Added DiffLines:

* When Darwin sneaks into Eliza's bag and she has to hide him from the other friend. Several close calls of him nearly being discovered.
** Darwin shows up in the cafeteria DisguisedInDrag. Adding onto this is "[[Music/TomJones She's a Lady]]" playing in the background.
** His cover is eventually blown when he accidentally starts a food fight in the lunch room. He is therefore forced to be left in the horse's barn.
-->'''Darwin''': Where's the bathroom?\\
'''Thunder''': You're ''standing on it!''\\
''(view to Darwin's feet sinking in horse manure)''\\
'''Darwin''': AAAAH!!!!
* How Debbie ends her parents’ phone conversation with Eliza while she’s at Boarding School.
--> '''Marianne''': Now, try to have fun with your new friends, okay?\\
'''Debbie''': She's making FRIENDS?! Give me that! ''[takes the phone]'' Hi. Here's what's going on with ''my'' life. [[ItMakesSenseInContext Donnie's now half goat, my hair is half terrier]], and we're heading into the abyss, where there is no hope of teen interaction. Goodbye. ''[hangs up the phone, cut to Nigel and Marianne tied up by the phone cord after Debbie was walking around them]''\\
'''Marianne''': ''[stammering]'' Debbie!
* Grandmumsy Cordelia and Grandpa Ratcliff report to Debbie that Eliza escaped from boarding school. Debbie's response?
-->'''Debbie''': Excuse me? Uh, did you just say [[ComicallyMissingThePoint THE MONKEY GOT TO GO TO LONDON?!]]
** It's especially funny since Debbie has been wanting to go to London herself.
* "Excuse me while I go find a container for my joy."
* When Debbie runs into a Mbuti community, who send Boko as her guide. While Debbie tries to tell Boko he can't come, Boko notices a ''large snake approaching her'', and ''fights it'', while Debbie, ''utterly oblivious'', babbles on and on as Boko continues fighting the snake, then tosses it aside.
* This gem as Nigel and Marianne leave Debbie with Donnie.
-->'''Nigel''': We'll be gone until after the eclipse. Will you be all right with Donnie?\\
'''Debbie''': [[SarcasmMode Are you kidding? This'll be the highlight of my young life!]]\\
'''Nigel''': [[SarcasmBlind That's the spirit, poodles!]]\\
'''Debbie''': [[LampshadeHanging Dad, have you completely lost your ability to recognize sarcasm]]?\\
'''Nigel''': [[SelfDeprecation I'm not sure I ever had it, Deborah]].
* Debbie's reaction when Eliza explains her powers to her [[spoiler:after losing them to save her]]--at first, we're led to think that she doesn't believe her, only for Debbie to reveal that she suspected it all along and then demand that Eliza relay a message to Darwin.
** Also, the reaction Debbie has when Eliza gets her powers back.
-->'''Debbie''': ''(Flipping through a fashion magazine)'' I don't know how I'm going to keep this secret of yours.
-->'''Eliza''': Well, you have to. I kind of agreed to a condition when I got my powers back.
-->'''Debbie''': ''(Not looking up from her magazine)'' Uh-huh?
-->'''Eliza''': You can never tell anyone my secret because if you do...
-->'''Debbie''': Yeah?
-->'''Eliza''': You'll turn into a baboon. ''(Runs away)''
-->'''Debbie''': ''(Beat)'' A BABOON?!!
-->'''Nigel''': (''to the camera as Marianne films him among a troop of baboons'') The peacefulness of this congregation belies the true nature of--
-->'''Debbie''': I AM NOT GOING TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE WITH A BIG PURPLE BUTT!!!!
