posted on 11.21.07 Great Thanksgiving Movie: Dutch

From IMDB: Volunteering to drive his girl friend’s son home for Thanksgiving to Chicago from his boarding school in Georgia, little does Dutch expect the picaresque adventures in store for him. When a blunt, down-to-earth construction worker takes to the road with an insufferable twelve-year-old snob (desperately insecure under the surface) who doesn’t approve of him in the least, quite a bit must happen before they can reach their destination as friends— or, for that matter, get home at all.

Doyle: “I could have frozen to death, you asshole!”

Dutch: “I don’t think you would have frozen. Not solid, anyway, it’s not quite cold enough for that. Here’s the deal, Dobsie— I don’t screw around. You piss me off, I react. I’m not your daddy, I’m not your friend, I’m not your uncle. I’m a working-class nobody, and I don’t take crap from kiddies.”
