“I was told the Aquarium had a live blue whale my son could ride for his birthday.”

“I'm no expert, but if you sautĂ© the squid in a little light olive oil and garlic, it really gets rid of the fish taste.”

“We may not be fancy marine biologists, but the Pacific Ocean is the best one. It is the Pacific out here in California, right?”

“Don’t worry Ma’am. We’ll find out who took your Megaptera novaeangliae.”

This week on CSI: Birthday Party Unit, Ross and Alff go undercover to tackle a notorious mollusk smuggling ring – with surprising results.

“Wait a minute. How could a single Gulper eel swallow fourteen pieces of cake? Oh, right… Gulper eel…”

“Guys, I’ll say it again. The Aquarium does not have any lions, or tigers, or ligers, or any land mammals for that matter.”

“Are you sure the Earth is 71% water? Because I heard somewhere it was more like 73%.”

"I'm sorry sir, but once you throw the coins in, you can not take them back."

Tom said...

"Don't screw with us, sister: take us to the giant squid."

Derek said...

"I was under the impression we got to pick out our own lobster for the main course."

Derek said...

"Yes, I understand about the food chain, but does the 'Majestic Ocean Life: A Symphony of Nature' exhibit have to be right beside 'Salty's Fish Shack Café'?"

Tom said...

Yeah, two white boys from Burbank...like I'm really scared.

Derek said...

"OK, if we're so 'evolved' how do you explain my friend here?"

Tom said...

"We'll see what Baby Fi-Fi has to say about this."

Tom said...

"You think you're so cool, standing behind that faux rock structure..."

Tom said...

"How many times do we have to go over this: the Kraken...doesn't...EXIST..."

Deacon said...

When are we going to turn around and play with those balls in the bucket?

Tom said...

"You wanna piece of me? I work for Disney."

Tom said...

"Back off, or I'll slap the two of you with my blubber glove."

Tom said...

"Security, dispatch Sigmund and the Sea Monsters to the the petting station, immediately."

Tom said...

"We were under the impression this was one of those all-you-can-eat joints."

Tom said...

"Do you know who I am? I had the lead role in that Shaffer picture, 'Cookie Quest'."

Terri said...

The 'Cookie Quest' reference is beyond brilliant...

Derek said...

Oh, great, real "fair and impartial" contest judging...

Derek said...

"I can assure you the recent SF Zoo tragedy was an isolated incident, but NO, it is never acceptable to taunt a tiger shark."

Deacon said...

"Why is a Tanystropheus walking in this room?!"

Deacon said...

"Lookit, here comes the party fish!"

Michelle Coder said...

Not the worry...he only lost the tip of his finger.

Please calm down gentleman, this is a children's exhibit. Do you want me to call security?

Grammie said...

"Did he just blink, DID HE? 'Cuz if he did, you should declare me the winner so we can all go home."

Grammie said...

"Gentlemen, I'm growing weary of telling you this is not a moat and there is no castle!!!"

Tom said...

"Um...are there any SANE people who have questions?"

Tom said...

"ALRIGHT, Mr. Alff, fine, you got me: Spinal Tap's "Smell The Glove" is way better than my dumb old blubber glove...are you happy?"

Tom said...

"There's a lobster growing out of her right ear, I tell you."

Tom said...

"WHAT'RE YOU TWO LOOKING AT?!?!"

Terri said...

"The Giants won the Superbowl? The GIANTS?!?"

Tom said...

"Uh, no, Mr. Alff...I don't know if starfish 'high five' each other with their entire bodies."

Tom said...

"Oh, that's really mature, trying to shake the wall so I'll get splashed."

Derek said...

"The DEATH STAR will be in range in five minutes..."

Tom said...

"You boys can use the walkie-talkie when you demonstrate you can use it responsibly."

Tom said...

"How dare you taser my grouper."

Derek said...

"A blue shirt. At an aquarium. A bit of a cliché, no?"

Grammie said...

Look here, girl, we've been standing here for a week, trying to think of an entry for your silly contest, and now you say you're going to end it on Thursday, just because you have BETTER things to do???

Tom said...

"So what you're saying is that fish breathe underwater, is that right?"

Michelle Coder said...

Gentlemen, please! I know you've become fond of that starfish but you cannot take it home.

How many times do I have to tell you, the bathroom is around the corner!

I'm afraid it will be an hour before we can bring in the equipment to free your hands from the wall. Can you tell me again how you managed to glue them to the display?

Derek said...

"Look, you're right, I'm sorry. It was totally unprofessional for me to comment on the similarity between the pug-ugly buttfish and your face."

Tom said...

"Yo, take a chill-pill, home-girl; we're just doing our stretching exercises."

Tom said...

"Hey, don't make us climb over this thing..."

Tom said...

"Yes, you gentlemen in back, with the white suits and nets: please step forward."

Tom said...

"Until you give it up with the waterhorse...we're...not...budging...."

Christi said...

Agents Edison and Einstein interrogate Sally on which bone the fin bone is connected to.

Derek said...

"Sorry, but I WILL NOT back down. My friend here dared me to drink all the water in this entire display, and that's what I'm gonna do."

Derek said...

"Please settle a bet between me and my friend... Is it true, from a scientific standpoint, that 'Love Is Thicker Than Water' as Andy Gibb claimed?"

Derek said...

"...so the oceanographer says 'Wait a minute, that's not my Pterois radiata!'"

Matt said...

Let me get this straight...you guys have a production company and you want me to star in your "Kung-Fu movie?" Yeah, I've heard that one before!

Matt said...

Omigosh! Do you guys know Tory from "Myth Busters?"

Matt said...

Gentlemen, thank you for attending our Rogaine seminar...
