Hamtaro: (thinking) There goes Laura off to her new school. It's tough moving to a new place. I hope she can make some new friends right away. I wouldn't want her to be lonely. The only thing worse would be if she was lonely and hungry, especially the hungry part!
Oxnard: I can't scamper one more step!
Boss: It's settled. I'm gonna turn this place into a hideaway.
Howdy: It'll be the best little clubhouse in the west. Dexter: And I could devise a club motto in Latin.
Hamtaro: Wait a minute. Wasn't I supposed to do something important this morning? Boss: March, soldier. No slackin' off now.
Boss: What am I gonna do with you? Hey, I know. I'm gonna call you Snoozer, little fella.
Laura: We had a great time today. And I bet tomorrow will be even more fun, Hamtaro.
Howdy: (to Pashmina) I got something for ya' here, gorgeous. Dexter: How typical, trying to bribe her with your sunflower seed.
Howdy: I should be on TV! (laughs) Dexter: Laughing at your own jokes, huh Howdy?
Boss: You shoulda seen that cat's face when he missed and fell - splat! - straight into the river.
Dexter: I live with a family who are optometrists. They make eyeglasses. Hamtaro: I want some "galoshes." Then I can learn how to read. Yeah!
Oxnard: Hi, I'm Oxnard. I like sunflower seeds.
Howdy: This place could sure use some sweepin'. Dexter: Yeah. I'd call it an underground trash heap. Penelope: Ookyoo! Ookyoo!
Snoozer: I'm not sleeping. I'm just saving energy while I think of some ideas.
Hamtaro: This hamster's off to school! I wonder where school is.
Laura's Mom: You'll be the best looking girl getting a detention for being late.
Boss: (regarding his ham-ham friends) Bet they're sleepin. Those guys are slackers. They should learn something from me. Hamtaro and Oxnard: What guys are? Howdy: Us "geyser!" Geyser, geyser. Blowing off steam! (laughs)
Boss: If you wanna be as fit as I am, you gotta work on shapin' up.
Viewers learn that Howdy and Dexter are archrivals in this episode and both fight over their love for Pashmina. Also in the love department, viewers find out that Laura likes Travis.
It is interesting to note that "Ukyou," the Japanese version of Penelope's favorite phrase, is a Japanese girl's name. Whether there's actually a connection is unclear, since Penelope is called "Chibimaru" in the Japanese version.
First appearances of Howdy, Pashmina, Penelope and Dexter. Snoozer as well, if you go by the original episode order.
Samuel Vincent is using nearly the voice he applied for Double-D from the cartoon show Ed, Edd n' Eddy as the voice of Dexter. This voice is also a close match to his character Hare from Monster Rancher.
