Quote from Granddaddy Clisby in Independence Day

Dean: Hey, everyone. Come over here for a minute. So, this is my granddad, Mr. Williams. He's gonna be hanging out with us for a while.
Granddaddy Clisby: Yeah, now, I got a question. Why would young and healthy children want to hang out in this cold mall rather than play in the sunshine outside? I mean, what's so special about this place?
Dean: Well, there's a food court. [murmuring agreement]
Granddaddy Clisby: Boy, you can eat at home.
Cory: And the movies.
Granddaddy Clisby: Well, I never was one for going to the movies. They used to make us sit up in the balcony and see the same shows that other people got to see from the good seats. But your dad used to beg me and beg me to let him go so he could be free with his friends, but it wasn't safe, him to be going around and about where anything could happen to him.
Adult Dean: I began to see why my dad was so overprotective, and maybe it wasn't overprotective. Maybe it was wise.
