Granddaddy Clisby Quote #15
Quote from Granddaddy Clisby in Independence Day
Granddaddy Clisby: Oh, Muhammad Ali should have just gone on into the army. He'd be back in the ring by now.
Coach Long: Well, you know what? I'm glad he took a stand. And I wish more pro athletes would, too.
Granddaddy Clisby: Well, see, I ain't studding them rich Negroes. Bring on the 1968 Summer Olympics. Real athletes, no politics.
Coach Long: Okay. So you don't disagree with any of this country's politics?
Granddaddy Clisby: Son, everybody disagrees with this country's politics. You just got to be ready to serve, see? I served, hmm? My son served. My other grandson is in Vietnam right now. You got to be ready to fight and die for America. Ain't that right, Dean?
Dean: [choking] Uh, yes. Yes, sir.
Adult Dean: Die? [chuckles] I hadn't really thought about all that. But that's what the barbershop was good for... making you think, challenging your assumptions, and giving you a good laugh.
Coach Long: Dean won't take a fastball for his little league team. [laughter] How the hell he ready to die for his country? [laughter]

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.
