Harry Connick Jr. movie quotes

View Quote George: This is Nautilus. What's the Giant's current position?
Rick: [through radio] 67.71972 degrees west by 44.50177 degrees north.
Robert: Locked and loaded.
Annie: [caressing Hogarth] Oh, my baby, I'm so sorry.
Hogarth: [regains consciousness; to Dean] Stop the car.
Annie: [surprised] Hogarth! Oh, my God! Honey, you're all right!
Hogarth: Go back! We've gotta help him!
Dean: Are you crazy, kid? You're lucky to be alive. We're taking you to a hospital. [sees the Army; stops truck.]
Rick: Everyone, out of the car! We are to evacuate the area. [pulling Dean of out the truck]
Dean: What are you talking about? We gotta get this boy to a hospital.
Rick: What boy?
Dean: [sees the truck is empty; alarmed] Hogarth!
[Hogarth runs up to Giant as Dean and Annie look on.]
Annie: [worried] Hogarth, no!
[Giant targets the battleship as Hogarth arrives to stop him.]
Hogarth: Hey! No! STOP!
[Giant turns to Hogarth and he shoots to sky, narrowly missing the battleship, as the army reacts in shock. Kent looks at General Rogard.]
General Rogard: [to Nautilus, through radio] This is General Rogard. Ready the attack and prepare to retreat to the fallback position.
Annie: No! No! Stop! My son is out there!
[camera cuts to Hogarth as Giant points his weapon at him.]
Hogarth: No, wait! It's me, Hogarth. Remember? It's bad to kill. Guns kill. And you don't have to be a gun. You are what you choose to be. You choose. [braces for impact] Choose.
Giant: [his eyes return to normal] Hogarth. [returns to his normal form, feeling regretful, as he moans.]
Hogarth: It's okay, It's okay. We gotta show them you're good.
[Giant turns around, and the camera cuts to inside the Nautilus submarine.]
John: Nautilus to Rogard. Missile armed and ready.
General Rogard: What are you saying? He's friendly?
Dean: Yes! Attacking him is triggering a defense mechanism.
Kent: Don't listen, General! Destroy the monster while we still have the chance!
[soldiers arm their rifles, after hear the Giant's footsteps]
Dean: General, you shoot now, and the whole thing starts all over again!
Kent: Stop it now, General! Our future's at stake!
Rick: Orders, sir?
Dean: Which is why you have got to stop, General!
Rick: [alarmed] It's getting closer! Orders, sir?!
Hogarth: Don't shoot! Don't shoot!
Annie: Hogarth!
General Rogard: Hold your fire! The boy's alive?
Kent: It's a trick; Launch the missile!
General Rogard: Are you mad, Mansley? All units, stand down! Rogard to Nautilus. Come in, Nautilus.
[Giant angrily stares at Kent for knocking Hogarth unconscious, and Kent is alarmed]
John: [through radio] This is Nautilus, standing by.
Kent: [snatches radio; screaming] LAUNCH THE MISSILE NOW!
[Nautilus captain pushes the red button, launching the missile up to the sky.]
General Rogard: [grabs Kent by his trench coat] [angrily] That missile is TARGETED TO THE GIANT'S CURRENT POSITION! WHERE'S THE GIANT, MANSLEY?!
Kent: [sees the Giant holding Hogarth in his hands standing behind him] Wha--? Ohhhh....W-W-We can duck and cover! There's a fallout shelter right there. If we hur--
General Rogard: There's no way to survive this, YOU IDIOT!
Kent: [shocked] You mean... we're all going to--?
General Rogard: To die, Mansley. For our country.
Kent: [his last words; alarmed] Screw our country, I wanna live! [shoves a soldier out of a jeep and starts to drive away, but the Giant stops him by blocking his jeep with his hand.]
General Rogard: Hold him, men. [Soldiers aim their rifles at Kent.] Make sure he stays here, like a good soldier.
[an air raid siren goes off and the crowd gets worried and scared. Giant puts Hogarth down then he walks up to Annie and hugs her.]
Hogarth: [shocked] Oh, no. [looks to where the missile is heading.]
Giant: Hmm.
Hogarth: It's the missile. When it comes down, everyone will die. [Annie places her hand on Hogarth's shoulder.]
Man: There it is! [the crowd sees the missile up in the sky as Giant looks at it then he looks to crowd knowing that the missile will kill everyone, and bravely looks at the missile.]
Annie: Shouldn't we get to a shelter?
Dean: [shaking his head] It wouldn't matter.
Giant: I fix. [Hogarth feels surprised and he walks up to Giant.]
Hogarth: Giant? [Giant kneels down and gently places his finger at him.]
Giant: Hogarth. You stay. I go. [gently lifts Hogarth's chin, and sadly waves his other finger] No following. [backs slowly]
Hogarth: [softly] I love you.
[The Giant takes off as Hogarth looks on and Annie comforts him. As the missile starts to descend, the Giant flies up into outer space, aiming himself towards it, to save the town.]
Hogarth: [through memory] You are who you choose to be.
Giant: [last word; heroically] Superman...
[The Giant closes his eyes and flies straight into the missile, which explodes in a massive atomic fireball, as Annie, Dean and Hogarth shield their eyes from the blinding light. The townspeople and soldiers cheer as Rogard solemnly removes his helmet in respect for the Giant's sacrifice]
General Rogard: [solemnly] Let's go home.

