Quotes 

  • Ronnie Neary : Alright, everybody to bed!

    Toby Neary : No way! Dad said we could finish watching "The Ten Commandments"!

    Ronnie Neary : Roy, that movie is four hours long.

    Roy Neary : I told them they could watch only five commandments.

  • Roy Neary : [checking the paper]  Hey, you know what's playing in town? "Pinocchio"! You guys have never seen "Pinocchio". You guys have never seen "Pinocchio", you're in luck!

    Brad Neary : Aw, who wants to see some dumb cartoon rated 'G' for kids?

    Roy Neary : How old are you?

    Brad Neary : Eight.

    Roy Neary : You wanna be nine?

    Brad Neary : Yeah.

    Roy Neary : Then you're going to go see Pinocchio tomorrow night.

    [Brad makes a disgusted gesture, but shuts up] 

    Ronnie Neary : Roy, that is a wonderful way to win over your children.

    Roy Neary : I'm not serious, I'm just saying that I grew up with "Pinocchio", and if kids are still kids, they're going to eat it up.

    [Ronnie looks at him in disgust] 

    Roy Neary : Okay. Okay, I'm wrong. I'm wrong. I'm Wrong Roy, alright.

    [Yells at his youngest son, who is demolishing his sister's doll] 

    Roy Neary : Toby! You are close to death! Come out here!

    [Toby giggles, but obeys] 

    Roy Neary : Okay, now, I'm gonna give you your choice. I'm not gonna be biased in any way. Tomorrow night you can either play Goofy Golf, which means a lot of waiting and shoving and pushing and probably getting a zero or you can see "Pinocchio" - which is a lot of furry animals and magic and you'll have a wonderful time. Okay? Now, let's vote.

    Brad Neary , Toby Neary : Golf!

  • Ronnie Neary : Roy, what did it look like?

    Roy Neary : It was like an ice cream cone.

    Ronnie Neary : What flavor?

    Roy Neary : Orange. It was orange - and it wasn't like an ice cream cone. It was, it was more like a shell. You know, it was like this.

    Ronnie Neary : Like a taco? Was it like one of those Sara Lee, um, moon-shaped cookies? Those crescent cookies? Don't you think I'm taking this really well? I remember when we used to come to places like this just to look at each other... and snuggle.

  • Ronnie Neary : Hey! This is not your toy to play with every time I turn around!

  • Roy Neary : I saw something last night that I can't explain.

    Ronnie Neary : I saw something last night *I* can't explain.

    Roy Neary : I'm going out there again tonight, you know.

    Ronnie Neary : No, you're not.

    Roy Neary : Yes, I am.

    Ronnie Neary : No, you're not.

    Roy Neary : Yes, I am.

    Ronnie Neary : No, you're not.

  • Roy Neary : Wake up! Honey, Ronnie, wake up! You're not gonna believe what I saw! Ronnie?

    Ronnie Neary : [in bed sleeping]  No, don't! Not now.

    Roy Neary : No, no, listen! Ronnie, I never would have believed it! There was this - eh - in the cab there was this whole - it went - it was - there was a red whoosh!

  • Ronnie Neary : Roy, look, don't talk about this until you know what you're talking about, okay?

    Roy Neary : Ronnie, that's crazy. If I can't talk about it, then how will I know what's going on?

    Ronnie Neary : What?

  • Ronnie Neary : Let go of this fence. Come with me. Do you want me to hit you? Let go of that fence! Toby! Listen to me. Listen to me.

  • Roy Neary : You ever look at something crazy, and then see it another way and it's not?

    Ronnie Neary : No, I haven't.

  • Ronnie Neary : [to Toby]  Let go of this fence right now. You come with me. Do you want me to hit you? You let go of that fence!
