One of my all-time favorites. In the top 5, for sure. And so fuckin' quotable lmao.

"What are you giving him drugs for? What the hell are Pirin tablets?"

"It's aspirin with the "A" and the "S" scraped off."

"My God, what a brilliant idea."

"I know."

I die every time they're talking about South Beach and how long they had been there what the area was like when they arrived, and the mom is just like "Oh really? Barbara told us it was mostly sand," loooool

“He can’t do that while I’m SING-ING!”

[jinxeh13]

"Whatever I am, he made me! I was adorable once, young and full of hope. And now look at me! I'm this short, fat, insecure, middle-aged THING!"

"I made you short?"

[kerosene_pill]

It's the way he gently says "I made you short?" and Albert's screamflail after that fucking kills me lmao

[jinxeh13]

What a duo together, honestly. Just amazing energy.

"She transcends your desire to chew"

Sweetie, you're wasting your gum!

[skyler_white_yo]

Are those boys playing leap frog?

[jinxeh13]

"Is Albert here?"

"No."

"Great. Then he's driving back from Miami at 20 miles an hour with the parking brake on."

That movie came out when I was in middle school, and all of that when over my head when I saw it. I didn't truly understand how funny it was until I saw it again as an adult 🤣

"mine has a girl! doesn't yours have a girl?"

[archersangel]

"I might need glasses, but I can see that's not a girl."

Robin falling down in the kitchen when they're getting the stew together always cracks me up. I guess he accidentally fell and they left it in the scene!

[jinxeh13]

Loool, I love it. I've read before that the director made them do each scene "properly," to the script, at least once before he would let them go crazy improvising, so it doesn't surprise me they would leave "goofs" in as well as long as it worked with the scene lol.

[spacemonkey_699]

That's exactly what happened lol and it absolutely destroys me every time, especially when Robin almost breaks

[milkradio]

love that bit 🤣
