Quotes:

Barbara: I can't call him because he's in a coma!::Julia Lindsey Snyder: A coma? Come on, Barbara. Come up with something a little more original. How about - oh, I know. How about a hole opened up, and James fell into the center of the earth?

[Aaron and Alison discuss their marriage]::Aaron: Alison, we've been through a fire in a barn. We've run from the cops. We've been in jail. Come on, compared to that, what's marriage? Gotta be a piece of cake.

Paul: That woman is unbelievable. She's awesome. She knows exactly what I want her to do, and she does it before I even ask her to do it.::Henry: I had a woman like that once. Once was all I could afford.

Aaron: Talking to Alison is like trying to nail Jello to a tree.

Aaron: Ali, listen, listen. Before we do anything crazy, just explain to me what this part means, okay? "Where fowl reigns supreme and lambs dare not roam and pigs in a blanket say take me home."::Alison: Okay, fowl - that's like chickens and roosters and stuff, right? Okay, and "tuck in but don't let sleeping dogs lie".::Aaron: Ali?::Alison: Shh, I'm about to be brilliant. I got it. The key. The key's is in the buns.::Aaron: Excuse me?::Alison: "Tucked in", get it? The way that you tuck a hotdog inside the bread? I need to buy your buns.

Henry Coleman: [Looking through the Hughes' refrigerator] Give it a few weeks. I've got to tell you something, I've got some irons in the fire. My ship is coming in. I can see a silver lining in that cloud that's been hanging over me for so long. I'm all out of clichés, baby. But I think you get my drift, don't you?::Maddie Coleman: Yes I do. But I don't think you understand the urgency of my plight.::Henry Coleman: A-ha! [pulls out a bottle and looks at the lable] Creme de menthe? Oh Lord, who are these people, mad?::Maddie Coleman: Please, please, please. I can not bear it any longer, okay. Okay, all right, I will let you - I give you permission to use a little of that money from B.J. Henry, we can share a place. You can use it and we can share a place.::Henry Coleman: That money - that money's off limits for now, okay?::Maddie Coleman: You're right. I shouldn't even mentioned - what was I thinking?::Henry Coleman: I don't know. Shame on you, shame on you. [takes a drink and spits it out] Oh God! What am I supposed to drink this or gargle with it?::Maddie Coleman: What am I supposed to do?::Henry Coleman: Why don't you try making up with Casey? What the hell? [takes another sip]::Maddie Coleman: I would rather stick my head in a lion's mouth. Are you still gonna drink that?::Henry Coleman: Yes! It's that bad, huh? Listen, for every problem there is a solution.::Maddie Coleman: You sound like my calculus teacher.

Gwen Norbeck: Judge Steve?::Will Munson #4: Dude, just tell us.::Judge Steve Colby: You may well hate my guts in ten years.::Gwen Norbeck: Why?::Judge Steve Colby: Because you'll be having your 10th wedding anniversary before you're 30.::Will Munson #4: Yes!::Judge Steve Colby: Or you'll be bitter and divorced a half-decade ahead of schedule. And don't send me a card if that's the last one.

Detective Margo Montgomery Hughes #3: Will you keep your pants on when you're alone with Maddie?::Casey Hughes #5: I can't believe you said that!::Detective Margo Montgomery Hughes #3: All right, come on, it freaks me out, too.::Casey Hughes #5: You're my mom! I'm your impressionable teenage son! Geez!::Detective Margo Montgomery Hughes #3: Well, look, I finally got more than one word out of you.

Barbara: A shame to waste good vodka, Barbara.::Henry Coleman: Somehow I think it won't go to waste.

Emily Stewart: My entire life, honestly - men. My father, Tom, Paul - none of them ever wanted me.::Henry Coleman: There's still good ol' Hal...::Emily Stewart: Yeah, Hal - I came in second to a warm doughnut, Henry.

Famous quotes by John Hughes:

"You know those sexy pinup posters people put up in their bedrooms? I always saw them as being kind of silly and vacant."

"I admire people like Judd Nelson, who have an innate sense of fashion. Judd could wear a bathrobe and sanitarium sandals and a fedora and look good."

"I was really amused when someone once called me a purveyor of horny sex comedies. He listed Breakfast Club and Mr. Mom in parentheses."

"I like young actors because they're so unspoiled, not like some of those actors who are about half an hour into their fifteen minutes of fame by the time they get to me."

"The young actors get hit harder because of their age. Because Rat Pack - which Brat Pack is clearly a parody of - was not negative. Brat Pack is. It suggests unruly, arrogant young people, and that description isn't true of these people."

"At the time I came along, Hollywood's idea of teen movies meant there had to be a lot of nudity, usually involving boys in pursuit of sex, and pretty gross overall. Either that or a horror movie. And the last thing Hollywood wanted in their teen movies was teenagers!"

"Most of my characters are romantic rather than sexual. I think that's an essential difference in my pictures. I think they are more accurate in portraying young people as romantic - as wanting a relationship, an understanding with a member of the opposite sex more than just physical sex."

"Ooh, Canada, exotic."

"My heroes were Dylan, John Lennon and Picasso, because they each moved their particular medium forward, and when they got to the point where they were comfortable, they always moved on."

"I always preferred to hang out with the outcasts, 'cause they were cooler; they had better taste in music, for one thing, I guess because they had more time to develop one with the lack of social interaction they had!"

"I'm from Chicago, I live in Chicago and I wanted very much for the music in Chicago to succeed."

"Why watch someone kissing when people really close their eyes when they kiss?"

"I'm a former hippie, so clothes are important to me - your clothes defined you in that period. I guess clothes still defines people. But, I change a lot. I'm in my Brooks Brothers period now."

"I was obsessed with romance. When I was in high school, I saw 'Doctor Zhivago' every day from the day it opened until the day it left the theater."

"A nerd will be a nerd all his life."

"I stumbled into this business, I didn't train for it. I yelled 'Action!' on my first two movies before the camera was turned on."

"A geek is a guy who has everything going for him but he's just too young. He's got the software but he doesn't have the hardware yet."

"My generation had to be taken seriously because we were stopping things and burning things. We were able to initiate change, because we had such vast numbers. We were part of the baby boom, and when we moved, everything moved with us."

"I find that screen kissing wears very thin very quickly."

"I don't consider myself qualified to do a movie about international intrigue - I seldom leave the country."

Two To Tango

She Whispers in my ear
Can I get you a cold beer
While all that wildlife is covered with oil
Strumming my six string
Trying not to sing
About those shrimp, beginning to spoil
Here we go again destroying our mother earth
Hunting down her last buffalo
Some people claim that it’s Big Oil to blame
But I know, it takes two to tango
Well, I know the reason
I go there in season
It’s not to watch an oil well blow
But the gulf is a beauty
So let’s do our duty
How it got there, I’ll never know
Here we go again destroying our mother earth
Hunting down her last buffalo
Some people claim it’s politicians to blame
But I know, it takes two to tango
I slipped on a tar ball
On the beach after nightfall
So I got on a plane and flew on back home
But there’s fuel in my big truck
Cause just like you, I suck
We love our petroleum, it helps us move on
Here we go again destroying our mother earth
Hunting down her last buffalo
Some people claim that there’s somebody to blame
