Quotes 

• Scott Heyward : You know something, Pa? I would have traded everything you've ever given me for one thing - for trust in me.

  Duster Heyward : Well, what are you talkin', son? I've always trusted ya. I was just tryin' to make things easy is all.

  Scott Heyward : That's just it, Pa. I don't want things easy. I want to be able to make my own mistakes and work 'em out.

• Duster Heyward : Now you tell me you're gonna go out in this boat tomorrow win, lose or draw. If this thing hangs together that you've gone ahead and proved somethin'?

  Scott Heyward : That's right!

  Duster Heyward : Then let me tell you, boy, whether you do or whether you don't, I want you to know that I'm as proud of you as any father who's ever set foot on this here God's green earth.

• Tom Wilson : You just said the magic word.

  Scott Heyward : Clambake?

  Tom Wilson : Yeah!

• Scott Heyward : [he is driving fast down the road in his sports-car, Dianne is sitting next to him]  Dianne, I have a confession to make.

  Dianne Carter : About what?

  Scott Heyward : [he has been pretending to be poor Tom Wilson, when he is really Scott Heyward, a multi-millionaire]  About my family.

  Dianne Carter : But I'm marrying you, not your family.

  Scott Heyward : [points to a large oil field]  You see that oil field over there? I was given one 10 times that size on my 21st birthday.

  Dianne Carter : [disbelieving]  Ten times? Oh.

  Scott Heyward : [pointing to the ocean]  You see that yacht? I was given one just like it on my last birthday.

  Dianne Carter : Do you know what I think? I think driving Scott's car is giving you delusions.

  Scott Heyward : That's what I'm trying to tell you.

  Dianne Carter : What?

  Scott Heyward : That's who I am.

  Dianne Carter : Who?

  Scott Heyward : *I'm* Scott Heyward.

  Dianne Carter : [facetiously]  Oh, and I'm *Hortense Fiegledopper*.

  Scott Heyward : [shows her his driver's license]  Listen, will you please be serious? Look. See for yourself.

  Dianne Carter : [realizes he really IS Scott Heyward, the multi-millionaire; she swoons.]  Oh.

  Scott Heyward : Hey, Dianne? Dianne, you all right?

• James J. Jamison III : Hey, you know something? You really have lousy timing. Of course, born losers usually do.

  Scott Heyward : Now look, if you're talking about the race...

  James J. Jamison III : I'm talking about you sticking your nose in where it doesn't concern you. I hope you know how to take care of yourself. I call... karate!

  Scott Heyward : Oh, shut up!

  [Scott belts James with a Kid Galahad K.O. punch that knocks him over the sofa and out cold] 

• Scott Heyward : Will you check by the desk and see if that package arrived yet?

  Tom Wilson : First thing. If it's here I'll send it to you toot sweet. That's French for pronto.

• Scott Heyward : [on his car phone]  Ellie? How'd you find me?

  Ellie : Well, I've only been trying every mobile operator south of the Mason-Dixon line.

• 'Tom Wilson' : [singing]  I'm on the right track for lots of kissin', So that old greenback, I won't be missin', All the greatest things in life are free...

• Tom Wilson : I'm double-dating with a fellow millionaire, name of Jamison. Maybe you know him. He's in jammies.

  Scott Heyward : He's in what?

  Tom Wilson : Jammies! Well, you know, those little things that girls wear that are supposed to be nightgowns. He's in 'em!

  Scott Heyward : He wears 'em?

  Tom Wilson : No, he only makes 'em.

  Scott Heyward : The jammies?

  Tom Wilson : Eh, yeah.

• 'Tom Wilson' : They tell me if you look deep enough into a fire, you can sometimes see into the future.

  Dianne Carter : Well, what do you see?

  'Tom Wilson' : [singing]  I can see you now, Living like a Queen...

• 'Tom Wilson' : Are you all right?

  Dianne Carter : No. Turn around.

  'Tom Wilson' : What's the matter?

  Dianne Carter : I lost my top!

  'Tom Wilson' : Oh, good timing. Jamison's swimming over here.

• Scott Heyward : [singing]  When everyone thought the world was flat, Columbus said "It's round", He went down in history, And America was found...

• 'Tom Wilson' : Alright everybody, get 'em while they're hot. Lobsters, clams, chicken, shrimp.

  'Scott Heyward' : And bikinis, too.

  'Tom Wilson' : [singing]  Clambake, Gonna have a clambake, Clambake, Gonna have a clambake, Mamma's little baby loves clambake, clambake...

• Sam : I ran into that friend of yours at the hotel. He told me you were waiting for that package.

  'Tom Wilson' : Oh, thanks.

  Sam : He would have brought it over himself but he kind of had his hands full. I think one was a Sally and the other was a Ginger.

• 'Tom Wilson' : [singing]  Well, line up girls, I'll show you what to do...

• Scott Heyward : [singing]  Anyone could tell, You think you know me well, But you don't know me...

• Scott Heyward : I don't want things easy! I wanna be able to make mistakes and work' em out - before you push the panic button, like at the plant.

  Duster Heyward : Well now, I'm gettin' a little sick and tired of all this calf-bawlin' about panic button and trustin' and stuff like that there.
