The Great Outdoors quotes

Three Raccoons

Hey kids… New people in the loon's nest!
They have Illinois plates, Mom.
If they're from Chicago, we'll be eating good.
Lobster Tails!
A shitload of raw hot dogs!
You know what they're made of… Lips and assholes!
Rock on the top of the cans.
That never works.
We'll just knock the cans over.
Of course we will.
Can I stay up again and watch the big guy rake up all the mess?
Where're the garbage cans?
They're not the cleanest species on the face of the earth, you know.
It's not a problem. We'll just have to break in.
Can we dot that?
What do you think we have these wonderfully articulate fingers for?
To scratch our asses?
Why's Jody sitting the lake?
You didn't hear?
She got shot in the ass!
Oh no! Don't tell me…
Yup… She's bald in both ends now!

Bartender

He's been struck by lightning... how many times has it been now, Reg?

Reg

S-s-s-s-s-s-s-six...

Six times?

Reg

S-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-sixty-sixty-six times. In-n-n-n-n-n-n-In-n-n-n-n-n-n-In-n-n-n-n-n-n the head!

Ben

Dad?

Yes, Ben?

Ben

Does this mean we won't be getting Christmas presents this year from Aunt Kate and Uncle Roman?

Buck

Oh, blow it out of your ass, Ben!

Connie

Okay, nobody is blowing anything out of their ass. What we are having is a little problem, and it doesn't mean your father and I don't love your Aunt Kate and Uncle Roman, what it means is that we're having some emotions.

What it means, what it means is that I would like to blow Uncle Roman out of my ass, that's what it means!

Connie

I don't want to hear anything else about anyone blowing anything out of their ass!

Ben

You might as well blow the whole family out of your ass while you're at it, Dad!

Do you understand what's going on here, son? Do you know what your mother and I are trying to say?

Ben

Aunt Kate and Uncle Roman are incredible butt-heads, right?
Chet and Connie (in unison): Exactly!

And by the way, don't try to steal any of our stuff on your way out!

Kate

Stuff? What stuff is there to steal?

Connie

Oh, we got stuff!

Kate

You're a louse!

Connie

Well, why don't you go find yourself a spin cycle!

Yeah, go find yourself a spin cycle! (turning to Connie) What the hell does that mean?

Kate

Ahh!

[Kate and Roman run out of their bedroom]

What?

Kate

It touched me!

It's been touching you for 12 years. You never freak!

Kate

Not you!

Kate
[Kate hits Roman on the arm]

A thing.

What thing?

[comes out of his bedroom, along with the rest of the family, and turns on the lights]

What's going on?

Kate

That thing!

[points to a bat]

Oh, it's just a little sparrow.

Kate

Come on, Roman. It's got ears!
[everyone screams and runs out of the cabin]

[Chet getting pulled behind the boat on water-skis]

You bastard, you bastard!

I think he's saying go faster.

You know what the gourmet here wanted? Hot dogs! You know what they're made of, Chet? Huh? Lips and assholes!
