Patsy: (sobbing) I never thought my Lazlo could be...an alien! (edit)
(The masked Squirrel scouts have just tied up the Jelly beans)
Raj: Who-who are you?
Clam: Wh-what d'ya want?
Lazlo: (Sniffs) And why do you smell so nice?
Patsy: (Giggles) (edit)
Lazlo: (Lazlo opens the monster’s mouth) Scoutmaster Lumpus, do you need our help? Because you asked us not to help you.
Lumpus: (sarcastically) Oh, no. I’m just waiting for the lake monster to chew me up. Don’t you worry about me. What makes you think I would ever need your…
Lazlo: Okay, then.
Lumpus: Lazlo? Lazlo! (Lazlo opens the monster’s mouth again) Actually, I do need your help. And look, I caught a fish!
Lazlo: Wow! Look, guys, we caught a fish! (edit)
Lazlo: Isn't this great?
Lumpus: (sarcastically) Oh, great! Lovely!
Lazlo: I'm sorry we sunk your fancy boat, and mistook you for a lake monster, but you gotta understand. We were just trying the help you catch a fish.
Lumpus: Help me? Help me?? You really want to help me?
Lazlo, Raj, and Clam: Yes.
Lumpus: Help me catch a fish?
Lazlo, Raj, and Clam: Yes.
Lumpus: The only way you three bozos can help me catch a fish is to get as far away from me as possible and not help me at all!! (edit)
Lazlo: The patient's eyes are googly again! (edit)

Trivia

add »
Lumpus having glasses may be a reference to the fact that the normal Moose has very poor eyesight. Many will try to mate with cars on a regular basis (Thinking the car is another Moose). (edit)
The stuffed "patient" that the Jelly Beans operate on would be seen again falling from Mrs. Mucus's trailer in the episode "Beans in Toyland". (edit)
The totem pole in the Jelly Bean cabin has a monkey, an elephant, and a rhino in order going down. (edit)
When the beans were in the mess hall during first aid training, Lumpus looks at Sampson and the Loons and says they are the Kidney Beans, but in later episodes they are known of the Fava beans. (edit)
When we see Gretchen for the last time, she has no sleeves. (edit)

Camp Lazlo: Bingo

The opening transition of Camp Lazlo is absed on the song about a dog called Bingo. (edit)
The scoutmaster of Camp Kidney has similarities to Squidward from Spongebob Squarepants. (edit)

"Above average"
Gone Fishin' (sort of) wasnt my favourite storyline mainly because the episode revealed Lazlo to be an idiot. However, Beans are from Mars was superb.
