George Banks: Mr Habeeb, this is not a piece of land. This is my home and I'm gonna be a father again and I don't want to bring my baby home to a condo on the beach! I wanna drive down that street and I wanna pull into this driveway and I wanna honk my horn.
George Banks: Now, going to the movies, that'll be economical: one child, two seniors, thanks.
Nina Banks: Just because we're older doesn't mean we're old. This is the 90s.
George Banks: We could sell this house in a second. It's the Leave It to Beaver house that everybody wants.
Mr Habeeb: Commence to start.
Matty Banks: How would you like to go through life with the name Cooper Banks-Mackenzie? The kid's gonna sound like a law firm.
Matty Banks: I'm, 4-foot 6, I don't shave, I don't have a job, and I'm gonna be an uncle. Is there something weird about that?
George Banks: Finally, someone who thinks like I do.
Nina Banks: Oh, yeah, a 12 year old.
George Banks: What am I supposed to do? Sleep standing up?
