Grandpa Vanderhoff: I wouldn't mind paying for something sensible.
Wilbur G. Henderson (Internal Revenue Department):: Sensible? What about Congress and the Supreme Court -- and the President? We've got to pay them, don't we?
Grandpa Vanderhoff: Not with my money, no sir!

Grandpa Vanderhoff: If you'll excuse me Mr. Kirby, I don't believe anyone has the right to interfere with young people in love. Why don't you relax?

Grandpa Vanderhoff: In love, huh?
Alice Sycamore: Well,uh... Well, I...
Grandpa Vanderhoff: Well, I... My foot. Either you are or you aren't. Let me look at your eyes. Oh yes, of course... Now, come on now, tell me all abut it. What kind of a boy is he? You have fun together?

Grandpa Vanderhoff: Isn't there something else you'd rather be doing than this?
Mr. Poppins: No.
Grandpa Vanderhoff: Oh, go on with you. I don't believe a word you're saying. Go on, tell me, what would you rather be doing than this?

Grandpa Vanderhoff: Lincoln said 'with malice toward none, with charity to all'. Nowadays they say 'think the way I do or I'll bomb the daylights out of you'.

Grandpa Vanderhoff: Maybe it'd stop you trying to be so desperate about making more money than you can ever use. You can't take it with you, Mr. Kirby. So what good is it? As near as I can see, the only thing you can take with you is the love of your friends.

Grandpa Vanderhoff: Now, let's play a duet -- good and loud -- you'll be surprised at what might happen.

Grandpa Vanderhoff: Scum, are we? What makes you think you're such a superior human being? Your money? If you do, you're a dull-witted fool, Mr. Kirby. And a poor one at that. You're poorer than any of these people that you call scum, because I'll guarantee at least they've got some friends. While you with your jungle and your long claws, as you call 'em, you'll wind up your miserable existence without anything you can call friend. You may be a high mogul to yourself, Mr. Kirby, but to me you're a failure - failure as a man, failure as a human being, even a failure as a father. When your time comes, I doubt if a single tear will be shed over you. The world will probably cry, "Good riddance." That's a nice prospect, Mr. Kirby. I hope you'll enjoy it. I hope you'll get some comfort out of all this coin you've been sweating over then!

Grandpa Vanderhoff: Stop worrying. If I know my granddaughter, she isn't going to marry Tony without your blessing. So the only thing you've got to be concerned about is this big deal of yours. So what if it does fall through? What if all your deals fall through? Might be a good thing for you.

Grandpa Vanderhoff: This was her room too. Did you ever notice the peculiar fragrance?
Alice Sycamore: Yes, but I never knew what it was.
Grandpa Vanderhoff: It's hers. It's never left here -- she hasn't either. I can still hear the tinkle of her thin little voice -- see her eyes laughing. That's the reason I've lived in this house so many years -- could never move out -- would be like moving out on grandma.
