Laurie Metcalf movie quotes

View Quote [Jim has been escorted home by two police robots]
Police Robot 1: [to Sarah Hawkins] We apprehended your son operating a solar vehicle in a restricted area.
Police Robot 2: Moving Violation 9-0-4, Section 15, Paragraph... um...
Jim Hawkins: Six?
Police Robot 2: Thank you.
Jim Hawkins: Don't mention it.
Sarah Hawkins: [in exasperation] Jim!
Police Robot 1: As you are aware, ma'am, this constitutes a violation of his probation.
Sarah Hawkins: [stuttering for an explanation] Yes, yes- No, I mean, I understand, but, um, co-couldn't we just-?
Dr. Delbert Doppler: [interrupting] Um, pardon me, officers, if I might, uh, interject here? I am the noted astrophysicist Dr. Delbert Doppler. Perhaps you've heard of me? [awkward silence] No? I have a clipping.
Police Robot 1: Are you the boy's father?
Delbert and Sarah: Oh! Good heavens, no!
Sarah Hawkins: Eww! He's just an old friend of the family.
Both Police Robots: [to Delbert] Back off, sir!
Sarah Hawkins: Thank you, Delbert. I will take it from here.
Delbert: Well, Sarah, if you insist. [under his breath] Don't ever let me do that again.
Police Robot 1: [to Sarah] Due to repeated violations of statute 15-C, we have impounded his vehicle. Any more slip-ups will result in a one-way ticket to Juvenile Hall.
Police Robot 2: Kiddie hoosegow.
Police Robot 1: The slammo.
Sarah Hawkins: Thank you, officers. [towards Jim, firmly] It won't happen again.
Police Robot 1: We see his type all the time, ma'am.
Police Robot 2: Wrong choices.
Police Robot 1: Dead-enders.

[They depart, leaving an awkward silence behind them]

View Quote Jim Hawkins: [after discovering the map to Treasure Planet] Mom, this is it! This is the answer to all our problems!
Sarah Hawkins: Jim, there is absolutely no way--
Jim Hawkins: Don't you remember? All those stories?
Sarah Hawkins: That's all they were; stories.
Jim Hawkins: [frustrated] With that treasure, we could rebuild the Benbow a hundred times over!
Sarah Hawkins: Well, this-- it's just-- oh, my. Delbert, would you please explain how ridiculous this is?
Dr. Delbert Doppler: It's totally preposterous, traversing the entire galaxy alone.
[Jim rolls his eyes]
Sarah Hawkins: Now at last, we hear some sense.
Dr. Delbert Doppler: That's why I'm going with you! [pulls out a suitcase]
Sarah Hawkins: Delbert!
Dr. Delbert Doppler: [runs around packing things] She'll use her savings to finance the expedition; I'll commission a ship, hire a captain and a crew...
Sarah Hawkins: You're not serious?
Dr. Delbert Doppler: [slides down a tower of books] All my life, I've been waiting for an opportunity like this, and here it is screaming! "Go, Delbert! Go, Delbert...!"
Sarah Hawkins: [frustrated] Okay, okay! You're both grounded! [sighs]
Jim Hawkins: Mom, look. I know that I keep messing everything up. And I know...that I let you down. But this is my chance to make it up to you. I'm gonna set things right.
Dr. Delbert Doppler: If I may? [quietly speaks to her] You said yourself, you've tried everything. There are much worse remedies than a few character-building months in space.
Sarah Hawkins: Are you saying this because it's the right thing or because you really wanna go?
Dr. Delbert Doppler: I really, really, really, really want to go. And it's the right thing.
[Sarah turns to Jim with a worried expression]
Sarah Hawkins: Jim... I don't wanna lose you.
Jim Hawkins: [smiles] Mom... You won't. we'll make you proud.
[Sarah smiles back]
Dr. Delbert Doppler: Well, ahem, there we are, then. We'll begin preparations at once. Jim, my boy, soon we'll be off to the spaceport.

View Quote [Sarah looks at video recordings of a younger Jim]
Sarah Hawkins: I keep dreaming one day I'll open that door, and there he'll be, just the way he was. A smiling, happy little boy, holding a new pet and begging me to let him keep it. [chuckles]
[Delbert opens the front door, revealing Jim carrying Billy Bones]
Sarah Hawkins: [gasps] James Pleiades Hawkins--!
Jim Hawkins: Mom, he's hurt! Bad! [lays Bones onto the floor]
Billy Bones: [weakly] Me chest, lad. [Jim pushes his chest towards him, and he enters a combination, making it open] He'll be comin' soon... [takes out a wrapped bundle] Can't let them find this!
Jim Hawkins: Who's coming?
Billy Bones: [pulls Jim towards him and whispers in his ear] The cyborg! Beware the cyborg! [gasps out his last breath and collapses, dead]

View Quote Money is not life's report card. Being successful doesn't mean anything in and of itself. It just means that you're successful. But that doesn't mean that you're happy.

View Quote Marion McPherson: I want you to be the very best version of yourself that you can be.
Christine 'Lady Bird' McPherson: What if this is the best version?

View Quote Christine 'Lady Bird' McPherson: Why can't you say I look nice?

Christine 'Lady Bird' McPherson: No, I mean, I just, I wish that you liked me.
Marion McPherson: Of course I love you.
Christine 'Lady Bird' McPherson: But do you like me?

View Quote Dr. Krunklehorn: I haven't slept in eight days!
Teacher: Well can I offer you a, uh, cot?
Dr. Krunklehorn: Nope! I've got the caffeine patch! I invented it myself. One patch is the equivalent to twelve cups of coffee. You can stay awake for days with no side effects! (screams loudly) Sorry.

View Quote Dr. Krunklehorn: ...Hey, you never know if one of your students will invent the next integrated circuit, or microprocessor, or integrated circuit--Oh, wait! I said that already.

Mr. Willerstein: Well, can I get you a cot, or something?
Dr. Krunklehorn: Nope! I got the caffine patch. It's my invention. Each patch is the equivelent of twelve cups of coffee. [rolls up sleave to reveal arm covered in patches] You can stay awake for days with no side effects. AHHH! Sorry.
