-
Walter Stratford : Hello, Katarina. Make anyone cry today?
Kat Stratford : Sadly, no. But it's only 4:30.
-
Kat Stratford : We're going now.
Walter Stratford : Alright, wait a minute. No drinking, no drugs, no kissing, no tattoos, no piercings, *no* ritual animal slaughters of any kind. Oh, God, I'm giving them ideas.
-
Walter Stratford : Where's your sister going?
Kat Stratford : She's meeting some bikers. Big ones. Full of sperm.
Walter Stratford : Funny.
-
Walter Stratford : [Bianca and Chastity are sneaking past Bianca's father] Shoulda used the window!
Bianca : Hi Daddy!
Walter Stratford : Hi... where're we going?
Bianca : Well, if you must know... a small study group of friends.
Walter Stratford : Otherwise known as an orgy?
Chastity : Mr. Stratford, it's just a party!
Walter Stratford : And hell is just a sauna.
-
Walter Stratford : This morning, I delivered a set of twins to a fifteen-year-old girl, do you know what she said to me?
Bianca : "I'm a crack-whore who should have made my skeazy boyfriend wear a condom"?
Walter Stratford : Close, but no. She said, "I should have listened to my father".
Bianca : She did not.
Walter Stratford : Well, that's what she would have said if she wasn't so doped up!
-
Bianca : But she's a mutant! What if she never dates?
Walter Stratford : Then you'll never date. Oh, I like that.
-
Walter Stratford : You know fathers don't like to admit it when their daughters are capable of running their own lives. It means we've become spectators. Bianca still let's me play a few innings - you've had me on the bench for years. When you go to Sarah Lawrence, I won't even be able to watch the game.
Kat Stratford : *When* I go?
Walter Stratford : Oh, boy. Don't tell me you changed your mind. I already sent 'em a check.
[Kat gasps in surprise, then hugs her father]
-
Walter Stratford : I'm down, I've got the 411, and you are not going out and getting jiggy with some boy, I don't care how dope his ride is. My momma didn't raise no foo'!
-
Walter Stratford : Do you know what happens at proms?
Bianca : Yes. We'll dance, we'll kiss, we'll come home. It's not quite the crisis situation you imagine.
Walter Stratford : Kissing? That's what you think happens? I've got news for you. Kissing isn't what keeps me up to my elbows in placenta all day long.
Bianca : Can we, for two seconds, ignore the fact that you're severely unhinged and discuss my need for a night of teenage normalcy?
Walter Stratford : What's normal? Those damn... Dawson's river kids sleeping in each other's beds and whatnot?
Bianca : Daddy that is so not...
Walter Stratford : I've got news for you. I'm down, I've got the 411, and you are not going out and getting jiggy with some boy, I don't care how dope his ride is. Mamma didn't raise no fool.
-
Bianca : People expect me to be there!
Walter Stratford : Kat's not going, you're not going!
Bianca : Why can't you be normal?
Kat Stratford : Define normal.
Bianca : Bogey Lowenstein's party is normal.
Walter Stratford : What's a Bogey Lowenstein?
Kat Stratford : Bogey's party is just a lame excuse for all the idiots at our school to drink beer and rub up against each other in hopes of distracting themselves from the pathetic emptiness of their meaningless...
-
Walter Stratford : And I'll get to sleep at night. The deep slumber of a father whose daughters aren't out being impregnated.
-
Walter Stratford : You're 18, you don't know what you want. And you won't know what you want 'til you're 45, and even if you get it, you'll be too old to use it.
-
Walter Stratford : My insurance does not cover PMS!
Kat Stratford : Well then, tell them I had a seizure.
-
Walter Stratford : What are the two house rules? Number One: No dating till you graduate. Number Two: No dating till you graduate.
-
Walter Stratford : I know who you wanna bend the rules for. It's that hot-rod Joey.
Bianca : What's a hot-rod?
-
Bianca : Can we for two seconds ignore the fact that you're severely unhinged and discuss my need for a night of teenage normalcy?
Walter Stratford : What's normal? Those damn Dawson's River kids, sleeping in each other's beds and whatnot?
-
Walter Stratford : So, tell me about this dance, was it hoppin'?
Kat Stratford : Ugh. Parts of it.
Walter Stratford : Which parts?
Kat Stratford : [laughingly] The part where Bianca beat the hell out of some guy.
Walter Stratford : Bianca did what?
Kat Stratford : What's the matter, upset that I rubbed off on her?
Walter Stratford : [proud] No, impressed.
