Buster Moon
[edit]- [Crystal Entertainment Receptionist: No.] No? What do you mean "no"?
- Guys, this is the entertainment capital of the world!
- Johnny, you’re going to be working with the number one choreographer in Redshore City.
- Let’s go spread a little Moon Theater magic!
- [while hiding in his suitcase] [Ash: Buster?] Ash?
- Remember, [with everyone] THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY LEFT TO GO AND THAT"S UP!
Jimmy Crystal
[edit]- I need BIG shows, Jerry! BIG IDEAS!
- MOON!! [Buster: Mr. Crystal.] Your set designs are a disgrace! [Buster: What?] [glares at Buster for a moment, then laughs] I'm just messing with you. Where's your sense of humor, huh? Anyway, this is my daughter Porsha. [Porsha: Hey.] [Buster: Nice to meet you, Porsha.] She wants to meet Calloway. Big fan, aren't you, baby?
- [as he spots Porsha performing on stage] Porsha! Get offa there! Don't you make me come out there!
Klaus Kickenklober
[edit]- Tippy-toes. Tippy-toes. I don’t see your tippy-toes!
- Let's not forget: This is Redshore City, not your little local theater!
- [after he knocks down Johnny] You'll never be great, Johnny!
Dialogue
[edit]- [Nana Noodleman finds Buster curled up in his drawer after Suki told him he was not good enough]
- Nana: Oh, for heaven's sake.
- Buster: [sighs] What can I say, Nana? I'm a failure.
- Nana: Oh, poppycock.
- Buster: I was reaching too high.
- Nana: Honestly! One negative comment, and it's all, "Woe is me!".
- Buster: Nana, come on. She said I'm not good enough. I mean, heck, I've just been told that my destiny, all of my hopes and dreams, uh, they all end right here!
- Nana: Well, what did you expect? That she would drop to her knees and declare you a genius? Roll out the red carpet for the great Buster Moon!
- Buster: She... SHE RAN ME OFF THE ROAD INTO A CANAL!
- Nana: Well, you're still in one piece, aren't you?
- Buster: Well, yeah, but...
- Nana: Well, anyone who dares set out to follow their dreams is bound to face a lot worse than a dip in the canal. [one of Nana's penguin butlers appear] Ah, Hobbs. I found him. Uh, bright the car around, will you? That's a good chap.
- Buster: I... I just thought she'd at least see we deserved a shot.
- Nana: Never mind what this person you don't even know said. Do you think you're good enough?
- Buster: Of course, but...
- Nana: Then you must fight for what you believe in; guts, stamina, faith. These are the things you need now, and without them... Well, maybe that scout was right. Maybe you're not good enough. [leaves but then comes back to see Buster ponder over what she said]
- [Buster visits Ash at a rock club]
- Buster: Wow! Heh. You were great out there.
- Ash: I got to go back out there for an encore.
- Buster: Okay. Hey, but what are you doing after the show?
- Ash: Uh, nothing.
- Buster: Well, listen. I know this is a crazy short notice, but you always said you'd come back with us when the time was right.
- Ash: Of course!
- Buster: Well, this is that time!
- [the rock club's manager Rick rudely pushes past Buster]
- Rick: Here, paycheck. [hands Ash her paycheck]
- Buster: I'm gettin' the gang together to go audition for this huge show...
- Ash: Just-just a second. [to Rick] Hey, Rick, how come you're only paying me half what the other acts get?
- Rick: I pay what I think you're worth, sweetheart.
- Ash: Oh, okay. See, I have this rule about not letting guys like you tell me what I'm worth, so, you know, unless I get paid like everyone else, I'm out of here.
- Rick: [chuckles] This is the only club in town. Where else you gonna play?
- Ash: I have no idea, but I'm sure as heck not sticking around here. [to Buster] Let's go. [she and Buster start heading out]
- Rick: Whoa, whoa. Wait a minute. You-you got to do the encore. Hey, Ash!
- Ash: Deal with it, sweetheart!
- Crystal Entertainment Receptionist: Hey, Ricky.
- Meena: [gasps] Ahem. [deep voice] Hi.
- Klaus: You think some riff-raff street dancer can help you more than me?!
- Nooshy: [offended] Riff-raff?!
- Johnny: Okay, okay. Hang on. She's just gonna give me some extra lessons, that's all.
- Klaus: Oh, because I, Klaus Kickenklober, master choreographer, am (just) not good enough for Johnny.
- Johnny: No, that's not what I meant.
- Klaus: Yes, I'm irrelevant to him. I'm just a stupid, fat, old monkey!
- Johnny: I don't think of that at all!
- Nooshy: I do.
- Johnny: Shh! Please. She's only trying to help me.
- Nooshy: Come on, dude! Anyway, I only need 2 days with him.
