Sam Baldwin : There is no way that we are going on a plane to meet some woman who be a crazy, sick lunatic! Didn't you see "Fatal Attraction"?
Jonah Baldwin : You wouldn't let me!
Sam Baldwin : Well, I saw it, and it scared the shit out of me! It scared the shit out of every man in America!
-
Jonah Baldwin : If you get a new wife, I guess you'll have sex with her, huh?
Sam Baldwin : I certainly hope so.
Jonah Baldwin : Will she scratch up your back?
Sam Baldwin : [shocked] What?
Jonah Baldwin : In the movies, women are always scratching up the men's back and screaming and stuff when they're having sex.
Sam Baldwin : How do you know this?
Jonah Baldwin : Jed's got cable.
Sam Baldwin : Oh.
-
Jonah Baldwin : A ho! A ho! My dad's been captured by a ho!
-
Jonah Baldwin : Talk to her, dad. She's a doctor.
Sam Baldwin : Of what? Her first name could be Doctor.

[the Taxi Driver takes Jonah to the Empire State Building]
Taxi Driver : There it is. What are you gonna do when you get up there? Spit off the top?
Jonah Baldwin : No, I'm gonna meet my new mother.
-
Jessica : I am telling them you're twelve so you can fly unaccompanied and the stewardess won't carry you around and stuff like that.
Jonah Baldwin : Are you crazy! Who'd believe I'm twelve?
Jessica : If it's in the computer, they believe anything.
Jonah Baldwin : Are you sure?
Jessica : Do you want me to say that you are really really short for your age and they shouldn't say anything because it would hurt your feelings.
Jonah Baldwin : Yeah, that's a great idea!
-
Jonah Baldwin : Thanks for dinner. I've never seen potatoes cooked like that before.
-
Sam Baldwin : I'll tell you what I'm doing this weekend, I'm getting laid. It's the 1990's and nobody's getting laid. I'm the only man in America who's getting laid this weekend and I haven't been laid that much. Six girls in college, maybe seven.
[sees Jonah standing in the doorway]
Sam Baldwin : How long have you been standing there?
Jonah Baldwin : Forever.
Sam Baldwin : What did you just hear me say?
Jonah Baldwin : Six girls in college, maybe seven.
Sam Baldwin : Seven... EIGHT! Mary Kelly.
Jonah Baldwin : [holds Annie's letter] This is the one I like!
-
Sam Baldwin : I'd much rather just see someone I like and get a feeling about them, and ask them if they want to have a drink.
Jonah Baldwin : Or a slice of pizza.
Sam Baldwin : Not dinner. Not necessarily on the first date, because halfway through dinner you could be really sorry you asked them to dinner. Whereas if it's just a drink, if you like them you can always ask them to dinner, but if not you can just say, "Well, that was great," and then you go home, if you see what I mean.
[pause]
Sam Baldwin : I wonder if it still works this way.
Jonah Baldwin : It doesn't. They ask you.
Sam Baldwin : I'm starting to notice that.
-
Jonah Baldwin : What do you think happens to someone after they die?
Sam Baldwin : I don't know.
Jonah Baldwin : Like... do you believe in Heaven?
Sam Baldwin : [hesitates] I never did. I mean, the whole idea of an afterlife... But now, I don't know. 'Cause I have these dreams. About your mom. And we have these long talks about you and how you're doing, which she sort of knows, but I tell her anyway. So what is that? That's sort of an afterlife, isn't it?

Victoria : Can I bring something back for you? A souvenir? Does he like snow globes? You shake them up and then the snow floats down.
Jonah Baldwin : [with extreme politeness] Sure. I'd really like that. Thank you so much.
[Victoria looks up at Sam]
Sam Baldwin : He's 8.
Victoria : He's good at it.
