Bedtime Stories is a 2008 American family-fantasy-comedy film directed by Adam Shankman and starring Adam Sandler. Skeeter Bronson [Reffering to Bugsy on his head] What the heck is on my head right now? [Skeeter sings to the staff] Barry had a Nottingham. Nottingham. Nottingham. Barry had a Nottingham whose beard was white as snow. [Skeeter stops singing] C'mon, give it up for the big man. Lucky my wallet only had three dollars, and my Derek Jeter baseball card! I'll have me win in the story, so I'll win for real. Do ya dig? [Barry Nottingham doesn't want to hug Skeeter because of germs] Let's get past that. OK. Oh, see? Look, your enjoying it. We're hugging, and nothing's happening. The Big Hotel Idea Story! Gotta babysit my niece and nephew tonight. Oh God. Got any advice for me? [talking on the phone from the next room] EMERGENCY! [enters the room] They don't have a TV. There are no happy endings in real life. The sooner you guys learn that, the better. [looking at Bugsy's (guinea pig) eyes] DAAAAAAAAAAH! Wow! Those would look big on a cow! Are those eyeballs or bowling balls? Need to keep my eyes off him, goodbye. Jill Hastings It's not that big, sir. It can fit into one spot. Excuse me Mr. Nottingham. My name is Jill Hastings. I'm a teacher at Webster Elementary. That's my Prius. [to Skeeter after he finds out that the new hotel is replacing Webster Elementary School] Don't destroy the sliver of respect I still have for you by making lame excuses. Just go away and stay away. Patrick Bronson [Skeeter mistakes him for Bobbi] I'm Patrick. She's Bobbi. Girls are bisgrusting, except for Trisha Sparks. [looks at the stars] Oh look. A pyramid. You have to read us a bedtime story. Bobbi Bronson [is asked how hamburgers taste] Lifechanging. Patrick's never kissed a girl. [looking at Skeeter's gifts] Shampoo, and a soap? Other Barry Nottingham Yes. Now, sign the bloody papers. Mickey [translating Skeeter's gibberish] Jumping up and down on the alligator. Barry Nottingham Germs! Mickey Oh, so positive visualisation. I read a book on that once...I read the back cover...I can't read. [Bugsy starts laughing] Shut up, Bugsy! I've got opposable thumbs. What do you think about that? [Bugsy stops laughing] Dialogue Skeeter Am I really getting a cherry-red ferrari? Robber I don't see why not. Skeeter For freeeee?! Robber Sounds good to... meeeee? Violet Nottingham Skeeter? Skeeter Bronson? Skeeter Yes, ma'am. Skeeter Raining gumballs? Patrick Why not? It's a bedtime story: anything can happen. Skeeter Yeah, well I guess, in the story. I just wish it was like that in real life. I really do. [imaginary wind chimes sound] Bobbi You go into a magical cave. Skeeter Caves are nice. Bobbi And Abe Lincoln's there. Skeeter Abe Lincoln?! What, is this a joke to you?! What the heck's the matter with you?! Skeeter So you need me, this is good. I´ll do it. But you will have to say "Skeeter is the coolest, I´m a nerd". Wendy Skeeter is the coolest, I´m a nerd Skeeter Yeah, you are! Marty: And so Skeeter sat on his bed filled with regret, wondering how to put the pieces of his life back together after one magical week. Skeeter: [sarcastic] Great ending, huh? Marty: That was your ending?! I thought this was just a sad part before things got better! Skeeter: What do you mean? Marty: Well in the stories I told you, just when things looked bleakest, the hero would do something unexpected and courageous to beat the bad guy, save the day and get the girl! Skeeter: [inspired] Yeah! How do I do that? Marty: It's your story, not mine. But you better get moving; go get 'em, son!
