Episode Quotes

Tim: Nothing says a man's Christmas like a block of ice and a Binford chainsaw.

(To Lillian)
The Colonel: Why are you complaining? I wanted to put the presents in the front seat and you in the back.

(To Jill)
Lillian: I have seen your father watch so many war movies, I know every word George S. Patton ever said.

Jill: My parents argue all the time. Tim I just want my parents to be happy.
Tim: Happy? Of course they're happy! They've been married 42 years.

Jill: You three go upstairs, I want to talk to Granddad alone.
Mark: Mom I want to watch the rest of Patton.
Jill: It's alright. Just go upstairs and ask your grandmother to act out the rest of it.

(To Jill)
Lillian: If you hadn't opened your mouth, your father and I could have just been mad at one another and had a perfectly lovely Christmas.

Tim: It's alright. I am objective third party like the African manure tribe.

The Colonel: We can go to Italy, maybe get on a gondola ride.
Lillian: I thought you hated boats.
The Colonel: A gondola is a boat?
