Jose:

Otis: It's a sloth.
Catrina: Well I think it's the ugliest thing I've ever seen

Tina: Well, at least we have a secret weapon - your mouth!
Wally: I think you two should make like the sloth a little - and relax.
Catrina: Oh, listen to Mr. Peacemaker. If I recall, Smiley, you and
Sarge went a round or two just last week.
Jose: !Silencio! Onward troops!
