Quotes 

• Sharon : You're not Janice!

  [Evil Chameleon smiles sinisterly] 

  Sharon : Who are you?

  Evil Chameleon : [sarcastically]  It's me. I'm Janice. Don't you recognize me?

  [reveals herself as the Evil Chameleon] 

  Sharon : You're the chameleon!

  Evil Chameleon : There is nothing you can do. There are thousands of us out here. More of us are changing everyday.

• Evil Chameleon : [Addressing fellow chameleons as she heads back to the well late at night]  Oh, I'm sorry I had to do that. But I knew you would find the bucket.

  [Then she notices the real Janice who was transformed back into the chameleon's body] 

  Evil Chameleon : Oh, I see we left our little friend down there. I hope she knows how to swim.

  [laughs maniacally] 

• Mr. Robinson : Sorry, I couldn't wait.

  Sharon : Did you show your mom the rash?

  Mrs. Robinson : What rash?

  Evil Chameleon : [In the guise of Janice Robinson]  Oh, I thought I had something but it's gone now.

  Mrs. Robinson : Well, keep an eye on it.

• Evil Chameleon : [In the guise of Janice Robinson]  You know, Mom. I think you were right.

  Mrs. Robinson : About what?

  Evil Chameleon : [In the guise of Janice Robinson]  Well, dying my hair blue is dumb and I don't thnk I'm ready to wear a dress like that. It's a little too old for me.

  Mrs. Robinson : Great! Why the change of heart?

  Evil Chameleon : [In the guise of Janice Robinson]  Well, I decided it wasn't worth fighting over something so dumb.

  Sharon : Are you feeling okay?

  Evil Chameleon : [In the guise of Janice Robinson]  Sure. I'll call the dress shop right now and have them take it off hold.

  Mr. Robinson : [to Mrs. Robinson]  See? I told you it was just a phase.

  Evil Chameleon : [In the guise of Janice Robinson to Mr. and Mrs. Robinson]  You know, you should really get going. You know how crazy it gets at the flower depot. We'll clean up.

  Evil Chameleon : [On the phone]  Hello? This is Janice Robinson. I'd like to place an order. Yes, I'll hold.

• Evil Chameleon : [In the guise of Janice Robinson]  Will you help me?

  Sharon : Sure. What's going on?

  Evil Chameleon : [In the guise of Janice Robinson]  Nothing. I did what you said. I got some sleep and everything just felt like it was a bad dream but that's all changed now.

  Sharon : [to "Janice" who is really the Evil Chameleon as she was trying to kill the real Janice who was transformed into a chameleon with a frying pan]  What are you doing?

  Evil Chameleon : [In the guise of Janice Robinson]  Uh, I saw a mouse. I hate mice. Oh, um, Dad has a box of traps. I think we should put them around the house.

  Sharon : Jan, are you sure we should do this?

  Evil Chameleon : [In the guise of Janice Robinson when the doorbell rings]  I'll get it!

  [Goes to answer the door and gives the delivery man a dollar tip, taking the box from him] 

  Evil Chameleon : Thank you.

  Delivery Man : You're welcome.

  Sharon : You bought the dress after all, didn't you?

  Evil Chameleon : [In the guise of Janice Robinson]  No, I didn't! Oh and don't forget to put a trap in the kitchen.

  Sharon : Then what is it?

  Evil Chameleon : [In the guise of Janice Robinson]  Nothing!

• Evil Chameleon : Sharon? Sharon, are you up there?

  [switches back to guise of Janice when Mr. and Mrs. Robinson enter] 

  Mr. Robinson : Hi!

  Mrs. Robinson : Hi!

  Evil Chameleon : [In the guise of Janice Robinson]  Hi! That was quick.

  Mr. Robinson : Are you kidding? We bought out the whole store.

  Mrs. Robinson : And we bought something for you too.

  Evil Chameleon : [In the guise of Janice Robinson]  You did? What is it?

  Mrs. Robinson : Well, it's sort of an apology. We were both wrong and I know it's not the dress you wanted but I hope you like it anyway.

