• George Henderson Sr. : I wanted King Kong, you brought me a goddamn giant gerbil. I told you exactly what to do. You didn't even come close.

  George Henderson : Maybe it's right on the nose. Maybe it's not vicious at all, Maybe it's gentle and has feelings.

  George Henderson Sr. : Where'd you dream up that shit?

• [George's father had changed George's kind drawing of Harry to make Harry look like a vicious monster] 

  George Henderson Sr. : See? You're not the only artist in the family. How's that for an arthritic old shooter, huh?

  George Henderson : What the hell did you do that for? It's my drawing! Why'd you change it?

  George Henderson Sr. : Cool down, George, it's just a piece of cardboard.

  George Henderson : Not to me. It means something to me! Can't you see that he means something to me?

  George Henderson Sr. : What the hell are you talking about?

  George Henderson : The hell with it! I quit!

  [Storms out] 

  George Henderson Sr. : Over this? You can't quit! We're too busy! Hey, what the hell's the matter with you?
