Quote from Goose Grease

Dean: What about one of your war stories, Dad?
Bill: Aw.
Granddaddy Clisby: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tell him about the time that you sliced your finger while cutting a tomato during the Battle of Ham Sandwich. You see, your brother, Bruce, and I fought in combat while your father was banging pots in the safety of the kitchen.
Bill: Well, they say an army marches to battle on its stomach.
Granddaddy Clisby: Well, you got that right. [both laugh]

Quote from Independence Day

Dean: I thought we weren't leaving for two more hours.

Quote from 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.

Keisa: How'd the let you in the army if you were still in junior high?
Granddaddy Clisby: Because I had a full beard and a mustache at 11. [laughter]
Dean: You're funny, Granddad. Thanks for the movie.
Adult Dean: Granddad did me such a huge favor that day. My friends thought he was cool, and that made me cool, too.
Granddaddy Clisby: Let's just keep this R-rated movie between the two of us, all right?

Quote from Independence Day

Granddaddy Clisby: Well, he certainly can't serve in the army with that hair. So, Bray, were you able to do anything with it?
Bray: Well, I trimmed it up. Now your grandson looks nice and neat, like Wicked Wilson Pickett. [laughter]
Coach Long: See, you just don't like the afro style, Mr. Williams.
Granddaddy Clisby: Okay.
Coach Long: [chuckles] Come on, Mr. Williams. Look, you know they say that, uh, Jesus had hair like wool. [laughter]
Granddaddy Clisby: You see, he's just saying that because his hair look like the back end of a fat sheep's dookey. [laughter] Now, that's wrong. [laughter]

Granddaddy Clisby: Oh, good. My goose is here.

Bill: Come on, Lil. Why don't you give me a little piece of that roast?
Lillian: Bill, you had two eggs this morning. You're already over your limit for the day. Come on, it's just 'til you get your numbers down.
Granddaddy Clisby: Mmm! This pot roast is delicious. Well, maybe you could trade one bite for one egg next week. [laughter]
Bill: So this is how it's gonna be?
