Frankie Cross: A choo-choo train?
Earl Cross: No, it's five pounds of veal.
Frankie Cross: But Daddy I asked Santa for a choo-choo.
Earl Cross: Then go out and get a job and buy a choo-choo.
Trivia: When Frank throws water on a waiter he thought was on fire, he apologizes and claims he thought the waiter was Richard Pryor. This is a reference to the time Richard Pryor, while doing cocaine, set himself on fire and ran down a busy street in L.A.
