Meet The Parents
Jack Byrnes: I will be watching you.
Jack
Byrnes: Are you a pothead, Focker?
Greg
Focker: You can milk just about anything with nipples.
Jack Byrnes: I have
nipples, Greg, could you milk me?
[Jack's
Poem]
Jack Byrnes: "My Mother" by Jack Byrnes / You gave me life.
/ You gave me milk. / You gave me courage. / Your name was Angela. / An Angel
from Heaven. / But you were also an angel of God. / And he needed you to. / I
selfishly tried to hold on to you, / While the cancer ate away at your organs,
/ Like a rebel force. / And now we'll meet in heaven. / And I shall see you /
Nevermore. Nevermore. Nevermore.
Pam Byrnes: Dad, that's beautiful.
Greg
Focker: Yes, it was so beautiful, and yet, had so much information.
Jack
Byrnes: I mean, can you really trust another human being, Greg?
Greg Focker:
Yeah, I think so.
Jack Byrnes: No. The answer is you can not.
Jack
Byrnes: I'm just curious, did you pick the color of the car?
Greg Focker:
Uh no, the guy at the window did, why?
Jack Byrnes: Well they say geniuses
pick green.
Greg Focker: Oh.
Jack Byrnes: But you didn't pick it.
Greg
Focker: I'm gonna go upstairs and pay a visit to the shower fairy.
Jack
Byrnes: His parents gotta be decent people if they named their son Gaylord Focker.
Jack
Byrnes: Trust me, Greg, when you start having little Fockers running around, you'll
feel the need for this type of security.
[Greg
is trying to fit his large bag into the overhead bin.]
Flight Attendant: I'm
sorry, sir, you're gonna have to check that.
Greg Focker: I got it.
Flight
Attendant: No, I'm sorry, that bag won't fit.
Greg Focker: No, no, I'm not--hey,
I'm not checking my bag, okay?
Flight Attendant: There's no need to raise
your voice, sir.
Greg Focker: I'm not raising my voice. THIS WOULD BE RAISING
MY VOICE TO YOU, okay? I don't want to check my bag, okay? And, by the way, your
airline? You SUCK at checking bags, okay, because I already did that once and
you lost it, and then I had everything screwed up very badly for me, okay?
Flight
Attendant: Well, I can assure you that your bag will be placed safely below deck
with the other luggage...
Greg Focker: Oh, yeah? How do you know my bag will
be safe below with the other luggage? Huh? Are you physically going to take my
bag and put it beneath the plane? Are you going to go right now outside, with
the guys with the earmuffs, and go put it in there?
Flight Attendant: No...
Greg Focker: No? Okay, then shut your piehole and listen to me when I say
that I am FINISHED with the checking-of-the-bags CONVERSATION!
Greg
Focker: The only way that I would ever let go of my bag would be if you came over
here right now and tried to pry it from my dead, lifeless fingers, okay? If you
can get it from my kung-fu grip, then you can come and have it, okay? Otherwise,
step off, bitch.
Jack
Byrnes: Oh, geez. I just thought of something.
Dina Byrnes: What?
Jack
Byrnes: Pam's middle name.
Dina Byrnes: Martha. ...Oh, no.
Jack Byrnes,
Dina Byrnes: Pamela Martha Focker!
Jack
Byrnes: I will be watching you and if I find that you are trying to corrupt my
first born child, I will bring you down, baby. I will bring you down to Chinatown!
Greg
Focker: Hey Jack, why don't you tell 'em about your little phone call in Thai.
Dina Byrnes: Jack can't talk Thai.
Greg Focker: Oh no, Dina, Jack talked
Thai. Jack talked Thai real well.
Greg
Focker: Check my pulse on this question, Jack, do I think you're a psycho? Yes!
Jack
Byrnes: I understand you may have had sexual relations with my daughter before,
but under our roof, it's my way or the Long Island Expressway! So just keep your
snake in its cage for 72 hours.
Dina
Byrnes: Now Greg, you have a *very* unique last name and Jack and I were wondering
how to pronounce it?
