Quotes[]
- Benny: [to Max] Why don't you go play in front?
- Max: Hey, it's my yard, I'll play where I want.
- Benny: Okay then, new game, let's play (tosses the ball into the next yard) get the ball back from the neighbor's rottweiler.
- Max: No, I've got a better idea, why don't you take your tired ass home?
- (Benny smacks him)
- George: A family is only as smart as their dumbest child, so let's make that Carmen again.
- George: [to Benny after she hits Max] What's wrong with you? Now that I'm all grown up, you need someone else to smack around?
- Benny: I never hit you!
- George: What?! You used to hit me all the time! At the clothes4less, you used to pull me into the fitting room and hit me so the cameras wouldn't see! (imitates Benny hitting George and walking out of the fitting room) It didn't fit!
- George: (to Benny after she hits Max) I swore I would never hit a woman, but if you get another hair on that chin, I'm taking you down!
- Angie: [to Benny] You embarrassed Max in front of his friends and even worst, you hit him in his identity.
- Benny: Um, I'm pretty sure that's about two feet lower.
- Angie: He will, because George and I talked to him and we took away TV for a month.
- Benny: Wow. A month without the stupid talking sponge, that's gotta hurt.
- George: [to Max] What kind of job can you get with no education?
- Max: I can be a pro skateboarder.
- George: That's funny, I don't see too many professional skate boarders running in the house going, "Mommy, I hurt my elbow, kiss it!"
- Max: Okay, but I can still work at a skate shop.
- George: So you'll make a couple $100 bucks a month.
- Max: A couple $100 bucks? That's awesome! I mean, could get a cool car, a big house!
- George: You can't get a car and a house on your salary. I mean you could if you lived in a bad neighborhood.
- Max: Then I'll live in a bad neighborhood.
- George: Ohhh, but they just stole your car.
- Max: No way.
- George: You could get it back.
- Max: Yeah, I'll get it back.
- George: Ohhh, but you just got shot.
- Max: Gee...so if I work hard and graduate, I can get some loser job in a factory like you?
- Benny: (to Max) I shouldn't have hit you. The times were just different when I was growing up. What we called discipline is now child abuse. Keeping an eye on your man is now stalking. Hell, back then, no meant yes. At least it did to me anyway. What I'm trying to say is...here's a 20, are we cool?
- Max: Grandma, did your dad ever say he quit you?
- Benny: Where's that coming from?
- Max: I'm acting up in school and Dad says he's quitting me.
- Benny: Wow, you know my dad might've beat me like an old blanket, but he never quit me. You should consider getting your crap together.
- Max: [when Benny pays him money] She gave me 20 reasons to get over it!
- Angie: You can't buy family!
- Benny: Why not? All those celebrity lesbians do.
- George: Wow. At $20 a hit, you must owe me $60,000.
- Benny: Oh, shut your big fat identity hole!
