
Lucy Little : Yes, but Mom and Dad won't be unless we can get home in time to warn them.
Tom Little : In two days, Augustus is gonna send bulldozers to tear down Henry's house.
Grandpa Little : You are a heartless, vicious old man, Augustus!
Lucy Little : Not only that, but he also slurps his soup.
-
Dinky Little : [seeing his glider being torn to pieces by a cat] My glider!
Tom Little : A cat!
Lucy Little : How are we gonna get home in time now?
Tom Little : I know! Dinky can tame the cat, and we can ride home on his back!
Dinky Little : [shocked by the suggestion] Huh?
Tom Little : Didn't you once tell me you were a lion tamer?
Dinky Little : Of course. The greatest! But I can't tame that cat; I need special equipment that I don't happen to have.
Grandpa Little : [disgusted] Such as courage.
