Dialogue

[first lines]
Wallace: Eeh, these bank holidays. It's a problem to decide. Tell you what, Gromit lad!
[Gromit wakes up]
Wallace: Let's have a nice hot cup of tea, hm? [walks out of the room] Kettle should have boiled by now.
Wallace: No cheese, Gromit. Not a bit in the house.
Wallace: Gromit, that's it! Cheese! We'll go somewhere where there's cheese!
[Wallace looks at "Cheese Holidays" magazine, then out window]
Wallace: Everybody knows the moon is made of cheese...
Wallace: 60 seconds to blast off! Unlock the doors!
Wallace: No crackers Gromit! We've forgotten the crackers!
Wallace: [referring to "The Cooker"] Oh! Daylight robbery! They always nick your money. Flippin' machines. Come on, Gromit.
[The machine doesn't work]
Wallace: Come on, stupid...
[The machine still doesn't work]
Wallace: [stunned slightly] Oh!
[Wallace is eating the moon]
Wallace: It's like no cheese I've ever tasted. Let's try another spot.
Wallace: Oh no! Oh! The fuse! You forgot to light the fuse! Ah!
