"All right, switch." "You said you knew what you were doing." "They all look alike." "See." "Now, you take Tara carefully, and put her in that container of green liquid." "OK." "Hurry up." "And Matt, be very careful when you're putting her in." "That's toxic waste." " Toxic waste." " You're soaking in it." "That should do it." "Now, put her in that cylinder." "Perfect." "Now, watch this." "Who's that?" "Carmen Miranda." " That's what I thought." " Something is very wrong." "Hey, Pope." " I say we stop right here." " No, it's not her!" "And it never will be."

" He mushed my girl." " Yeah." "Great!" "All right, this is just great." "Can't you think of anything but your own comfort?" "You saw what that freak did to Tara." "I'm sorry, buddy, I wasn't thinking." "All right, let's find a way to get out of here." "OK." " What's that noise?" " Mice?" "Big mouse." "No, it's horrible creatures, it's giant zucchini and man-eating artichokes!" "Shut up!" "I'll handle this, all right." "Yo!" "Zucchini..." "Tara?" "Chad..." "Tara..." "I thought you never wanted to see me again." "I thought you were ketchup." "I'm so sorry I deceived you." " I'm the one who's sorry." " Look, look... excuse me." "I'm glad you're alive." "I hate to break up a love scene, but I just thought that I would point out that instead of two of us being stuck in here, it's now three of us stuck in here." "Good point." "Hello..." "Hello?" "FT!" "FT!" "FT!" "FT, is that you?" "It's him." "FT, you have to tell Uncle Wilbur where we are." " He can get us out of here." " It's never going to work." " He won't understand him." " Well, we could write a note." "Swell." "Where we going to get paper to write a note?" " Use a page from my script." " Perfect." "Got a pen?" "Great." "FT, listen." "You have to take this note to Wilbur Finletter." "You remember Wilbur Finletter?" "Good." "Hurry, FT." "You have to run as fast as your little feet will take you." "Hurry!" "Go!" "Go!" "I hope he makes it out before July." "Tomato!" "A bit deformed, but it's a tomato all right." "Freeze!" "Don't move!" "I got you!" "All right, now talk!" "What's this?" "I don't know how you got this, but it's Chad's handwriting all right." ""Uncle Wilbur." "Please do not harm this tomato." ""I'm a prisoner of Professor Gangreen."" "Prisoner?" "Where's Matt?" ""Matt is here also." "This tomato can show you where we are."" "He knows I don't trust tomatoes." ""Now I know you don't trust tomatoes, but trust this one for once." ""Signed, your nephew, Chad.""

"'After crushing the Portuguese fleet yesterday afternoon.'" " Hello." " 'Sam!" "Get over here.'" "Gonna need your help fighting the red menace again." " Communists, huh?" " Worse." "Tomatoes." "Tomatoes?" "I'll be right there!" "Come on, Greg." "Let's go." "Welcome, men." "Glad you could make it." "This is our objective." "Gangreen's place." "He won't slip through some legal loophole this time." "We're behind you all the way." "And this is our insurance." "Grab him, Sam." "World domination, boys." "World domination." "I will be satisfied with nothing less." "You'll never get away with this, you slime." "Crime doesn't pay." "Yeah, ditto." "Really boys, save the melodramatics for your acting classes." "Of course crime pays." "This is real life!" "This isn't some game!" "We're on to you, Gangreen." "We know all about your tomato people." "You're finished." "Don't make me laugh." "Your feeble plan to stop me has failed, Finletter." "You think this is all there is?" "No, no, no, my dear boy." "There is much, much more." "As you've seen, my tomatoes can be made to resemble anyone." "The chief of police." "A congressman." "The President himself!" "With my scientific genius and Jim Richardson's political savvy, we will not fail again!" "Come, Igor." "We must get to the prison on time." "If the garbage truck doesn't make its regular schedule, it will arouse suspicion." "Now you have placed the tomatoes on the truck?" "We're loaded, ready to roll, Professor." "Good, good, good." "So long, boys." "Wait, what about Tara?" "You forget." "She is my creation." "I made her for my needs and it is my needs that she serves!" "You wouldn't believe what she can do with six milk bottles and a tuning fork." "You rat!" "Calm down, Mr Finletter." "In just ten minutes you'll be a tomato." "Don't worry about it." "It's not so bad." "After all, you could have been a rutabaga." "No, no." "I'll do the laughing, if you please." "See you in a salsa." "To the