The Quest (1986)

John Ewart: Ricketts

Quotes 

• Ricketts : Son, every time that brain of yours starts punching out data, public property is in danger, women cry and dogs bark.

• Ricketts : And where are they?

  Cody : Where are who?

  Ricketts : The people from the Guinness Book of Records. There must be some kind of prize for raging idiocy.

• Ricketts : You wanna keep the kid. The kid wants to keep you. But if he gets killed, well those welfare people aren't going to give you permanent custody are they.

• Ricketts : The point is it's against the law, Gaz.

  Gaza : What? To do what you and I were doing when we were kids.

  Ricketts : Ah, yeah, but you and I didn't make railway bikes and gyrocopters.

  Gaza : Only because we weren't smart enough.
