  • Brad Neary : I don't understand these fractions.

    Roy Neary : What's one third of sixty?

    Brad Neary : [bewildered]  That's a fraction, I don't understand them.

    Roy Neary : [using a model train as an object lesson]  Alright, let's say that this boxcar is sixty feet long, OK?, and one third of it is across this switch here, alright... And now another train is coming... Now, how far do you have to move this boxcar so that the other train doesn't smash it? Quickly Brad, there are thousands of lives at stake... Brad any answer...

    [CRASH] 

  • Brad Neary : He looks like a Fifty-Fifty Bar!

  • 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!
