Earthworm
- Centipede: I've sailed all the five seas. From the land of Bora Bora to the icy shores of Tripoli. Commodore Centipede, they used to call me.
- Grasshopper: Seven.
- Centipede: Huh?
- Grasshopper: There are seven seas, and Tripoli is in the Sub-Tropics, Commodore!
- Centipede: Trim the sails!
- Ladybug: There are no sails.
- Centipede: Start the engines!
- Earthworm: There are no engines.
- Centipede: I can't work with this miserable crew!
- [James has discovered he has changed]
- James: It's like he said: Marvelous things will happen.
- Glowworm: Did he say, "Marvelous pigs in satin"?
- Grasshopper: No, dear lady.
- [He takes out a megaphone and speaks through it]
- Grasshopper: Marvelous things will happen.
- [to James]
- Grasshopper: Poor Glowworm, she's a little deaf.
- Earthworm: I, on the other hand, have exquisite hearing.
- Centipede: Oh, yeah? Well, listen to this...
- [He spits into his many hands and grabs the megaphone and yells into it]
- Centipede: LET'S GET OUTTA HERE!
- James: When I had a problem, my mom and dad would tell me to look at it another way.
- Earthworm: How? First, I was bird bait, then I was shark bait.
- James: I suppose, but you could say you gave us wings to fly, and defeated a giant shark single-handedly.
- Earthworm: No-handedly.
- James: You're a hero.
- Earthworm: I am? I'm Wonder Worm!
- James: You are!
- [Spiker and Sponge are outside the peach, looking for James]
- Aunt Spiker: Where are you? You detestable little worm!
- Earthworm: AAAHHHHHH!
- James: Not you, ME!
- [in the darkness]
- Earthworm: [Centipede pinches him] Ow! What was that?
- Centipede: Sorry, I thought you were the spider.
- Grasshopper: [Miss Spider hits him] Ouch. What was *that*?
- Miss Spider: Excuse, I thought you were the Centipede.
- Earthworm: She won't be coming down here with the spray. She'll be coming down here with a shovel. It happened to m' brother. Split him right down the middle. Now I have two half-brothers.
- The Grasshopper: No-one is going to squoosh you, old boy. You're six feet long now.
- Earthworm: Bigger targets.
- Earthworm: We gotta get out of here. We'll be turned into living statues.
- Grasshopper: *Dead* living statues!
- Old Green Grasshopper: Oh this is all my fault.
- Earthworm: Hey don't take all the credit, I helped too!
- Earthworm: Great! We'll be stuck here until we starve and die.
- The Grasshopper: Highly improbable.
- Ladybug: Well, that's encouraging.
- The Grasshopper: We are far more likely to drown.
- Ladybug: [Discussing how to fly out] How would you do it, James?
- James: With those seagulls. But we'll need string.
- Earthworm: [Sarcastically] Oh, well I'll just go to the stationers and pick up some paperclips while I'm at it!
- Spider: [Pulling a thread from her body] I have string - miles of string.
- James: And we'll need bait. Food bait.
- Earthworm: Food bait? Where do you expect we're going to find bird bait out here in the middle of the...
- [Notices everyone staring at him as Miss Ladybug pulls a cowbell out of her handbag]
- Earthworm: Of the... oh no. Have you lost your minds?
- [Screams as they grab him]
- Grasshopper: [he heard in the distance] James! Up here!
- Glowworm: Hello! We're here!
- Centipede: Hey, buddy!
- Aunt Sponge: [stutters] What are they?
- Glowworm: [they grab one of their strings with seagulls on top] Young James.
- Centipede: Hey, Jimmy!
- Aunt Spiker: [looks up in fright] BUGS!
- Centipede: [the people looked at them] Need a little help down there?
- Aunt Sponge: [screams] GIANT BUGS!
- [Spiker and Sponge gasp in fright]
- Centipede: HEY, YOU OLD BIDDIES!
- [blows a raspberry on them]
- Aunt Sponge: [Spiker grabs Sponge's hand] Help us!
- Ladybug: Whoo-ee! Here we are, dear.
- Earthworm: Hello, James!
- James: [looks up at them] I TOLD you they were real.
- Grasshopper: Hello, old boy.
- Miss Spider: Requesting clearance to land.
- [the bugs land on the giant peach and Spiker and Sponge recoil in fright as the crowd gazes at the bugs]
- James: Miss Spider, throw me a string.
- [she tosses down a strand of thread to James, who lassoes Spiker and Sponge with it]
- James: Okay. Pull them up.
- [the bugs pull Spiker and Sponge up off the ground]
- Aunt Sponge: HELP!
- [Spiker and Sponge scream as they're pulled up and dangle from the crane hook]
- Aunt Sponge: Where are we going?
- James: Spin them around.
- Aunt Sponge: YOU LITTLE...
- [Grasshopper kicks Spiker and Sponge, causing them to spin around]
- James: Wrap them tightly!
- [Miss Spider throws a length of thread around Spiker and Sponge's legs as they spin, and their wigs fly off]
- James: Tighter! Tighter!
- [Spiker and Sponge spin even faster and faster as the thread wraps around them]
- Beat Cop: [watching everything with the crowd] Well, I'll be a... The kid was tellin' the truth.
- [Spiker and Sponge are now cocooned in thread]
- Beat Cop: [to crane operator] Get those two creeps OUTTA here!
- [the crane operator moves the crane away, taking Spiker and Sponge with it]
- James: [Desperately] Wiggle, Mr Earthworm - out lives depend on it!
- Earthworm: [Miserably] I can't - I'm all wiggled out!
- Centipede: Here - let me help you.
- [Grabs the Earthworm by his tail and whirls him around his head in full view]
- Centipede: Come and get it! Get your fresh hot wienie!
- [the seagulls start to flock down]
