Quotes[]

Louis: Oh, my God, it's happened!
Eddie: They found Tupac!
Louis: No, Eddie, you're shaving.
Louis: Oh. Yeah. Some girls at school started calling me "Cheech," so I figured it was time to–
Louis: "Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it. And, which is more, you'll be a man, my son." Rudyard Kipling.
Eddie: Dad, what are you–
Louis: Shh. I'm hugging you.
Eddie: Why?
Louis: Because today is the day you stop being a boy and start being a man. Take a lip. When your mom and I found out we were having a baby boy, you know the first thing I did?
Eddie: Cried in the car listening to James Taylor. Mom already told me.
Louis: No, I drove to the drugstore and bought two things – A roll of celebratory Mentos for myself and a Gillette Atra Plus for you. Eddie, I've kept that razor in my closet for 14 years waiting for the day you would need to use it. Today is that day!
Eddie: Wow, Dad, I guess this is a big moment for me. I'm glad you're here for it.
Jessica: Michelle Kwan lost. How could this happen? She was supposed to win! How could she not win?! She did everything right! Evan and Emery believe in Michelle Kwan the winner. If they find out that they can work that hard and still come in second, they'll never work hard again.
Emery: What would Michelle do?
Evan: Use her focus and determination to get to the bottom of it?
Emery: Then we will, too. We'll be like Woodward and Bernstein.
Evan: Or Chip 'n' Dale!
Marvin: You've been too soft on that boy, Lou.
Louis: I don't know. My dad was extremely tough on me when I was Eddie's age, and our relationship never recovered. Eddie and I aren't like that. We're friends.
Marvin: Okay, so maybe your dad wasn't your best friend, but look how you turned out. You're a very successful small-business owner with your own home, great family. Fathers can't be friends with their sons. Not if they want them to grow up to be responsible adults.
Louis: So, what do I do?
Marvin: Well, you have to be the angry bull elephant. Only discipline can bring the herd back together.
Louis: Look, I just don't want us to grow apart because that's what happened with me and my dad.
Eddie: Just because I want to do something on my own doesn't mean I don't still need you, Dad. You and I are friends. I'm always gonna need that.
Louis: Wait, you and Dave haven't stolen anything else, have you?
Eddie: No way! I know a good idea from a bad one. I'm lucky to have you around to teach me stuff like that. Not everyone's that lucky.
Emery: You know, your Sharpie is slightly thinner than hers.
Evan: It worked, didn't it? The truth that Michelle Kwan did everything right and still lost would crush mom. She needs to believe.
