Awesome / Big Daddy

Go To

  • Sonny makes being dressed up as the father of a child's toy hero (Scuba Sam) awesome.
    Sonny: (with funny voice) Hi, Julian! How ya doin'? I'm Scuba Sam, Scuba Steve's father. You see, my boy needs to take a bath, the only problem is he's afraid to bathe alone. So, I was wondering if you'd keep him company in the tub. (Julian nods in agreement, still in awe) Terrific, and after your bath, you need to try and study hard because if you want to be in the Scuba Squad, you have to be smart.
    Julian: I can be in the Scuba Squad?
    Sonny: Well sure! All you have to do is work hard and don't tell a soul about the Scuba Squad because then everybody's gonna wanna join! Oh, and one more thing! Be nice to the Delivery Guy, will ya? ...It's not his fault he can't read!
  • Showing a prolonged, open mouth kiss between two men at the beginning of a PG-13 comedy, and showing them to be in a loving, committed relationship. Not many films will do that now, and this came out in the late nineties.
  • Julian has a crippling phobia of strangers, so Sonny has the boy wear a pair of sunglasses that "turn him invisible" whenever he has to deal with a new person. At Sonny's trial, Julian at first has to wear the shades when he is called to the witness stand and questioned by Layla. However, he finally manages to gain so much confidence that he calmly reaches up and takes the shades off.
  • Just when things start to look bad for Sonny at the trial, Kevin speaks up on his behalf.
    Kevin: You can't take him away. As that boy's father, I refuse to press charges.
