You know what Jacob said. Jacob said that old Billy Henchel was killed in a car crash. Head on collision with a freight truck. Cleared his car straight over the bridge into the Mississippi.

Lucky bastard.

You bet.

Hey, how is he anyway?

Jacob, moron. Jacob!

John
Did you hear, someone moved into the old Klickner place? A woman.
Grandpa
A woman?
John
Yeah.
Grandpa
Did you mount her?
John
Ohhh, Dad!
Grandpa
Well the woman, does she have big thighs?
John
No!
Grandpa
No?! Then what's the problem? If I was a young fella like you, I'd be mounting every woman in Wabasha. (Grabs the six pack of beer out of his son's hands). Keep the change!
Max
Morning, dickhead.
John
Hello, moron.
Max
Hey dickhead, win the lottery?
John
Enjoy your shower, smartass?

Hypothermia's a bitch. It ain't quick like a stroke.

A stroke's no damn good; you could end up a vegetable! Give me a cardiac any day.

Oh he's fine. Real busy, but he promised to come home for Thanksgiving.
John
Is he running for mayor?
Max
Make a damn fine mayor too.

It's a good thing he's his mother's son. If he looked anything like you, he'd never get on the ballot.
Max
[Insulted]
Eat my shorts!
John is worried about having safe sex.
John (to Ariel, who just locked his door): I thought you said...

Tell me something, Chuck. Do I stink?

Not you, smart ass! Didn't ask you. I could smell it from the car, this stink. Is it me?
Max
[smells his hat]
Damn!
John
[John is asleep at 1:30 in the morning when he heard knocking on the door and his doorbell ringing.] [Assuming it's Snyder of the IRS coming back to his home in the middle of the night.]
Oh my god, they've come for me.
[John attempts to use the same way that he has to avoid Snyder, but he slips and slides off the part of the roof closest to his room. To his surprise, John is face to face with Ariel.]
John
Let me remind you Einstein that May was no prize.
Max
She was to me!
John
I was married to the woman, 20 years. She was no prize!
Max
She was to me!
John
Yeah, well that's why you're a moron! If you ended up with May, you would never had Amy and Amy was a good woman.
Max
She was the best.
John
She was damn sight more loyal than May ever was.
