Quotes5

  • Oliver Poe: [spotting the recently divorced Bensons with their respective dates, at his standing room only nightclub, dressed like hippies] Well, look who just came in... split-city. I think I'll go over and deflate some egos.
  • Laverne Baker: Now, Oliver, don't cause any trouble.
  • Oliver Poe: [gleefully] Me? Trouble? Preposterous!
  • Oliver Poe: [walking over to Benson's table] Who are you supposed to be, Sabu's mother?
  • Frank Benson: Look Flabberino, why don't you leave and make room for like six more tables?
  • Oliver Poe: Sold any mud, lately? Well, well, well. One big happy family. I don't get it.
  • Oliver Poe: [pointing to the ex-Mrs. Benson] You're with him...
  • Oliver Poe: [pointing to Lois' breasts] ... and he's with those... I mean, her.
  • Frank Benson: Back up Moby Dick, how would you like your flab parted in the front, too.
  • Oliver Poe: I'm getting out of here before I punch a senior citizen in the snoot.
  • Frank Benson: Oh, I believe you know, Lois.
  • Elaine Benson: [stares at Lois' huge breasts] If I didn't, I certainly do know.
  • Lois Grey: Well, it's nothing you couldn't buy.
  • Frank Benson: [meeting Poe for the first time in church] I'm in real estate.
  • Oliver Poe: But not deep enough. I have a horrible feeling we've met before. Does 7719 Hillside Drive mean anything to you?
  • Frank Benson: Isn't that a three bedroom, hillside colonial with patio, wet bar, and over-sized bay window? Nothing personal.
  • Oliver Poe: Tee-hee. You forgot to mention the hill in the back and the guaranteed retaining wall.
  • Frank Benson: Yeah, well... I sell so many, I forget the details.
  • Oliver Poe: Twenty thousand tons of mud in a swimming isn't exactly a detail!
  • Oliver Poe: [grabbing Benson's arm] The house was on a hill until it rained then the hill was on the house.
  • Oliver Poe: [shouting] That was twenty years ago and they're still digging to find the backyard.
  • Frank Benson: Lower your voice, Poe. This is a church not a street corner.
  • Oliver Poe: Don't look down your nose at me you pompous, pious, prig. If I had known she was your daughter we wouldn't be standing here in two rented monkey suits waiting to sacrifice two nice kids on the alter of same ancient fertility rite.
  • Nancy Benson: [introducing her fiancé to her father] David comes from a broken home.
  • David Poe: I was the only child in kindergarten who could spell dirty words correctly.
  • Frank Benson: I'm amazed you didn't write a best-seller.
  • Elaine Benson: [on the Baba Ziba religion] Isn't that when they meet in the nude and roll around together on lawn in Santa Barbara?
  • Nancy Benson: No. It's direct, simple and pure.
  • Frank Benson: And much better for the lawn.
