Paula Small quotes from Home Movies

Paula

Oh, oh, is she okay? What is that strange wheezing noise?

Brendon

So I just feel like I'm in the way... of Mitch & Lonny.

Paula

Brendon.

Brendon

Yeah?

Paula

You're 8 years old. You need to remember to bring your homework folder to school everyday. You need to remember to wash your hands before you eat your breakfast, lunch, dinner & snack. And you need to worry about all this...

Paula

900 dollars?! You have got to be kidding.

Brendon

I don't think they're kidding.

Paula

Brendan, you're gonna have to help me with this.

Yes, Brendon, and I don't want to see you around here again. Got it?

Brendon

Yeah, I got it. Look, I'll do the community service, and Mom, I'll help pay you back for the car damage, but Your Honor, I want you to know this: I have learned absolutely nothing. Good day.

Brendon--

Brendon

I believe I said "good day"!

Paula

But are you learning anything? I mean, psychology can be kind of interesting.

Brendon

Well, I learned that "should" is a word I shouldn't use.

Paula

Why shouldn't you?

Brendon

I don't know. Because it makes the doctor mad. He should lighten up a little.

Paula

Maybe you should lighten up a little.

Brendon

Maybe you should go to therapy with Linda.

Paula

Maybe she should lighten up a little.

Brendon

Maybe everybody should lighten up a little.

Paula

What should we have for dinner?

Brendon

We should have pizza.

Paula

We should have salad, too.

Brendon

You should have salad.

Paula

Maybe Linda should have salad?

Brendon

I feel that it would be in her best interest.

Paula

Should be in her best interest.

Brendon

What do you mean? Whose best interest?

Paula

The salad.

Brendon

The salad is in Linda's best interest?

Paula

No, the pizza's in the salad's best interest...the point is, Brendon, you don't have to go to therapy. But I think a person like you really should.

Paula

Foremothers, huh?

Brendon

Yeah, I wanted to be equal.

Paula

Yeah.

Brendon

Did you enjoy it?

Paula

Mm...yes. It was a little confusing.

Brendon

Well, it's the kind of movie you have to watch a few times to totally get.

Paula

I'm sort of concerned, though, about your brains.

Brendon

What about them?

Paula

I'm concerned that they might have been damaged.

Brendon

Oh, so, you've seen my test.

Paula

I don't think that counted as a test, because in a test, you're supposed to answer the questions.

Brendon

I know.

Paula

You did not answer the questions.

Brendon

I know.

Paula

Though you did diagram the sentences of the questions...

Brendon

Yeah.

Paula

Which you did wrong.

Brendon

Am I in trouble?

Paula

Well, the bad news is you are grounded.

Brendon

What's the good news?

Paula

I'm not letting you use your camera for a week.

Brendon

I think that's still bad news.

Paula

Trust me. That is good news.

Paula

And get my wallet and checkbook, they're in the third drawer--

Brendon

I know where they are mother!

Paula

Brendon how do you know where my wallet and checkbook are?

Brendon

...what?

Paula

How do you know where my wallet and checkbook are?

Brendon

...Brendon can't come to the uh, hallway, right now...

Paula

Explanation please!

Brendon

uhh...you know we really should think about calling the fire department.

Paula

Well I just off the phone with dad--he's really broken up about this.

Oh please, the only way to break that man's heart would be to whack it with a sledge-hammer... or take away his anti-depressants. Let's get something to eat, I'm starved!

Perry

Sounds trite.

Walter

Yeah, it sounds like it's been done before.

Paula

No, I don't think so...

Walter

Lame!

Perry

Double Lame-o!

Walter

Yeah!

Perry

Double Lame-O Donkey D*ck!

Walter

Sucking on the Witch's T*t!
