Chowder: I ran out of ink!

(Mung Daal had attempted to throw some food at Ms. Endive, but failed)
Endive: Ha! You throw like an old woman!
Truffles: That is not true! I throw much better than he does!

Chowder: The Taste Of Marzipan Festival is so exciting!
Mung: This will be my three hundred and eleventh time representing...
Kapusta: Mung Daal!
Mung: Kapusta! It's good to see you again!
(The two of them hug one another)
Kapusta: Oh, Mung, I've missed you so, so, so, so, so, so much. So, what amazing dish have you got planned for this year's festival?
Mung: Oh, it's a surprise. But I can tell you this: it's gonna knock your pants off!
Kapusta: (sadly) I had to sell my pants to afford this nice hat.
Mung: (nervously) Uh, yeah, it's a nice hat. Well, be seeing ya'.
(Chowder and Mung Daal walk off)
Mung: (to Chowder) Why didn't you tell me he wasn't wearing any pants? edit »
Mung: That was fantastic, Gazpacho!
Gazpacho: Thank you, Mung.
Mung: You know what I liked best about your act? It was in good taste!
Truffles: Ugh, I've had enough.
Gazpacho: (to Chowder) They totally loved me tonight!
Chowder: You were great!
(Gazpacho gives Chowder the Comedy Gold book)
Gazpacho: Here. Now that I've mastered comedy, I don't really need it anymore. Besides, I feel my true calling is ice-dancing. Well, I gotta go. Mother's waiting.
Chowder: I hope she's not mad at you.
Gazpacho: She usually is, but not tonight! She even ordered me a cake!
(The scene changes to show the meanie cake blowing raspberries) edit »
Mung: Now, we have to write something on top.
Chowder: Something nice?
Mung: Chowder, this is a meanie cream cake.
Chowder: Oh, I get it. Can I write something?
(Chowder talks as he writes)
Chowder: Dear smelly. You smell really bad. P.S. You're stinky. There.
Meanie Cake: You call that handwriting?! My crumbs make more sense than that!
Chowder: (sadly) Why you gotta be so mean?
Mung: Well, he is a meanie cake.
Chowder: True 'dat. edit »
Truffles: (to Gazpacho) You! Be funny! edit »

Kapusta is the Russian, Polish, and Slovak word for cabbage, is a popular dish in Polish cooking and Slovak cooking. Its primary ingredient has been pickled into sauerkraut and, in some places, kapusta simply refers to this plain sauerkraut. But in many other homes, this base is frequently amplified with a mix of mushrooms and onions, and that is what is meant by the term kapusta. Some cooks also add meat (usually pork, either rib meat or bacon), resulting in what is often called bigos. edit »
Name: Grenapes

They are a reference to grapes and grenades. edit »
Gazpacho: Uhhh, that one doesn't come off.

He's referring to the Cartoon Network screenbug that appears throughout each show. edit »
