History Funny / TheIronGiant

** Hogarth trying to push the Giant's hand out of the bathroom window, where Annie and Kent listen in out of concern (they [[GrossoutFakeout think he's grunting because he's pooping]]).

'''Kent Mansley''': What am I ''talking about? '''[[SuddenlyShouting WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT?!]]''''' I'm talking about your god-darned security, Hogarth! While you're snoozing in your widdle jammies, back in Washington, we're wide awake and worried! Why? Because everyone wants what we have, Hogarth! EVERYONE! You think this metal man is fun, but who built it? The Russians? The Chinese? Martians? [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers Canadians?!]] '''I DON'T CARE!''' All I know is ''we'' didn't build it, and that's reason enough to assume the worst and ''blow it to kingdom come!'' Now, you are going to tell me about this thing, you are going to lead me to it, and we are going to ''destroy it'' before it destroys ''us!'' (''his stomach gurgles'') [[MoodWhiplash ...hold that thought and stay right there!]]\\

** Context: Hogarth has lost his squirrel, his mom has been getting on his case about bringing stray animals home, and Dean happens to be in [[GroinAttack the wrong place at the wrong time]].

** And while Dean and Annie are talking, we can hear Rogard still yelling and we can't hear what he's saying, but we do get this part when we cut back to Rogard and Kent.

* The "Duck and Cover" PSA Hogarth's class has to sit through is hilarious for how over the top and cheesy it is. Doubly hilarious is the fact that this is ''[[TruthInTelevision exactly]]'' what Cold War [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKqXu-5jw60 PSA's were like in real life]].

-->'''Hogarth:''' Oh my God. Um... Uh, oh, my God, we... thank you... for the food that Mom has put in front of us and-- STOP!-- uh, the Devil from... doing bad things and-- GET OUT OF HERE!-- uh, Satan? GO, GO!... so that we may live in peace. Amen.

--> '''Gen. Rogard:''' That missile is targeted to the Giant's ''CURRENT POSITION''! '''''[[MemeticMutation WHERE'S THE GIANT, MANSLEY?]]'''''\\

'''Rogard:''' There's no way to ''survive'' this, you IDIOT! \\
'''Mansley:''' [[OhCrap You mean...we're all going to...]] \\
'''Rogard:''' [[FaceDeathWithDignity To]] ''[[FaceDeathWithDignity die]]'', [[FaceDeathWithDignity Mansley. For our country.]] \\

-->'''Hogarth:''' OH MY GOD! Uh, oh, my God, we... thank you... for the food that Mom has put in front of us and-- STOP!-- uh, the Devil from... doing bad things and-- GET OUT OF HERE!-- uh, Satan? GO, GO!... so that we may live in peace. Amen.

** This moment becomes even funnier when you notice that [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Giant is starting to fall asleep]].

'''Rogard:''' [[FaceDeathWithDignity To ''die'', Mansley. For our country.]] \\

---->'''Hogarth:''' Heeeeey! I thought you were in trouble! I had this weird guy following me around, it took me ''hours'' to shake him, I kill myself getting out here, and you have him doing... arts and crafts.\\

** Before that, the way Mansly dejectedly mumbles "Yes sir..." when Rogard sternly asks him to step outside. He knows perfectly well that he's officially lost this battle.

* The entire scene of Hogarth and Annie trying to eat dinner while the Giant's hand is crawling through the house, with special mention going to Hogarth's "really unusual" grace. Words don't do it justice.

** Hogarth trying to push the Giant's hand out of the bathroom window, where Annie and Kent listen in out of concern.

** And then the Giant holds it up and says "Art?".

* Hogarth's "You are who you choose to be" speech while held by the giant at gunpoint is one of the film's most [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments touching scenes]]. That said, the way he winces while saying "Choose," implying that [[ThisIsGonnaSuck he's not entirely sure whether or not this will work]], is amusingly human.

'''Mansley:''' Wha...? ''[looks over at the Giant, standing five feet away from him]'' ''[[DidntThinkThisThrough Oh]]...'' We can duck and cover! There's a fallout shelter right there!\\

'''Mansley:''' You mean...we're all going to... \\
'''Rogard:''' To ''die'', Mansley. For our country. \\
'''Mansley:''' [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Screw our country! I wanna live!]] ''[jumps into a Jeep and tries to drive off before crashing into the Giant's metal hand]''

'''Mansley:''' Wha...? ''[looks over at the Giant, standing five feet away from him]'' ''[[DidntThinkThisThrough Oh]]...'' We can duck and cover! [[WhatAnIdiot There's a fallout shelter right there!]] \\

** And the headline on the newspaper Dean is reading? "Disaster seen as catastrophe looms."

-->'''Kent:''' (Cheerfully) Hey there, scout! (Sternly) Kent Mansley. I work for the government.

