- Larry Buckman: [after he rolls from a moving car, he stands up and brushes himself off] Hi, Dad. Dinner ready?
- Frank: [bewildered] What was that?
- Larry Buckman: Huh? Oh, some - friends were just dropping me off.
- Frank: Friends? Friends slow down, they even stop!
- [Larry walks away chuckling as Cool catches up to him]
- Marilyn Buckman: Cool is adorable. Adorable! Why didn't you write us when you had a son?
- Larry Buckman: I didn't know myself until a couple of months ago. You see, a few years ago, I was living in Vegas with this girl. Showgirl. She was in that show "Elvis On Ice". Anyhow, we drifted apart, as people do in these complicated times, and then a couple of months ago, she shows up with Cool and tells me "You watch him. I shot someone. I have to leave the country." That's a parent?
- Gil: [Gil and Larry are reuniting] How long has it been? Three years?
- Larry Buckman: Something like that.
- Gil: You stopped wearing your turban!
- Larry Buckman: [laughs] Yeah!
- Larry Buckman: Dad, I can't get a break. I have been so close so many times I could touch it.
- Frank: Did you ever think about getting a job?
- Larry Buckman: Oh great. Oh that is just great now. What did you always tell me? "Make your mark, don't be one of the numbers."
- Frank: You misunderstood me. You weren't listening.
- Larry Buckman: [approaching Grandma] Is that Grandma?
- Frank: Yeah, she's still alive.
- Larry Buckman: [Larry and Grandma laugh and embrace] Jeez Grandma, you got short.
- Grandma: I'm shrinking!
- Larry Buckman: [briefly chuckles] Bummer!
