Quotes
-
Ricky Stratton : At lunchtime, Dad, he even tasted my food.
Edward Stratton III : Was that necessary, Mr. T?
Mr. T : Look, man - you hired me because I'm the best in the world, and I never lost a client. If there's a gun, I take the bullet. If there's a knife, I take the blade. I don't work for people I ain't willing to die for - and besides, that food in the cafeteria will kill ya!
-
Edward Stratton III : Mr. T is the best; I don't know why you don't like him.
Kate Summers : Well, he scares me.
Edward Stratton III : Kate, he's just like me and you.
Kate Summers : Edward, we don't have mohawks.
Edward Stratton III : Kate, it's not a Mohawk - he's a descendant of the African Mandinka tribe; that's how they wear their hair.
Kate Summers : Edward, we're in New York. It's a mohawk.

Edward Stratton III : [holding out his arms] Ricky!
Ricky Stratton : [hiding his face from his dad with his left hand] Hi, Dad. Good night, Dad.
Edward Stratton III : Hold it. That isn't the eye you left with this morning. What happened to you?
Ricky Stratton : Got hit. Good night.
Edward Stratton III : Good night? It's not even dark yet.
Ricky Stratton : Well, it is to me.

Ricky Stratton : [as he and Edward hug] Dad?
Edward Stratton III : Yeah?
Ricky Stratton : Your shoulder's in my bad eye.
-
Edward Stratton III : When this Ox guy comes up and asks you for the milk money tomorrow, what are you gonna say to him?
Ricky Stratton : Well, I don't know yet, but I'll think of something... . I *have* to. Mr. T. called Ox by his real name today -- Hobart. Ooo, Ox is so mad.
-
Ricky Stratton : In history class, before the teacher came in, this big guy came over to me and told me to give him my milk money.
Edward Stratton III : Well, you didn't give it to him, did you?
Ricky Stratton : No. I told him it was my milk money, and he couldn't have it. Problem is, I don't think he heard me.
Edward Stratton III : Why not?
Ricky Stratton : Well, when I said it, he was standing on my face.
-
Edward Stratton III : You and I are going down there together tomorrow. We're gonna straighten out this bully. What's his name?
Ricky Stratton : Ox.
Edward Stratton III : Ox. Yeah. It's never Rodney, is it?
-
Kate Summers : Ricky, were you fighting?
Ricky Stratton : Well, sort of. The other guy threw the punches, and I caught 'em.
Kate Summers : Why did he hit you?
Ricky Stratton : Well, some kids saw me getting out of the limo this morning, and they put two and two together, and... figured out I was a rich kid.
Edward Stratton III : I knew I shoulda had Jenkins take you in the Ferrari.
