Father of the Bride (1991 film) Quotes

Steve Martin as George

  • (Steve Martin) "You look like you're enjoying seeing me in here."
  • (Diane Keaton) "Enjoying? Do you think it's enjoyable to get a phone call telling you to come down to the police station because your husband's been arrested for stealing hot dog buns?"
  • (Steve Martin) "I used to think a wedding was a simple affair. Boy and girl meet, they fall in love, he buys a ring, she buys a dress, they say I do. I was wrong. That's getting married. A wedding is an entirely different proposition. I know. I've just been through one. Not my own, my daughter's. Annie Banks Mackenzie. That's her married name: Mackenzie. You fathers will understand. You have a little girl. An adorable little girl who looks up to you and adores you in a way you could never have imagined. I remember how her little hand used to fit inside mine. Then comes the day when she wants to get her ears pierced, and wants you to drop her off a block before the movie theater. From that moment on you're in a constant panic. You worry about her meeting the wrong kind of guy, the kind of guy who only wants one thing, and you know exactly what that one thing is, because it's the same thing you wanted when you were their age. Then, you stop worrying about her meeting the wrong guy, and you worry about her meeting the right guy. That's the greatest fear of all, because, then you lose her. It was just six months ago that that happened here. Just six months ago, that the storm broke."
  • (Steve Martin) "Who presents this woman? This woman? But she's not a woman. She's just a kid. And she's leaving us. I realized at that moment that I was never going to come home again and see Annie at the top of the stairs. Never going to see her again at our breakfast table in her nightgown and socks. I suddenly realized what was happening. Annie was all grown up and was leaving us, and something inside began to hurt."
  • (Steve Martin) "This was the moment I'd been dreading for the past six months. Well, actually for the past 22 years."
  • (Steve Martin) "Yikes. A whole car."
  • (Kimberly Williams-Paisley) "Dad? Dad? Dad, did you see what the Mackenzie's got us?"
  • (Steve Martin) "It's unbelievable. And you thought you'd never have a new car."
  • (Kimberly Williams-Paisley) "I know."
  • (Kimberly Williams-Paisley) "What's that?"
  • (Steve Martin) "It's nothing. It's just a gift I was thinking of giving you guys. It's something you said you didn't have, but you wanted."
  • (Kimberly Williams-Paisley) "Can I see it?"
  • (Steve Martin) "Yeah, you know, it's, it's not a big, big gift of course."
  • (Kimberly Williams-Paisley) "It's a cappuccino maker."
  • (Steve Martin) "Supposed to be a good one. That's what they said at the store. It's uh, top of the line. Makes great foam."
  • (Kimberly Williams-Paisley) "I couldn't love anything more."
  • (Steve Martin) "My feelings exactly."
  • (Steve Martin) "Well, that's the thing about life, is the surprises, the little things that sneak up on you and grab hold of you."
  • (Andrea - the Florist) "Mrs. Banks, as far the flowers go, we're going to color-coordinate with the swans, right?"

  • (Steve Martin) "We don't have a tulip border."
  • (Andrea - the Florist) "You will."
  • (Steve Martin) "I thought maybe I should help smooth things over. So I took Bryan out for a drink. Thought we could have a talk, man-to-man. But as I sat there and listened to his side of the story -- I realized this was a golden opportunity. If I ever wanted to get rid of Bryan MacKenzie, this was my chance."
  • (George Newbern) "You know those banana shakes she likes to make, right? Well, that's why I thought she'd like a blender. I guess I can see her point. I mean, a blender does suggest a certain -- reference to sexual politics, but -- I swear, it never entered my consciousness at the time."
  • (Steve Martin) "I believe you."
  • (George Newbern) "You do? Would you tell Annie that for me, Dad?"
  • (Steve Martin) "This was where I was gonna lower the boom. But instead, I looked into his weepy eyes and found my self saying:"
  • (Steve Martin) "Sure, I'll tell her."
  • (George Newbern) "Oh, good. 'Cause I know whatever you say she'll believe."
  • (Steve Martin) "Not only was I not getting rid of the kid -- I now found myself talking him into staying."
  • (Steve Martin) "You know, Bryan, Annie's a very passionate person. And passionate people tend to overreact at time. Annie comes from a long line of major overreactors. Me. I can definitely lose it. My mother. A nut. My grandfather. Stories about him were legendary. The good news, however, is that this overreacting -- tends to get proportionately less by generation. So, your kids could be normal."
  • (Steve Martin) "As if that wasn't enough, I went on."
  • (Steve Martin) "But on the upside, with this passion -- comes great spirit and individuality -- which is probably one of the reasons you love Annie."
  • (George Newbern) "That's what I love most about her."
  • (Steve Martin) "That's when it hit me like a Mack truck. Annie was just like me, and Bryan was just like Nina. They were a perfect match."
  • (Steve Martin) "Annie, it's a little nippy out, you might want to put on a sweater."
  • (Kimberly Williams-Paisley) "Dad, it's okay, I'm kinda warm."

  • (Kimberly Williams-Paisley) "Dad, I'm fine."
  • (George Newbern) "Annie, it is kinda cold out."
