Quotes13

  • Gary: [yelling at the cat] What is this, huh? I come in down here to turn off one lousy circuit breaker, the next thing I know I'm in 1929. There's gangsters running around. They're trying to kill me. And don't think I don't know you're involved in this! I tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna turn this lamp off, do you hear me? I'm gonna turn this lamp off and when I turn it back on, I want to be in my own time. Do we understand each other?"
  • [Gary turns lamp off]
  • Cat: Meow.
  • [Gary turns lamp on and nothing has changed]
  • Cat: Purrrrr.
  • Gary: Well, that's just great!
  • [Gary keeps trying to stop a wedding]
  • F.B.I. Agent: You take one step into that church and you're going to jail.
  • Gary: For what?
  • F.B.I. Agent: For being pathetic.
  • Gary Hobson: Marissa, what do you say I make us both dinner?
  • Marissa Clark: Sure, why not.
  • [Spike barks]
  • Gary Hobson: The three of us.
  • [the cat meows]
  • Gary Hobson: All right, dinner for four.
  • Gary Hobson: Sometimes that's all a hero is, Chuck - the guy who's there.
  • Gary: Opportunity doesn't knock, it presents itself when you beat down the door.
  • Gary: Howzat?
  • Chuck: Why are we here? I hated college. Deadlines, term papers, cram study sessions, stupid touch football games, dorms, ugh, communal showers, toilets with no doors, waking up in the middle of the night, drunk, in the parking lot, naked.
  • Gary: I don't remember that.
  • Chuck: You know what? Since we have graduated, I do not even remotely miss anything about college.
  • [a pretty girl walks by and looks at them]
  • Chuck: I stand corrected.
  • Gary Hobson: Things have a way of working out in this life. One way or another, you usually get what you need. Those who need to be remembered, they get a moment; those who need to be heard, they get a voice. There's no way of knowing how it's all going to fall into place mind you, but trust me, it does. Justice may be blind, but that doesn't mean there's no one looking out for you.
  • Gary: I can baby-sit or whatever it is you do with an eight year old.
  • Marissa: Gary, you don't even like kids.
  • Gary: I do too like kids. From a distance, they're all right.
  • Gary: You know, sometimes when people get older, they lose a little faith.
  • Henry: But, if you lose it, can they get it back?
  • Gary: I'm working on it, kid.
  • Seller: Sun-Times! Get your Sun-Times here!
  • [Gary walks past]
  • Seller: Hey, Mister! Latest edition!
  • Gary: That's what you think kid.
  • Gary: Look, isn't there any way you can just stamp me as not crazy and let me get outta here?
  • Gary: Well that's because you always tell me that you don't wanna know what I know that I'm not supposed to know.
