Ricky Schroder: Ricky Stratton

Quotes 

• Ricky Stratton : [when Henry and Tommy's mom picks them up]  No problem at all. They're model children.

  [He closes the door, then leans against it] 

  Ricky Stratton : And when they grow up, they're gonna be model prisoners.

• Beth : Are you pretending you're dead?

  Ricky Stratton : Who's pretending?

• Ricky Stratton : Dad, I need to talk to you about Beth. Now it may just be her imagination, but she said that when she was with her mom, she used to see a monster that looked like this.

  Edward Stratton III : The Minuteman?

  Ricky Stratton : Yeah, it's in Concord, Massachusetts, so my hunch is maybe she used to live there.

  Edward Stratton III : And maybe her mom still does. Let's check and see if there was ever a Beth from Concord, Massachusetts reported missing.

• Edward Stratton III : Well, she says that they found out that there was a Beth Thompson who was abducted from her mother over 3 years ago in Concord, Massachusetts.

  Ricky Stratton : It's true? How could anybody do that to their own kid?

  Edward Stratton III : Well son, sometimes in a divorce situation parents try to hurt each other through their children. Now we don't know all the facts here.

  Ricky Stratton : Would you have done that if Mom had custody of me?

  Edward Stratton III : I don't know, son.

  Ricky Stratton : But you wouldn't tell me my mother never wanted to see me again.

  Edward Stratton III : No, I wouldn't do that. Nothing justifies that.

  [hugs Ricky] 

• Ricky Stratton : This is R. B. Stratton, President and Chief Executive of Sitting Pretty Babysitting Corp... . Yes, this is Ricky, the kid next door.
