Memorable Quotes from Peter Bryant
1 quoteDeciding to Finish the Game Together
Judy Shepherd
Listen, I know you're upset and all, but I kinda feel we should finish the game.
Alan Parrish
We? Why do you need me?
Judy Shepherd
Well, just in case any scary stuff comes out. Plus, there's a lion in my aunt's bedroom. What am I supposed to do about that?
Alan Parrish
What do I look like, a Ringling Brother?
Judy Shepherd
But she'll be home soon.
Alan Parrish
Won't she be surprised. I hope she's not allergic to cats.
Paramedic
Larry, we need the wheels. Gimme a hand.
Larry
Did we hit her that hard?
Paramedic
No, it looks like another one of those weird bites.
Larry
It's another one.
Paramedic
Geez, that's over 50. What the hell's goin on?
Larry
Easy now.
Judy Shepherd
Hey, look. Isn't that Mrs. Thomas?
Peter Shepherd
Who's that?
Judy Shepherd
The realtor.
Alan Parrish
Quiet. Listen. You hear that?
Judy Shepherd
Hear what?
Alan Parrish
Get in the car. Okay, think. What came out of the game before me?
[they get into Mrs. Thomas’ car]
Judy Shepherd
There was a lion, a bunch of monkeys--
Peter Shepherd
That!
Alan Parrish
It's okay. It's okay. It's just a bug. But we're safe in here. See? We're fine. As long as we stay low, he can't get through there too far. Don't worry. We're fine. Hey, he can't get us in here. He can't get through the glass. We're safe. Either one of you know how to drive? No? Well, that's no problem. Well, my dad used to let me back the car down the driveway once. So, what's the big deal?
[The bug pokes through the celling of the car before landing in the wind shield; The mosquito taps the glass of the wind shield causing it to crack]
Judy Shepherd
Buckle up.
[to Peter]
Alan Parrish
Here we go! Oh, wait a minute. What-- Wait.
Judy Shepherd
Alan, the top!
Alan Parrish
Piece of cake. Yeah.
[driving recklessly and hitting a garbage can and mailbox before pulling up to the mansion]
Judy Shepherd
Alan.
Alan Parrish
Keep that thing away from me!
Judy Shepherd
When are you gonna help us play? We've gotta hurry. Our aunt's gonna be home soon.
Alan Parrish
Well, good. You can inform her that she's the ex-owner of this house. I hope you realize, with my parents gone, this home belongs to me. Oh, thank you. No more banana leaves.
[going into the bathroom and closing the door]
Judy Shepherd
What do you think those monkeys are gonna do to the ecosystem around here?
Alan Parrish
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, A tale of a fateful trip...
[singing]
Judy Shepherd
Hello!
[knocking the door]
Alan Parrish
That started out on this tropic port aboard this tiny ship, The mate was a mighty sailor man, The skipper brave and sure, five passengers set sail that day for a three-hour tour...
[singing]
Judy Shepherd
What happened to you. You shave with a piece of glass?
[sees he attempted to shave and has pieces of tissue covering the nicks]
Alan Parrish
What happened to you? The Clampetts have a yard sale? What do you want? I've never shaved before.
Judy Shepherd
Where are you going? How bout Peter and I play, and you just sort of watch?
Alan Parrish
No, thanks. I've seen it.
[in the kitchen eating an apple over a bowl]
Judy Shepherd
So if you're not gonna help us, what are you gonna do?
Alan Parrish
I don't know. Pretty much take up where I left off. I wonder if Mrs. Nedermeyer's still teaching sixth grade.
Peter Shepherd
Come on, Judy. He's not gonna help us. He's afraid.
Alan Parrish
What did you say?
Peter Shepherd
You're afraid. It's okay to be afraid. Let's go set it up in the living room.
Alan Parrish
No, you have no idea what you're getting yourself into.
Peter Shepherd
Whatever it is, we'll handle it by ourselves. We don't need your help.
Alan Parrish
I don't think so. You think monkeys, mosquitoes and lions are bad? That's just the beginning. I've seen things you've only seen in your nightmares. Things you can't even imagine. Things you can't even see. There are things that'll hunt you in the night. Then something screams. Then you hear them eat. And you hope to God that you're not dessert. Afraid? You don't even know what afraid is. You will not last five minutes without me.
Peter Shepherd
So are you gonna help us?
Alan Parrish
I'll watch. But I'm not afraid.
Judy Shepherd
Peter, that was very cool.
Peter Shepherd
That's reverse psychology. Dad used to pull it on me all the time.
