Quotes[]
Louis: So how do we feel about these aviators? I think I look great, like a business pilot. Eddie: They're a bit serial killer-y. Louis: Okay. Good feedback. Tad harsh, but fair. So then, how about these browline clubmasters? Style on top, substance down below. Evan: Have you considered a monocle? You could be like Mr. Peanut! Emery: What's up with the glasses anyways, Dad? You're always touting your 20/20 vision. Louis: Well, I'm excited to report those clear-seeing days are over because I'm turning 40! The age one's vision officially begins to fail. |
Honey: Oh, speaking of birthdays, what did you get Louis for his 40th? Jessica: What I always get him. A tie. Honey: A tie? Don't you want to get him something a little nicer? Jessica: I thought about getting it monogrammed, but I don't like his initials. Honey: I just mean turning 40 is a big deal. If this were the Middle Ages, he'd be the oldest person in the world. Jessica: Well, it's not the Middle Ages. Everyone turns 40 these days. You hit triple digits, then we will talk. |
Jessica: Well, if you're such gift experts, what did you get Marvin when he turned 40? Honey: Uh... I was 8. Honey: So nothing then. |
Eddie: But, Dad, this is your big 4-0. We should spend it celebrating everything that makes you you. Evan: To list – great friends, great food, music and dancing. You love dancing. Emery: Weren't you the Cha Cha King of Taipei? Can't dance in the woods. Louis: I guess that's true. I wasn't burning firewood in my day. I was burning up dance floors. You give me a soft leather sole and a beat, and I'd give you the world. Emery: See? All we're saying is it's your 40th. You should go big. Eddie: And think about it, you won't get another milestone birthday until you're 50. Emery: And who knows where we'll all be by then? Evan: Yeah. Ten years from now, I could be studying in Paris. Or at the rate I'm skipping grades, governing it. Eddie: And I'll probably be coming off the bench for the Knicks. I mean, someone's got to foul Shaq. Louis: I guess I never thought of it that way. You know what? Let's do it. |
Evan: I'm already thinking about that Shirley Temple. The key is the two-to-one ratio of grenadine to Sprite. Eddie: Two to one?! Way too sweet! What are you, a hummingbird? |
Eddie: There are five pages on color schemes. How many versions of gold can there be? "Muted Champagne"? "October Wheat"? Emery: There's an entire section called "Vibe." Evan: That's what caught your eye? Not the tab labeled "Coconut Bras Question mark"? |
Emery: We should do what we always do when we have an enormous amount of schoolwork – Buckle in and do it all in one day. Evan: Like the time we knocked out two English papers, a science experiment, and built the White House out of sugar cubes. It opened up our Sunday for filing Freedom of Information requests. Emery: They may not have figured out who shot JFK, but we will. |
Louis: I'm gonna teach you the cha-cha, and we'll perform it together at my party! Evan: What? Louis: This is perfect. You know, I learned when I was your age. Eddie: But we're three different ages. |
Emery: "Suck it up and go camping," I said, but no. No one listens to me. Evan: You're the one who reminded him he's the Cha Cha King of Taipei. Eddie: He's the king of this? What kind of kingdom is this? |
Jessica: We realized that the one thing you love more than anything in the world is spending time with your family. Emery: We also took some inspiration from that depressing movie you love. Louis: You watched "Legends"? Evan: For Anthony Hopkins to go from Hannibal Lecter to Colonel Ludlow? The range. Eddie: And we're sorry, Dad. We made your 40th birthday all about us when it's supposed to be about you. Louis: Oh, it's okay. Maybe I went a bit overboard. When you said my next milestone would be 50, I realized you boys will be out of the house. You'll be gone. Eddie: Dad, no matter where we are, we'll always come back to see you. |
