Flubber quotes

Sara

Phillip, please, be careful.

Don't worry. There's no chance that anything could go wrong!

I was just gonna, you know, grade my lunch, eat a few tests and hope for the best.

Martha George
[about the excitement of getting married]

How do you hold in it?

[thinking she meant waste]

Well, like everybody else, Ruthie. I just cross my legs real tight.

Martha George
[gets a little tickled by that answers]

I was talking about your excitement.

Weebo

Maybe you should just go without me.

Weebo

Because I get car sick.

Oh, come on. You're not gonna blow chips.

Weebo

No!

You don't have a stomach.

Weebo

I have a queasy gyro.

Wilson Croft

What happened between us, Phil?

Well, I just got tired of you stealing my ideas, Wilson.

Wilson Croft

I won't deny that I hate you for your brilliance. I'm petty, corrupt. I probably would have gone mad trying to compete with you in pure thought. But, uh, I'm not an innovator like you, Phil. I'm an adapter. And to that end, I have profited from your ideas.

Wilson Croft

Well, to be honest, I'm here this weekend to steal your fiancée. And make her my wife.

Well, I think you'll be sadly disappointed.

Weebo

I believe that a woman should love a man for what he is, not for what she wants him to be.

Chester Hoenicker
[Smith and Wesson discuss the incident at Brainard's house]

All right. One more time, what happened?

Wesson

He took a golf ball. He rubbed this cream on it and then the golf ball took and...

Wesson
[Wesson makes a popping sound]

...popped Smith in the head.

Smith

Several times.

Chester Hoenicker

Mm-hmm.

Wesson

I got hit with a bowling ball.

Smith

Repeatedly.

Chester Hoenicker

Were you drinking?

Wesson

No.

Smith

Two beers at dinner. Wesson had a white wine.

Wesson

With dinner.

Chester Hoenicker

Right.

Wesson

It's this stuff he's got, sir. It's... I don't know what it is. I don't know where it come from, but...

Wesson
[Smith and Wesson both sigh and showed Chester Hoenicker their bruises from the balls]

...It will give you one heck of a headache.

Chester Hoenicker

Oh... goodness.

[after two of Brainard's balls hit Smash and Wesson while testing the Flubber, the bowling ball knocks the cap off a tank of a compressed gas] [high-pitched voice]

This definitely has applications in the field of sports. Ho, ho, ho! Yes!

Rutland

Hey, are you blind? They're doin' something illegal out there.

Refree

Coach, nowhere in the rule book does it say anything about jumpin' too high. Now sit down!

Father

There's not a darn thing to be afraid of, pal. How can anything get in your window? It's closed, okay?

Chester Hoenicker
[Flubber crashes through the neighbor's window, bounces around and the boy covers himself in a blanket] [Professor Philip "Phil" Brainard and Sara Reynolds are visiting Hoenicker to discuss Flubber]

You came to repay your loan?

Chester Hoenicker

I know you didn't. I was just having a little fun.

I'm here to sell you the Flubber.

Chester Hoenicker

You been to your house recently?

Chester Hoenicker

Do I really need to buy it?

Flubber's a very quixotic substance. It's very difficult to handle. Have you tried to do anything with it?

Chester Hoenicker

My man is working on it. It won't be a problem.

Well, I could make it a lot easier for you. If you give us a 30 day extension on the loan, I'll tell you everything I know... and make you a great deal of Flubber.

Chester Hoenicker

I'll give you the 30 days, and after that you give me two years. Whatever you come up with over the next two years is mine.

Sara Reynolds

That's not fair.

Chester Hoenicker

Shop somewhere else, lady.

Sara. Sara. I'll do it.

Weebo--I've solved all our problems!

Weebo
[showing an image of Dumbo on her display screen]

I'm all ears.

Flubber is going to the basketball game.

[to Sara, before he attempts to fall out the window with the flubber springing him back up]

Ta-ta, my love.

Weebette
[at the end of the movie, Flubber, who was on the flying car with Philip Brainard and Sara, who are now married, lands on a window of an airplane where a little boy looks out] [to Sara]

Mom. Mom. Flubber's gone. [to Flubber] Get back here!

Weebette
[Flubber returns to Philip Brainard, Sara, and Weebette]

When we get to the hotel, I don't care what you say. I'm not sharing a room with him. Look at him. He's gross. He bounces all the time. He squeaks. He phase-shifts. I mean, he's a quasi-plasmoid. If it's hot in Hawaii, I hope he melts.

Weebo

Um, Professor? Why the long face?

I think you know why.

Weebo
[Showing a picture of Sara]

Maybe a Sara issue?

Wish I understand human beings. Wish I understand women. Wish I understand emotions and passions. Wish I understand any of that. If I did, I woudn't have had to spend my entire life in a laboratory trying to figure out how the world works. I would've been out in the world trying to figure out why it works. [Weebo records Phillip Brainard on her display screen] I know I love her, Weebo. Every neuron in my limbic system is saturated with phenylethylamine. That triggers euphoria, elation exhilaration. Truth is, Weebo, I'm not absent-minded because I'm selfish, crazy or inconsiderate. I'm absent-minded because I'm in love with Sara.

Weebo

Oh, Professor.

Chester Hoenicker
[Medfield has defeated Rutland as a result of the players' "flubberized" shoes]

Brainard had something to do with this.

Wesson

I-It's the same stuff we saw the other night, over at his house.

Chester Hoenicker
(sarcastically)

Right.
