Quotes[]
- Cody: Check out this book over here. Got all kinds of interesting facts just like that, about spies, double agents, dudes getting their arms amputated with NO anesthetic, just a shot of whiskey and maybe a bullet to bite on.
- Carol: Frank, Frank wake up, Frank!
- Frank: I'm sorry Mommy, it's not my magazine.
- Cody: History is not just a bunch of boring facts, it's about cool things that happened to real life people like us.
- Joe: Man that's bull, history is about guys like me, it's about a bunch of old people.
- Cody: No that's where you're wrong, dude, most of the people who fought in the Civil War were the same age as you guys.
- Rita: Cha, no way.
- Cody: Cha, way!
- Dana: Cody's right, in fact, thousands of soldiers who died in the Civil War were under the age of 18.
- Rita: Really?
- Danny: You know what, Codeman, you're actually making history okay.
- Cody: Dude you think this is fun, just wait till I fire off this authentic Civil War cannon. Ready, aim, booyah!
