• Mr. Sir : I got a story for your Girl Scouts. Once upon a time there was a magical place where it never rained. The end.

  [snickers scornfully] 

• Mr. Sir : Stanley Yelnats... the Fourth?

  Stanley : Everyone in my family names their son Stanley, 'cause it's Yelnats backwards. It's this little... tradition.

  Mr. Sir : [embarrassed]  It ain't.

• Mr. Sir : You take a bad boy, make him dig holes all day in the hot sun, it turns him into a good boy. That's our philosophy here at Camp Green Lake.

• Mr. Sir : There ain't nothing down there. We woulda found it by now.

  Mr. Pendanski : I wouldn't tell the queen bee that.

  Mr. Sir : I ain't on stupid pills!

• The Warden Walker : [while all the boys are digging out a deep trench, Armpit tries to dupe the Warden into thinking that he has found something which is obviously nothing more than a recently broken TV nob]  Are you trying to be funny, or do you just think I'm stupid?

  Armpit : No, ma'am. I wasn't trying to be funny.

  The Warden Walker : Excuse me?

  Mr. Sir : You know something, Armpit? Your little joke has just cost you a week of shower privileges.

  Stanley : Rattlesnakes?

  Mr. Sir : If you don't bother them they wont bother you and ya wont get bitten and die. Usually.

• Mr. Sir : This ain't a girl scout camp!

• Mr. Sir : Everything turns to callous eventually. That's life!

• Mr. Sir : All life begins with water. So think of it this way, I'm givin' you life. Say thank you.

  Stanley : Thank you, Mr. Sir.

• Mr. Sir : I ain't on stupid pills.

• Mr. Sir : This ain't no kindergarteners in the sandbox!

• Mr. Sir : How did that get there? Did it fall from the sky?

• [after watching Stanley try and fail to begin digging his first hole] 

  Mr. Sir : One down, ten million to go.

• Mr. Sir : Keep running, there ain't gonna be no Yelnats the fifth!
