M. Popper et ses pingouins

Pippi: That's the pertinent print-out, and the person we're purchasing the property from is present.

Pippi: [to receptionist] Pippi Pepennopolis; I'm Mr. Popper's personal assistant. I process his paper and procure his periodicals.
Mr. Popper: [Aside, to receptionist] She doesn't even know she's doing it.
Pippi: [to Mr. Popper] Pardon?
Mr. Popper: Nothing.

Pippi: [Over phone] Mr. Popper, Pippi. I've parleyed with The Tavern people, and persuaded them to ponder your proposal.

Pippi: Per your predicament, I printed a pertinent page from Wikipedia.
[Reads]
Pippi: "Gentoo penguins may periodically imprint on a particular person as if they were a penguin. Once imprinted, they remain permanently proximate to their parental proxy."
Mr. Popper: Is it actually written that way?
Pippi: I'm paraphrasing.

Mr. Popper: [to Nat, hitting him with the leash] Why are you hitting yourself, huh? Why are you hitting yourself? That's not attractive for a zoo official.

Mr. Popper: My dad used to bring me here whenever he was home.
Amanda: Yeah?
Mr. Popper: Yeah. That was our table. He used to give me these souvenirs he'd bring from his incredible adventures on the road. It was about the only time I ever got to see him. It's actually a good memory. Sometimes they're the worst.

Mr. Popper: I know. I know. I know how it looks. But it's just one more egg. And as soon as it hatches, I'm there. Franklin, how long have I worked for you? You know how many soccer games I've skipped? And dance recitals? What are we doing this for, anyway? There are just some things you can't afford to miss.

Mr. Popper: So where was he, Reginald?
Reginald: Antarctica.
Mr. Popper: Selling ice to the Eskimos?
Reginald: That's the Arctic.
Mr. Popper: Whatever.
Reginald: Your father loved you, Tommy.
Mr. Popper: That's good to know. Do you want to read?
Reginald: The last will and testament of Thomas Popper Sr.: "To the good folks at the Geographic Society, "I leave my Slovenian zither recordings, "the Tahoe yurt and the Uzbek yurt, "as well as the rest of my worldly possessions. "To my little Tommy, "I've sent you a souvenir. "I'm sorry I couldn't deliver this one to you in person. "Bald Eagle, over and out. "

Old Tom Popper, Sr.: [voice-over on letter] My dearest Tommy. In all my travels, I've never encountered a creature quite so wise as this. You see, once it loves you, it never leaves your side. I'm sorry, Son, that it took me so long to learn that lesson. But I hope there's still time for you. Give your little ones a hug from Grandpa and hold them as close as you can for as long as you can. Bald Eagle, over and out.
