How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.
Quote #1
AMY: Mom and Dad had an argument last night and Mom spent the night at Grandma's. I think she just needed a rest.
This is our introduction to the Szalinski family. They don't exactly sound like the Bradys, huh? As we learn over the course of the movie, Diane Szalinski has plenty of reason to be exhausted by her mile-a-minute madman of a husband.
Quote #2
NICK: Look, I finished mine. It looks just like yours, huh?
[...]
WAYNE: Nick, I've got to get this working before I leave. Why don't you go help your sister?
Young Nick looks up to his father a great deal, modeling himself after Wayne's mad scientist ways. Unfortunately, Wayne is too focused on his own experimentation to give his son the time of day, which creates a rift in their relationship. That's a real bummer.
Quote #3
BIG RUSS: There's a big fish out there with your name on it.
LITTLE RUSS: Fishing's your thing, Dad, not mine.
Unlike Wayne, Big Russ Thompson wishes that Russ Jr. wanted to be more like him—an athlete and alpha male extraordinaire. This leads to a lot of deep-seated conflict between the two.
