Michaelangelo: No, it's supposed to look like this! (shows the Warners his plans) Dot: Oh! More naked people! Yakko: I wouldn't go flashing that around, Mike. (whispers) This is a church!

Michaelangelo: Let me in...LET ME IN!! (Yakko opens a hole in the door, dressed as a Ozian guard) Yakko: Nobody gets in to see the wizard. Not no way, not no how! Michaelangelo: But I'm Michaelangelo! Yakko: The witch's Michaelangelo? Well, now that's a ceiling of a different color!
-
Yakko: We paint ceilings for 29.95! How do we do it? No overhead. In fact, if you hire us you'll have nothing overhead. And if you hired us there'll be nothing in your head. We paint ceilings, ceilings, and only ceilings! We don't paint floors, because they're beneath us.

Yakko: Wait a minute! You expect us poor innocent children to climb up dangerous scaffolding and paint naked people all over a church? We'll do it! But we're not doing it for the sake of art, and we're not doing it for the sake of money...No, we'll do it because...we like painting naked people!
-
