Quotes 

• Tom : This year is gonna be different. We're in a groove now. We don't argue like we used to.

  Sarah : [from the other end of the house]  What? Connor!

  Tom : [dejectedly]  Wow, I really set myself up there, huh?

  Sarah : What is "Alicia Silverstick" doing in your closet?

  Connor : [Connor snatches the stick from Sarah's hand]  First of all, his name is "Stickolas Cage."

  Marina : Okay, I'm guessing there's a backstory that we're gonna have to hear about?

  Tom : 1995, family trip to Yosemite, these two find a stick and start arguing over it. That's it, that's the end of the backstory.

  Denise : So to be clear, it's just a stick?

  Sarah : No, it's a lucky stick.

  Connor : Yeah. We got locked in the cabin and used this stick to break a window.

  Sarah : And you said it got lost.

  Connor : It did, and then I found it.

  Sarah : My... that's my stick! Stop it! You know it!

  Tom : Hey, guys? Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys!

  [Connor and Sarah grunting on the floor fighting over the stick] 

  Muriel : [Marshall and Muriel walk in through the front door]  Every single year.

• Muriel : 42 years together.

  Marshall : If you'd told me I'd settle down with the same woman for 42 years, I would have said, "You're dreaming, pal."

  Sarah : Wow, so romantic.

  Denise : It's a love story for the ages.

• Muriel : [calls out]  Thomas Chandler Hayworth.

  Tom : [anxiously]  Here we go.

  Marina : Don't worry. If it gets ugly, we just get in the car and start driving.

  Tom : You really think it's gonna be that bad?

  Marina : I've had a bag packed ever since you started writing the book.
