Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now! Quotes

How we cite our quotes: (Line)

Quote #1

The time has come. / The time is now. (4-5)

Take a look at the drawing accompanying those lines. Just tell us the closed eyes, upturned chin, and hands-in-pocket body language don't scream pride.

Quote #2

You can go / on a Zike-Bike / if you like. (28-30)

You'd have to be pretty proud to turn down a chance to go zike-biking (or half the other cool stuff the Narrator suggests).

Quote #3

Marvin K. Mooney, / will you please / GO NOW! (38-40)

Notice how both the Narrator and Marvin K. enlarge within the drawing accompanying these lines. It increases the intensity of both the Narrator's determination and Marvin K's pride.

Quote #4

You might like going / in a Zumble-Zay. (57-58)

For us, this mode of transportation seems to try to sell itself to Marvin K.'s pride. Is there any more elaborate way to travel? An armada of giant robot bees, maybe.

Quote #5

I said / GO / and / GO / I meant… (82-86)

For the first time, Marvin's proud body language seems to break in the illustrations. Also, notice how small Marvin got in the picture next to these lines. It has a very different feel than the other pictures.
