Sometimes a Great Notion

Henry Stamper:
Why don't you show us some of that university learnin'... say something to us in trigonometry. Go on! Say something to us in trigonom'.

[repeated lines]

Henry Stamper:
Where did you get all that hair?

Leland Stamper:
It grows.

Henry Stamper:
[commenting on watching Leland wake up] He looked just like Rita Hayworth!

Hank Stamper:
Well, good luck.

Willard Eggleston:
[amazed at his apathy] Good luck?

Hank Stamper:
Well, yeah, Willard. Now, you have to admit, it's better than "best wishes" or "bon voyage," so take it how I'm givin' it to you. Good luck, Willard!

[repeated line]

Henry Stamper:
I've got contracts to fill, eggs to hatch and cats to kill.

Hank Stamper:
[after Leeland removes his shirt to investigate a bug-bite] Where'd you learn the strip act? In college?

Andy Stamper:
[about sliding down a very big hill] The first step's a b*tch!

Hank Stamper:
[singing] Don't ever hit your mother with a shovel. It will leave a dull impression on her mind. Paul Newman said the same line in "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid".

[first lines]

Floyd Evenwrite:
He's been over there a while. Ya think he's doing any good?

Biggy Newton:
[shrugs]

Floyd Evenwrite:
I got payments to make on a Chevrolet. Goddamn scabs over there!

Henry Stamper:
I lost myself a son, he comes back a daughter. We'd you get all that hair?

Leland Stamper:
Neat work you guys do up here.

Henry Stamper:
Well Leeland, all ya gotta do is find something else for mommy to wipe baby's little butt with, and all this nest work's outa business.

Viv Stamper:
Why didn't you go hunting?

Leland Stamper:
I don't know. I guess I'd want the fox to win.

[last lines]

Floyd Evenwrite:
That goddman family.

Man:
You know, Hank, I thought all of you dinosaurs were dead.

Hank Stamper:
Well, if they want this one, they're gonna have to shoot 'em. Just like King Kong, yuh gotta knock 'em down.

Hank Stamper:
People do what they want, kid. I don't tell 'em what to do.
