Quotes from the Movie
|
| : |
"Be nice to this one, okay? I really like him."--Pam (Teri Polo) to her father, Jack (Robert De Niro)
"Okay, I'll try."--Jack
"The dog is an emotionally shallow animal."--Jack to Greg (Ben Stiller), regarding the superiority of cats over dogs

"I had no idea you could milk a cat."--Dina (Blythe Danner) to Greg
"I'm a patient man. That's what nineteen months in a POW camp will do to you. If I think you're trying to corrupt my firstborn child in any way, I will bring you down, baby! I will bring you down to Chinatown!"--Jack to Greg |
