Quotes
-
Philip Drummond : Arnold, you don't have anything to feel guilty about.
Arnold Jackson : I can't help it, Dad.
Philip Drummond : Well we all feel guilty, I keep wondering what if I had never let Sam go out in the street alone? What if I'd told him to scream if he ever got in a jam? What if? What if? What if? None of it's going to help, Arnold.
-
Philip Drummond : What is it, Arnold?
Arnold Jackson : I just had Sam on the phone, he gave me this phone number!
Philip Drummond : What?
Officer Fernandez : Good work, Arnold, you handled that like a real pro. Come on, Mr. Drummond, we'll get Harris to trace this number.
-
Arnold Jackson : Sam, giving up bunk beds is part of growing up.
Sam McKinney : They have them in the army.
Arnold Jackson : So go enlist, they could use a redheaded target!
-
Sam McKinney : [on the phone] Hi Arnold, it's me, Sam!
Arnold Jackson : Sam! Where are you?
Sam McKinney : I don't know.
Arnold Jackson : Uh, well are you okay?
Sam McKinney : I'm scared, Arnold, I can't stay on the phone very long.
Arnold Jackson : Alright Sam, just stay calm. Dad! Dad! Sam, listen, what's the number on the phone?
Sam McKinney : Area code 914-555-6411, Arnold I've gotta go!

Sam McKinney : Arnold! Arnold! There's still time to save the bunk beds!
Arnold Jackson : Now Sam, don't start that again. You know Maggie has to redecorate our room too!
Sam McKinney : I know, Arnold, but with your mouth you can talk her into keeping the bunk beds. They're easy, you can jump out of them like paratrooper or climb up them like a fireman, and...
Arnold Jackson : Or when you get out of them, you could step all over my face.

Arnold Jackson : This is a nice table, Pearl, but it's not an antique.
Pearl Gallagher : How can you tell?
Arnold Jackson : There's no gum under it.

Philip Drummond : Excuse me.
Sally Winkle : I'm sorry about the potato chip display, it fell prey to a four foot twin pack terror.
Arnold Jackson : Sam!
Philip Drummond : The little redheaded boy?
Arnold Jackson : Floppy haircut? Super cute?
Sally Winkle : They're not cute when they attack my chips, but that is the culprit.
-
Philip Drummond : [about Sam] Look, he's overdue at home. Did you see which way he went?
Sally Winkle : Yeah, he left with his father.
Arnold Jackson : Huh?
Philip Drummond : What?
Sally Winkle : Yeah.
Philip Drummond : That's impossible. His father lives in Nashville.
[takes out a picture]
Philip Drummond : Is this the boy?
Sally Winkle : That's the kid alright.
Philip Drummond : Oh my God. Arnold this is terrible.
