Quotes[]
Louis: Well, with Chinese New Year coming up, we're gonna need extra fresh cuts. Better make it two usuals. Evan: Actually, I'll have the "Randy." Louis: The who? Evan: Randy from Home Improvement. You know, Jonathan Taylor Thomas. Louis: Is that one person or three people? Evan: One, but with the talent of three. |
Louis: Art thou the bird who man loves best? The pious bird with the scarlet breast. Jessica: Is that a "Yes, I returned Marvin's birdfeeder" or a "No, I didn't return Marvin's birdfeeder"? Louis: Yes, I returned it. Jessica: Good, Louis is clean. That just leave you boys, with the exception of Emery, who is clean all year round. |
Emery: Mom's just looking out for future us. Eddie: Well, she better also be looking our for Mariah Carey because that's who the future me is married to. Evan: I'm gonna marry Jewel. [to Emery] Stay away from Jewel. |
Jessica: This could be the first time our entire family has a clean slate for the New Year! Imagine what that kind of good fortune could mean for our future business dealings and scratch-offs. Emery: But, Mom, you've never had a clean slate. You always end up getting into a fight with somebody. You're kind of a loose cannon. Jessica: A loose cannon downs more ships. |
Louis: Do you know how hard it is to find a good barber? It's like dating but for your hair. Evan: He's not that good, Dad. I mean, look at this mess. I asked for a "Randy," and he gave me a "Brad." Louis: Nobody knows who those people are! I've been going to Reuben since we moved to Orlando. I can't start over and find somebody new. Evan: Maybe he won't know who sent it. I signed the letter "Unhappy Customer." Louis: Oh, really? What else did it say? Evan: It said, "You don't know how to cut Asian hair. I asked for a 'Randy,' and you gave me a 'Brad.'" Louis: Evan, he's gonna know that's us! |
Simon: Are you sure I'm controlling the Koopas? Eddie: Yeah, yeah, I told you, I control Mario, and you control the Koopas and the Boos. It's how the game works. |
Eddie: Hey, Simon. Have you ever... built a bear? Simon: I built a miniature model of the Titanic once for history class. I used Tic Tacs for the life boats. Eddie: Uh-huh. Well, here, you build a bear. All the cool kids do it. Simon: Okay, do you want to build one together? We can make it a blend of both of us. What boy names do you like? I like Carl. Eddie: It's kind of something you do by yourself. Like, the bear chooses you. That kind of thing. Have fun. |
Louis: This is great. Reuben hasn't gotten your letter yet. Evan: Great? Look at my hair. I look like Grace Jones. Louis: What's the problem? She's a handsome woman. |

Emery: Why didn't you stick up for me? Don't you believe me? Jessica: Of course, I believe you. We're supposed to be avoiding conflicts, not starting new ones. Emery: Last week, you yelled at a bus driver for not wearing his hat. But the one time I need you to get angry for me, you leave me hanging? You care more about your holiday superstitions than you do about me. Jessica: No. That is not true. I just want our whole family to start out the New Year on the right foot for once. That is worth $5 to me. So please, just go in there and give that man his money. Emery: No way. |
Louis: So you didn't exactly get the haircut you wanted. I didn't like my haircut when I first went to Reuben. I wanted the "Clooney," but he gave me this. After a while, I got used to it. Evan: Why'd you keep going back to him if it wasn't what you wanted? Louis: I don't know. He was just so nice. He called me "Big Guy." I didn't want to hurt his feelings. Plus, it's a good haircut. Evan: But it could be a great haircut. You said that finding the right barber was like dating. Would you have settled for anyone less than Mom? Louis: No. Evan: You deserve the "Clooney," Dad. We all do. |
Eddie: You're amazing, dawg. How'd you get so dope at freestyling? Simon: I love hip-hop. Eddie: How come you never said anything? Simon: You never asked. |
Jessica: I'm sorry for not having your back. Emery: I get it. It's Chinese New Year, and you wanted to start clean. Jessica: It's not just that. I didn't stand up for you because I don't want to set that kind of example for you. I don't want to teach you that fighting is always the answer. Emery: But you fight with, like, everybody... Delivery guys, firemen, the cat outside the frozen yogurt place. Jessica: Yes. And you're good. And you get along with everybody. And you're always smiling. I don't want you to be more like me. I want to be more like you. Emery: I've witnessed the softening of the hardest of hearts by a simple smile. Goldie Hawn said that. |
