Mr. Spaceley Quotes in Jetsons: The Movie (1990)

Mr. Spaceley: I never should've made that dummy George Jetson vice president. When I get home, I'll get a new vice president.

[the Jetsons, Astro, Teddy 2, Fergie, Apollo Blue, Squet and some of the Grungies all rise up into the plant from the ore asteroid below by elevator]

George Jetson: [angrily] You've already got a vice president.

Mr. Spaceley: Jetson?

George Jetson: That's right, Mr. Spacely, that "dummy" George Jetson.

[Mr. Spacely has ordered George via video-phone to shut the plant down, which George does promptly]

George Jetson: It's off, sir.

Mr. Spaceley: And get it started soon. Lost time means lost money. And lost money means lost vice president! Get it?

[George gulps]

Mr. Spaceley: Now what, Jetson? What is this time?

George Jetson: Just another little glitch, Mr. Spaceley!

Mr. Spaceley: Another little glitch, huh?

George Jetson: [shakes the Sprocket off his nose] Yes, sir.

Mr. Spaceley: I think I know what that glitch is, Jetson, and I'm looking at him!

Mr. Spaceley: What'll I do? What'll I do? I can lick this problem, but how? Think, Spacely, think. First I need someone to replace that Throttlebottom. But who?

[yells into the intercom]

Mr. Spaceley: Gertrude!

Gertrude: [she comes in] Yes, Mr. Spacely?

Mr. Spaceley: Take a problem.

[she begins typing]

Mr. Spaceley: We need one: A worker who's total loyalt is to Spacely Sprockets. And, of course, to me: President, CEO, and all-around sweetiepie. Two: someone expendable.

[his image comes up on Gertrude's computer screen]

Mr. Spaceley: Very funny. Three: Smoeone who will work for peanuts. Four: Not too bright. And Five: Someone who can push a button. That's it! Ok, what have you got?

Gertrude: It's thinking, Mr. Spacely. It's thinking.

[the screen flashes a lot of images until it comes to George's picture]

Mr. Spaceley: Jetson? I wouldn't choose Jetson even if Spacely Sprockets was going bankrupt! If I needed a transfusion! If I lost my stockholders! My home! If I were penniless!

[calms down]

Mr. Spaceley: Penniless?

Gertrude: He is expendable.

Mr. Spaceley: Perfect!

Mr. Spaceley: [to Rudy 2] Where's Jetson, and why is the plant shut down?

Rudy 2: It's the middle of the night, sir.

Mr. Spaceley: Machines don't sleep. Start it up! Every second lost means money lost. And money lost means I scream *a lot*!

Mr. Spaceley: [getting slightly panicky] We've had leadership problems
