Quotes

Mother

Edit
  • Beatrice Henderson: I love you.

  • Carl: Maybe you shouldn't get married anymore.
  • John Henderson: I want kids.
  • Carl: Well, adopt.

  • Carl: Masturbate in the garden.
  • John Henderson: [upon eating very old orange sherbet] Blaaah! Oh God, this is horribly old! This tastes like an orange foot!
  • John Henderson: I like my cheese in the ounces. When they start weighing as much as a Fiat, I get worried.
  • John Henderson: You're running a food museum here.
  • Lawyer: Now this being your second divorce, Mr. Henderson, I'm sure you're familiar with the procedure, but your wife, uh... ex-wife, should know it would be wise not to leave the state for a few weeks until it's finalized.
  • Karen Henderson: I'm not planning to leave the state.
  • John Henderson: No. She just left me. She had nothing against the land.
  • John Henderson: Stop. No more food. It's like FANTASIA.
  • Beatrice Henderson: We're not intimate dear. We just have sex occasionally.
  • John Henderson: I know why she hates me! I know why she hates me! I know why she hates me!
  • Beatrice Henderson: I'm sorry, John. I wasn't listening.
  • John Henderson: We're in the 90s, mother. It's fancy jam time.
  • Soundtrack: And here's to you, Mrs. Henderson. Your grown son is moving back today. Hey, hey, hey. God help him please, Mrs. Henderson. He looks to you to help him with his life. He lost a wife - again.
  • Beatrice Henderson: Look under the protective ice.
  • Beatrice Henderson: He's not that famous a writer that he can afford to go nuts.
  • John Henderson: Boy, you MUST be upset. Look, we're actually using the living room.
