Holly : [singing] When things go wrong, and life's no song, and you're flat on your back, that doesn't mean you have to lie there: be a jumping jack!
Buttons : [singing] Keep on the hop, and if you flop, and everything looks black, stand on your head and holler "hi there!" Be a jumping jack!
Holly : When things go up, they must come down, and also visa verse. If things look bad, don't fret and frown - they could be ten times worse!
Buttons : Your train of luck, it may get stuck if something's on the track; give a good jump and you'll get by there...

[while Sebastian was speaking, romantically to Holly, Ruth, an elephant, was directed by Angel to pick up and take Holly away, from Sebastian, to Brad]
Sebastian : [Sebastian, speaking French] Qu'est-ce qu'al y a?
Holly : Let me go. Sebastian.
Angel : Never try to take anything from an elephant.
Holly : Sebastian, do something!
Sebastian : A lion I fight for you, a tiger! But the red-headed wildcat with an elephant, no.
[then he chuckled, with a big grin]
Holly : You make this two-tailed jackass put me down.
[Ruth, being guided by Angel, took Holly to Brad Braden, then let go of her, in front of Brad]
