Quotes3

  • Max Roby: [to Miles] To tell you the truth, I would rather have a complete idiot for a child than an ingrate.
  • Max Roby: You're ready to come home?
  • Tick Roby: Can we?
  • Max Roby: Ask your father, not me. Old men don't get to vote. Old men gotta keep their mouth shut and do as they're told like they're stupid.
  • [about the growth on Horace's forehead]
  • Max Roby: You should have that thing removed.
  • Bea: Max.
  • Horace: What thing?
  • Max Roby: I'm always afraid it's going to explode when I'm talking to you. What would it cost you to have it cut off?
  • Horace: Don't know, never looked into it.
  • Max Roby: Oh, boy, I would have. If I had that thing growing out of my forehead, I'd had it looked into pronto.
  • Horace: Oh, I don't know, Max. I think it might be the source of my intelligence.
  • [Bea laughs]
  • Horace: What if I had it cut off and then found that it was responsible for all my best ideas?
