Amy Alden : Mama to Papa. That was so cool!
Thomas Alden : Yeah, great. I just made a criminal out of my own daughter. Now we'll both do time behind bars.
Amy Alden : Dad, stop being so dramatic.
Thomas Alden : Now, look, this is just the beginning, Amy. We've got to make 120 nautical miles by sundown, fly across Lake Ontario, cross an international boundary without a permit carrying stolen goods, without filing a flight plan, without any official approval, four days behind schedule. We're on the edge, my dear.

Amy Alden : [Just after Barry and Tom have accidentally seen her after her shower] HE'S SO WEIRD!
Susan Barnes : You're right. He is.
Amy Alden : Who was that guy?
Susan Barnes : Oh, he's just a guy, and he didn't see you.
Amy Alden : He did. And why did he bring that guy to CHOP THEIR WINGS OFF?
Susan Barnes : You're father didn't know he was going to do that. Nobody knew he was going to do that.
[pause]
Susan Barnes : Amy, listen to me. I know I can never replace your mother. No one can. But if you let me, I can be your friend. And the first rule about friends is they have to trust each other, right? I promise you, nothing is going to happen to those geese. I won't let it and neither will your dad.
Amy Alden : [cries]

Susan Barnes : No!
Amy Alden : Yes he is! He said he was!
Susan Barnes : Amy, listen to me.
Amy Alden : No!

Thomas Alden : Amy? It's your dad.
Amy Alden : Dad?
Thomas Alden : I came down from Canada. I've come to take you home.
Amy Alden : Where's Mom?
Thomas Alden : Um...
Amy Alden : Mum died, didn't she?

Amy Alden : [the ranger picks up Igor, one of Amy's goslings] Excuse me, sir, please leave him alone.
DNR Officer : Your name's Amy, isn't it? Well Amy, these geese belong to the crown.
Amy Alden : What crown?
DNR Officer : That's the Queen of England.
Thomas Alden : Pinioning?
Susan Barnes : I have no idea.
DNR Officer : She made rules. It's for the good of the goose, it's for the good of the people. Now what you do is you take the wing and you just shave a bit off the cuticle here--
[prepares to cut the tip off Igor's wing with a fingernail clipper]
Amy Alden : [utterly enraged] WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
[shoots up from her chair and hits the ranger on the head with a bowl of popcorn]
Amy Alden : STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT!
Thomas Alden : [indignantly grabs the ranger and hauls him to the door] What the hell are you doing?
