• Diane : I don't understand any of this.

  Wayne : Around every electrical operating device, there's a flux. Like an electromagnetic force field.

  Clifford Sterling : That's what's causing the baby to grow.

  Marshall Brooks : Would this electromagnetic... would it surround neon lights too?

  Wayne : Yeah, why?

  Marshall Brooks : Your kid. He's heading toward Las Vegas.

  Diane , Wayne , Clifford Sterling : Uh-oh.

• Wayne : You think I'm just some guy from Fresno who tinkered with crack pot ideas in his attic? Well let me tell you something, this country was built on the shoulders of people who tinkered with crack pot ideas in their attics, basements and backyards. Alexander Graham Bell worked in a two room flat!

  Clifford Sterling : Young man, don't presume to stand there and lecture me about great minds and great inventors. In all my years I've never worked with anyone who is a fool and I don't intend to start now. So, Charles, you're fired.

  Dr. Charles Hendrickson : What?

  Clifford Sterling : You're fired! So, Szalinski, what is your plan to get your kid back to normal by bed time?

• Dr. Charles Hendrickson : [after Adam is back to normal size, to Wayne]  Well, Szalinski, you pulled it off. Who would have thought?

  Diane : Dr. Hendrickson, that looked like some sort of rifle that you were shooting at my baby.

  Dr. Charles Hendrickson : They were tranquilizer cartridges. They wouldn't have hurt him, I assure you.

  Diane : Oh...

  [turns to Wayne and Clifford] 

  Diane : [does not buy it]  Tranquilizer cartridges.

  [Diane slugs Charles knocking him unconscious making him fall on the street] 

  Wayne : [to Adam]  Never cross Mommy.

  Clifford Sterling : We got an emergency here! Dr. Hendrickson needs help. He's overcome with the prospect of having to find a new career.

• Wayne : Mr. Sterling, sir, I can return my son back to normal!

  Clifford Sterling : You can?

  Dr. Charles Hendrickson : With what, Szalinski? Coca Cola bottles? Perhaps some chewing gum and twine?

  Diane : Just who do you think you are talking to him like that?

  Wayne : Diane, let me handle this. Who do you think you are talking to me like that?

• [Diane grabs a megaphone] 

  Diane : Adam Szalinski... this is your mommy talking... YOU STOP RIGHT NOW

  [Adam keeps walking] 

  Clifford Sterling : That wouldn't do any good Mrs Szalinski... surely he expects his mommy to be bigger than he is... to him, you're just... well you're nothing more than a talking doll
