was when debbie reynolds finally gets the hang of the camera phone and kisses her son goodbye, knocks the phone over and breaks glass. I never get sick of this part. It his soooo hilarious.
if you wanted to get me on my back all you had to do was ask
My personal fave is the Sweet Tooth ice cream scene. Reynolds first explains the "protective ice" and then Brooks says that it tastes like an "orange foot."
I gotta say that whole shopping scene that follows cracks me up too when I think about it, especially when Reynolds tries to fit her food on "her side" of the refrigerator.
The scene where he's fighting with his brother over his mom in the front yard. He taunts his brother joking that he's in a sexual relationship with his mother. The looks on mom's face as she see's the neighbour lady's reactions are priceless.
"I could scrape the top off the meatloaf" "What would that do?" "Well, it wouldn't be as much meat then" "But it's still meat...what difference does it make how much you have?" "You really don't like meat, huh?" "No Mother, I don't like eating cows" "Oh, Honey....EVERYTHING comes from a cow....EVERYTHING"
I loved the first scene Lawyer: Now this being your second divorce, Mr. Henderson, I'm sure you're familiar with the procedure, but your wife, uh... ex-wife, should know it would be wise not to leave the state for a few weeks until it's finalized. Karen Henderson: I'm not planning to leave the state. John Henderson: No. She just left me. She had nothing against the land.
The dialogue in the supermarket was priceless.
"Why are you getting a different cart?" 'You said you didn't want meat and I figured that meant you didn't want it touching your food.' "It's fine to have it in the cart, I just don't want to ingest it." I've known over-accommodating people like that.
"It's not like people wait in line for bread anymore." (glances at the long line in the bakery).
"Stephen King could afford expensive jelly. My son... not so much." Man, talk about twisting a knife in him.
When they run into the ladies again, they all remark it's sooo funny and he just says, "it's not that funny."
Lastly the mall scene where she talks to the pet store owner about his divorce. "Well, he asked." 'Yeah, when they take down your information, they ask for your marital status.'
almost every scene is drop dead funny, but I love the scenes when the two brothers are fighting, and the older brother taunts the younger about the "sexual" relationship he has with their mother, and the younger brother's wife is funny, too. I also love the scenes about the food. And then Albert Brooks embarrasses his mom by taking her to Victoria's secret, after she's embarrassed him at the pet store.
There were quite a few gems in this movie. I really liked the part where Jeff came up state, and John said, "Oh yeah, they'd rather be inside in a darkened room with their grandmother."
The part where he wants to hire guys to help him move his furniture back into his room. His mom says: They're different than us." and John says: "No, you're different than them.". And I love the part where she drives the tv delivery guy crazy over the color of the picture. Also the sherbet, the "Somebody had to stop us from going around!" And so many others. Love this movie. Especially since I had a mother who was sort of like her, so I can relate.
