Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee
- [to a New York driver] Get on the right side of the road you pelican!
- No wonder you have so many accidents around here, the steering wheels on the wrong side of the car!
- [sings in the bathtub] If I give my heart to you... [pause] then I'll have none and you'll have two.
- [singing] Up North in the Never-Never / Where the land is harsh and bare / Lives a mighty hunter named Mick Dundee /Who can dance like Fred Astaire!
- Well, you see, Aborigines don't own the land.They belong to it. It's like their mother. See those rocks? Been standing there for 600 million years. Still be there when you and I are gone. So arguing over who owns them is like two fleas arguing over who owns the dog they live on.
- It's for washing your backside, right?
- [honks horn and yells to water buffalo] "Get out of the way dopey!"

- Richard Mason: New York City, Mr. Dundee. Home to seven million people.
- Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee: That's incredible. Imagine seven million people all wanting to live together. Yeah, New York must be the friendliest place on earth.
- Neville Bell: Oh no, you can't take my photograph.
- Sue Charlton: Oh, I'm sorry, you believe it will take your spirit away.
