Awesome / Dolls (1987)

Go To

  • The scene where David finally gets what he deserves as Gabriel and Hilary turn him into a Punch doll is awesome on its own, but it's the "The Reason You Suck" Speech that Gabriel gives him as it's happening that makes it even better.
    Gabriel: You can destroy as many toys as you like, but you can't get rid of them all. Toys will be here for as long as children want them. They're the heart and soul of childhood. Hilary and I think that the bitterness that people feel as adults can turn to love if they surrender to the good will that toys provide. Some people can be saved. We give everyone a sporting chance. And the others, like you? Well... they have to start over... and play a new role in the big game. And you still don't know what's happening, do you? You silly Mr. Punch...
    • Let's also not forget Gabriel's line beforehand: "Being a parent is a privilege, David. Not a right", especially considering how David treated Judy.
  • In a Villainous Valor way, Enid holding off a lot of the tools by waving around a lighter, and whipping them back with her belt.
  • Judy stopping the dolls from hurting Ralph when he finally snaps after what a nightmare the whole ordeal has been. She screams at them to leave him alone and stop being so awful. Surprisingly, the dolls listen and concede to her wishes, as they had no desire to upset Judy because she's innocent.
