Fav Quotations...SPOILE RS*

It may not be a classic, tho I think it is a cut above most of the dark(black) comedy/dramas that, or even straight comedies that impact our retinas on a regular basis (unless we're very careful). The acting is very very good (where it is required - tho some comedic dumbing down is noticable in places), there are emotive moments and most of the jokes just really work (for me). This film skillfully mixes Sex and Death in one, well, sexy and deadly package...

Here are a few lines that crack me up:
The Twins on their 11th birthday to their mother: "This isn't what we ordered...we ordered an erotic cheesecake."

Lucy: "You wouldn't know a sex-toy if it left a battery in your vagina"
Alice: (stern/deadpan)"My vagina...has served as sacred passage for 3 anatomically correct children."

Judy: "Hi boys, I'm Lucy's life partner Judy"
The Twins: "'Levsians' *grin*"

Alice: "This isnt about you, so..."
Judy: "Are you talking to the sex toy?"
Alice: "I'm sure you're a very nice lesbian..."

Skip (to Judy): "Don't worry about Alice, you think she's gone, she comes back, you know, like herpies" and then (to Daniel) "Don't do that, don't throw a lemon at me in front of a lesbian."

Lucy announcing her planned wedding to Judy:"What is it Fred..."
Ted: "I don't know...But I can't wait to find out what you two vageniuses are up to"
Ted: "It's a compound compliment"

Katie (searching for videos of her "actress" mother that she never knew) : "Do you have any Cookie Tooshoola movies?"
Clerk: "I'll check, they're probably all out...this one's probably her best, just for it's utter lack of story"
later (V/O)..."Most people don't even like to think of their parent haveing sex with each other, much less with multiple bad actors."

Anyway I'd better stop now, as I'm likely to just transcribe the whole movie if I drink any more of this coffee...

PS: In case you get that impression, this film is NOT just about silly lesbian wisecracks and japes, but those are some of the funnier lines.

Samantha The Nurse: "Broke a few bones, mostly shoulder and face. A couple of ribs. They slapped her in a half-ee."

Aunt Alice: "Well that's good, right?"

Judge: Are you an attorney?
Ray Romano: Touche, your highness.

Loved that one.

[–] Barryville 19 years ago

Watched it again. Loved the twins cut off Skip as he tries to profess his love for them with "Dad, we know how you feel." "Don't cheapen it with words."

During the credits when the woman watches the video Zooey's character left for her:

Kate: I'm sorry about Grandpa

Lucy: Nobody blames you.

********

Alice: I don't put people in boxes, I just label them. Like the rebellious teenage lesbian box that you're still stuck in at thirty five.

Alice and Lucy fight

[–] archygyrl 19 years ago

Skip: "I love you guys"

[–] LegendofRonBurgundy 18 years ago

My 2 favorite quotes are:

Kate: Hey!! Could one of you please tell me one nice thing I can say about your dead father.
Lucy: (after long pause) He often called me Andrea for no reason.
Daniel: I was Barry.

^ Ahaha, I just love that. Delivered very well by Kelly Preston. So random.

And also when Hank Azaria's character does the Death of a Salesman scene, and the "special" father puts his hand up. Almost died.

[–] lynsey_poushay 12 years ago

Well. Random until you find out his secret.

[–] BuscemiRULES8 18 years ago

Kate Collins: Hey, hey, hey! You guys! Could one of you *please* tell me one nice thing I can say about your dead father
Lucy Collins: He often called me Andrea for no reason.
Daniel Collins: I was Barry.

the twins mom: "Where did they even hear the term 'erotic cheesecake'?"

and of chorse "Thumting ith thuck to my tongue"

Everyone's a little bit racist sometimes
It doesnt mean we go around commiting hate crimes

[–] virgoprincess98 18 years ago

I also love the conversation between Skip and Lucy in the kitchen the morning after the blackout. "Hidding in the closet" I kept replaying that scene and laughing each time as if I just saw it. But I can't believe nobody mentioned the scene between Alice and Judy during "Cocktail Hour" on the porch.

Alice: So what do you girls do?
Judy: What do you mean we do?
Alice: For fun...
Judy: Go out to eat, go to the movies, stuff like that
Alice: Oh normal stuff, I thought...
Skips enters w/ the drinks
Judy: What did you think we did?
Alice: I,I,I,I,I,I,(takes a sip of her drink) I don't know what you do

I could not stop laughing at how Alice was at a lost for words and she just kept stumbling for something to say and of course Judy's infamous response about "triple-tonguing" made the scene even better.

[–] silenzia 18 years ago

AHAHAHAHA
this is my personal fav one, virgoprincess...
And also a little bit after that when
Skip says: "I mean how are you doing...physically?"
I laughed so hard..oh my...i LOVE this movie...the funniest i've seen in the past few years..

lucy to judy: "you remember skip? and his two boys tim and jim?"
skip: "yeah, close enough"

"Don't throw a lemon at me in front of a lesbian." Makes me laugh everytime

me too it is great also

how often do you smoe pot dad? never in the morning

[–] Im_Luvin_It402665 18 years ago

"Someting tuck oo my tongue!"

and of course, "Dad, is that a joint?"

"Bleh? What's a 'bleh'? Is that one of your jive words like 'Emancipation'?" Drawn Together

[–] riddle-mc-ri 18 years ago

My absolute fave makes me laugh every time...
Ryan: "Your family's a weed-head"
!! It doesnt even make sense!

Also, in the basement when Katie says "are you smoking pot again?" and Daniel nods and skip says "yeah, that's what we're doing", then also when katie leaves saying "i'm not here" then Skip says "She says she wasn't here...but she was here"

Also in the extended basement scene on the dvd, when ryan's been there for ages then says something, and daniel says "oh, hey ryan", pointing out the fact that he's such a boring non-person that nobody even noticed his presence...haha

But did anyone else notice the weird way every time someone smoked the joint they would then pick something off their tongue? I swear that's not normal...

[–] geny82 18 years ago

Maybe not to do it every time, but yeah, with joints and blunts you often get weed on your tongue.

Karen, if you see Jesus, tell him to take the gerbil babies! They're Christians!

[–] Lisa_C_Fremont 18 years ago

Lucy is telling a story about Alice's wild days
"...And she was expelled. So next week..."

(smokes the joint and then pulls something out of her mouth and wipes it Judy's pants and doesn't finish tellin the story)
"So next week?"
"what's next week?"
"You were tellin a story."
(Lucy looks confused)
"A story about Alice."
"Oh yea, (starts laughin and starts the story over) so one time Alice comes to school right..."
"You said that already"
"Oh well she was wearin this..."
"You said that, too"
"Fast Foward"

Just because i'm lazy doesn't mean that blah blah bla.... yeah

[–] kirstone 18 years ago

oh man, that conversation in the basement had me giggle-laughing like i was high.
and the vag in a town. what's a vag? my dad & i laughed our arses off.

I aim to misbehave.

[–] Akita-Evita 18 years ago

These are all from the extended basement scene...they should have left it in the film, it's awesome.

Lucy: Sshh, I heard something. [pause] Malice!
Daniel: Whatever happened to Alice?
Skip: Yeah, who dumped her in the bitch tank?

Katie: What do you want, dad?
Daniel: What, you mean for the end...of me?

Judy: Good thing he didn't want us to eat him...

Judy: Uh oh, she's adding ingredients to her personality.

[–] IndiePhlem 18 years ago

I like the part where everyone got high in the basement, and Alice and the Nurse are making out in the car, so the siblings are watching them, and Judy comes up from behind them and says: "I love you guys." That cracked me up.

Prof. X: I'd have Jean braid your hair...Welcome back.
