Quotes[]
- George: It's a great day when white people, black people and Latinos can all come together and pick on another minority.
- George: Hey Hosni, what are you doing this Friday?
- Hosni: Is this about overtime? Because I can't do it on Fridays.
- George: Something religious?
- Hosni: No, I like to watch "America's Funniest Home Videos", but I do it religiously.
- George [to Hosni]: Why don't you have dinner with me and my family this Friday? I don't know anything about you, your culture. It'll be fun.
- Hosni: All right. How many of my wives can I bring?
- George: Hey, if we really hit it off, I'll let you have one of mine. Her name's Benny.
- Carmen: How come Max is allowed to have a girl in his bedroom, but I'm not allowed to have a boy in my room?
- Angie: Please! He still thinks "making out" is looking for change in the couch.
- George: Come on, Mom. How many times have you been judged by your background?
- Benny: Hey! When people judge me, it's because they know me. Not because of my background.
- Allison: [hands Max a present] Here you go.
- Max: What's this for?
- Allison: Our one-week anniversary. Don't pretend like you don't remember.
- Max : Yeah...one week. Where has the time gone?
- Allison: So, what'd you get me?
- Max: Uh... close your eyes.
- [Allison closes her eyes, opens her hand while Max looks around room for a last minute gift]
- Max: Here you go.
- Allison: [looks at the present] Gum?
- Max: Yeah.
- Allison: You don't care about this marriage at all! [runs out of his room]
- Max: It's grape!
- George: You don't understand how many times I've been discriminated. When I go to the mall, the security follow me. When I'm mowing the lawn, people ask how much I pay. Once, when I was playing golf, a man actually drove up and gave me his keys to his car!
- Carmen: What did you do?
- George: I took it!
- Max: I couldn't sleep, it's my marriage.
- Max (to Allison when he wants to stop being "married" to her): It's not me, it's you.
- Allison (introduces herself to George): Hi, I'm Allison.
- George (imitates Allison's voice): Hi, I'm George!
- Curtis (while carrying a bunch of personnel files): What's black and white and mad as hell? A brother with fifteen papercuts. (gets another one) Damn! sixteen.
