![]() Ron Howard Quotation[When asked about the transition from child star to adolescent actor] "You're 14 or 15, and they can hire an 18-year-old and not have the child-labor law restrictions, and so they do. Just at the point when you're feeling confused and vulnerable, you're being rejected." "It was always my dream to be a director. A lot of it had to do with controlling my own destiny, because as a young actor you feel at everyone's disposal. But I wanted to become a leader in the business." Movie Title: American Graffiti (1973) as Steve Bolander: Mr. Kroot : All right, Bolander, break that up. You know the rules. You and your girlfriend want to do that, go someplace else, huh? Steve Bolander : Hey, Kroot! Why don't you go kiss a duck? Mr. Kroot : What did you say? Steve Bolander : I said, go kiss a duck, marblehead. Mr. Kroot : OK, Bolander, you are suspended. Don't - don't even come in on Monday. You're out, you're out! Steve Bolander : Hey, hey, Kroot. I graduated last semester. Remember? Steve Bolander : Where are you going? It's awfully early in the morning. Curt Henderson : [pause] I have a dentist appointment. [first lines] Terry : Hey, what do you say Curt! Last night in town - you guys gonna have a little bash before you leave? Steve Bolander : The Moose have been looking for you all day. [hands check to Curt] Steve Bolander : They got worried - thought you were trying to avoid them or something. Terry : What is it? What do ya got? Curt Henderson : Oh, great. Terry : That's $2000 man! $2000! Steve Bolander : Mr. Jennings gave it to me to give to you. He says he's sorry it's so late but it's the first scholarship the Moose Lodge has given out. And he, uh, says they're all very proud of you back at the lodge. Curt Henderson : Cute. Why don't you hold it for me for awhile? Steve Bolander : Hey, I don't want it. Take it - it's yours. Terry : I'll take it! Movie Title: The Spikes Gang (1974) as Les Richter: Harry Spikes : You brought down a big one boys. There's a bounty on ya. They don't care if you're cold or warm, they'll pay $1500 for each one of ya. Les Richter : Well, that makes us sitting ducks, don't it... not knowing which way we're going to get flushed. Harry Spikes : That's the game. [The Spikes Gang plans its first bank robbery] Harry Spikes : They keep the money in back in the vault. They keep some money in the drawer up front. It ain't much, but we'll take it to allay the cause. Les Richter : What if they don't want to give it to us? Harry Spikes : Well, then they're dead men for sure. Remember boys, there is no arrest or trial for this crime - only convictions. Harry Spikes : Well, you boys left the farm and you had some trouble. You've seen some of the world. How do you find it? Les Richter : We ain't really seen that much of it. We've been chased through it! Les Richter : Well, one thing for sure - I can't die any poorer than I started. Woman: What do you want? Will Young : Oh, we was wondering if we could do some chores in exchange for a dollar. Swill your pigs, clean out your barn... whatever you say. Woman: You can scat! I don't hire saddle tramps. Les Richter : Ain't you heard lady? Money is like manure. It's only good when you spread it around.

Richie Cunningham : Seventy-two. Howard Cunningham : I think it's time for some teeny-weeny cups of coffee. [watching a Chicago Bears football game in 1956] Ralph Malph : That Bears quarterback is no good. He's washed up. He's 30. Richie Cunningham : That's ridiculous. George Blanda still has a few more good years left. Richie Cunningham : So how did you do on that social studies test? Potsie Weber : I missed that question on Alaska. I hear they want to make it a state now. Richie Cunningham : That'll never happen. The Fonz : You're dreaming about a girl you've never met?
