Grandpa Phil quotes from Hey Arnold!

Grandpa Phil

There comes a time in every youngster's life when he's ready to take on Big Caesar! And you boys... well, you're not ready yet, but I'm tired of waitin'.

Grandpa Phil

We beated Smith Higgins! We beated Smith Higgins!

Grandpa Phil

[belches] Whoops! I think I'm full up.

Grandpa Phil

[Spotted a dead owl] Aw, look, a dead owl. Breakfast!

Grandpa Phil

Oh! Let's just fish for the Halibut!

Phil

[to Arnold] They should have named you Phil.

[Into a mirror] Hey! You talkin' to me? You... talkin' to me?

Grandpa Phil

No, I didn't say anything.

Grandpa Phil

You already had three helpings. [hits Oskar's hand]

Oww, you hurt my hand. I'm going to sue you!

No, Grandpa, you're still with us. Good morning, Grandpa.

Grandpa Phil

What's so good about it?

And he knows my name, and he keeps reciting this bizarre poetry.

Why must I hold you only whilst I'd dream?

Grandpa Phil

Well, he must belong to somebody, Arnold. They don't grow wild in these parts.

I know, but it looked kind of scared when I found it. Like, maybe it ran away from home? Could I keep it?

Grandpa Phil

Sure, why not, Short Man, but if the Real Owner comes to the door asking for his pet back, you know what you have to do.

I know, Grandpa. Give the bird back to his owner.

Grandpa Phil

What, are you crazy? No. You have to lie and tell them you don't know what they're talking about. Understand? Come on, let's get in The Packard and go to the Pet Store. We'll get bird seed and some of those bad-tasting biscuits.

Principal Wartz

Young man, I was beginning to wonder if you want to finish grade school.

Phil

[imitating Wartz] Young man, I was beginning to wonder if you want to finish grade school.

Principal Wartz

Pardon me?

Phil

Pardon me?

Principal Wartz

Stop repeating what I say!

Phil

Stop repeating what I say!

Principal Wartz

That's it.

Phil

That's it.

Principal Wartz

[to a tough Grandpa Phil] Report to detention after the final bell.

Phil

Report this, Wartz! [pulls the fire alarm and walks off]

Principal Wartz

[turns off the alarm] That's it, I'm calling his parents!

Why are you skipping school and acting tough and getting in trouble?

Grandpa Phil

'Cause...

'Cause why?

Grandpa Phil

Because...

Because why, Grandpa? [sternly] I want to know why and I want to know right now.

Melts in your mouth, not in your hand.

Grandpa Phil

Pookie, you're fired. Arnold! You can be my campaign manager.

[Sighs] Grandpa...?

Then, let's go get it.

Grandpa Phil

Right after my nap!

Grandpa Phil

[trying to cheer Arnold up] We'll grow old together... Oh, wait a minute, I'm already old! Well, okay, so you'll grow old alone with no one to talk to and nothing to come to, except your fun memories and... [Arnold gets sad] ...me and... I'm not helping, am I?

Dude, listen to Tillie,… [starts screaming out purism] Well, you want to buy a dog, sell a dog, it's uneasy! Like Tillie said, it's uneasy!!
