Quotes 

• Sam Krichinsky : Who's this? Who's this Jules Kaye?

  Jules Kaye : That's me, Dad. I changed my name.

  Izzy Kirk : Me too, I changed mine to Kirk. It's easier to say that Krichinsky. Kirk, it's better.

  Sam Krichinsky : Who said names are supposed to be easy to say? What are you, a candy bar? You got a name! Krichinsky! It's a name! Kaye. Kirk. Two cousins, different names. How can this be? How can this be a family? When the father's called Sam Krichinsky, his son is called Jules Kaye and his first cousin is called Izzy Kirk. This is a family, God damn it! Krichinsky is the name of the family!

• Jules Kaye : What kind of car is that?

  Michael Kaye : Crosley!

  Jules Kaye : And that one?

  Michael Kaye : Nash!

  Jules Kaye : Pret-ty good!

• Jules Kaye : He wets the bed. My dad wets the bed.

• Jules Kaye : When I was a little younger than you, I used to think the world was made up of big people and little people. And that's the way it would always stay. And then I always wondered why sinks were too high. You had to climb up to wash your face. Cupboards, too high. The hole in the toilet was too big. Nothing. Nothing was made for us. It's just a world of big people and little people. You never got any older and nobody ever died.

• Eva Krichinsky : How's the new job?

  Jules Kaye : It's good. I like it. It's interesting and it's challenging. I like it.

  Eva Krichinsky : Selling time. I never heard of such a thing.

  Jules Kaye : It's not just time, Ma. It's time for television commercials. Companies buy the time for television commercials, so they can sell their products.

  Eva Krichinsky : I hate commercials. But I like the one that the cigarette packs dance. I like that one.