- Klaus: 2 days?! Ha! 200 years, more like.
- Nooshy: In 2 days, he'll be amazing!
- Klaus: Oh, really? Well, if he is, I. Will. Eat. My. Hat!
- [Suki takes Buster to Crystal's office]
- Buster: You wanted to see me, sir?
- Jimmy Crystal: Yes, I did. Yes, I did. Come on in.
- Buster: Whoa. This place is incredible.
- Jimmy Crystal: [chuckles] Pretty great, huh?
- [Buster takes a seat at Crystal's desk]
- Jimmy Crystal: So, how's it going with Calloway?
- Buster: Calloway? It's, uh... It's good. Yeah, very good.
- Jimmy Crystal: Right, right. Well, let me ask you something. What did I do to make you disrespect me, huh?
- Buster: What?
- Jimmy Crystal: What? You think I'm an idiot, some kinda bozo?
- Buster: No... No, sir. Not at all! (What made you...?)
- Jimmy Crystal: My team, they talked to Calloway's lawyer, and they say he's never heard of you, or your show.
- Buster: Really? They said that? Uh...
- Jimmy Crystal: [off-screen and looking angry, Crystal pounds his fists on his desk] YOU LIED TO ME!!!
- Buster: I didn't mean to. Okay?! Uh, honestly, I really thought I could get him.
- Jimmy Crystal: No one makes me look like a fool! NO ONE!!!
- Buster: I-I-I wouldn't dream of doing that to you!
- Jimmy Crystal: I swear to God, if I didn't have my kid in your show, you'd be outta that window by now!
- Buster: [Jimmy sniffing and growling] Please, please, please! I-I-I'm so sorry...!
- Jimmy Crystal: [leans forward to Buster] You'd better have Calloway by the end of next week or so HELP ME!
- Buster: I will! I'll get him. I won't let you down, sir.
- Jimmy Crystal: Oh, I know you won't let me down.
- Ash: This... This is all because you lost your wife, isn't it?
- Clay: Okay, porcupine. We're not talking about my Ruby.
- Ash: Look, I know she inspired so many of your songs...
- Clay: All of my songs.
- Ash: Right. I... I can't imagine what it must be like to lose someone so special, but do you think this is what Ruby would've wanted for you? I mean, you out here on your own and never singing again?
- Clay: No, y-you don't understand. There's... there's no rock star living here anymore.
- Ash: Clay, you just need to play again. Your songs will bring you back. You can. You can reconnect with...
- Clay: NO, I CAN'T! I haven't even heard one of my songs for 15 years, and for good reason. [calms down] Ruby was everything. And I don't like honey in my tea.
- Porsha: [performing as an astronaut; flatly] Captain's log. I must take care, for I have landed... on... the Planet of War.
- Buster: Porsha, you know I truly believe that this show, but it's close to being fantastic, maybe even perfect.
- Porsha: Thank you.
- Buster: Yeah, yeah, but, see, to make it the best it can be...[takes deep breath] Well, I got to make some changes.
- Porsha Crystal: Uh-huh. (Like what for example?)
- Buster: Like... [mutters, takes a deep breath] I have to give the lead role back to Rosita.
- Porsha Crystal: [shocked] WHAT?!
- Buster: I'm just offering you the opportunity to switch roles with...
- Porsha Crystal: [misunderstanding] Y-You're FIRING me??
- Buster: No, I'm not firing you.
- Porsha Crystal: [angry, storms out] Oh-ho, wait 'til my dad hears that you fired me!
- Buster: But I’m not firing you! Please, wait!
- Porsha Crystal: [incredulously] Oh, my gosh. You all hate me, don’t you?
- Buster: No, no, no! We don't hate you! We all think you’re terrific!
- Porsha Crystal: Well, I don’t care if you hate me!
- Buster: Please stop.
- Porsha Crystal: [storming off after a miscommunication with Buster] You and your stupid, stupid sky-fi show can go to heck!
- Buster: Porsha, stop. Wait! Oh, I am one dead koala.
- Linda: And the hottest story today: Porsha Crystal was reportedly fired from her father’s show.
- Jimmy Crystal: [angry grunts as he smashes the TV with a remote control] He fired my daughter? MY DAUGHTER?! [Porsha wails] WOULD YOU BE QUIET? YOU EMBARRASSED ME ENOUGH!
- Porsha Crystal: [still sobbing] But, Daddy...!
- Jimmy Crystal: Now the whole world thinks I have a talentless loser for a daughter! Take her home! [Porsha is still crying as his henchmen escorts her home] Bring me Moon.
- [Buster has been called in by Crystal after "firing" Porsha, he'd just found that Clay has agreed to perform in the show]
- Suki: Mr. Moon, what have you done?
