Clifford Sterling quotes from Honey, I Blew Up the Kid (1992)

Wayne

You think I'm just some fun guy from Fresno who tinkered with crack pot ideas in his attic? Well let me tell you something, this country was built on the shoulders of people who tinkered with crack pot ideas in their attics, basements and backyards. Alexander Graham Bell worked in a two room flat!

Clifford Sterling

Young man, don't presume to stand there and lecture me about great minds and great inventors. In all my years I've never worked with anyone who is a fool and I don't intend to start now. So, Charles, you're fired.

Dr. Charles Hendrickson

What?

Clifford Sterling

You're fired! So, Szalinski, what is your plan to get your kid back to normal by bed time?

Wayne

Mr. Sterling, sir, I can return my son back to normal!

Clifford Sterling

You can?

Dr. Charles Hendrickson

With that? Coca Cola bottles? Perhaps some chewing gum and twine?

Diane

Just who do you think you are talking to him like that?

Wayne

Diane, let me handle this. Who do you think you are talking to me like that?

Diane

I don't understand any of this.

Wayne

Behind every electrical object, there's a magnetic force field.

Clifford Sterling

That's what's causing the baby to grow.

Excuse me, but do these electrical object include neon lights?

Wayne

Yeah, why?

Your son is heading for Las Vegas.

Diane, Wayne, Clifford Sterling

Uh-oh.
