Here Come the Littles (1985)

Share this quote on facebook [preparing to lower himself into Augustus' chimney from Dinky's glider, via a rope] When the crows leave, land on the roof, and we'll meet you there. Keep the glider steady, and put me in that chimney! [after smacking into the outside chimney wall] I said put me in the chimney, not in the hospital!

Share this quote on facebook Dinky Little: [looking around Augustus' attic for Tom, Lucy and Grandpa] Kids? M-Mr. Little?
Tom Little and Lucy Little: [emerging from a trapdoor] Hi, Dinky!
Dinky Little: [jumps back, yells out with fright, then calms down] Hi, kids. I was just exploring this old place. You know how Daredevil Dinky loves adventure!
Dinky Little: [adjusts his scarf, which gets caught on a nail, cries out] Aaah! Something's grabbing me!
Lucy Little: [dislodging Dinky's scarf] It's just this ferocious nail.

Share this quote on facebook Grandpa Little: [waiting for Dinky's glider to take off] Get going, Dinky!
Dinky Little: Roger! Pilot to navigator: check wind velocity, watch out for birds, chart the course, look out for television antennas, advise me of altitude...
Grandpa Little: Navigator to pilot: SHUT UP!

Share this quote on facebook Tom Little: [referring to Augustus] His voice gives me the creeps; I wonder what he looks like.
Lucy Little: He's probably 20 feet tall, with beady eyes and long, pointy fangs for teeth!
Tom Little: [sarcastically] You're real fun to be with, Lucy.

Share this quote on facebook Grandpa Little: Can't you make this crate go any faster?
Dinky Little: Don't tell me how to fly; I'm the world's greatest pilot! I can tell you...
Grandpa Little: [ties Dinky's scarf over his mouth] Shut up! [as glider spins out of control] Watch out, fool! [falling from the plane] You are the world's greatest knucklehead!

Share this quote on facebook Grandpa Little: [after the pair are spotted by Augustus, who has mistaken them for toys] Good, he thinks we're toys. Pretend you're a toy!
Dinky Little: First I'm a mouse, then bait, now a toy? I never live it down!
Grandpa Little: You cabbage-head! If Augustus finds out who we are, there's no telling what he might do to us!
Dinky Little: I'm a toy! I'm a toy!

Share this quote on facebook Lucy Little: Watch it! Don't fall in!
Tom Little: I never fall; I've got perfect balance!
[Tom yells as he loses his balance and fails into Henry's suitcase, which he had been sitting on the edge of]
Lucy Little: Tom!
Tom Little: Get me out of here!
Lucy Little: [sarcastically] Who could that be calling? It couldn't be my brother, he's got perfect balance!
Tom Little: Will you stop clowning around and give me a hand?

Share this quote on facebook [Grandpa taps his hand against the bulldozer, which has just stopped inches away from destroying the Littles' home, ostensibly by Dinky throwing himself in front of it]
Grandpa Little: It stopped!
Helen Little: That was a brave thing to do, Dinky!
Grandpa Little: Sure was. If there's anything I can ever do for you, name it!
Dinky Little: [sounding lightheaded] There is one thing: you can catch me while I faint! [cries out, falls backwards, landing in Grandpa's arms]

Share this quote on facebook Lucy Little: [after she and Tom are reunited with Grandpa and Dinky, who have just escaped from being locked inside Augustus' desk] Grandpa, Dinky! Are you OK?
Grandpa Little: Yeah. Good you're here. Quick, we have to get home! Did you hear that Augustus?
Dinky Little: [referring to Henry's gas-powered toy plane, which was damaged by an owl earlier that night] Then let's find that airplane and see if we can repair it!
Grandpa Little: Well, congratulations, Dinky. You finally said something intelligent!

Share this quote on facebook Tom Little and Lucy Little: [spotting Grandpa landing in Augustus' house, after plunging down the chimney] Grandpa!
Grandpa Little: [hugging Tom and Lucy] Thank goodness you're OK!
Lucy Little: Yes, but Mom and Dad won't be unless we can get home in time to warn them.
Tom Little: In two days, Augustus is gonna send bulldozers to tear down Henry's house.
Grandpa Little: You are a heartless, vicious old man, Augustus!
Lucy Little: Not only that, but he also slurps his soup.

Share this quote on facebook Dinky Little: [seeing his glider being torn to pieces by a cat] My glider!
Tom Little: A cat!
Lucy Little: How are we gonna get home in time now?
Tom Little: I know! Dinky can tame the cat, and we can ride home on his back!
Dinky Little: [shocked by the suggestion] Huh?
Tom Little: Didn't you once tell me you were a lion tamer?
Dinky Little: Of course. The greatest! But I can't tame that cat; I need special equipment that I don't happen to have.
Grandpa Little: [disgusted] Such as courage.

Share this quote on facebook Lucy Little: [crying, thinking Tom has been swallowed by a cat] Oh, Tom, what'll I do without you? You're the best brother a girl ever had! Kind and good and brave...
Tom Little: [emerging suddenly from atop the cat's back] And smart!
Lucy Little: Tom!
[Lucy hugs Tom with relief as he climbs down and runs to her]
Lucy Little: And stupid for letting us think you were swallowed!
