Mrs. Copperbottom Quotes in Robots (2005)

Mrs. Copperbottom: I told you I'd find him! It's a mother's instinct.

Herb Copperbottom: What instinct? He left us a note, "I'm leaving, I'll be at the train station."

[Herb has just been running through the town, yelling "I'm going to be a dad!" and runs into his house, where Mrs. Copperbottom is standing next to a window]

Mrs. Copperbottom: Oh, honey, I'm so sorry. You missed the delivery.

Herb Copperbottom: Oh!

Mrs. Copperbottom: [holds up a box with a picture of a robot on it] But it's okay. Making the baby's the fun part.

[after they have assembled Rodney]

Mrs. Copperbottom: Honey?

Mr. Copperbottom: What?

Mrs. Copperbottom: What's that extra piece?

Mr. Copperbottom: Oh. Oh, no, they always put in an extra...

[Takes a good look at the piece]

Mr. Copperbottom: [chuckles] We did want a boy, right?

[He takes the piece and a hammer]

Mr. Copperbottom: This won't hurt a bit, son.

[He hammers the piece in, Rodney cries]