  Evil Chameleon : [In the guise of Janice Robinson]  Oh, it's beautiful! Oh, thank you, Mom. I like it better than the other one.

  [to Sharon as she comes downstairs] 

  Evil Chameleon : What were you doing?

  Sharon : I went to get my hairbrush

  Mr. Robinson : [to Evil Chameleon in the guise of "Janice"]  Why don't you go try on the dress? We're gonna make some health drinks.

  [to Sharon and Mrs. Robinson] 

  Mr. Robinson : Come on, ladies.

  Sharon : Mrs. Robinson, don't you think Janice has been acting a little...

  Evil Chameleon : [In the guise of Janice Robinson, wearing the new dress]  Ta-da!

  Mr. Robinson : Wow! You look fantastic!

  Mrs. Robinson : It's perfect!

  Evil Chameleon : [In the guise of Janice Robinson]  What do you think, Sharon? Is it me?

  Sharon : Yeah.

• Sharon : [to the Evil Chameleon when she rescues the real Janice who was transformed into a chameleon from the garbage disposal]  You change her back now!

  Evil Chameleon : [Threatens Sharon with a hatchet and comes closer to her]  Bite you once, bite you twice, a little water, pay the price! She won't bite me again!

  [Switches back to Janice and hides the hatchet when Mr. Robinson enters] 

  Mr. Robinson : Oh, come on, Jan, we need your opinion.

  Evil Chameleon : [In the guise of Janice Robinson]  I'll be right out, Dad.

  Evil Chameleon : [to Sharon when Mr. Robinson calls for Janice]  Go ahead and tell them. They'll think you're crazy.

• Evil Chameleon : [as she discovers Sharon about to dump the chameleons down the well and chases her away]  Stop! I won't let you hurt my family!

  Sharon : You're gonna get caught!

  Evil Chameleon : You think so? I think people are so dumb they won't find out until it's too late, Don't fight it, Sharon. Just put your hand in there and get it over with.

  [One of the chameleons bites her] 

  Evil Chameleon : Ouch!

  Sharon : Bites you once, bites you twice. You should have counted your family and a guest.

  Janice Robinson : [When she turns back to herself]  Quick grab the hose!

  Sharon : Now add water!

  Evil Chameleon : No!

  [Then, she and Janice spin around in circles] 

  Janice Robinson : It's me, Sharon!

  Evil Chameleon : No, it's me!

  Janice Robinson : I'm your best friend!

  Evil Chameleon : I'm the one who knows your parents, Bob and Carol.

  Janice Robinson : That's right and they're in Hawaii.

  Sharon : Janice, I don't know which one is you.

  Janice Robinson : Don't spray me! I might turn back into the chameleon.

  Evil Chameleon : [Pretending to be Janice Robinson]  Wait! I can prove that I'm the real Janice.

  [Grabs the box and runs to the well] 

  Evil Chameleon : Only the real Janice would do this.

  [Dumps the chameleons into the well] 

  Janice Robinson : No, it's a trick!

  Evil Chameleon : [Pretending to be Janice Robinson]  It's really me, Sharon.

  Sharon : A little water, pay the price.

  [Mistakenly sprays the REAL Janice, who changes back to a chameleon] 

  Evil Chameleon : [In the guise of Janice Robinson, when Sharon sprays the wrong "chameleon"]  Kill it!

  Sharon : [after she throws the wrong chameleon down the well]  It's really you, isn't it?

  Evil Chameleon : [In the guise of Janice Robinson]  Yes! And can you please get me out of this creepy dress?

  Sharon : Welcome back, Jan!

  [They hug and leave the well] 

• Janice Robinson : [to herself as she is about to brush her teeth]  Don't be an idiot.

  [then she notices the shower running] 

  Evil Chameleon : I think I'm going to enjoy your life! Oh, I think I'm learning very fast!

  Janice Robinson : [as the Evil Chameleon pushes her into the shower which turns her into a chameleon and laughs maniacally]  No!

• Evil Chameleon : [to Janice after biting her a second time]  Well, it's almost over. But then again, it's really just beginning.

  Janice Robinson : What?
