  • Howard T. Duck: Hi, Tootse.

  • Howard T. Duck: Like they say, Doll, love's strange. We could always give it a try.
  • Beverly: Okay, let's go for it Mr. Macho.
  • Beverly: [to Howard as they lie in bed together] I just can't resist your intense animal magnetism.
  • [the feathers on the top of Howard's head stick straight up]
  • Beverly: [Picks up a handful of feathers] What's this in my bed?
  • Howard T. Duck: Ah, souvenirs?
  • Beverly: I'm gonna miss you a lot, Duckie.
  • Beverly: Listen, would you like something to eat or drink? Milk? I could put it in a bowl?
  • Howard T. Duck: Doll, I don't drink out of bowls. Do you gotta beer?