Greg Focker: Oh, just like its spelt. F-O-C-K-E-R.
Dina
Byrnes: F-Focker!
Jack Byrnes: Hmm, Focker.
Denny
Byrnes: You just sniffing my boxers, man?
Greg Focker: No, dude
Jack
Byrnes: That smell, Bob, is our shit! Focker flushed the toilet in the den!
Greg
Focker: I told you Jack it wasn't me it was Jynx.
Jack Byrnes: FOCKER! i'm
not gonna tell you again Jynx cannot flush the toilet he's a cat for christ sakes!!
Larry: The animal doesn't even have thumbs Focker!
Greg
Focker: This handles like a dream.
Larry: Let's not make it a nightmare.
Jack
Byrnes: Did you flush this toilet?
Greg Focker: Maybe...You know what, maybe
Jinx flushed it. I saw little Jinxy in there last night and he took a squatted...relieved
himself.
Jack Byrnes: Jinx knows not to use that toilet and even if he did,
he'd never flush it.
Greg Focker: What does it matter?
Jack Byrnes: The
matter, Greg RN, is that when this toilet is flushed, it runs, and when you have
a sceptic tank that's nearly full and a toilet that's been running all night,
then you could have a hell of a problem.
[in
the car listening to "Puff the Magic Dragon"]
Greg Focker: Who'd
have thought it wasn't about a dragon.
Jack Byrnes: Huh?
Greg Focker:
Well some people think that 'to puff the magic dragon' means to... puff... smoke...
marijuana cigarettes.
Jack Byrnes: You a part of that Focker?
Greg Focker:
No, I pass on grass always. Well not always.
Jack Byrnes: Yes or no?
Greg
Focker: No, um, yes, um...
Norm:
You threatened that stewardess with a bomb!
Greg Focker: No I said I didn't
have a bomb.
Norm: But you said bomb!
Greg Focker: What is wrong with
saying bomb on an airplane?
Norm: You can't say bomb on an airplane.
Greg
Focker: Bomb bomb bomb bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb bomb bomb! During the war I was
a BOMBadier.
Pam
Byrnes: Greg Honey, how are you doing?
Greg Focker: Oh great, considering
I desecrated your Grandma's remains, found out you were engaged, and had your
Father ask me to milk him!
Jack
Byrnes: Greg's in medicine too.
Bob Banks: What field?
Greg Focker: Nursing.
Bob Banks: Ha ha ha ha. No, really, what field are you in?
Greg Focker:
Nursing.
Greg
Focker: Don't worry about your little covert op, I'll keep it on the low down.
Denny Byrnes: Down low.
Greg Focker: No doubt!
Kevin:
[On who inspired him to be a wood worker] I'd have to say Jesus. He was a carpenter
and I figured if you're going to follow in somebody's footsteps, why not the steps
of our lord and savior?
Jack Byrnes: [Before Greg has a chance to respond]
Greg's Jewish.
Kevin: Really? Well so was J.C.!
[Greg
is sitting in the dark. Pam walks in to check on him]
Pam Byrnes: What's the
matter sweetie? Can't sleep?
Greg Focker: No, no. I was just going over my
answers to the polygraph your dad just gave me.
Delivery
Man: Gaylord M. Focker?
Greg Focker: That's me.
Jack Byrnes: I thought
your name was Greg.
Greg Focker: It is.
Delivery Man: That's not what
it says here.
Greg Focker: Gaylord is my legal name. Nobody's called me by
it since third grade.
Denny Byrnes: Wait a minute, so your name is Gay Focker?
Pam
Byrnes: You never told me about your cat milking days in Motown.
Jack
Byrnes: Jesus, Focker! It's just a game!
Jack
Byrnes: You tried to milk him, didn't you you sick son of a bitch!?
Greg
Focker: [on the phone] Yeah, you gave me the wrong suitcase. Uh-huh. Yes, it's
a black Samsonite. Uh-huh. Ok, well don't you think that the Samsonite people,
in some crazy scheme in order to make a profit, MADE MORE THAN ONE BLACK SUITCASE?!
