Quotes6

  • [to their parents]
  • Matt Finley: Just one thing: we don't take sociology.
  • T.J. Krupp: You guys should pay more attention.
  • T.J. Krupp: My dad treats my mom like dirt.
  • Matt Finley: And my dad's coming up on his second year with Louise.
  • Gregory Alan 'Grover' Beindorf: So?
  • Matt Finley: So he always divorces in his second year, you know that, it's like clockwork.
  • Gregory Alan 'Grover' Beindorf: Your parents are here because you guys said they needed help. Now you could care less, you're too busy playing football or watching TV or having some party. I have news for you: this was my idea, and it's not a game, and it's not a party, and I'm not doing it to impress anybody. Now you got that, Matt? Or are you too busy kissing up to T.J.?
  • T.J. Krupp: [grabs Grover] What's wrong with that?
  • Gregory Alan 'Grover' Beindorf: Go ahead... beat me up.
  • T.J. Krupp: [setting a trip wire trap for Chief Rocco] Hey, that old fart still thinks he's the chief of police, he's dangerous, alright?
  • Gregory Alan 'Grover' Beindorf: But I still don't see why we need this.
  • T.J. Krupp: [bringing their parents to Grover's to lock them in the basement] It took us over 6 hours to get them here, we ain't taking them back.
  • T.J. Krupp: [installing the security door] Folks, you're looking at the Enforcer 2000, it's the best security door that money can buy. Now uh, there's no need to thank me, it's my gift to you, and since you're my favorite new customers, here's a little bonus gift.
  • [shows off jumper cables]
  • T.J. Krupp: A shiny new pair of jumper cables, which just so happen to be connected to two, count em, two 12-bolt car batteries in my backpack, now that's why you're gonna hand over the knife, Mr. Beindorf.
  • Ned Beindorf: [confused] What are you talking about?
  • T.J. Krupp: Let's just say that this tomato here is you, gentleman, please?
  • [destroys tomato and it splatters them]
  • Janet Beindorf: Well... he wouldn't use that on us.
  • Ned Beindorf: No, he wouldn't.
  • Janet Beindorf: So let's go.
  • T.J. Krupp: Give it to me, Mr. Beindorf!
  • Ned Beindorf: [nervously] Of course.
  • T.J. Krupp: Now, give me whatever Mrs. Beindorf was digging with.
  • Janet Beindorf: That was mine, he was using this piece of chair.
  • T.J. Krupp: Give it to me and give me the rest of the chair too!
  • Ned Beindorf: Why not just tell him everything? Maybe "Hey, here's my social security number", I'm surprised you're not up there helping them.
  • Janet Beindorf: Well if you were, they'd never finish.
  • T.J. Krupp: Good, catch you later.
  • Ned Beindorf: Who is this guy?
  • T.J. Krupp: Remember, this hurts us more than than it hurts you.
