Quotes 

  • [Chet and Roman are arguing] 

    Chet : You've got an awful lot of nerve, Roman, a lot of nerve.

    Roman : It's served me well, I'm the one with the Mercedes.

    Chet : By the way, is it paid for?

    Roman : Are you jealous? Chester!

    Chet : Don't call me Chester! Call me that one more time and you're gonna go home with a dent in your forehead!

    Kate Craig : Oh yeah, that'll be the day!

    Chet : Would you like one to match his?

    Roman : [raising his fists]  Hey, take it easy! You wanna go right now?

    Buck Ripley : [breaking them apart]  Dad, dad, dad. No one's denting anybody.

    Roman : Thanks, Bucky.

    Buck Ripley : Oh, bite the big one, Uncle Roman!

    Connie Ripley : Hey, don't talk to adults that way!

    Buck Ripley : Why not?

    Roman : Because it's rude.

    Connie Ripley : Oh, blow it out your ass!

  • Roman : [the family are all seated in the cabin's living room and Roman notices Chet at the fireplace]  Now, what are you up to?

    Chet : [irritably]  What does it look like I'm up to?

    Roman : Well, it looks like you're wanking your crank.

    Chet : I'm trying to get a fire going, all right?

    Roman : Well, you might as well pour ice cubes in there. You're never gonna get a fire going that way. You don't crumple a newspaper up.

    [making jerking motions] 

    Roman : You twist it! Twist it! Lengthwise to stimulate kindling. That's how you get it going.

    Chet : [annoyed]  Maybe, Roman, just maybe, I'm trying to heat the flue.

    Roman : [to the others, sarcastically]  Oh, he's heating the flue. Meanwhile, the human beings in the room are freezing to death.

    Connie Ripley : [spiteful]  I'm not really cold. Not at all.

    Kate Craig : [sarcastic, to Connie]  Oh, thank you for sharing that. Thank you.

    Chet : [mockingly]  I'm SO sorry, Roman, forgive me. Why don't you come over here and show me how it's done? You talk a great game. Come on, let's see a little action. After all, you know everything. You know exactly what to do at any given moment.

    Roman : [insulted, to Kate]  Katie, you were absolutely right. We should have gone to Europe or maybe even Haiti, or Antartica, or the Dead Sea! Would've had a LOT more fun!

    [gets up and walks to the other side of the room] 

    Chet : Is that a fact? Well, nobody forced you to come up HERE, buddy boy. In fact, I don't remember anyone inviting you up here.

    [to Connie] 

    Chet : Do you remember inviting him? I sure as hell don't.

    Roman : [walking towards Chet]  And what exactly is that statement supposed to mean?

    Chet : You figure it out for yourself.

    Roman : No, no, you specify, you clarify Just as a common courtesy, if you don't mind.

    Roman : [to Roman, without looking up from her sewing]  You know damn well what he means.

    Connie Ripley : I think what they're trying to say that we're not welcome!

    Chet : [sarcastic]  Oh-ho, what did I hear? We've got a bingo! You DID figure it out, Kate!

    Roman : [sneers]  So, it's all starting to finally ooze out. It's very interesting, though, isn't it, Katie?

    Roman : Yeah, VERY!

    Roman : Especially, since we threw aside OUR plans, and we had a great European vacation planned, threw aside OUR plans to come up here to show these dead-asses how to start learning to have a good time! Thanks a lot for ruining my vacation, Ripley.

    Chet : [while trying to light a match, he breaks it in anger]  What WAS that? Ruining your vacation, is that what you said? Oh, come on, I DON'T believe, I don't believe I heard you say THAT.

    Chet : [jabs his finger to Chet's chest]  You'd BETTER believe it!

    Chet : [jabbing his finger hard into Roman's chest]  DON'T PUSH IT, ROMAN!

    Chet : You ain't even seen PUSHING yet! You know what the trouble is with you, Ripley? You wouldn't know a good time if it fell out of the sky, landed on your face, and started to wiggle!

    Roman : [seething]  Oh, you got an awful lot of nerve, Roman. A lot of nerve.

    Roman : Serves me well. I'M the one with the Mercedes.

    Roman : [egging Roman on]  Oh! Ah!

    Chet : By the way, is it paid for?

    Roman : Are you jealous, CHESTER?

    Chet : [jabs his finger into Roman's chest]  DON'T call me Chester! You call me that one more time, you'll be going home with a dent in your forehead!

    Kate Craig : [stands up to join Roman]  Oh-ho, yeah, that'll be the day!

    Kate Craig : [to Kate]  Would you like one to match his?

    Roman : [outraged]  Hey, take your hands off her!

    [puts up his fists] 

    Roman : YOU WANT TO GO, RIGHT NOW?

    Buck Ripley : [steps in to separate them]  Dad, Dad, it's okay. Nobody's denting anybody.

    Roman : Thanks, Bucky.

    Buck Ripley : [takes off his scarf and throws into Roman's hands]  Oh, bite the big one, Uncle Roman!

    Connie Ripley : [to Buck, scolding]  Hey, don't talk to adults that way!

    Buck Ripley : [to Connie]  Why not?

    Roman : [to Buck]  BECAUSE it's rude!

  • Kate Craig : [during a big row]  Roman, why don't we just get out of here, come on honey. Come on girls, let's go!

    Roman : Good idea.

    [they go upstairs] 

    Chet : Well, it's the first good idea you've had since you've been here. And by the way, don't steal any of our stuff.

    Kate Craig : Ha ha, what stuff is there to steal?

    Connie Ripley : We got stuff!

  • Connie Ripley : I don't want to hear any more about anyone blowing anything out of their ass.

  • Connie Ripley : Okay, okay, okay. Nobody's blowing anything out their ass. Okay?

  • Connie Ripley : I just don't feel like this. Can you understand that. I'm tired, I'm stinky.

    Chet : Come on.

    Connie Ripley : What are you doing? Come on.

    Chet : Come on. We got the house by ourselves.

    Connie Ripley : What about the kids?

    Chet : What *about* the kids? They're down the lake.

    Connie Ripley : I don't - let's go to the bedroom then.

    Chet : Why? That's the great thing about being in the North Woods. You can run around naked as a bear and not worry about running into anybody.

    Connie Ripley : Is that right?

    Chet : Yes.

    [kiss] 

    Connie Ripley : Really?

    [kiss] 

    Chet : Do you think it's possible that we could play - fashion parade?

    Connie Ripley : I don't want to play.

    Chet : Why?

    Connie Ripley : You get to wear the good outfits.

    Chet : Oh, no. I'll let you wear them.

    Connie Ripley : You will?

    Chet : Now, ah, you will be Shelana. Shelana, yes. And I will be Burt. Or I could be Smokey's cousin Horny.

    [unsnaps Connie's bra] 

    Connie Ripley : He has endurance too.

    Chet : Yes, he does. Mmm...

    Roman : [walking in with Kate and their twin daughters]  Anybody home?

  • Connie Ripley : I just can't seem to relax in filth.

  • Kate Craig : It's so lonely being wealthy.

    Connie Ripley : Hmm. I wouldn't know about that.

    Kate Craig : No. No, I mean it, honey. I mean it, it is lonely. He works terrible hours. Travels. There'll be times we go a month without going to bed together.

    Connie Ripley : Really? A month? That long?

    Kate Craig : Mm-hm. You know, sometimes I think the only way I'll get any pleasure is by leaning against the washer during the spin cycle.

    Connie Ripley : Does that work?

    Kate Craig : [points to her jacket]  Have you ever seen whiter whites?
