Christopher Daniel Barnes: Ross Harper

Quotes 

• Ross Harper : I saw a lot of cars in front of Mr. Sanderson's house. What's going on?

  Kate Harper : It's very sad news. Mr. Sanderson died.

  Brian Harper : He was getting on in years. Still, it's always a shame.

  Ross Harper : I'll bet. It must be unsettling when someone in your generation passes on.

  Brian Harper : He was 87.

• Kate Harper : We will all miss Mr. Sanderson.

  Ross Harper : Oh, I'll miss him. All those days after school I'd cut across his lawn, he'd see me, smile, blast me with his fire hose.

  Kate Harper : You remember how he used to dress up for the children at Halloween?

  Ross Harper : Yeah, in a ball gown.

  Brian Harper : Heard he was buried in it.

• Kate Harper : Eileen, how about a little respect for the deceased?

  Ross Harper : Mom, he was buried in a ball gown.

• Kate Harper : Ross, Kristin just had an emergency and she can't babysit for us tonight. We're just about to go to our dinner.

  Ross Harper : Mom, Stiv and I have tickets to a concert. 10,000 Maniacs.

  Brian Harper : Well, they'll just have to make due with 9,999 maniacs.

• Eileen Swift : How was the concert?

  Ross Harper : Oh, it was fairly standard. We booed the opening act and they left in tears. How'd babysitting go?

  Eileen Swift : Well, where shall I start? Uh, my workmen quit on me, my important papers got smeared with paint and your parents hate me.

  Ross Harper : Oh, went better than I thought.
