For Pete's Sake Movie Quotes

Helen Robbins You're just jealous.
Henrietta 'Henry' Robbins Of what am I supposed to be jealous?
Helen Robbins You're jealous because Fred has money and can buy me nice things.
Henrietta 'Henry' Robbins He should buy you electrolysis, Helen, so the Brotherhood-of-TV-Dealers won't think ol' Fred is shacked up with some fat-ass grizzly bear!

Check-out Man $32.79
Henrietta 'Henry' Robbins How do you put 32 dollars and 79 cents in one bag?
Check-out Man Nobody is forcing you to eat madam.
Henrietta 'Henry' Robbins Yeah I know but every time I try to stop I get withdrawal pains.
Lady in Supermarket Oh come on! Let's go, before they raise the prices again.
Henrietta 'Henry' Robbins Listen I'm a dollar, eighty short.
Check-out Man So, put something back. Here, put back this pot roast.
Henrietta 'Henry' Robbins That is our dinner tonight.
Check-out Man What's the matter with neck bones? They're only 58 cents a pound.
Henrietta 'Henry' Robbins I got people coming for dinner. Is it alright if I give em a pot roast.
Check-out Man Don't get snitty with me. Keep the pot roast if you're trying to impress someone. I was only trying to be helpful. Do these woman appreciate that? They bitch and get snotty.
Henrietta 'Henry' Robbins Here... And here... You take the Froot Loops. You'll love em.

Henrietta 'Henry' Robbins I've asked you a dozen times. If I write a check and I'm overdrawn a few dollars, just call me. Or take the money out of our savings account and put it in our checking account to cover it. We have over $300 in our savings account.
Assistant Bank Manager You're 62 cents over.
Henrietta 'Henry' Robbins That's what I said: "over". You bounced my check. It's very embarrassing.
Assistant Bank Manager With only $300.62 in your account, should you be eating pot roast.
Henrietta 'Henry' Robbins Look my husbands brother and his wife are coming over for dinner. What's it to you if I give em a pot roast.
Assistant Bank Manager Fiscally speaking, you're eating over your head.
Henrietta 'Henry' Robbins I don't think a pot roast puts us in a jet seat. And you call yourself "a bank that cares", and I really, really doubt that.
Assistant Bank Manager If you don't believe we care, we don't care to have your business. Now, we can just close up your account.
Henrietta 'Henry' Robbins Wait, I didn't say that.
Assistant Bank Manager It's our fault. We give away free calendars, and piggy banks, and pen and pencil sets.
Henrietta 'Henry' Robbins You're right, you've spoiled us.

Telephone Lady It's your word against our computer, Mrs. Robbins.
Henrietta 'Henry' Robbins We did not make a phone call to Yugoslavia. We have never been into Yugoslavia. We do not know anyone in Yugoslavia. And even if we did know someone in Yugoslavia, we wouldn't spend $12 to call em.
Telephone Lady Our computer says you did.
Henrietta 'Henry' Robbins Your computer is a liar!
Telephone Lady That little remark goes right into your file card, which goes into our computer.
Henrietta 'Henry' Robbins That computer is not God. It makes mistakes, and I will not pay for a phone call that I didn't make. I don't have the money.
Telephone Lady Strange you won't pay us, but you have money for a pot roast.
Henrietta 'Henry' Robbins Well, you caught me. That's what we do. We sit around all day eating pot roast and calling Yugoslavia. Why don't you stick that into your computer and see what it says.

Henrietta 'Henry' Robbins We put this claim in three months ago; we have paid our premiums promptly for three years, so how come you can't pay us on time?

Henry We're only two days late. They kill you for two days late?
Bernie Well, they ain't no bank. The only security you put was your body and when they foreclose, there ain't nothing for them to take but you.
Henry Yeah, but if they kill us they'll never get their money.
