Dialogue

Wallace: I wish you'll find this present a valuable addition to our modern lifestyle. They're techno-trousers, ex-NASA. Fantastic for walkies!
Wallace: [of the trapdoor that slid him out of bed onto the kitchen chair] Well, that went as well as could be expected, didn't it, right? Though I might have to make a small adjustment to the drop. A touch painful on reentry.
[Wallace has fallen into the techno-trousers and, thanks to Feathers McGraw controlling them, sent Wallace rampaging about town before returning him home to bed, tired]
Wallace: Oh, I'm tired. A good doze, that's all I need. Get me strength back. What a--What a shocking calam--calam--calamity--[falls asleep, snoring]
Wallace: [upon falling into the techno-trousers] It's the wrong trousers! The wrong trousers!
[Wallace sees controls on trousers missing]
Wallace: What have you done with the controls, Gromit?,
Wallace: Woah! It's The Wrong Trousers, Gromit, and they've gone wrong! Stop them, Gromit! Stop them! Help me! Gr-Gromit! The Trousers've gone Haywire! Get me out!!! Help!!!!!
Wallace: [as he goes flying around the room] Hang in there, Gromit! Everything's under control!
[last lines]
Wallace: Ha, all's well that ends well. That's what I say. Ooh, I do like a bit of gorgonzola!
