MR. POTATO HEAD: Of course Woody ain't worried! He's been Andy's favorite since kindergarten!
SLINKY: Hey, hey, come on, Potato Head! If Woody says it's all right, then, well, darn it, it's good enough for me. Woody has never steered us wrong before.
WOODY: Come on, guys! Every Christmas and birthday we go through this.
REX: But what if Andy gets another dinosaur? A mean one? I just don't think I can take that kind of rejection.
WOODY: Hey, listen, no one's getting replaced. This is Andy we're talking about. It doesn't matter how much we're played with. What matters is that we're here for Andy when he needs us. That's what we're made for, right?
