Quotes41

  • Mama Klump: Sherman, I think I do remember hearing something on TV about colon cleansin'. They say everyone should have one. I'm thinkin' about gettin' me an appointment and go down and get my colon cleansed thoroughly.
  • Papa Klump: You want your colon cleansed? Fine, I'm gonna clean mine.
  • [lets a loud fart, and Ernie Klump Jr. laughs harder and harder]
  • Papa Klump: There. Now my colon is clean. I'm talking squeaky clean.
  • Mama Klump: Cletus, that is disgusting. We're tryin' to have a meal and you wanna start breaking gas. Don't break gas and destroy our meal.
  • Papa Klump: Don't tell me to stop! You're the one that brought up colon cleansin' and all that mess!
  • Mama Klump: I did not say anything about breakin' gas! I said I was going to get my colon cleaned.
  • Papa Klump: Don't you talk about putting a tube up somebody's ass, but I can't break wind.
  • Mama Klump: I didn't say nothing about putting no hose up nobody's ass. Cletus, I said...
  • Papa Klump: What you think a colonic is? You think you're gonna run your asshole by the car wash?
  • [Ernie Jr. starts choking from eating and out-of-control laughter]
  • Mama Klump: You're choking the baby.
  • Papa Klump: As long as I pay the bills, I do what I want at this table. Case in point.
  • [lets another loud fart]
  • Grandma Klump: Who's that calling my name?
  • Mama Klump: Yeah, I'll call you up if your name is...
  • [farts in finishing his sentence, then laughs in mockery]
  • Grandma Klump: Keep insulting me.
  • [picks up a knife]
  • Grandma Klump: I'll toss this between the crack of your ass.
  • Papa Klump: Yeah. You know, I can go all night.
  • [lets another loud fart]
  • Mama Klump: Keep farting. I hope you fart until your asshole falls out.
  • [Cletus lets another fart, Ernie Sr laughs loudly and then Ernie Jr. manages to follow along]
  • Mama Klump: Oh, my baby too!
  • [Cletus lets another loud fart that this time sounds wet]
  • Papa Klump: Oops! Now, see what you made me do?
  • [starts running away clutching his pants]
  • Papa Klump: Goddamn it, I messed up my pants!
  • Ernie Klump: Damn, Daddy. You rotten.
  • Mama Klump: You've got to clean 'em yourself!
  • Grandma Klump: Come on, Cletus! It ain't nuthin' but a short walk. You might walk over, but you limpin' back! I ain't no easy win, nigga!
  • Mama Klump: Cletus, come clean this garbage up.
  • Papa Klump: Man, I'm watchin' TV!
  • Grandma Klump: I'll kick your lazy ass up.
  • Papa Klump: I told you, none of your damn business!
  • Grandma Klump: You lazy mother...!
  • Buddy Love: What's wrong with that breath? I can smell it over here! Reggie, your breath is so stinky, people look forward to your farts. Breath smells like shit! Do you smell shit?
  • [sniffs]
  • Buddy Love: I SMELL SHIT!
  • [Sherman has bloated back into himself after being Buddy Love at the banquet]
  • Sherman Klump: If you give me a moment, I believe I can try to explain. My research is, um... Well, I... When I started out, I wanted to help people. But then I became desperate and selfish. And what I did was wrong. Buddy's who I thought the whole world wanted me to be. He's who I thought I wanted to be. And sometimes when you want something so so bad, you'll do just about anything to get it. But I learned one thing from Buddy. I learned that life is not about being happy about how much you weigh, but just being happy with yourself. I'm terribly sorry about all of this, I hope I haven't ruined everybody's evening. Please excuse me.
  • [to Carla]
  • Sherman Klump: Sorry.
  • Sherman Klump: The truth is, Carla, I'm a big man. Now I will lose weight, but I'm always gonna be big no matter what I do. So anyone I end up with is just going to have to accept me for who I am. More importantly, I'm going to have to accept *myself* for who I am.
  • Buddy Love: [to Carla] Are you ready to go upstairs?
  • [Carla slaps him]
  • Buddy Love: I guess not.
  • Buddy Love: Someone has to tend to Chunky Butt's sex life. Chunky Butt is extremely horny.
  • Buddy Love: [making fun of Reggie's hair] Reggie, I heard of dreadlocks, but shitlocks? That ain't you hair, man. Take that pile of shit off your head.
  • [Cletus farting at dinner with his family and in front of Carla, Ernie Jr laughing]
  • Grandma Klump: There you go again, popping off gas in front of this lovely young lady.
  • Mama Klump: We're trying to have a meal, you want to put that break on your gas!
  • Grandma Klump: Shame on you. I hope your ass turn into a frog.
  • Papa Klump: She ain't that cute that I have to hold that gas in my ass!
  • Mama Klump: Don't nobody want to hear your flatulence, Cletus Klump!
  • [Cletus lets a fart]
  • Mama Klump: You're such a disgrace!
  • Papa Klump: I stopped holding my gas a long time ago, you know that?
  • Mama Klump: Cletus, you're gonna spoil the dinner table at everybody!
  • Papa Klump: You say one more word...
  • Mama Klump: Look at how y'all influenced this baby.
  • [Ernie Jr continues laughing and Sherman puts his hands on his head]
  • Sherman Klump: I'm thin! I'm thin! Look at my cheekbones! I have cheekbones! Look at my cheekbones! Yes! Look at my chest! Look at my breasts! Oh, I don't have breasts! I'm an A cup! I don't even need a bra anymore! Oh, God! I'm thin, I'm thin, I'm thin! I'm thin, I'm thin, oh!

  • Dean Richmond: You won't. I know you won't. As a matter of fact, I know you're going to be perfect! Do you know how I know all these things? I know them because if you're *not* perfect, never mind the yelling, the screaming and the firing. If anything goes wrong, for any reason
  • [pause]
  • Dean Richmond: I'm going to kill you. And I don't mean that as a euphemism, I am going to literally kill you. I'm going to strangle you and choke off your air supply until you pass away.
