Dr. Terminus Quotes in Pete's Dragon (1977)

Dr. Terminus: I hate Pa - pa - Pastahazootie, or whatever the name of this town is.

Hoagy: Quoddy.

Dr. Terminus: Yeah. I don't want to cure anybody here. They all deserve to have whatever they have.

Pete: I can't sell you Elliot. I don't own him.

Hoagy: Well what did you do, rent him?

Dr. Terminus: Well who owns him?

Pete: No one, I guess. He just sort of goes to those who need him.

Dr. Terminus: *I* need him! Look deliver Elliot to me and the fiver is yours plus a special growth formula that's guaranteed to bring on puberty about a year early... and that's better than a dragon, eh?

Dr. Terminus: Why do I hear a bell ringing?

Hoagy: School must be out.

Dr. Terminus: It's too early, stupid.

Hoagy: [trying to tell Dr. Terminus about seeing Elliott for the first time]

[stutters scarily]

Hoagy: El- El- Dra- Dra...

Dr. Terminus: What is an "El- El-, Dra- Dra-"?

Dr. Terminus: [talking to the Gogans after Elliott crashed their boat and they fell into the water and now they're sick] Excuse me folks, I witnessed what happened today and I'm completely sympathetic with you.

Grover: [offensively] What's "sympathetic" mean?

Dr. Terminus: [explaining the plan to capture Elliott to Hoagy] Got it?

Hoagy: Got it. What I don't got is, how are you gonna get that monster, that hideous beast, that nightmare sent by the devil to come here?

Dr. Terminus: Easy, we get someone he knows to bring him here.

Hoagy: Who'd be crazy enough to do that?

[Dr. Terminus stares at Hoagy]

Hoagy: [screams] NOOOOO! NOOOOOO!

Dr. Terminus: He knows you, he trusts you!

Hoagy: He scares me! He hates ME!