--> (''Hogarth opens the door for Kent yet again'')\\

** Hogarth trying to push the Giant's hand out of the bathroom window, where Annie and Kent listen in out of concern. Once the Giant's hand falls outside and crashes to the ground, Annie assumes that her son fell out of the window and opens the door... to see Hogarth [[GuileHero pretending to be in the middle of using the toilet as a diversion]]. Hilarity ensues.
-->'''Hogarth''': [[SuddenlyShouting MOM! A LITTLE PRIVACY?!]]
-->'''Annie''': (''mortified'') Sorry! (''quickly slams the door, unaware that Kent is peeking inside, and accidentally slams his head with the door'')
-->'''Annie''': Sorry...he's been acting strange, lately.
-->'''Kent''': ...[[TranquilFury that hurts]].

--> '''Mansley''': '''[[{{Angrish}} WHAT YOU *$&@!!]]''' (''repeatedly slams receiver while cursing gibberish; Hogarth & Annie turn and look at Mansley; Mansley inhales deeply as he recomposes himself'') Hi. Thanks for the use of your phone.

* "You know, this is why it's so important to really ''chew'' your food."
** The look Mansley receives from Hogarth's mother is absolutely priceless.

*** [[https://youtu.be/1EVQ-eyF36o?t=231 Even better when you find out what was ORIGINALLY recorded.]]

--> "You'll be chief inspector of ''subway toilets'' by the time I'm finished with you!"

--> "Goodbye Kent, [[CallBack and all that implies.]]"

--> '''Hogarth''': Look, you can't go stomping around and you can't come home with me. My mom will wig out.
--> '''Giant''': (''mimics the funny face Hogarth made earlier'') Ah-ah-ah-ooh!
--> '''Hogarth''': That's right.

(''Kent rushes to the restroom. As soon as he's gone, Hogarth rushes out the door.'')\\

* Hogarth [[MotorMouth on espresso]]. Whoever animated that lip sync should be proud.[[note]]Fun fact: it was Brad Bird himself![[/note]]

--> '''Gen. Rogard:''' [[NoIndoorVoice YOU REALIZE HOW MUCH HARDWARE I BROUGHT OUT HERE?!]] [[DrillSergeantNasty YOU JUST BLEW MILLIONS OF UNCLE SAM'S DOLLARS]] OUTTA YER BUTT!

* When Hogarth tricks Mansley into eating a laxative filled sundae ("Landslide... It's new. ''Very'' new.”). Then Mansley, losing patience, starts yelling at Hogarth, ''without paying to mind the other customers who are nearby''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SF24fZvfoHs Watch here.]]

'''Hogarth''': [crumbles up coca-lax] You crumble up the chocolate into little pieces. [stirs the ice cream] Then you kind of just stir it into the ice cream. See?\\

'''Kent Mansley''': Mmmm. Landslide. Topnotch. Mmmm. [''while Hogarth makes himself a "Landslide" with a regular chocolate bar''] You know, Hogarth, we live in a strange and wondrous time: the Atomic Age. But there's a dark side to progress, Hogarth. Ever hear of Sputnik?\\

'''Kent Mansley''': Foreign satellite, Hogarth, and all that implies. Even now it orbits overhead - Boop! Boop! - watching us. We can't see it but it's there, much like that giant thing in the woods. We don't know what it is or what it can do. I don't feel safe, Hogarth. Do you?\\

'''Kent Mansley''': What am I talking about? WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT?! I'm talking about your goddarned security, Hogarth! While you're snoozing in your widdle jammies, back in Washington, we're wide awake and worried! Why? Because everyone wants what we have, Hogarth! EVERYONE! You think this metal man is fun, but who built it? The Russians? The Chinese? Martians? Canadians? ''I DON'T CARE!!'' All I know is ''we'' didn't build it, and that's reason enough to assume the worst and ''blow it to kingdom come!'' Now, you are going to tell me about this thing, you are going to lead me to it, and we are going to destroy it before it destroys us! (''his stomach gurgles'')...Hold that thought and stay right there!\\

--> '''Hogarth:''' No. No. [[MeaningfulEcho Me go. You stay. No following.]] ''(Giant continues following him, until Hogarth gets annoyed)'' I told you! I'll come back tomorrow! '''NOW, STAY!''' ''(Hogarth walks off and Giant continues following him)'' ''(getting frustrated)'' NO, NO, NO! BAD ROBOT!
