Granddaddy Clisby Quote #4

Quote from Granddaddy Clisby in Independence Day

Kim: Okay, Granddaddy. Next stop is the hardware store.
Granddaddy Clisby: Well, you're going the wrong way. I'm going to Mercer's down there on Dexter.
Cory: Dean, that's the opposite way of the mall.
Dean: Yeah, Cory's right. We're gonna miss all the fun.
Kim: Why that one? Aren't all wrenches the same?
Granddaddy Clisby: Oh, young lady, all you need to know about tools is which one to pass your husband when he's fixing the sink. [Kim sighs] The stores on this side of town don't like us, so take me to a store where there's Negro clerks that don't follow me around and ask me for my money just so they can be sure I can pay.
Kim: Okay, but we have to stop at the grocery store and the dry cleaner before we get there. [Granddaddy Clisby groans]
Dean: No! Everybody's waiting for us at the mall. If we make all those stops, they'll be gone by the time we get there.
Granddaddy Clisby: If Mercer's sell out of those new soldering irons, I'm going to get mean, and you guys don't want to see that!

Dean: It was like watching a drunk turtle.
Lillian: Well, it was worse than that. He had a fender-bender. Left the car and walked home. They called a tow truck, but he couldn't remember where he left it.
Bill: [sighs] I guess it's time.
Lillian: Yeah. Everybody's time comes sooner or later. I know it's hard, but you're doing the right thing, and you're doing it because you love him.
Dean: It's okay, Dad. He'll be in a better place, like Buster.
Adult Dean: I didn't exactly know what they were talking about, but it sounded like when my dog Buster had to go to a big farm in the sky.
Bill: What? Boy, we're talking about stopping your granddad from driving, not putting him down.
Dean: Oh!

Quote from Granddaddy Clisby

Dean: I thought we weren't leaving for two more hours.
Kim: We're not, but Granddaddy didn't want to wait while I shop for my... delicates.
Granddaddy Clisby: Well, now, ladies underwear ain't no place for a grown man to be waiting. Shouldn't even have to be looking at it.

Brad: Why isn't there a mall in your neighborhood?
Adult Dean: Oh, you just wait, Brad. One day that mall by your house will be the Black mall.

Brad: Well, you guys should just move closer.
Adult Dean: Brad really needed to watch the news sometimes.
