 Edward Asner QuotationMovie Title: Mary Tyler Moore (1970) as Lou Grant: Lou Grant : Mary, I don't want you to take this wrong, but you're a jerk. Mary Richards : How could I possibly take that wrong? Lou Grant : You know, you've got spunk! Mary Richards : Well, thank you. Lou Grant : I HATE spunk! Lou Grant : I don't like you, I'll fire you! If you don't like me, I'll fire you! [During Mary's job interview] Lou Grant : What religion are you? Mary Richards : Mr. Grant, I don't know how to say this, but you're not allowed to ask that when someone's applying for a job. It's against the law. Mary Richards : Mr. Grant? Could I say what I wanted to say now? Please? Lou Grant : Okay, Mary. Mary Richards : Well I just wanted to let you know that sometimes I get concerned about being a career woman. I get to thinking that my job is too important to me. And I tell myself that the people I work with are just the people I work with. But last night I thought what is family anyway? It's the people who make you feel less alone and really loved. [she sobs] Mary Richards : And that's what you've done for me. Thank you for beginning MY family. Lou Grant : Lucky more people weren't hurt. Lucky the elephant didn't go after anyone else! Murray Slaughter : That's right. After all, you know how hard it is to stop after one peanut. [explaining a dream to Lou and Murray] Ted Baxter : I dreamt I was an old man, all wrinkled and shriveled, sitting alone on this park bench, and then this-this guy walked up to me, and he looked kind of familiar, and he just stood there, looking at me. And I said, "Who are you?" And he said, "I'm the son you never had." And then-then this woman appeared, and I said, "Who are you?", and she said, "I'm the daughter you never had." And then-then about twenty kids appeared, and I said, "Who are you?" And they said, "we're the children of the children you never had." Then a bunch of dogs and cats appeared, and I said, "Who are you?" And they said, "We're the pets of the children of the children you never had." And then a bunch of guys in white coats came up, and I said, "Who are you?" And they said, "We're the Veterinarians of the pets of the children of the children you never had." And then, and then... Lou Grant : Ted, just-just skip to the finish of the dream. Tell us how it ended. Ted Baxter : Oh like all my dreams end, with Marlon Thomas and Winston Churchill applauding me. [there is a party at Mary's. Mary has suggested playing a game where one person says a word and the next person thinks of a word that begins with the last letter of the word they heard] Lou Grant : Does this game go on forever or does it have an end? Mary Richards : It ends when a person can't think of a word. Lou Grant : Oh, I'll start. (Lou turns to Ted Baxter.) Box! (Ted cannot think of a word and says nothing.) Game's over. Movie Title: El Dorado (1966) as Bart Jason: [Cole Thornton is turning down Bart Jason] Bart Jason : Since when did hired guns get choosy? You're paid to take... Cole : I'm paid to risk my neck. I'll decide where and when I'll do it. This isn't it. Bart Jason : Ya know, Thornton, I got an idea you just don't want to go up against Sheriff J.P. Harra. Cole : You know, you're just about right? Bart Jason : You think he's that good? Cole : I tell ya he's that good. Movie Title: Lou Grant (1977) as Lou Grant: Lou Grant : Well, I haven't gotten the memo yet, but any way that we can be protected from the nuts who call the city room would be great. Mrs. Pynchon : That's not what the memo says. I asked you to be courteous to the nuts who call the city room. Donovan : I don't know Lou. I can't stay cheerful and smiling 24 hours a day. Lou Grant : What makes you think that's what your mother wants? She's seen you every way you can be and whatever it is you are, that's what she wants. Lou Grant : When I told you to pick a company to investigate sexual harassment, I didn't mean this one. Billie Newman : I chose the Trib because that way, I felt the story would have the most impact. Lou Grant : I have a feeling you're right. Lou Grant : Talk to Dr. Shephard at the Historical Society, find out what's in the time capsule. Give me a little 'Gee whiz, nothing ever stays the same' or 'Gee whiz, nothing ever changes.' Movie Title: Freakazoid! (1995) as Cosgrove: Cosgrove : You're not a failure kid. It's just that your ideas are silly and dumb. Dr. Mystico: I'll build a private army of super-apes and take over Cleveland. Cosgrove : Don't you mean the world? Dr. Mystico: I meant the world, yes. What did I say? Cleveland? Oh, I ALWAYS do that. Freakazoid : Cosgrove, why didn't you ever get married? Cosgrove : Because I like meat too much. Freakazoid : You can get married and still like meat. Cosgrove : You can? I didn't know that. Movie Title: Gargoyles (1994) as Hudson: Hudson : A gargoyle can no more stop protecting the castle than breathing the air. Hudson : Movies, television, video games... these days it's hard to tell what's real and what's not. Angela : Do you think the thieves will really try to rob this place again? Hudson : Thieves always return to the scene of the crime, lass. I learned that from the television. Angela : I thought you said I wasn't supposed to believe everything I saw on television... Elisa Maza : Shapeshifters, elves, fairies... you mean they're real? Hudson : As real as I am, if the stories be true. Lexington : [walking into the TV room] Hey, it's The Pack! Brooklyn : Cool!
