Robert Grant Quotes in Dunston Checks In (1996)

Robert Grant: You got to get out of here. Mrs. Dubrow hates kids. She once kicked Big Bird in the nuts.

Robert Grant: Kyle, I know you're upset about the vacation, but that is no excuse to throw a guest's dog into the garbage.

Kyle Grant: I didn't throw him in the garbage.

Robert Grant: Then, what happened? No, no, don't tell me, let me guess. You decided to give him a coffee-ground bath to improve his coat.

Kyle Grant: He jumped off the dog walk.

Robert Grant: The dog is suicidal? Is that what you're trying to tell me?

Kyle Grant: He smelled the monster on the ledge and jumped over.

Robert Grant: Oh, it makes perfect sense now. He smelled the monster on the ledge. It is the smelly ledge monster.

Robert Grant: I will give you one week paid vacation if you go running out of this office crying.

Consuelo: [Consuelo starts up tears] Hoo hoo hoo hoo. Ahhhhh.

Mrs. Dubrow: Where did it come from?

La Farge: Well, when two orangutans fall in love...

Robert Grant: I think she means how did it get into the hotel.

Victor: Fluffy towels.

Robert Grant: Excuse me.

Victor: Our guests want fluffy towels. Talk to laundry.

Brian: You do realize we'll probably end up living in a Motel 6?

Robert Grant: Yep! Sounds pretty good to me.

Mary Grant: Robert! Hold on!

Robert Grant: I don't have to! She won't let go!

Jacques Paganel: This is true. She will not let go until she reaches her nest.

Mary Grant: Reaches her nest?

Jacques Paganel: Yes. High in the mountains. No doubt she has little ones that must...

Mary Grant: Oh!

[Paganel abruptly stops talking]

Mary Grant: Oh!

Robert Grant: [singing with poor pronunciation] Grimpons, grimpons, grimpons, grimpons, grimpons.

Jacques Paganel: No, no. *Grimpons*.

Robert Grant: Grimpons.

Jacques Paganel: That means: Let's climb. It is the French recipe for the good life. Whatever you want to do, don't be afraid to do it for fear of failure.

Chief Thalcave: Much rain there. You sleep in tree. May come flood.

Lord Glenarvan: Flood! By George, that's a good one!

Jacques Paganel: Giant ombu tree. Phytolacca dioica. Aha! Magnificent specimen!

Robert Grant: Oh, *please*, may we sleep in it?

Lord Glenarvan: You can sleep where you like, but I certainly don't intend to roost in a tree like a confounded sparrow. Pitch my tent just here.

Jacques Paganel: Merci merci merci beaucoup, merci milord Glenarvan!

[the group starts to dance around Glenarvan]

Jacques Paganel, Mary Grant, Robert Grant, John Glenarvan: Merci merci merci beaucoup, merci milord Glenarvan!

Jacques Paganel: Hooray!

Lord Glenarvan: Earthquake? Who said anything about an earthquake?

Jacques Paganel: Ah... I'm so stupid... milord. I didn't realize it until later. The Indian. When he did uh, uh, that, you see? He did not mean it was cold, no. He meant: tranco *piray*: earth *quake*. This is the land of many earthquakes.

Lord Glenarvan: Oh gracious me.

Jacques Paganel: In the whole world, no place has such big, such beautiful, such magnificent earthquakes as right here. But - huh-huh! - it is one chance in a million we should be so *fortunate*.

Lord Glenarvan: Heh-heh. Ye - Ye - Yes, of course, quite right. Besides, this place looks it's been here hundreds of years, doesn't it? I mean, uh, it's safe to assume that it will last one more night... *Hey*? *Oui*, monsieur?

Jacques Paganel: Oui, milord.

Robert Grant: And I'll wake you up if one comes, your lordship.

Robert Grant: It's a tiger!

Jacques Paganel: No no! It's a jaguar! Felis onca!

Lord Glenarvan: Get that beast outta here!

Harris: You don't look like anyone who would shoot a man down in cold blood.

Robert Grant: You're right. You better look close, Harris, and you'll see that I'm serious. After all, that time I spent in prison for you, you still think I wouldn't shoot?

Harris: All we've got to do is tear this up and we're in soft for the rest of our lives.

Robert Grant: None of that, Harris. We're playing this game straight.

Harris: Don't be a fool. We can have an entire kingdom at your feet.

Robert Grant: You heard what I said. I'm playing this straight.
