Here Come the Littles (1985)

Hal Smith: Uncle Augustus

Quotes 

• Uncle Augustus : Stop that sniffling and carry your miserable things upstairs!

  Henry Bigg : Yes, sir.

  Uncle Augustus : Stop dawdling. Life isn't going to be soft for you, like it used to be. I'm your guardian now!

• Uncle Augustus : [to a stray cat, which has found its way into the house]  Get out of here, you mangy animal!

  Henry Bigg : [picking up the cat as it runs towards him]  Hi, kitty. Can I keep him, Uncle? Please?

  Uncle Augustus : I don't need another mouth to feed!

  Henry Bigg : But he'll get rid of the mice for you.

  Uncle Augustus : [thinking it over]  The mice? Hmmm... very well. But that mangy creature's not here for you to play with; it's here to work!
