The Butter Battle Book (1989 TV Movie)

Joseph Cousins: Grandson

Quotes 

• Grandson : [narrating]  On the last day of summer, ten hours before fall, my grandfather took me out to the wall. For a while he stood silent. Then finally he said, with a very sad shake of his very old head...

  Grandfather : As you know, on this side of the wall, we are Yooks. On the far other side of the wall live the Zooks. And the thing that you heard about Zooks is quite true, of that terribly horrible thing that they do. And in every Zook house, and in every Zook town, every Zook spreads his bread

  [shudders] 

  Grandfather : with the butter side down.

• [last lines] 

  Grandson : [narrating]  That's when Grandpa found me. He grabbed me. He said...

  Grandfather : You should be down that hole and you're up here instead. But perhaps this is all for the better somehow. You'll see me make history. Right here. And right now! You'll see your old gramp put an end to 'em all! Put an end to all those Zooks who live over the wall! Put an end to the every last village and town of those fiends who eat bread with the butter side down!

  Van Itch : And I, my dear chap, have a message for you. Mainly, I also have a Big Boy Boomeroo. And it's my firm intentions, since I have the means, to blast every Yook into small smithereens.

  Grandson : Grandpa, be careful! Hey, easy! Oh, gee! Who's going to drop it? Will you or will he?

  Grandfather : [stammers]  Be patient. We'll see. We... will see.
