Walter(to Kat) I was just showing your friend with the disturbingly deep voice who looks much older than 17 what could happen if he's not careful. (firmly grips Patrick by his shoulder) And by careful, I don't mean use a condom. I mean, keep it in your pants.
Walter(As punishment) You're painting the living room tomorrow. Just in case you don't get into college, you'll have a skill to make a living.
Dad, you realize we know where babies come from, right?
WalterDo you realize where they come out? Trust me. Not pretty.
Dad!
WalterWhat's wrong with being popular? I loved it. I loved being captain of the football team... president of the Student Council. Any girl I wanted.
Dad, that was Uncle Jimmy.
WalterSo, it was.
(Kat confronting Chastity in the locker room)
[after Walter suggests to Bianca to have a car wash for a fund raiser] Great idea, Dad! Half-naked cheerleaders, wet and soapy, standing on a street asking for money.
Dr. Walter StratfordNo car wash.
Daddy.
Dr. Walter StratfordNo car wash!
Walter StratfordBianca, calm down. I'll take you to the party... and I'll just wait for you in the car outside.
Sure, Dad, why don't you carry me in a BabyBjörn?
[referring to Bianca] If she is your little flower, what am I?
Walter StratfordYou're my big, tough cactus!
Green, spiny and phallic. That's great, Dad.
When I go out, I have to file the flight plans with the FAA. But she gets to go out without questions asked?
Walter Stratford[to Kat] Gonna drink?
No.
Walter StratfordDrugs?
No.
Walter StratfordSex?
Gross.
Walter Stratford[to Bianca] Satisfied?
(Walter arrives at the school auto shop to discover that Kat has disassembled many pieces from her car)
WalterWhy didn't you call me earlier?
This is a car, not a uterus.
WalterKat, I'm sure somewhere on the Internet, there's a manual on how to deliver a baby. But it doesn't mean you know your way around a uterus.
Why can't my dad just be an accountant?
WalterSo, what's distracting you from setting the table?
I'm turning my giant carbon footprint into a cute little baby foot - by converting my car into a biodiesel.
WalterHuh, by yourself?
You think a woman can't do it?
WalterSure she can if she's a mechanic. You do realize that this is your only car and if you destroy it I'm not getting you another one.
Relax, Dad, I printed a comprehensive instruction manual off the Internet. It got nine out of ten stars.
Speaking of inflation, can I get an advance on my allowance?
WalterStop being a capitalist. I'm not an ATM. You can't just push my buttons and get cash.
WalterThe fire is out, the house is safe and no babies were born in the gym. We may all return to our lives. (he gestures to his daughters) come here, come here. Life is great (he kisses Bianca's forehead and puts an arm around each of them)
Are you drunk?
WalterOnly on life, my darling. And five hundred dollars worth of wine.
I'm driving.
Can I borrow your- (Patrick and Kat turn to look at her) A male in your bedroom and he's cute! Am I sleepwalking again? (Patrick smirks while Kat pulls Bianca into the room and closes her door, shushing Bianca)
(Patrick sits down while Kat freaks out) Dad is going to hear you.
WalterGirls!
Oh my god! Crap! Crap! Crap! Get out! Get out! Get out! Get out! (pulls Patrick up from her chair and pushes him towards the window) Just a second Dad I'm...indecent!
And in so much trouble. I'm loving this.
WalterI'm coming in!
(both girls look towards the window, Patrick's gone)
We takin' my Bike?
Walter StratfordPlease tell me he's talking about his ten speed.
Don't worry we're taking my car.
