Quotes 

• Irma Boyle : ...Harry, sometimes I honestly think you enjoy being miserable.

  Harry Boyle : Irma, my children are driving me crazy at home. My partner is killing me in business. Golf bores me. I'm too young for health clubs, and too old to chase girls. So being miserable is the only pleasure I've got left!

• Chet Boyle : ...I want to join the Army.

  Harry Boyle : Don't. This country has enough trouble already.

• Alice Boyle : ...Our generation realizes just how worthless money truly is.

  Harry Boyle : How did money get such a lousy reputation? It feeds us, dresses us, and sends us to college. For every kid who knocks materialism, there's a sorry parent who works his tail off... so that the kids can sit around telling him how awful it is!

  Alice Boyle : You gave us the money. We didn't ask for it.

  Harry Boyle : You didn't turn it down, either.

• Harry Boyle : [narrating]  Irma isn't exactly the best money-manager in the world.

  Irma Boyle : [on the phone]  Hello, National Bank? I got your statement this morning, and you are *wrong*! How can I be overdrawn when I've still got three checks left?

  Harry Boyle : She owes the bank $84, but she'll straighten it out... by writing them a check.
