Quotes 

  • Mrs. Marcus : [holding cactus plant]  Well, uh, where shall I put this?

    J. Russell Finch : [double take]  Oh, boy.

  • Emmeline Finch : Oh Russell, I feel sick.

    J. Russell Finch : Now take it easy honey, these things happen ya know.

    Mrs. Marcus : Now what kind of an attitude is that, "these things happen"? They only happen because this whole country is just full of people, who when these things happen, they just say "these things happen," and that's why they happen!

  • Mrs. Marcus : Now for the last time. Are we calling Sylvester or not?

    J. Russell Finch : No! We are not! And I'll tell you why not. Because your son Sylvester is an irresponsible, unreliable, big loudmouth no good bum! Who if he isn't a crook? It's because he doesn't have the brains or ambition even to become a crook!

    J. Algernon Hawthorne : I say: *Good show*!

  • Mrs. Marcus : [holding a planter containing several cactus]  Well, where should I put this?

    J. Russell Finch : [scoffing]  Oh, boy.

  • Sylvester Marcus : [speaking into the phone]  Mama, who's with you? Where are you talking to me... Where are you?

    Mrs. Marcus : [speaking into the phone]  I'm with this truck driver at Peterson's garage in a place called Plaster City. And will you just shut up a minute so I can tell you what happened!

    Sylvester Marcus : [speaking into the phone]  Now listen, Mommy, you listen to me close. You stay right there, because I'm coming, Mom. I'm coming to get you right now, Mom.

    Mrs. Marcus : [speaking into the phone]  Will you *shut up and listen*?

    Sylvester Marcus : [speaking into the phone]  Mama, it's all right. Everything's gonna be all right, Mama. Your baby's coming to get ya. You just sit there. Sit there, relax, take it easy.

    Mrs. Marcus : [speaking into the phone]  Sylvester...

    Sylvester Marcus : [speaking into the phone]  I'm coming to get you, Mom!

    Mrs. Marcus : [speaking into the phone]  ... shut up and let me talk...

    Sylvester Marcus : [speaking into the phone interrupting his mother]  Everything is gonna be all right!

    [Sylvester hangs up] 

    Lennie Pike : [to Mrs. Marcus]  Well?

    Mrs. Marcus : So he's coming here. And I'm not to worry about a thing, because "everything is going to be all right!"

    Mrs. Marcus : [to Emmeline]  Exactly like your father: a big, stupid, muscle-headed moron!

  • Sylvester Marcus : [Benji and Dingy run by]  Who are they?

    Mrs. Marcus : I don't know.

    Sylvester Marcus : From this morning?

    Mrs. Marcus : Yes.

    Sylvester Marcus : [Captain Culpeper goes by]  Who is he?

    Mrs. Marcus : I don't know.

    Sylvester Marcus : [Otto Meyer runs by]  Who is he?

    Mrs. Marcus : I don't know.

    Sylvester Marcus : Mama, how many people are mixed up in this thing?

    Sylvester Marcus : [as the two cab drivers run by]  Who are they? Cabbies? Mama, this thing is like a convention.

  • Second Cab Driver : [about Culpeper as the two cabs are chasing him]  He's heading for the border. Let's stop and call the police station.

    Mrs. Marcus : You shut up! We're gonna get that money. Keep driving!

    Second Cab Driver : That woman is something else.

  • Ding Bell : Ah, this is hopeless. We're gonna get noplace if we're gonna continue listening to this old bag.

    Benjy Benjamin : What are you trying to do, lady? You trying to split us up so it becomes every man for himself?

    Ding Bell : ...And every woman for HIMself?

    Mrs. Marcus : One more funny remark from you, buster...

  • J. Algernon Hawthorne : Jolly nasty accident there. Jolly lucky nobody was hurt.

    Mrs. Marcus : Where did you get that funny accent? Are you from Harvard or something?

    J. Algernon Hawthorne : Harvard? Rather not. I'm English.

    Mrs. Marcus : Sounds so foreign.

    J. Algernon Hawthorne : Really?

  • Man in Car in Desert : Trouble? Having any trouble?

    Mrs. Marcus : Yes, and we don't need any help from you!

    Man in Car in Desert : [after a brief pause]  Well!

  • Mrs. Marcus : Sylvester!

    Sylvester Marcus : Mama!

    Mrs. Marcus : Why couldn't you listen? Why couldn't you shut up when I was trying to tell you to listen?

    J. Algernon Hawthorne : Have a care, that chap's run absolutely amok!

  • Lennie Pike : All right lady, are you gonna get out or am I gonna have to throw you out?

