The Iron Giant quotes

  • Dean McCoppin: Get back! I said get back! I mean it!

    The Iron Giant: No. Stop. Why?

    Hogarth Hughes: It was an accident. He's our friend.

    Dean McCoppin: He's a piece of hardware, Hogarth. Why did you think the army was here? He's a weapon, a big... big gun that walks.

    The Iron Giant: I... I not gun.

    Dean McCoppin: Yeah? Then what's that?

    [Points at huge hole the Giant's ray left on a bus]

    Dean McCoppin: You almost did that to Hogarth!

    The Iron Giant: No!

    [Runs away]

    Hogarth Hughes: Wait!

    [Runs after the Giant]

    Dean McCoppin: Hogarth!

    Hogarth Hughes: Come back!

    Dean McCoppin: [sees the toy gun Hogarth left on the ground] It was being defensive. He reacted to the gun.

    Atomic Holocaust Narrator: [echoing] Atomic holocaust!
