Edie McClurg movie quotes

View Quote Oh, my. There's quite a gap, Mr. Soil. Shouldn't we tell the Queen?

View Quote Oh, yes, Princess Atta. The poor dear.

View Quote Princess Atta: You mean, you're not warriors?
P.T. Flea: Are you kiddin'? These guys are the lousiest circus bugs you've ever seen, and they're gonna make me rich!
Thorny: You mean to tell me that our entire defensive strategy was concocted by clowns?!
Francis: Hey, hey, hey, hey. We really thought Flik's idea was gonna work.
[All ants gasp and angrily turn to Flik, while the fireflies put a spotlight on him]
Francis: [realizes his mistake] Oops.
Princess Atta: [sternly] Tell me this isn't true.
Flik: No, you don't... You don't...
Mr. Soil: This couldn't have happened at a more inopportune time! The last leaf is about to fall!
Dr. Flora: We haven't collected any food for the grasshoppers!
Thorny: If Hopper finds out what we almost did--
Queen: [angrily] Hopper is NOT going to find out. We're going to hide all this and pretend it never happened. [angrily points to the Circus Bugs] You bugs were never here, so I suggest you all leave.
Flik: [gets in front of the Circus Bugs] But the bird! The-the-the bird will work!
Queen: I never thought I'd see the day when an ant would put himself before the rest of his colony.
Flik: [shocked] What?
Queen: The point is, Flik, you lied to us.
Flik: No, no, no, no! I just--
Princess Atta: [walks to Flik, hurt with disappointment] You lied, Flik. You lied to her. You lied to the colony! You lied to ME! And like an idiot, I believed you.
Flik: But I was just afraid that if you knew I'd gotten circus bugs. [looks at Princess Atta, still mad, sighs sadly] I just wanted to make a difference.
Princess Atta: I want you to leave Flik, and this time, don't come back.
[Flik sadly hangs his head in sadness; Dot gasps and Aphie whimpers. Flik & the Circus Bugs then sadly leave]
P.T. Flea: Tough crowd. [Snaps the reins and the wagon rolls off] Yee-haw!
Dot: [sadly tries to run after her friend and the bugs. But the mother stops her and holds her back as Flik and the bugs leave] Flik.

View Quote Plucky: "Uh, hey, Is it just me, or is it hot in here? How bout' a little A.C., huh?"
Wade: "Air conditioning wastes gas. I'll just crack a window."
Winnie: "Don't you dare, Wade! People will think we can't afford air conditioning!"

View Quote Winnie: "There's that nice young man we met. Did you give him our address?"
Hamton: "No, Mom. I gave him Plucky's."
Plucky: "WHAT?!??!"

View Quote Plucky: "Are we anywhere remotely near HappyWorldLand yet?
Wade: "No, but if you're bored, we could always play..."
Hamton: "Spot the car? Spot the car?"
Wade: "Heh heh. Spot the car."
Hamton: "Whee!"
Plucky: "Oh, you mean, like, spot the red cars, or the cars with out-of-state plates?"
Hamton: "No, any car!"
Wade: "Here they come!"
Pig Family (While jumping up and down): "There's a car! There's a car! There's a car! There's a car!" (Laugh)
Plucky (Flattened): "Fun game."
Winnie: "Look! here come some more!"
Pig Family: "There's a car! There's a car! There's a car! There's a... whoops. Truck!" (Laugh)
Plucky: "Shoot me."

View Quote Ed Rooney: [talking to Cameron on the phone (who is posing as Sloane's father), thinking it is Ferris] Tell you what dipshit, if you don't like my policies, you can come down here and smooch my big ol' white butt.
Grace: Ed!
Ed Rooney: Pucker up, buttercup. [to Grace] What?
Grace: Ferris Bueller's on line two.

View Quote Ed Rooney: I don't trust this kid any further than I can throw him.
Grace: Well, with your bad knee Ed, you shouldn't throw anybody... Its true.
Ed Rooney: What is so dangerous about a character like Ferris Bueller is he gives good kids bad ideas. Last thing I need at this point in my career is fifteen hundred Ferris Bueller disciples running around these halls. He jeopardizes my ability to effectively govern this student body.
Grace: He makes you look like an ass, is what he does, Ed.
Ed Rooney: Thank you Grace, but I think you're wrong.
Grace: Oh, he's very popular, Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wasteoids, dweebies, dickheads — they all adore him. They all think he's a righteous dude.
Ed Rooney: That is why I need to show these kids that the example he sets is a first-class-ticket-to-nowhere!
Grace: Oh, Ed. You sounded like Dirty Harry just then.
Ed Rooney: Really? Thanks, Grace.

View Quote Rooney: [After hearing Sloane's grandmother has passed away] Dead grandmother?
Grace: Yes, that's what Mr. Peterson said. I had Florence Sparrow notify Sloane, poor little lamb.
Rooney: [Growing skeptical] Who's this girl going out with?
Grace: Oh it's so hard to tell these days. I do see her with Ferris Bueller quite a little bit.
Rooney: Would you get me Mr. Peterson's daytime number, please?
Grace: Sure. [picks up ringing phone] Ed Rooney's office.
Cameron: [disguising his voice] This is George Peterson.
Grace: Oh! Uh, please hold. [to Rooney] What do ya know? It's Mr. Peterson. You still want his daytime number? [realizing, as Rooney shoots her a dirty look] Oh.
Rooney: [on the phone] Ed Rooney.
Cameron: Ed. This is George Peterson.
Rooney: How are you today, sir?
Cameron: Well, we've had a bit of bad luck this morning as you may have heard.
Rooney: [feigning concern] Yeah, I heard, and, ooh, I'm all broken up. Boy, what a blow.
Cameron: Yeah. Yeah. Well, uh, it's been a tough morning, and, uh, we got a lot of family business to take care of, so if you wouldn't mind excusing Sloane, I'd appreciate it.
Rooney: Uh, sure. Y'know, I'd be happy to. Yeah. You, uh, you-you just produce a corpse, and, uh, I'll release Sloane. I wanna see this dead grandmother first hand.
Grace: [suspiciously] Ed?
Rooney: [covering the phone; thinking he's talking to Ferris Bueller] It's alright, Grace, it's Ferris Bueller, the little twerp. I'm gonna set a trap, and let him fall right into it.
Grace: Ooh!
Cameron: Uh, uh, Ed, I-I'm sorry, did-- Did you say you wanted to see a body?
Rooney: Yeah, that's right, just, uh, roll her old bones on over here, and I'll dig up your daughter. You know, that's school policy.
Cameron: Oh.
Rooney: Uh, was this your mother?
Cameron: Uh, n-no, my wife's mother.
Grace: [picks up other extension on her phone] Ed Rooney's office.
Ferris: Hi, this is Ferris Bueller. Can I speak to Mr. Rooney, please? Thank you.
Grace: [caught off-guard] Uh... hold. [runs over and starts waving frantically to Rooney]
Rooney: Tell ya what, dipshit. You don't like my policies, you can come on down here and smooch my big ol' white butt.
Grace: [loud whisper] Ed!
Rooney: Pucker up, Buttercup. [to Grace; quietly] What?
Grace: Ferris Bueller's on Line 2.
[Mr. Rooney freezes, turning to the phone in horror]
Ferris: [Over the phone] Hiya, Mr. Rooney, how ya doin? Listen, I'm sorry to disturb you at work but I'm not feeling very well today and I was wondering if it might be possible for my sister to bring home any assignments from my classes that I might need. Have a nice day. [Hangs up]
