"Lolly Lolly Lolly get your adverbs here ..."
I am surprised the Disney execs let you get away with not having a fully balanced set of English language constructions. I mean we got KIDS watching this show! What if they saw that their heroes never used adverbs and began to imitate them?
What if some impressionable chiild says to him/herself," If Ron never uses adverbs, I'm not going to either!

There was a scene where that one character said that thing to that guy with the thing. Yep... I was sorry to see that scene go. Gosh, you guys rock! I bet that the thing of that one person was really bothering that other person, so that person said the thing wasn't a good thing.

Now here are some things that really did get cut. I have this bad habit of over-describing things, which runs up the page count. So to get the page count back down, I would go through my scripts and take out the adverbs. Here are some of the cuts:
Quickly Dismissively Nonchalantly Angrily Frantically Casually Sarcastically Prohibitively Petulantly Tearfully Ruefully Wryly Incredibly Ecstatically
I'm happy to report, though, that I was able to keep most of the gerunds... You're not going to let the gerunds go are you? Oh, I am sorry I thought you side Gertrude!

I think he meant he cut all the adverbs out of the script. I.e-
Ron [dismissively]: Blahblahblah.
to:
Ron: Blahblahblah.
I could be wrong, though.
"Mommy, mommy, there's a thingamijig outside!" "What did it look like, dear?" "It was all 'woo' and colory and shapey. You know?"