prison, Igor." "Oh, my God." " Guards!" "Damn!" " We need a distraction." " That little fink." " Oops." "There's our diversion." "What do you know about that?" "A regular Tonto." "Let's go." "So, where are they?" "This place must have 50 rooms." "It's big." "We'll have to spread out." "If you hear anything, anything at all, use the secret call." "The secret call." "Yeah." "Mummy..." "Mummy..." "Mummy..." "Mummy..." "Mummy..." "Mummy..." "Will you be my friend?" "Help, help!" "Murder, murder." "Wait, stop!" "Stop." "Danger." "He's dead." "He's dead..." "The secret's out." "Hi ho Silver!" "Away!" "Uncle!" "The timer!" "The timer!" "The timer!" "The timer!" "Get up!" "Get up!" "Time out!" "Time out!" " Nice move." " Thank you." "Now hurry up, Uncle Wilbur." "We only have a few seconds left." "That was our last time out." "Let go of me!" "Hang on, Wilbur." "We're coming." "Ah!" "Ghost!" "Wilbur?" " Get the door!" " Get the door!" "You got the door!" "Tara!" "We have to get to the prison and save Tara." "Come on." "Let's go!" "Let's go!" "Let's go!" "Matt?" " Come on, Matt." " But the blonde there..." "No!" "I'm so alone, I'll be back!" "Follow me, men." "To the prison!" "Got to get to the prison!" "Come on, everybody!" "One, two, one, two..." "Get up!" "Let's go!" "Fire 'em up!" "FT?" "Where's FT?" "Come on, buddy, let's go!" "FT!" "Hang on, fuzzball." "Here, here!" "No!" "All right." "Right here." "Right here." "Hurry!" "Hurry!" "No!" "Quickly, go!" "Don't lose them." "Open the door!" " Sam, get the gate!" "Open it up!" " OK." "Hurry, Sam." "OK, FT, you stay here and guard the bikes." "Matt, you come with me." " I'll guard the bikes." " FT's guarding the bikes." " I don't like FT." " You're coming with me." " I'll go with you." " Let's go, let's go." "Come on." "I'll guard the flank, you go ahead." "Ready." "Aim." "No!" "Fire!" "Tomatoes." "Charge!" "Let's get 'em!" "Tara!" "I will not be mocked any longer." "I was a star in the first film..." "You give me two lousy lines in this picture." "I want my agent." "I want my publicist..." "Please!" "I'm really bad." " Yeah." " Let's go, men!" "Tara!" "Don't move, or she gets it!" "It'll take more than that to scare me." "How about this hand grenade?" "That'll do it." "Hello?" "No, I don't know the secret word for today." "You have ten seconds." "I said I don't know the..." "You notice how everything we set up in the first reel pays off in the last?" " Pretty swift, huh?" " Not everything." "Everything." "A grenade!" "Tara!" "No, come on, nobody can survive that gas." "Listen to me." "There's nothing you can do." "Sorry, buddy." "Tara!" "I don't understand." "How could you have survived?" "You forget, I'm not human." "I don't care what you are, as long as we're together." "Then you'd better get used to her on your salads." "OK, wait." "You're supposed to be a tomato." "What happened?" "Zounds!" "Should have known it." "Once you've been gassed, you'll never be a real tomato again." "You mean I'm human permanently?" "FVI ." "Take these men away." "No prison on earth can hold me, Tara." "Tomorrow is another day." "Does this mean we'll be on the news tonight?" "Oh, cut that out." "Ding dong, the witch is dead." "Yeah." " Right there, guys." " Yes!" "Where's FT?" "That was the bravest thing I've ever seen a vegetable do." "Yeah." "Maybe tomatoes can be of some good after all." "FT's all right." "FT's alive!" "He's all right!" "Hey, guys, it's the press!" "It's all right." "Hey, all right, I was not alone." "The people I want to thank..." "It was mostly me, but..." "Wait, come on, look, I jumped in this window and I was..." " Major Finletter, what happened here?" " How did you stop this terrible plan?" "Is it true you wear women's underwear?" "Wrong man!" "Wrong man." "There's your hero." "That's the little fella that saved the day." "Right here." "Right there..." "Isn't he the cutest thing, Daddy?" "Daddy, buy me an FT doll!" "Please, Daddy!" "Why, of course, dear." "Who wouldn't want one of these cute little dolls?" "They're the perfect gift for any boy or girl and they're on sale in the lobby of this theatre." "If not, ask at your favourite toy or department store." "Don't let your child be left out." "Christmas isn't very far away." "I love you, FT." " I want an FT!" " I want an FT!" "FT!" "FT!" "FT!" "FT!" " A fine couple." " Yeah." "Have you seen Matt?" "He said he was going back to destroy that transformation equipment." " Good idea." "He's a fine boy, too." " Yeah."
