Quotes
-
David McLean : My God. How your kids must hate you.
George Hadley : Hate us? But we've done nothing.
David McLean : Right. When was the last time you did something yourself, for your kids?
George Hadley : But we do things all the time.
David McLean : No! I don't mean switching on the video or the digital disc player. Ever play tennis? Badminton? Kick the can? Hide and seek, OUT THERE? I mean there IS a world, outside this house.
George Hadley : I know, but what about the nursery?
David McLean : Turn it off. Lock it up! As matter of fact, turn off the whole house. Go jump in the lake, go climb a mountain, go!
Lydia Hadley : Just as I've been saying, it's rotten, isn't it?
David McLean : Just turn it off.