    Emmeline Finch : Oh please Mr. Pike, don't get upset.

    Mrs. Marcus : He's not gonna do anything! Drive on, ya big stupid idiot!

  • Mrs. Marcus : We're the ones with the Imperial, and we're running last?

  • Mrs. Marcus : "No matter what you've all done today, you're really not criminals". Ha! Of all the snooty, patronizing...

    Mrs. Marcus : [to Pike]  You're stepping on my foot!

    Sylvester Marcus : Would you get off Mama's foot?

  • Emmeline Finch : I'm only thinking of Russell's condition.

    Mrs. Marcus : You mean his financial condition, because that's the only condition that he has.

    J. Russell Finch : Yeah but...

    Mrs. Marcus : Emmeline, do you know why your husband had a nervous breakdown? It's because he has sunk forty thousand dollars, including fifteen thousand dollars of my money into a company that makes seaweed for people to eat.

    J. Russell Finch : Yeah but...

    Mrs. Marcus : And not only does nobody like it, but it costs over four dollars a can.

    J. Russell Finch : Yeah but...

    Mrs. Marcus : Yeah but *what*?

    J. Russell Finch : Well, most people like it and I like it, and I'm working hard trying to keep the cost down.

    Mrs. Marcus : Yeah you were working hard trying to keep the cost down the day that you ran out of your office and stood in the street screaming.

    Emmeline Finch : Mother!

    Mrs. Marcus : Oh Emmeline, shut up!

    [Russell starts to speak] 

    Mrs. Marcus : And you too!

  • Mrs. Marcus : You're overlooking one little thing.

    J. Russell Finch : Yeah, one little thing.

    Ding Bell : What little thing?

    J. Russell Finch : Yeah, what little thing?

    Mrs. Marcus : We can all count, can't we? There were eight of us there.

    J. Russell Finch : She's right. There were eigt of us there.

  • [last lines] 

    [Mrs. Marcus, Emmeline and Monica enter the hospital room where all the men are in traction, their entrance right after Benjy had thrown a banana peel on the floor] 

    Mrs. Marcus : [yelling]  Now see here, you idiots, it's all your fault, because if you hadn't...

    [Mrs. Marcus slips on the banana peel and falls back-first on the floor] 

    Sylvester Marcus : Mama!

    [all the hospitalized men, except Sylvester and Captain Culpeper, burst out laughing uproariously as Mrs. Marcus is put on a stretcher and taken away] 

    Mrs. Marcus : [yelling]  Don't you dare touch me! Get away from me! Let me go! Leave me alone...

    [Captain Culpeper joins the laughter] 

  • [first lines] 

    J. Russell Finch : [as all the cars pull over one by one, the men quickly jump out in shock at having just witnessed Smiler Grogan pass them recklessly fast, careen off the side of the hilly road, and terribly crash down below]  Whoa! Hey d-did ya see it, the way he went sailing right out there? D-d he just went *sailing* right out there.

    Melville Crump : It was terrible, I m-a-mean just terrible. He musta been doin' over eighty ya know.

    J. Russell Finch : An ambulance - we better, we oughta call an ambulance.

    Ding Bell : Oh... oh look at that car.

    J. Russell Finch : [the group starts bickering and talking over one another]  He went sailing right out there.

    Ding Bell : How 'bout you doin' ninety miles an hour?

    J. Russell Finch : I wasn't doin' - he was passin' me.

    Ding Bell : We weren't standin' still when he passed us...

    J. Russell Finch : I never saw such a crazy guy in my life!...

    Lennie Pike : Come on, let's get down there!

    [the group immediately starts scrambling down the rocky hill] 

    J. Russell Finch : [to Emmeline and Mrs. Marcus]  W... we're gonna go down there, you stay in the car.

    Emmeline Finch : Now Russell be careful, remember your condition.

    Mrs. Marcus : [gestures her hand with disdain]  Eh.

    J. Russell Finch : [to himself]  Ooh, boy the way he just *sailed* out there.

    [Finch follows down after the group] 

  • Mrs. Marcus : Nobody's gonna get *me* up in the air!

  • Lennie Pike : This is stupid. You call me a "stupid idiot?" Well, let me tell you something. You're a "stupid idiot!"

    Mrs. Marcus : But he'll go all the way to Plaster City.

    Lennie Pike : So he goes all the way to Plaster City. I don't know about you, but I'm turning this thing around. Now, you wanna catch him? You get out and run!