View Quote Hogarth: [he has just had espresso with Dean, and is not used to its effects] So, she moved me up a grade because I wasn't fitting in, so now I'm even more not fitting in. I was getting good grades, you know, like all A's. So my mom says, "You need stimulation" and I go, "No, I'm stimulated enough right now."
Dean: That's for sure.
Hogarth: So she says, "Uh-uh. You don't have a challenge. You need a challenge." So now I'm challenged, all right. I'm challenged to hold on to my lunch money because of all the big mooses who want to pound me, because I'm a shrimpy dork who thinks he's smarter than them. But I don't think I'm smarter, I just do the stupid homework. If everyone else just did the stupid homework, they could move up a grade and get pounded too. Is there any more coffee?
Dean: Look, it's really none of my business, kid, but who cares what those creeps think, you know? They don't decide who you are, you do. You are who you choose to be. [a crashing sound is heard from outside; shocked] Did you hear that?
Hogarth: No, wait. Stop! [Dean comes out of his home with a crowbar in his hand, he looks around. Then, he turns around and suddenly caught sight of Giant on the other side of his warehouse.] It's okay.
Dean: [alarmed] My God...
Hogarth: He isn't gonna--
Dean: [panicking; grabs Hogarth] RUN, KID! RUN! [they run off, Dean's voice attracts Giant's attention and he jumps up angrily. The Giant lands in front of them, they run the opposite way]
Hogarth: It's okay, he isn't-- [he gets cut off when Giant slams his hand in their way. They turn around and they trip] It's okay, he isn't gonna hurt me.
[Suddenly, Giant grabs hold of Dean by the collar of his night robe]
Dean: Whoa! Hey, hey! [he gasps when the Giant raises him high]
Hogarth: Don't squash him! No, don't! Do not... [Giant narrows his eyes at Dean, then he looks at Hogarth, confused] [softly] ...squash him. His name is Dean. We like Dean. [Giant draws his attention back to Dean, but he doesn't narrow his eyes]
Giant: Dean. [Dean gasps, and cowers in fear]
Dean: [sees Giant eating some metal junk and shakes with fear as he is about to take a sip of his coffee] So...where'd, uh-- Where'd he come from?
Hogarth: He doesn't remember. He's like a... little kid.
Dean: Little. Yeah. [starts chuckling, then stops] Wait a minute. You can talk to him?
Hogarth: Kinda. He can't say a lot of words yet, but he understand things pretty good.
Dean: Oh, yeah, I see.
[Hogarth and Dean start chuckling as the Giant is still eating some metal junk, then they stop]
Hogarth: He needs food and shelter. [Dean gets up from his chair, pours his coffee onto the ground, and walks back into his office, shutting the door. 37 minutes later, Hogarth is still pleading to Dean to let Giant stay in the junkyard, but to no avail.] You got plenty of room here. This place is perfect!
Dean: Go away.
Hogarth: I can have him push the door down. You know I can!
Dean: [opens the door] Hogarth, I-I-I can't hide it here!
Hogarth: Him. Not it.
Dean: Whatever. You don't even know where he came from, or-or-or what the hell he is!
Hogarth: He's my friend.
Dean: Yeah, yeah. What am I? Am I your friend? [starts walking back into his office] Bring some Franken-bot with out-of-state plates over here and make me change my tune. I don't like that jazz. [lays down on his couch] God, I'm tired.
Hogarth: So, he can stay?
Dean: Tonight. Tomorrow-- I-I don't know about tomorrow.
[Hogarth closes the door and breathes a sigh of relief]

View Quote Dean: Get back!
[The Giant looks at Dean in confusion]
Dean: I said Get back! I mean it!
Giant: No, stop! Why?
Hogarth: It was an accident. He's our friend.
Dean: [to Hogarth] He's a piece of hardware, Hogarth. Why do you think the army was here? He's a weapon. A big gun that walks!
Giant: I... I... I'm not a gun.
Dean: Yeah, what's that? Huh? [points at a school bus that was left in the hole by the Giant's Eye Gun] You almost did that to Hogarth!
Giant: [sees hole in bus; shocked] No. [he runs away as it begins to snow]
Hogarth: Come back! [runs to follow Giant]
Dean: Hogarth. Hey, stop!
Hogarth: Giant! Come back!
Dean: [picks up Hogarth's toy gun; realizing] It was defensive. He reacted to the gun. [Hogarth continues running on the road and Dean arrives on his motorcycle.] You're not gonna get there fast enough on foot. [Hogarth smiles then he hops on]
