Flanigan:
Ladies and gentlemen of the press, I bring you the founder of Mammoth Pictures, Mr. L.B. Mammoth! Boom chachalaca boom chachalaca boom!

Reporter:
Gee whiz, Mr. Mammoth, what's the secret of your success?

L.B. Mammoth:
Simple! It's Dimple!

Flanigan:
Dainty Delightful Darla Dimple!

L.B. Mammoth:
Ah, the recipe for a Darla Dimple movie. Begin with one part adorable character in jeopardy.

[Inside the sound-stage, Darla has tied up Pudge]

Darla Dimple:
Sorry, penguin, but in everyone's life, a little rain must fall. Max, man the valves!

Max:
Yes, Miss Dimple.

[Max opens the water valve]

L.B. Mammoth:
Add two parts perky determination...

Darla Dimple:
More water, Max. More water!

[Max opens the water valve even more, causing the shower heads to burst open]

L.B. Mammoth:
Sprinkle in an air of innocence...

Darla Dimple:
Wind, Max! We must have WIND!

[Max rips off the fan guard, grips one of the blades, and pushes it down, creating wind]

L.B. Mammoth:
Stir in...

Darla Dimple:
More water!

[Max rips off the water valve, sending gallons of water gushing out into the flood]

L.B. Mammoth:
Add a pinch of...

Darla Dimple:
Thunder!

[Max grips a steam pipe, which starts bulging at the bottom. Two gauges and a bulb burn out, harming Pudge. The steam pipe eventually bursts, letting off steam]

L.B. Mammoth:
And an itsy-bitsy dash of...

Darla Dimple:
LIGHTNING!!

[Darla cackling evilly, Max slams the two lightning generators to create lightning]

L.B. Mammoth:
Mix them all together, and what do you get?

[He presses the open door button and the stage doors open, revealing a flooded stage which then spills out into the lot with they screaming in terror. Flanigan leaps into his boss' arms]

Flanigan:
[panicking] Mommy!

[The two friends scream their heads off, followed by the reporters, who scream and run for their lives. Then, the massive flood spills into the open lot, engulfing L.B. Mammoth and Flanigan. Back on the ark, Danny is at the steering wheel as he tries to steer the ark, while Woolie clings onto the crow's nest for dear life. The animal actors scream in terror as the ark does a corkscrew]

Danny Cat:
[panicking] Throw the anchor! Somebody, throw the anchor!

[Tillie tosses the anchor that catches Flanigan and L.B. Mammoth]

Tillie Hippo:
It's L.B.! [singing] We're on! Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag / And smile, smile, smile [bashing T.W. and Frances together]

Sawyer Cat:
[imitating Danny] "Your life isn't back there at the office". He says! "Dance with me". He says. [nags at him] You know what your problem is?! You're pushy, self centered, pig-headed... No offense, Herb.

Herb Pig:
None taken.

[The flood approaches a Samson and Delilah movie set]

Crewman:
Action. We're pushing, we're pushing... We're running, we're running!

[Danny and Sawyer are covered in Egyptian garb]

Sawyer Cat:
And, your driving stinks!

Danny Cat:
Well, maybe you could do better. Go ahead, you take it.

Sawyer Cat:
You take it.

Danny Cat:
You take it.

Sawyer Cat:
No, no, no.

Danny Cat:
If you think you know so much... Sawyer!

Sawyer Cat:
I don't want it.

Cranston Goat:
Well it doesn't get any worse than this. I was wrong. It's worse.

Tillie Hippo:
[gasps] Oh my. This is an awkward moment. I don't think we met. I'm Tillie. Mr. Mammoth, Cranston, Cranston, Mr. Mammoth, Flanigan, Cranston... AAAAAAH!!

Announcer:
What appears to be a tidal wave, folks, is actually just a special effect.

Sawyer Cat:
This has gone far enough! Give me that!

Danny Cat:
You didn't want it before! Give it!

Woolie Mammoth:
Excuse me I don't mean to interrupt or anything, but we're about to...

Danny Cat and Sawyer Cat:
Will you just stay out of this?!

Woolie Mammoth:
Ooh, sorry.

Danny Cat:
Let go. Let go.

Sawyer Cat:
I'm telling you...

Receptionists:
Good day, Mr. Mammoth.

L.B. Mammoth:
You animals will never...

Flanigan:
Nibble kibble in this town again!

Tillie Hippo:
I think they liked it.
