Kindergarten Cop Quotes

Context

This line is spoken by Detective John Kimble, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, in the film Kindergarten Cop, directed by Ivan Reitman (1990).

You wouldn't expect Arnold Schwarzenegger to be good with kids. This is a guy whose roles have included a Terminator, a guy fighting a Predator, and a governor. But that's the joke in Kindergarten Cop, the comedy that sends Ahnold undahcovah as a kindergarten teacher.

Like all movie kids, these kids say the darndest things, and when Arnold tries to round them up into playing a little a game, the rambunctious rugrats quickly give him a headache. When he says his head hurts, one of the kids says it could be tumor, prompting Arnold to snap, in a way that only he can:

"It's not a tumah!"

Where you've heard it

You'll hear this line when someone has a terrible headache...but not a bad enough one to prevent them from doing their best Arnold Schwarzenegger impersonation.
