Herbert Cadbury

Well... I'm already wanted for attempted murder, escaping from jail, and blowing up an aircraft. Breaking and entering sounds right up my alley. Let's kick some butt, shall we?

Lawrence Van Dough

[Annoyed with his chauffeur after stepping out of his limo and into a puddle] 37-and-a-half miles of driveway, and you park in the 5 feet with a puddle!

Dialogue

[Richie wants to play baseball with Gloria's sandlot-team]

Richie Rich: Come on. Let me hit.

Gloria: Forget it; you probably couldn't even hit a BEACH BALL!

Richie Rich: I could hit it off of YOU.

Gloria: [insulted] All right - You think you're so hot? Put your money where your mouth is!

Richie Rich: You mean bet?

Tony: Yeah. $5 says she could put you away for keeps.

Gloria: $5? How about $10?

Richie Rich: Okay - Seems a little steep, but $10 thousand it is.

[Richie takes a wad of bills out of his pocket; the other kids are shocked]

Gloria: No, not $10 thousand. $10 dollars.

Richie Rich: Oh, $10 dollars. Okay.

Herbert Cadbury: Master Richie, I do think it unseemly in the extreme for you to take these - children's money.

Gloria: What are you doing, Mr. Fancy Pants? Asking the old guy for batting tips?

Herbert Cadbury: [insulted] Take their backsides to the cleaners, Master Richie.

Richard Rich Sr.: How do you put up with me, Regina?

Regina Rich: Well, you do have $700 billion.

Richard Rich Sr.: Is that the ONLY reason?

Regina Rich: [she lightly gives him a kiss] No. You also have a cute butt.

[she walks away sensually; he looks embarrassed, then chuckles]

Richard Rich Sr.: Hey, Cadbury, did you hear that?

Herbert Cadbury: Indeed, sir. Madam admires your butt. I'm most delighted for you.

Herbert Cadbury: Excuse me, sir. It's a telephone call, from the President.

Richard Rich Sr.: Which country?

Herbert Cadbury: This one, sir.

Richard Rich Sr.: Probably needs another loan.

Pee-Wee: Hey, man, just checking out your crib here.

Richie Rich: My crib?

Herbert Cadbury: I believe that's street slang for home, sir, an idiom.

Omar: Who you callin' an idiom?

[Having forced Richard Sr. and Regina to open Mount Richmore, Van Dough finds that instead of money, it contains baby pictures, comic books, baseball cards, finger paintings, etc.]

Van Dough: Why, this is incredible! This is amazing! Why, this is... This is... this is junk!

Regina Rich: [They both look insulted] Junk?

Van Dough: What is this? Bronze dog bones? Accordians? Baby pictures, tricycles, kites... [Picks up a trophy] Bowling trophies?

Richard Rich Sr.: Oh, do you remember that, darling?

Regina Rich: Our first date!

Van Dough: What is all of this crap?

Regina Rich: These are our treasured possessions!

Van Dough: But where's the gold... the diamonds... the negotiable bearer bonds? The money! [Aims his gun at Richard Sr.] WHERE'S THE MONEY?

Richard Rich Sr.: In banks, where else? And the stock market, real estate...

Van Dough: No! Is this some kind of joke? You're telling me there isn't one single platinum bar, or emerald, or $1,000 bill in this entire mountain?

Richard Rich Sr.: Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, Lawrence, but that's not what we treasure.
