Quotes

Emmeline Finch : Oh Russell, I feel sick.
J. Russell Finch : Now take it easy honey, these things happen ya know.
Mrs. Marcus : Now what kind of an attitude is that, "these things happen"? They only happen because this whole country is just full of people, who when these things happen, they just say "these things happen," and that's why they happen!

Lennie Pike : All right lady, are you gonna get out or am I gonna have to throw you out?
Emmeline Finch : Oh please Mr. Pike, don't get upset.
Mrs. Marcus : He's not gonna do anything! Drive on, ya big stupid idiot!

Emmeline Finch : I'm only thinking of Russell's condition.
Mrs. Marcus : You mean his financial condition, because that's the only condition that he has.
J. Russell Finch : Yeah but...
Mrs. Marcus : Emmeline, do you know why your husband had a nervous breakdown? It's because he has sunk forty thousand dollars, including fifteen thousand dollars of my money into a company that makes seaweed for people to eat.
J. Russell Finch : Yeah but...
Mrs. Marcus : And not only does nobody like it, but it costs over four dollars a can.
J. Russell Finch : Yeah but...
Mrs. Marcus : Yeah but *what*?
J. Russell Finch : Well, most people like it and I like it, and I'm working hard trying to keep the cost down.
Mrs. Marcus : Yeah you were working hard trying to keep the cost down the day that you ran out of your office and stood in the street screaming.
Emmeline Finch : Mother!
Mrs. Marcus : Oh Emmeline, shut up!
[Russell starts to speak]
Mrs. Marcus : And you too!

J. Russell Finch : [as all the cars pull over one by one, the men quickly jump out in shock at having just witnessed Smiler Grogan pass them recklessly fast, careen off the side of the hilly road, and terribly crash down below] Whoa! Hey d-did ya see it, the way he went sailing right out there? D-d he just went *sailing* right out there.
Melville Crump : It was terrible, I m-a-mean just terrible. He musta been doin' over eighty ya know.
J. Russell Finch : An ambulance - we better, we oughta call an ambulance.
Ding Bell : Oh... oh look at that car.
J. Russell Finch : [the group starts bickering and talking over one another] He went sailing right out there.
Ding Bell : How 'bout you doin' ninety miles an hour?
J. Russell Finch : I wasn't doin' - he was passin' me.
Ding Bell : We weren't standin' still when he passed us...
J. Russell Finch : I never saw such a crazy guy in my life!...
Lennie Pike : Come on, let's get down there!
[the group immediately starts scrambling down the rocky hill]
J. Russell Finch : [to Emmeline and Mrs. Marcus] W... we're gonna go down there, you stay in the car.
Emmeline Finch : Now Russell be careful, remember your condition.
Mrs. Marcus : [gestures her hand with disdain] Eh.
J. Russell Finch : [to himself] Ooh, boy the way he just *sailed* out there.
[Finch follows down after the group]
