Cliff Quote #837

Quote from Cliff in The Last Picture Show

Cliff: Yeah, I think you hit the tail right on the donkey with that one, Doc. Yes, it's the superficial trappings of youth that we yearn for. We wish for time to stand still, and why? Because we are afraid of our own mortality. Sure. But sooner or later, it's time for men to put aside childish things because, well, they are no longer childs. So, as a great poet once said, "If I were a child"...
Frasier: You know, Cliff, uh, tell you what, before we take off, why don't you get one more look at that, uh, that little popcorn girl you were telling us about?
Cliff: Hey, yeah.
Frasier: Have one more tub of that popcorn.
Cliff: Yeah, you bet.
Frasier: Tell you what, here.
Cliff: Sweet on me, wasn't she?
Frasier: My treat.
Cliff: Yeah.
Norm: Gonna find another parking spot?
Frasier: Hell, no. We're going home.

Quote from Woody

Frasier: So, this is your precious drive-in? [chuckles] Tin box squawking in our ears, endless parade of people walking in front of the car, a man in a rubber dragon suit stepping on miniature Japanese houses.
Norm: Yeah, you believe they're gonna tear this place down?
Woody: You guys, this couldn't really happen, could it? Hmm? I mean, don't think I'm stupid or anything, but I mean, you know, if there really was atomic testing offshore, and it woke up a dinosaur, and it got affected by the radiation, I mean, you know, not exactly like this, but maybe something pretty close?
Norm: Woody, Woody, Woody, when are you gonna grow up? [chuckles] Course it could happen.

Quote from Cliff

Cliff: Boy, oh, boy, you know, I'll never forget Ma used to take me down there all bundled up in my pyjamas and all, you know. Yeah, as a matter of fact, it was at the Twi-Lite that I first saw Herbie, the Love Bug.
Norm: Cliffie, Herbie, the Love Bug came out in, uh, 1969, and you were born in, uh...
Sam: Oh, please, man, don't. Don't do the math.
