Mr. Thompson
- Mr. Thompson: [giving a toast] Now when Molly told me that she was going to marry Carl, I said "Who?" She said "Daddy, he works for you." I said, "Honey, I've got 1,200 employees nationwide." But then, I started to worry. Maybe he was some young buck trying to push me aside, grab the reins of my company.
- [smiles]
- Mr. Thompson: And then I met Carl, sitting in cubicle 26. And I said, "You know, I like my chances."
- Carl Peterson: You gonna hit me with that thing? Come on I dare you!
- [Thompson knocks him out with a candlestick]
- Molly Peterson: Dad!
- Mr. Thompson: He dared me.
- Molly Peterson: Dad, I'm going to ask you something and remember, you've never lied to me before. Do you ever really want my marriage to work?
- Mr. Thompson: That's a really complicated question, Molly.
- Molly Peterson: No. Actually, it's not.
