Kent Mansley: Frankly, I'm not at liberty to divulge the particulars of the agency I work for, and all that that implies.

Dean McCoppin: Get back! I said get back! I mean it!
The Iron Giant: No. Stop. Wait.
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]

Annie Hughes: Will you say grace?
[Hogarth sees the Giant's hand in the kitchen]
Hogarth Hughes: Oh, my God... Uh, Oh, my God! We thank you for... all this food that mom has put in front of us, and STOP!... the Devil, from doing bad things? Go on! Get out of here!... Uh, Satan? Go, so that we may live in peace. Amen.
Annie Hughes: Amen. That was... very unusual, Hogarth. (unknown)
Kent Mansley: Your mom's working late tonight, Hogarth, so it's just us guys, and we're gonna have a little chat. Sit down!
[shoves Hogarth onto a chair and shines a bright light on him]
Kent Mansley: How's that? A little too bright? Good. Forgive me, Hogarth. I wanted you to learn something.
Hogarth Hughes: What can I learn from you?
Kent Mansley: You can learn this, Hogart. That I can do anything I want, whenever I want if I feel it's in the people's best interest. The giant metal man. Where is it?
Hogarth Hughes: I don't know what you're talking about.
Kent Mansley: You don't? Does this ring a bell?

[Grabs Hogarth by the jaw]
Kent Mansley: You can't protect him, Hogarth, anymore than you can... protect your mother.
Hogarth Hughes: My mom?
Kent Mansley: It's difficult to raise a boy all alone. We can make it more difficult. In fact, we can make it so difficult that it would be irresponsible for us to leave you in her care, and all that that implies. You'll be taken away from her, Hogarth.
Hogarth Hughes: You can't do that!
Kent Mansley: Oh, we can, and we will.
Hogarth Hughes: He's at the junkyard. McCoppin's Scrap off Culver Road.
Kent Mansley: The junkyard, of course! Food for the metal eater. I wouldn't worry about this, Hogarth. This isn't really happening. It's only... a bad dream.
[puts a chloroform rag on Hogarth's mouth, leaving him unconscious] (unknown)

Kent Mansley: The army arrives in the morning, Hogarth. Don't get cute. (unknown)
Dean McCoppin: You came here just in time. This rich cat, some industrialist wanted him for the lobby of his company. Whipped out his checkbook right on the spot. I said, "You get him for the rest of your life, but, what, I have to give him up the minute I give birth? Give me time to cut the umbilical, man." (unknown)
Dean McCoppin: Look, it's none of my business, but who cares what these creeps think of you? They don't make you what you are, you do. You are who you choose to be. (unknown)
Hogarth Hughes: Hey, 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.
Dean McCoppin: You have a problem with arts and crafts, little man?
Hogarth Hughes: He's a giant robot. It's a little undignified.

Hogarth Hughes: Welcome to downtown Coolsville! Population: us. (unknown)
Hogarth Hughes: [to the Giant, in battle mode] It's bad to kill. Guns kill. And you don't have to be a gun. You are what you choose to be. You choose. Choose. (unknown)
[as the Giant flies toward the missle]
Hogarth Hughes: [in the Giant's mind] You are what you choose to be.
The Iron Giant: Superman. (unknown)
Dean McCoppin: Sorry about the crowbar, kid. You'd be surprised how many people want to steal scrap. But, man, once I make it into art, I can't give it away. I mean, what am I? A junkman who makes art or an artist who sells junk? You tell me. (unknown)
Annie Hughes: Strange. He's so tight-lipped now, and yesterday he wouldn't stop talking. I mean, hundred-foot robots and whatnot.
Kent Mansley: Hundred-foot robot? He, he. That's nutty.
[they both laugh]
Kent Mansley: What else did he say? (unknown)
General Rogard: Nothing can stop this thing. We've hit it with everything we got.
Kent Mansley: Not everything, General... the Bomb. The Nautilus has first strike capability and is anchored just off shore.
General Rogard: You scare me, Mansley. You want us to bomb ourselves in order to kill it?
Kent Mansley: The robot seems to go after whatever attacks it. We can lure it away from the town, then destroy it.
General Rogard: [to soldier] Radio the Nautilus. Tell them to stand by and await my command. (unknown)
General Rogard: You'll be Chief Inspector of Subway Toilets by the time I'm through with you! (unknown)
Hogarth Hughes: I know you feel bad about the deer, but it's not your fault. Things die. That's part of life. It's bad to kill, but it's not bad to die.
The Iron Giant: You die?
Hogarth Hughes: Well, yes, someday.
The Iron Giant: I die?
Hogarth Hughes: I don't know. You're made of metal, but you have feelings, and you think about things, and that means you have a soul. And souls don't die.
The Iron Giant: Soul?
Hogarth Hughes: Mom says it's something inside of all good things, and that it goes on forever and ever.
[Hogarth leaves. The Iron Giant lays back to look at the stars]
The Iron Giant: Souls don't die. (unknown)
[a nuclear missile threatens Rockwell]
The Iron Giant: I... fix.
Hogarth Hughes: Giant?
The Iron Giant: Hogarth, you stay. I go. No following.
Hogarth Hughes: I love you. (unknown)
[the Iron Giant is eating one of Dean's sculptures]
Dean McCoppin: There are two kinds of metal in this yard: scrap and art. If you gotta eat one of them, eat the scrap. What you currently have - IN YOUR MOUTH! - is ART. (unknown)
Dean McCoppin: If we don't stand up for the kooks, who will? (unknown)
Earl Stutz: I'm telling the truth, dang it! It came from outer space. I saw it! And it was headed toward land. I called the government in Washington. Maybe it was a sputnik, or... or an invader from Mars. That's what it is, an invader from Mars! It was a spaceship of some kind. An unidentified flying object...
Man: Unidentified? Knowing you, Earl, I'd say it was either whiskey or beer.
[others laugh]
Dean McCoppin: Hey! I saw it too.
Man: I rest my case.
[others laugh]
Hogarth Hughes: I believe you. What if it is Sputnik, or a flying saucer from Mars? I bet we could find it.
Dean McCoppin: Sorry, kid. I didn't really see anything. But if we don't stick up for the kooks, who will? (unknown)
Dean McCoppin: Thanks for the scrap, Floyd. I'm sorry I can't pay you more, but it's got... it's got this large "bite" out of it.
Floyd Turbeaux: That's why I'm selling it. It's got a large bite out of it.
Dean McCoppin: Yeah, right. What could have done this?
Earl Stutz: I told you what.
Dean McCoppin: Oh, yeah. Strange invaders.
Earl Stutz: Thanks for believin' me. I really did call the government. They're sending someone over to take care of the whole thing.
Dean McCoppin: Jeez, Earl, you really are crazy. I mean, who in the hell would the government send? (unknown)
