George Henderson Sr. Quotes in Harry and the Hendersons (1987)

George Henderson Sr.: I wanted King Kong, you brought me a goddamn giant gerbil. I told you exactly what to do. You didn't even come close.

George Henderson: Maybe it's right on the nose. Maybe it's not vicious at all, Maybe it's gentle and has feelings.

George Henderson Sr.: Where'd you dream up that shit?

[George's father had changed George's kind drawing of Harry to make Harry look like a vicious monster]

George Henderson Sr.: See? You're not the only artist in the family. How's that for an arthritic old shooter, huh?

George Henderson: What the hell did you do that for? It's my drawing! Why'd you change it?

George Henderson Sr.: Cool down, George, it's just a piece of cardboard.

George Henderson: Not to me. It means something to me! Can't you see that he means something to me?

George Henderson Sr.: What the hell are you talking about?

George Henderson: The hell with it! I quit!

[Storms out]

George Henderson Sr.: Over this? You can't quit! We're too busy! Hey, what the hell's the matter with you?
