Nina Banks : [Waiting for Brian to arrive] So, can you see him? What does he look like?
George : He just drove up.
Nina Banks : And?
George : He drove too fast.
-
George : You look like you're enjoying seeing me in here.
Nina Banks : Enjoying? Do you think it's enjoyable to get a phone call telling you to come down to the police station because your husband's been arrested for stealing hot dog buns?

Annie : Listen, I'm going to take Bryan for a drive and show him around.
Nina Banks : Okay, honey. Good.
George : Annie, it's a little nippy out. You might want to put on a sweater.
Annie : No, Dad, it's okay. I'm kind of warm.
George : There's a chill in the air, and you've been on a plane.
Annie : Dad, I'm fine.
Bryan : Annie, it is kind of cold out.
Annie : It is?
George : Yeah.
Annie : Alright. Thanks. I'll get my jacket.
George : [in voiceover] Right then, I realized my day had passed. She'll always love me, of course, but not in the same way. I was no longer the man in my little girl's life. I was like an old shoe, the kind we manufacture and get all excited about and then, after a few years, discontinue. That was me now: Mr. Discontinued.

Nina Banks : [Nina comes to bail out George from the city lock-up] Hello, George.
George : Why do you look happy to see me in here, Nina?
Nina Banks : Happy? No, no, no. I'm not happy George. You think I was happy to tell everyone that I had to come down to the city jail and bail you out for stealing hot dog buns?
George : I wasn't stealing...
Nina Banks : Ah!
George : I was just...
Nina Banks : Ah! I'm going to have to ask you not to talk, or I'll have to call Officer What's-his-name over there. You've been more than I can handle, George. Annie's wedding is not a conspiracy against you. It's just a wedding. People have them every day in every country in the world. I know it'g going to be expensive, but: we don't go to Europe. We don't own fancy cars. I don't own expensive jewelry, so we can afford to have a big wedding.
George : Nina...
Nina Banks : I'll get you out of here on one condition, Banks: that you agree to the following. Now, repeat after me. "I, George Stanley Banks..."
George : [Swallowing his pride] I, George Stanley Banks...
Nina Banks : Promise to pull it together and act my age.
George : I will stop hyperventilating, rolling my eyes, unbuttoning my top collar button...
Nina Banks : I don't unbutton my top collar...
George : Oh, no, you mean this bit here?
[Motions to her collar]
Nina Banks : [Feeling his, realizing she is right] I will stop hyperventilating, rolling my eyes, and unbuttoning my top collar button.
George : I will stop making faces in general, and I will certainly stop telling everyone I meet how much this wedding is costing.
Nina Banks : I don't tell everyone how much it costs!
[Officer clears throat]
Nina Banks : He told you, right?
Nina Banks : $250 a head?
Nina Banks : Oh, well thanks.
George : I will try to remember my daughter's feelings, and how, with every roll of my eyes, I am taking away a piece of her happiness.
Nina Banks : I love you, Nina.
Nina Banks : Just repeat the last bit.
George : I will try to remember my daughter's feelings, and how, with every roll of my eyes, I am taking away a piece of her happiness.
Nina Banks : I love you too. Let's go home, okay?
