Quote #1
CARL: I believe I made my position to your boss quite clear.
CONSTRUCTION FOREMAN TOM: You poured prune juice in his gas tank.
CARL: Yeah, that was good.
Carl may be old, but he’s still mischievous.
Quote #2
CARL: You in the suit! Yes, you! Take a bath, hippie!
Carl’s lack of a filter makes it easy for him to stand up to the suits who are trying to bulldoze his house. Sure, his references may be outdated, but who cares? Carl turned that house into a home with Ellie, and he’s going to fight for it.
Quote #3
CARL: Tell your boss he can have our house.
CONSTRUCTION FOREMAN TOM: Really?
CARL: When I'm dead!
Let’s be real: When you’re older than most caves, you’re not going to cave under pressure. From anybody. It’s worth noting that he refers to it as “our” house, too. Carl’s not just standing up for himself, he’s standing up for Ellie.
