Quotes

• Dale: Now that Joseph is 13, I'm teaching him the family exterminating business. I've named this little fella Joseph. To be an effective killer, you must learn to first kill a little bit of yourself.

• Genealogist: Lots of Americans have ancestors who were royalty: African princesses, Gaelic chieftains. Tracing them just takes time and money and a flexible definition of royalty.

Bill: I have all three!

• Bill: My family! 85 names. Well, a lot of them won't be blood kin, but I say, "It's a family reunion! Invite 'em all and let God sort 'em out!"

• Bobby: But I thought you didn't want me to cook.

Hank: It's not cooking, Bobby. It's barbecue.

• Bill: Think about it. A kid lasts only about, what, 80 years tops? But literature goes on forever.

• Buck: If I knew this bad boy's secret, I could make me a second fortune. Might come in handy if my bastard son Ray Roy ever gets hold of a competent lawyer.

• Bill: Wow, Gilbert will preserve our name with his magazine and now I'll get to pass it down, too. People will eat my food and say, "Boy, those Dauterives were something. It's a shame they're extinct."

• Bill: By family tradition, we only light the fire with a page of good news from the paper.

Bobby: "Baboon arrives safely at Space Station."

Bill: Space monkeys are always good news.

• Bill: Hank, if I don't act honourably, there's no point in preserving my name. It's just a word that women have trouble remembering.

• Bill: But I guess there's no reason we can't make it and give it away at, say, a party for your mom's birthday. It's the 17th, right?

Bobby: If you say so.
