Jonathan Kingsley Quotes in The Impossible Years (1968)

Linda Kingsley: [her parents are trying to get her to clean up her very messy room] How can you make such a big deal out of one little messy room when this whole world is flying apart? Crime on the streets! Strontium-90 in our milk! Push-button warfare! Why, do you realize that at any moment, we might be *blasted* off the face of this earth?

Jonathan Kingsley: All right. So we'll be blasted. But when we are, you are going with a clean room!

Bartholmew Smuts: [Looking at a painting hanging over Dr. Kingley's fireplace] Hey, man. That is a pretty groovy reproduction!

Jonathan Kingsley: That is no reproduction. That is an original Matisse.

Bartholmew Smuts: An original copy, you mean. Matisse never used a brush stroke like that in his life. Where did you buy this phony?

Jonathan Kingsley: From a patient of mine who happens to be an art dealer.

Bartholmew Smuts: That patient's cured, man. *You* belong on the couch.

Jonathan Kingsley: What are you implying by "she led him on"?

Dr. Herbert Fleischer: Well, my son is an innocent. Which is more than I can say for your daughter.

Jonathan Kingsley: Go on implying, but keep your guard up.

Dr. Herbert Fleischer: Well, doctor-to-doctor, you better know something, Doctor.

Jonathan Kingsley: Like what?

Dr. Herbert Fleischer: Well, I concluded her medical yesterday. And to put it unmedically, your daughter no longer qualifies as a spinster.

Jonathan Kingsley: Do you mean precisely what I think you mean?

Dr. Herbert Fleischer: Precisely.
