Quotes 

  • Frances : [looking at Ruby Sue surprised]  Oh my gosh, her eyes aren't crossed anymore.

    Eddie : That somethin' ain't it? She falls down a well, her eyes go crossed. She gets kicked by a mule. They go back to normal. I don't know.

    [laughs] 

    Eddie : And this here's our pride and joy Snots.

    [Snots blusters a sneeze] 

    Clark : Pretty name Ed.

    Eddie : [Snots puts his snotty nose on Rusty, and he makes a disgusted face]  Yeah we named him that because he's got this sinus condition. Snots you roll over and let uncle Clark scratch your belly.

  • [after Clark fails at lighting all the exterior Christmas lights at the "lighting ceremony" in front of the entire family] 

    Frances : Talk about pissing your money away. I hope you kids see what a silly waste of resources this was.

    Audrey : He worked really hard, Grandma.

    Art : So do washing machines.

  • Audrey : [Peeling a carrot]  Would it be indecent to ask the grandparents to stay at a hotel?

    Ellen : Audrey!

    Audrey : Well can we at least forbid them to answer the phone? Alexander called this morning and grandpa Clark told him... I couldn't come to the phone 'cause I was going to the bathroom.

    Ellen : We're all making sacrifices, Audrey.

    Audrey : Everybody? Do you sleep with your brother? Do you know how sick and twisted that is, mom?

    Ellen : [Grabs a box of matches off the fridge]  Well, I'm sleeping with your father. Don't be so dramatic.

    Audrey : I have nightmares about what he does in his bed alone when I'm not lying right next to him.

    Ellen : Well, I don't know what to say, except it's Christmas and we're all in misery.

    [Lights up a cigarette to smoke and Frances calls out from the next room] 

    Frances : Ellen, are you smoking again?

    [Ellen puts out the cigarette] 

    Ellen : No!

    [Grabs a cabbage and chops it in half]
