Burt Johnson Quotes in Arthur (1981)

Burt Johnson: I don't drink because drinking affects your decision-making.

Arthur: You may be right. I can't decide.

Burt Johnson: Hello, Arthur.

Arthur: Hello, Mr. Johnson.

Burt Johnson: I haven't seen much of you lately.

Arthur: Well, the reason you haven't seen much of me is because I, I normally pick Susan up at her apartment in town. And you live here. Want a drink?

Burt Johnson: I never drink. No one in my family ever drinks.

Arthur: That's great! You probably never run out of ice your whole life!

Arthur: [pointing at a mounted moose on the wall] Where's the rest of this moose?

Burt Johnson: Arthur, I think it's time we got to know one another.

Arthur: I do too. That's why I had to come over today. Hmhmhmhm. This is a tough room.

Arthur: [patting the moose] I don't have to tell you that.

Arthur: You must've hated this moose.

Burt Johnson: Why don't you forget the moose for a moment!

Arthur: [looks at the moose; then, to Burt] Right.

Burt Johnson: [smiling broadly] When I was 11 years old, I KILLED a man.

Arthur: Well, when you're 11 you probably don't even know there's a law against that. Is Susan here?

Burt Johnson: I knew what I was doing. We were poor. He came into our house to steal our food.

Arthur: Well, he was asking for it.

Burt Johnson: I took a knife, and I killed him in the kitchen.

Arthur: You, uh... probably ate out that night, what with that man lying in your kitchen.

Burt Johnson: You seem to find humor in everything.

Arthur: Yeah, sorry.
