Harold:
Vegetable man? Vegetable gentleman?
Insurance Salesman: Do you know a man by the name of LaFong? Carl LaFong? Capital L, small a, Capital F, small o, small n, small g. LaFong. Carl LaFong.
Harold: No, I don't know Carl LaFong - capital L, small a, capital F, small o, small n, small g. And if I did know Carl LaFong, I wouldn't admit it!
[Harold has slipped on a skate]
Norman: Ha ha. Do it again, Pop.
Harold: Shut up!
Amelia: Hurt yourself, Dear?
Harold: Shut... Umm no, Dear.
Amelia: Now look what you've done!
Harold: She ran right in front of the car!
Amelia: It's a statue, you idiot.
Amelia: Seems pretty strange someone would call you from a maternity hospital in the middle of the night.
Harold: They didn't call me from a maternity hospital. They called thinking this was the maternity hospital.
Amelia: Wake up and go to sleep!
Harold: Ah, crackers. Good old crackers. That was a smart thing of me to bring those crackers along, wasn't it?
Harold: Sufferin' sciatica!
Norman: Hey Pop, who ya think is dying?
Harold: Dying what?
Norman: Uncle Bean is dying!
Harold: Well you don't have to spit in my eye do ya?
Mother: Just use your own judgment.
Daughter: You tell me where to go.
Harold: [muttering] I'd like to tell you both where to go.
Insurance Salesman: If you should live to be 100...
[Harold chases him off the deck]
Harold: And suppose I live to be 200, I'll get a velocipede!
Harry Payne Bosterly: You're drunk!
Harold: And you're crazy. But I'll be sober tomorrow and you'll be crazy for the rest of your life.
Harold: You all gotta remember one thing: that I
[quietly]
Harold: am the boss in this house.
Everett: I told him I wouldn't do it if I was him.
Harold: You told him you wouldn't do it if you was him. Get him outta here!
[Harold ripped a pillow playing with the dog]
Amelia: Those were my mother's feathers!
Harold: Never knew your mother had feathers.
Harold: This sun dial is ten minutes slow.
Amelia: Yes, the sun is wrong but your watch is right, of course.
Insurance Salesman: How old are you?
Harold: None of your business.
Insurance Salesman: I'd say you were a man about 50.
Harold: You would say that.
Amelia: Harold!
Harold: Don't argue with them, dear, they're beneath our dignity.
Amelia: Why were you sitting there like a stone image when those men were insulting me?
Harold: I was just waiting for one of 'em to say something to me.
Mrs. Dunk: What do you have in the way of steaks?
Harold: Nothing in the way of steaks, I can get right to them.
[at breakfast, Norman takes the plate of bacon before Harold can get it]
Harold: Hey, put it down!
Norman: What's the matter, Pop? Don'tcha love me anymore?
Harold: [he raises his hand to hit Norman] Certainly I love you.
Amelia: Don't you strike that child!
Harold: Well, he's not gonna tell me I don't love him.
Fitchmueller: Kumquats!
