(What's your favorite line?)
It's a toss-up between "Nada-finga!" and "Fra-JEE-lay. Must be Italian."
A friend of our even wrote Fra-JEE-lay on a moving box of ours once!
"You'll shoot your eye out kid."
"Now, I had heard that word at least ten times a day from my old man. He worked in profanity the way other artists might work in oils or clay."
"In the heat of battle my father wove a tapestry of obscenities that as far as we know is still hanging in space over Lake Michigan."
"Daaaaddy's gonna kill Raaaaaaalphie!"
(Oliveloaf...your last one is probably my true favorite. It reminds me so much of my own dear dad! :))
My favorite part is the daydream about the teacher LOVING his essay:
"A plus! plus! plus! ..."
Flick: "Stuck? Stuck! Stuuuuck! Aaaaaaaa!"
Schwartz: "Wow, it really worked!"
I don't have a favorite line so much as a moment: when Ralphie's dad points out that there's one last present. All through the movie Ralphie was focusing on winning over his mom, his teacher, or Santa to the cause of getting the BB gun and the whole time his old man knew exactly what he wanted.
I'm such a sucker for great dad moments in movies.
Flick? Who's Flick??
Hey, Inigo Montoya! Good to see you. :)
You reminded me of one line I love because it's so old-fashioned teacher-y:
"But those who did it know their blame, and I'm sure that the guilt you feel is far worse than any punishment you might receive."