- Buster: Mr. Crystal! Ah! I've got some great news. Clay Calloway is on his way here right now!
- Jimmy Crystal: [to his henchmen] Everybody out. [his henchmen leaves]
- Buster: Okay, I think I know what this might be about, and I...
- Jimmy Crystal: You fired Porsha.
- Buster: No, no. I never fired her.
- Jimmy Crystal: You calling her a liar?
- Buster: No, no, no, no, she just got it wrong is all. I was only trying to help her do the best she could, and be...believe me, I... I... I just wanna do the right thing.
- Jimmy Crystal: The right thing to do... [angrily grabs Buster by the collar, screams at him in the face] ...IS WHAT I TELL YOU TO DO!!
- Buster: But I did! I delivered a great show. And Calloway, he's coming. [Jimmy holds him above the roof] No! No! No! Stop! STOP! [whimpers]
- Jimmy Crystal: You really think I'd let a lowlife little amateur loser like You, humiliate me!?
- Buster: Please! Please!
- Jimmy Crystal: You made me look bad. So I'm gonna have to let you go!
- [just as he's about to drop Buster, Jerry comes in]
- Jerry: Sir. Uh, sir, sir. I'm so sorry to bother you, but you have a live TV appearance in just a moment, so it might be better if we just put a pin in this right now.
- [Jimmy angrily throws Buster into his closet]
- Buster: [scared] You nearly killed me!
- Jimmy Crystal: And I'll finish the job later. [He slams the door and locks it]
- Suki: [after she let Buster out from the closet] Shh! You need to get out of this city and never, ever come back. You understand? Never.
- Buster: Okay, okay. I understand.
- Suki: I told you you weren’t cut out for this.
- Buster: He tried to kill me!
- Suki: Yeah, and when he finds you’re gone, he’ll have his thugs looking all over for you.
- Buster: Okay. Thank you, Suki. I’m so, so...
- Suki: Get out of here!
- [Buster runs out of the office]
- Jerry: Sir! Sir, sir! [whispering about Buster escaping from the closet] (Moon has gone.)
- Jimmy Crystal: [furious] WHAT!? [snaps fingers to call his henchmen] Moon got out. FIND HIM!
- Buster: Hey, you made it! [hugs Porsha's legs]
- Porsha Crystal: Yeah, well, uh, maybe I overreacted a little before.
- Gunter: A little? You were like a total drama queen back there.
- Buster: Yeah, OK. We're all good now.
- Porsha Crystal: Wow, my dad's gonna flip when he finds out about us.
- Buster: Well, we're safe for now. But, listen. Let's-
- Porsha Crystal: Safe? [scoffs] Eh, no. None of us are safe.
- Johnny: Mr. Moon, I know someone who can protect us.
- [Meanwhile, Johnny talks to his father on the phone]
- Big Daddy: Right. Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah. Protection? Say no more, son. We're on our way.
- Jimmy Crystal: Good night, Porsha. [unbeknownst to him, Porsha is not in her room] Alright, be that way! I don’t care! (muttering under his breath) Spoiled little brat.
- Jerry: Mr. Crystal, Mr. Crystal!
- Jimmy Crystal: Argh! JERRY!
- Raoul: I tried to stop him, sir.
- Jerry: I'm so sorry to wake you up, sir! It’s Moon! He's taken over the theater and putting up his show right now!
- Jimmy Crystal: [outraged] He's WHAAATT?!
- [As he gets out of bed, Jerry screams in terror like a little girl when he sees him naked]
- [Crystal falls through a trapdoor by Buster]
- Buster: Ms. Crawly put some cushions and snacks down there, so you should be comfortable 'til the show's over.
- Jimmy Crystal: YOU LITTLE...! [Buster closes the trapdoor]
- Jimmy Crystal: I've got you now, you lowlife little loser!
- Buster: No, sir. I'm not a loser. We did what we came here to do. And there's nothing you can do or say to change that.
- Jimmy Crystal: Oh, I can do whatever I want!
- Jimmy Crystal: Thank you, thank you! You're too kind. I appreciate it, really, I do. Look, I am very proud of this show! We did great work here, great work. And my good friend, Clay. Great to have him back, right? [the audience cheers] Yeah! And listen, I look forward to seeing this show run in my theater, for many, many years to come. Right, Moon? [He turns to find Buster and the others are gone, last words, confused] Moon?
- [As the audience laughs at him, Crystal looks scared and wide-eyed. Suki angrily stands with 6 police officers: a gorilla, a crocodile, an antelope, a rhino, and two dogs]
- Suki: Officers, arrest that wolf.
- [The officers take Crystal to jail]
- Jerry: [last words as he runs after arrested Crystal] Wait, wait, wait, wait! He's innocent! Mr. Crystal, please! I love you!
