Mr. Peabody Quotes in Mr. Peabody & Sherman (2014)

Penny Peterson: I'm not Penny anymore. Now, I'm Princess Hatsheput, precious flower of the Nile.

Mr. Peabody: "Precious," perhaps, but if you think we're going to leave you here, you are most definitely in "de-Nile."

Sherman: [laughs] I don't get it.

Judge: Mr. Peabody, you are a Nobel Prize-winning scientist. An advisor to heads of state. A captain of industry. Why would you want to adopt a boy?

Mr. Peabody: Because, your honor, when I found Sherman, it reminded me of how I started out in life. And now, I want to give him the one thing I always wanted. A home.

Judge: And you're sure you're capable of meeting *all* the challenges of raising a human boy?

Mr. Peabody: With all due respect, how hard could it be?

Mr. Peabody: Why can't children be so simple?

Leonardo da Vinci: Because children are not machines, Peabody. Believe me, I tried to build one. Oh! It was creepy.

Sherman: I love you, Mr. Peabody.

Mr. Peabody: [after momentarily searching the right answer for him] for I have a deep regard for you as well, Sherman.

[later on]

Mr. Peabody: I... I love you, Sherman.

Sherman: [With a warm understanding smile] I have a deep regard for you as well, Mr. Peabody.

[last lines]

Mr. Peabody: No doubt about it. Every dog should have a boy.

Paul Peterson: So, he's literally a dog.

Patty Peterson: Paul!

Mr. Peabody: No, that's all right. Although, I prefer the term "literate dog."

Mr. Peabody: Sherman, sit!

Sherman: You can't talk to me like that. I'm not a dog.

Mr. Peabody: What did you say?

Sherman: I said, I'm not a dog!

Mr. Peabody: You're right, Sherman, you're not. You're just a very bad boy!

Sherman: [as Peabody is being dragged into a wagon] Wait! Give him another chance!

Ms. Grunion: He's through with chances. Now, he has to pay for his mistakes.

Sherman: But I'm the one who made all the mistakes. I'm the one who used the WABAC without permission. The only mistake Mr. Peabody ever made... was me.

Mr. Peabody: [almost heartbroken] Sherman.

Ms. Grunion: You're absolutely right, Sherman. What kind of a father could this dog ever be to a boy?

Sherman: Maybe you're right, Ms. Grunion. But there's one thing you haven't considered.

Ms. Grunion: What's that?

Sherman: [proudly] I'm a dog, too! If being a dog means you're like Mr. Peabody, who never turns his back on you, and who's always there to pick you up when you fall, and loves you no matter how many times you mess up... if that's what it means to be a dog... then, yeah, I'm a dog, too!

Mr. Peabody: I received my degree at Harvard. Vale-dog-torian, of course.

[Mr. Peabody holds a baby Sherman in his hands]

Sherman: Da-da!

Mr. Peabody: No, Sherman, not Da-da. You shall call me Mr. Peabody. Or, in less formal moments, simply Peabody.

Sherman: Mepa Pea-baba?

Mr. Peabody: That's right, Mr. Pea-baba.

[King Tut arrives]

Sherman: Who's that, Mr. Peabody?

Mr. Peabody: That, Sherman, is the living image of Amun, son of Akhenaten, lord of the 18th Dynasty of the New Kingdom, King Tutankhamun. Otherwise know as King Tut.

Penny Peterson: My boyfriend.

Sherman: King Tut is your boyfriend?

Penny Peterson: Mm-hmm.

Mr. Peabody: Interestingly, that's not water.

[Mr. Peabody & Sherman come across the booby trap in the Sphinx]

[from trailer]

Mr. Peabody: It seems we've ripped a hole in the space-time continuum...

Sherman: Looks like the past is coming to us!

Mr. Peabody: [from the first timeline] You know what they say... "If at first you don't succeed, Troy, Troy again."

Mr. Peabody: [from the second timeline] This is no time for puns! Even good ones.

Mr. Peabody: [after Sherman travels to a timeline in which he still exists] Sherman, I've got to get you out of here before you touch yourself.

[from trailer]

Mr. Peabody: You used time-travel improperly... we must rewrite history in order to save the universe!

