Momma:
You're my knight in shimmering armor. Did you know that?
Gilbert:
I think you mean shining.
Momma:
No shimmering. You shimmer, and you glow.
Tucker:
How's momma?
Gilbert:
She's fat.
Tucker:
Come on man. She's not all that big, Gilbert.
Gilbert:
What?
Tucker:
Listen, I saw a guy at the state fair that was... a little bit bigger.
Gilbert:
A little bit bigger?
Tucker:
Look, all I'm sayin is that she's not the biggest I ever seen, okay?
Gilbert:
Tucker, she's a whale!
Tucker:
Well take her out for a walk once and while.
Gilbert:
Take her out for a jog!
Arnie:
She's a whale! Tucker, she's a whale!
Arnie:
Mama, I want hot dogs. I want hot dogs, Mama.

OK, Sunshine, you can have hot dogs.
Gilbert:
You know what? You're such a big boy.
Arnie:
Yeah!
Gilbert:
You're such a big boy.
Arnie:
I'm a big boy!
Gilbert:
You know what? I bet you could do this all by yourself if you really wanted to. Could you do this by yourself?
Arnie:
I'm a big boy!
Gilbert:
Yeah, you're a big boy. Now take this...
Arnie:
Take this.
Gilbert:
Wash everything, your towels are there.
Arnie:
Okay!
Gilbert:
And your robe is there.
Arnie:
Okay! The big boy is gonna wash himself!
Becky:
I love the sky. It's so limitless.
Gilbert:
It is big. It's very big.
Becky:
Big doesn't even sum it up, right? That word big is so small.
Arnie:
Match in the gas tank, *boom* *boom*!
Arnie:
I'm having a birthday party, but you're not invited, but you can come if you want.
Becky:
Tell me what you want as fast as it comes to you.
Gilbert:
I wanna be a good person.
Arnie Grape:
Good night to you but not me.

Arnie jumps onto Gilbert's back]
Gilbert:
God Arnie, you're getting so big. Pretty soon I ain't gonna be able to carry you no more.
Arnie Grape:
No, you're getting littler Gilbert. You're getting littler, you're shrinking! You're shrinking Gilbert, you're shrinking! Shrinking, shrinking, shrinking!
Gilbert:

Arnie:
Say "thank you," Gilbert. "Thank you."
Gilbert:
[
whispering] Thank you.
Arnie Grape:
I killed him Gilbert , I killed him!
Gilbert:
[
climbing of the water tower] It's not going to happen again. This is the last time. Right Arnie?
Arnie:
It's the last time.
Gilbert:
Okay. Let's go.

But I want to go back up there again.
Arnie Grape:

In the middle of Mr. Carver's funeral] Gilbert, it's the Burger Barn! It's the Burger Barn, Gilbert, the Burger Barn!
Gilbert:
We don't really move, we'd like to but... my mom is sort of attached to the house. Attached isn't really the right word, she's pretty much wedged in.
Gilbert:
Ellen?
Ellen Grape:
What?
Gilbert:
Could you not talk with your mouthful?
Ellen Grape:
Excuse me?
Gilbert:
You're making me sick, I'm gonna throw up.
Ellen Grape:
Oh, okay, dad. Sure thing, dad.

Becky:
It's a praying mantis. Do you know how they mate? The male will sneak up on the female and she'll bite off his head and the rest of his body will keep on mating and when they're done... She'll eat him. She'll eat the rest of him.
