| Daniel: Well, in the words of Porky Pig, p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-piss off, Lou. Daniel: Ya, my name is Ilse Himmelman and I want to know how many children do you have? Miranda: I have two girls and a boy. Daniel: Ah, a boy. I don't worl with the males 'cause I used to be one. Daniel: If I find the misogynistic bastard that invented heels, I'll kill him. Daniel: Newspaper? You taking out one of those personal ads? It's "DWF seeks WWM with BMW with light B&D". Daniel: May I see the ad? Miranda, just let me look at the ad. I have a right as their father, please? Miranda: Anything else you want to see? Daniel: Are you offering? Miranda: Not anymore. Daniel: What's the change? Mrs. Sellner: As a court liaison I will be looking at two things--your living environment. Daniel: It's more like a habitat, really. Mrs. Sellner: And I will be coming by on Monday and Friday evenings to inspect it. Daniel: Well, I'll put on the chicken. Mrs. Sellner: And of course, there's always the job issue. This is the nearest employment office. I've taken the liberty at making an apoointment for you. Daniel: Thank you. Mrs. Sellner: Oh, by the way, do you have any special skills? Daniel: Oh, yes, I do. I do voices. Mrs. Sellner: What do you mean, "you do voices". Daniel: Well, I do voices. Yes! We've come to this planet looking for intelligent life. Oops, we made a mistake. Happy to be in America, don't ask for a green card. And I want you in the worst way. Well, it's a silently rough meeting and it's not going very well for me, I'll tell you that. Hey boss, give it a chance, she's gonna loosen up any moment. Look at me right now, moneypenney. I want to undo that bow and get to know you. I'm crazy to make a deal with you. Nancy and I are still looking for the other half of my head. Thsi is it. I'm doing it. I'm sitting on a goldmine. Don't make me smack you, sweetheart. Or I'll do it. Figaro! I do a great impression of a hotdog. Mrs. Sellner: Mr. Hillard, do you consider yourself humourous? Daniel: I used to. There was a time when I found myself funny...but today you've proven me wrong. Thank you. Daniel: How's the old battle-ax......Mom? Mrs. Doubtfire: I hope you're up for a little competition. Stuart: I beg your pardon? Mrs. Doubtfire: She's got a power tool in the bedroom, dear. It's her personal jackhamer. She could break sidewalk with that thing. She uses it, and the lights dim. Like a prison movie. Amazed she hasn't chipped her teeth. |

| How far would an ordinary father go to spend more time with his children? Daniel Hillard (Robin) is no ordinary father, so when he learns his ex-wife (Sally Field) needs a housekeeper, he applies for the job. With the perfect wig, a little make-up and a dress for all occasions, he becomes Mrs. Doubtfire, a devoted Brittish housekeeper who is hired on the spot. Free to be the 'women' he never knew could be, the disguised Daniel created a whole new life with his entire family. |
