<Remember, just act like wolves.>
<Yeah, so if anyone sees the Three Little Pigs, don't forget to huff and puff.>
...<We act like we're just sauntering off to go kill a moose--or whatever it is wolves saunter off to do.>
--Jake, Marco

"As long as you have me and the others, you are not lost."
--Rachel

"Jake was getting edgy.  Rachel was downright cranky.  And Marco?  Forget Marco."
--Tobias

"The gift of the Andalite.  The curse of the Andalite.  The power to morph."

<Turning into fish, so we can be carried by a hawk and let ourselves be sucked up the pipe of an alien spaceship, so that we can then turn into tigers and gorillas and whatever, and overpower the creepy aliens?   Is that what you mean by insane?>
<That's it exactly.>
<Yep.  It is insane.>
<Well, okay.  As long as we know we're nuts.  Let's do it!>
--Marco, Rachel

"Be happy for me and for all who fly free."
--Tobias
