Barry Cahill: Bigby Powers

Quotes 

• Bigby Powers : Eagle I, Give us some air support. Get down there and harass them!

  [no answer on the radio] 

  Bigby Powers : Eagle I, I just gave you a direct order. Do you read me?

  Eagle I : Base I, do you read this?

  [blows a raspberry] 

  Bigby Powers : YOU'RE FIRED!

  Eagle I : Ha-ha!

• Bigby Powers : [frantic]  Priscilla, will you hurry up? Christ Almighty, the cab's been waiting for two minutes!

• Vivian Hedgeworth : Darling, don't fret about her. She is socially inferior. The whole family is a rather trashy lot!

  Bigby Powers : Mrs. Hedgeworth, my daughter isn't socially inferior to anyone.

  Vivian Hedgeworth : You, sir, are an uncouth ass!

  Bigby Powers : Well, lady, your ass isn't exactly perfect, either!

  Collins Hedgeworth : [fuming]  Sir, you just insulted my mother!

  [shoves Bigby] 

  Bigby Powers : [shoves back]  Your mother asked for it!

  [Collins begins making nonsensical karate moves and exhaling, but Bigby simply punches Collins in the mouth and he falls down] 

  Vivian Hedgeworth : YOU SADISTIC BRUTE!

  Bigby Powers : I'm glad Paula didn't marry him! He's a flake!

  [walks away as a pained Collins begins flailing around uncontrollably] 

• Bigby Powers : [fixing up a drink after punishing Paula]  Well, I guess I shut off her hot little motor.

  [chuckles] 

  Bigby Powers : From now on, she's not even gonna be allowed to cross the street without my permission.

• Paula Powers : [after Bigby throws Sam out of the house]  How dare you call Sam Freeman a fortune hunter? He's an environmental research major!

  Bigby Powers : Come here. Let me show you something. I want to show you something.

  [he goes over to a display stand to unveil a red cloth revealing a vote for governor sign with Bigby's photo on it] 

  Paula Powers : Dad, I already seen your picture.

  Bigby Powers : I have planning on this for seven years and I'd expect a little cooperation from you.

  Paula Powers : I'll do anything I can to help you, but...

  Bigby Powers : [throws the cloth down in frustration]  Then forget Sam what's-his-face!

  Paula Powers : Dad...

  Bigby Powers : Collins Hedgeworth is the richest, the finest, the most suitable young man in the country.

  Paula Powers : He's a flake!

  Priscilla Powers : Oh, I think you're exaggerating!

  Paula Powers : I'm not marrying Collins Hedgeworth! I'm marrying Sam Freeman, just as soon as we get to Las Vegas!

  Bigby Powers : You do that and I'll disinherit you. I'll cut off your credit! I'll take away that goddamn sports car of yours!

  Paula Powers : No! I bought that myself with my own money!

  [she reaches for the keys on the table, but Bigby snatches them and laughs mockingly] 

  Paula Powers : I'm going up to my room.

  Bigby Powers : Well, go to your room!
