Fergus McDuck quotes from DuckTales (2017)

Scrooge

Brace yourselves, kids. Primordial menace lurks here. The most treacherous terror I've ever faced.

Fergus McDuck

Oi! Jettison that jalopy from my driveway this instant, you deadbeat!

Scrooge

Daddy. Mummy.

Huey

Your parents are alive?!

Louie

I can't believe you're still alive.

Fergus

He put a curse on us.

Scrooge

That is not fair! I very kindly rebuilt our ancestral castle for them. And I may have used some discount mystical Druid stones that accidentally granted them immortality. I didn't know it would buy me an eternity's worth of criticism!

Fergus

So, he admits he wants to be rid of us!

Scrooge

Uch! Would you rather I'd let you pass, or made you immortal?

Fergus

Neither is satisfactory. A thoughtful son would know that.

[showing family portraits] Oh, and look here! Little Scroogey and Whiskers!

Huey

Whiskers?

Little Scroogey always wanted a dog, but we were too poor, so we all pitched in to buy a clump of hair from the local barber. Oh, how Scroogey loved his Whiskers!

Fergus

Aye. And who ended up having to walk him and feed him?

Scrooge

It was a ball of hair!

Fergus

How dare you talk about Whiskers like that?! He was family!

Scrooge

I take great care of my family!

Fergus

You avoid us like the plague!

Scrooge

Oh come now, that's unfair... to the plague!

Fergus

That's it! Go to your room!

Scrooge

I never lived here!

Fergus

Then pick the one furthest away from my line of sight!

Scrooge

Fine by me!

Scrooge

Just stop! I don't need you! [holding his dime] Everything I earned, I earned through my own hard work. You never gave me anything!

Fergus

I gave you that. [pointing to the dime]

Scrooge

Ugh... my Number One Dime? Burt the ditch digger gave it to me. Back in my shoeshine days, I worked for hours on Burt's boots. He paid me with an American dime.

Fergus

Who do you think gave him the dime?

Scrooge

What?

Fergus

Aye. I muddied his boots, and sent him your way.

Scrooge

Wait, what? But why?

Fergus

We were poor. I couldn't provide for you myself, so I had to give you a different gift, self-reliance. Teaching you to work hard, and fend for yourself, so that you'd become the man you are now. But you learned that lesson so well, we hardly saw you again. If I'm hard on you, lad, it's 'cause I miss you, is all.

Scrooge

Oh, Daddy... I miss you too.