Mr. Peabody: Sherman, don't you remember why I told you to stay close to me during the French Revolution?

Sherman: Because after the French Revolution, it was gonna rain?

Mr. Peabody: Close. I said "After the French Revolution comes... the Reign of Terror!"

Mr. Peabody: [after hypnotizing Penny's parents] I learned that from a swami at the Begawan Giri in Ubud, Bali.

Mr. Peabody: So, what did you learn today, Sherman?

Sherman: That the French Revolution was crazy.

Mr. Peabody: How so?

Sherman: All those guys getting their heads chopped off, and nobody standing up and saying it wasn't right.

Mr. Peabody: And think, Marie Antoinette could have avoided the whole revolution if she'd simply issued an edict to distribute bread amongst the poor. But then, she couldn't have had her desert.

Sherman: Why not, Me. Peabody?

Mr. Peabody: Because, Sherman, you can't have your cake and edict, too.

Sherman: [laughs] I don't get it.

Mr. Peabody: Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, they get married too young in Ancient Egypt... or perhaps I'm just some old Giza.

Mr. Peabody: He is Ay.

Sherman: He is you?

Ay: I am Ay. The Grand Vizier.

Penny Peterson: [to Sherman] Ugh! What's the Egyptian word for "tattle-tale?"

Mr. Peabody: Mufshi asur. But that's beside the point. Get your clothes on, we're going home.

Penny Peterson: Who died and made you Pharaoh?

Sherman: Where are we going today, Mr. Peabody?

Mr. Peabody: Not "where," Sherman... "When."

Sherman: Why not go to the future?

Mr. Peabody: The future?

Sherman: I've never been there before, so it's probably not as messed up.

Mr. Peabody: If I didn't know any better, Sherman, I wouldd say you were jealous.

Sherman: Jealous? Of what?

Mr. Peabody: Tut's affection for Penny, of course.

Sherman: You think I *like* Penny?

Mr. Peabody: Mm-hmm.

Mr. Peabody: This is the greatest collection of geniuses ever assembled! Surely we can come up with another way of getting to the past.

Leonardo da Vinci: I can-a build a catapult. And, we go very fast.

Albert Einstein: But, remember, as you approach the speed of light, gravity will get too strong.

Isaac Newton: Oh, indeed. "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."

Agamemnon: How about we just punch that big hole in the face?

Leonardo da Vinci: Hey, look, Peabody! It's my flying machine! My flying machine?

Mr. Peabody: Sherman. Sherman? Sherman, what are you doing up there?

Sherman: I'm flying!

Mr. Peabody: But, Sherman, you don't know how to fly!

Sherman: I don't?

Penny Peterson: Sherman flew a plane. He was amazing!

Mr. Peabody: Sherman destroyed a priceless historical artifact.

Penny Peterson: Whatever. You should be happy. It turns out Sherman is not a complete and total loser, after all.

Sherman: Yeah, Mr. Peabody. It turns out I'm not a complete and total loser, after all.

Mr. Peabody: Share your interests. Make it work. Don't tell her about the waybac!

Sherman: Hi, Penny.

Penny Peterson: Hello, Sherman.

Flo Healy: There's nothing to discuss!

Little Ben Healy: We're signing him back over to you right now!

Mr. Peabody: Bad parents make bad children!

Flo Healy: Oh so now I'm a bad parent just because I hate my kid!

Mr. Peabody: You took him, he's yours!

Little Ben Healy: That's because you conned us into him!

Mr. Peabody: What am I supposed to do with the little creep? He's already been returned 30 times!

Flo Healy: Well this makes 31 Charlie!

Mr. Peabody: OK Mr. and Mrs. "We don't care about brown hair and brown eyes. We just want him into our home and let him play with our disgusting cat."!

Junior: Hahahahahaha!

Mr. Peabody: What's so funny?

Mr. Peabody: Send the little sweetheart in.

Mr. Peabody: Screw you pal! I can talk that way to anyone however I want!

Junior: But my dad said the 3rd grade is the foundation of my education.

Mr. Peabody: Oh, your dad said that. Your dad is a Moron. He's a moron, you know what a moron is?, that's what your dad is.
