Alonzo Hawk: Okay, fellas, now I want to tear down the Steinmetz firehouse. Okay?
Lawyer: Just a moment. Mr. Hawk. Do you have the necessary permit?
Alonzo Hawk: Of course I don't have a permit! I don't even own the land yet!
Secretary: Sorry, Mr. Hawk. Such an action would only jeopardize your entire legal standing of your new building. We can't permit...
Alonzo Hawk: Will you get outta here? I didn't hire you to tell me what I can't do, I hired you to tell me how I could do it! GOOOOOO!

Loostgarten: Loostgarten speaking.
Willoughby Whitford: [imitating Hawk's voice over the telephone] This is Alonzo Hawk.
Loostgarten: Right, Mr. Hawk.
Willoughby Whitford: Loostgarten, there's been a slight change in plan. I don't want you to knock down the firehouse tonight. Instead I want you to knock down 343 Oleander Heights. You got that, 343 Oleander Heights?
Loostgarten: Right.
Willoughby Whitford: WRITE IT DOWN! [Loostgarten starts scribbling the address down on a notepad.] I don't want you to be blackballed in the wrecking ball business. If you know what I mean.
[He laughs and hangs up.]
Grandma Steinmetz: Oh, you're wonderful!

Guard 2: Watch it, Smitty. She's the ringleader.
Smitty (Guard 1): Come on, Grandma! Move it! Put your hands up!
Mrs. Steinmetz: I most certainly will not! If you say "please," I might consider it.
Smitty: All right. Please!
[Mrs. Steinmetz puts her hands up.]
Mrs. Steinmetz: There, now; you see, that wasn't so difficult after all. If you would mind your manners, young man, life would be easier for all of us. And now would you be good enough to tell me just exactly what you are doing with my furniture?

Nicole: Well, we'll just have to think of something else.
