I haven’t seen a beating like that since somebody stuck a banana in my pants and turned a monkey loose.

You’re not gonna fall for the banana in the tailpipe? It should be more natural, brother. It should flow out, like this - “Look, man, I ain’t fallin’ for no banana in my tailpipe!” See, that’s more natural for us.

I’m Chiquita Banana and I’ve come to say  
Bananas have to ripen in a cartain way.  
When they are flecked with brown and have a golden hue  
Bananas taste the best and are the best for you.

You can put them in a salad (your salad).  
You can put them in a pie–yie;  
Any way you wanna them,  
It’s impossible to beat them.

But… bananas like the climate of the very, very  
tropical Equa-a-a-ator  
So you should never put bananas… in the refrigerator.

John, I’m glad you called. Listen, I have Bobby the Baboon in lockup, and he says that for 20 bananas, he’ll provide evidence that John Chimpo is the pimp in charge of the Cartoon Network whorehouse

It may be the dawning of suspicion, but, the fact that the airplane is faster than the horse, does not necessarily prove that the world is getting any better.

What would they say about me? “He died in a place he didn’t need to be, in a battle over something he doesn’t understand, in a country that meant nothing to him.”

How did you ever get command of a ship? I realize in wartime they have to scrape the bottom of the barrel, but where did they ever scrape you up?

You know something? When I was studying law, and Mr. Keefer here was writing his stories, and you, Willie, were tearing up the playing fields of dear old Princeton, who was standing guard over this fat, dumb, happy country of ours, eh? Not us. Oh, no, we knew you couldn’t make any money in the service. So who did the dirty work for us? QUEEG did! And a lot of other guys - tough, sharp guys, who didn’t crack up like Queeg.

Queequeg, such behavior isn’t Christian. In fact, it’s downright pagan and heathenish.
