Ricky[to his grandfather] You know, I feel bad for you. For my dad, too. It's almost as if he doesn't have a father, and you don't have a son. [He walks toward the door] I went without my father for 12 years and I really missed him. And I can't believe that you don't miss your son.
RickyI can't believe it. I finally met the woman of my dreams, and she dumps me. I'm only 12. Do you realize how many years I have left to be miserable?
RickyIf it hadn't been for my grandfather, we'd all be driving Japanese cars now.
RickyI just don't go for this "new morality" stuff. What can I say? I'm an old-fashioned guy.
RickyDerek, you're a cold sore on the lip of life.
RickyDerek, I know what they're gonna put on your gravestone: 'Here Lies Derek Taylor - By Popular Demand.'
Ricky[on his father] I can ask him anything, anytime; he'll always listen real close, and tell me the God's honest truth. Like when I asked him how a man and a woman made a baby - he told me the truth. It made me throw up... but it was still the truth.
Ricky[on Derek's business project] He's gonna tell everybody he's manufacturing picture frames in his treehouse. Then he's gonna burn it down, and collect the insurance.
RickyDerek, you know... I've read somewhere that there's a little bit of good in even the worst person. That must have been written before you were born.
RickyPleased to meet'cha... . I'm your son.
Son? SON? Gee, I... yeah, but, but, but how? Ubbuh... When? Who?
RickyEvelyn... Your ex-wife, remember?
How c'n we have a son? We weren't married that long.
RickyWell, it doesn't take that long.
You still looking at that stupid picture?
RickyYou call this picture stupid once more, and your tooth fairy's gonna need a wheelbarrow!
Come off it, creep-face! You told me you were gonna go live with your father and you'd never have to come back here again. Well you're here, just like I told ya... He probably took one look at you and threw you out, just like your mother did.
RickyYou know, Derek, now I see why all your gerbils commit suicide!
RickyWhy aren't you in military school? They finally kick you out?
Yeah. They got mad 'cause I took a look at Colonel Baxter's wife.
RickyWhat's so bad about that?
She was in the shower at the time.
RickyDerek, the lady is 74 years old!
It was still worth it.
I still have to punish you.
RickyLook, Dad, that won't be necessary now.
Oh yes, it will. Because I don't want you to forget that it's wrong to be mean and inconsiderate. So, except for meals, you will stay in your room for two days.
RickyOh, Dad.
Son, this hurts me more than it does you.
RickyHow can it hurt you?
I won't have anybody to play with.
Edward, would you care to go to the ball game?
Well... I don't know. Yeah. Let's go! [runs to the door, then runs back] Wait a minute, wait a minute. [He grabs a baseball cap and a glove] In case of foul balls. [runs out the door]
RickyI'm sure it's just a phase.
RickyAt lunchtime, Dad, he even tasted my food.
Was that necessary, Mr. T?
Look, man - you hired me because I'm the best in the world, and I never lost a client. If there's a gun, I take the bullet. If there's a knife, I take the blade. I don't work for people I ain't willing to die for - and besides, that food in the cafeteria will kill ya!
