  Judy Williams : Oh you think so?

  Earl Williams : Yes! All she does all day is put busy work on the board, so she doesn't have to bother with us. I don't think that's be...

  Judy Williams : It doesn't matter what YOU think, Earl, you are a little BOY and little boys are supposed to do what they're told, and if your father was...

  Earl Williams : What? What about him?

• Earl Williams : It's going to be worth millions, Kenny, people are going to pay a lot more money to see a Frankenstein monster that's alive.

• Judy Williams : Your father was a dreamer, just like you. He was always hoping one of his ideas would work out. But they never did.

  Earl Williams : [tears up]  It could've.

  Judy Williams : But they didn't.

  Earl Williams : [crying]  But he was happy, Mom. He made us happy.

• Les Williams : I know it's been a long day, boys, I know you're tired, but we're coming ot the big moment in the movie. So I want to see on your faces, that you're TERRIFIED! FRIGHTENED! But at the same time, brave, now Earl, you're the oldest brother, so I want to see more from you than I see from Larry, alright?

  Earl Williams : Okay.

  Les Williams : Now let's make a movie.

• Les Williams : You know, I went to Hollywood once, tried to make it in show business. It was a long, long time ago. Long time ago. Now that I think about it, I had a lot of courage, you know? Go out to Hollywood from a little old town down south, see all them beautiful people, beautiful lights. You know there's a big ol' hill, on top is a big ol' sign that says Hollywood; it just sort of lords over all them people. Yep, I was gonna paint my dreams right across the silver screen.

  Earl Williams : Did you meet anyone famous or work on any movies?

  Les Williams : No. No, I quit too soon. I gave up too soon. You know, you got a dream, you gotta stick with it, you gotta go for it, you can't back off. So make me a promise, you two have a dream, you go for it, with everything you got. Right?

  Earl Williams : Promise, Dad.

  Les Williams : I promise.
