Quotes

Cousins

Edit
  • Vince: You've got only one life to live. You can either make it chicken shit or chicken salad.
  • Maria: How many jobs did you have?
  • Larry: I don't know. A lot. I change every two or three years. If it looks like I might be successful. I move on.
  • Maria: You don't want to be successful?
  • Larry: I want to be happy.
  • Larry: Maria, would you dance with me?... Then, how about spending the rest of your life with me?
  • Mitch: So, how did your big date go last night?
  • Vince: Can you keep a secret?
  • Mitch: Yeah. Sure.
  • Vince: So can I.
  • Aunt Sofia: You still want to kill people?
  • Mitch: Na, they're too stupid.
  • Aunt Sofia: You're telling me - your grandfather's marrying the Bermuda Triangle!
  • Vince: [at the cemetery, declining to join the funeral group] You go ahead. No. I'll wait right here. At my age, you don't want to get too close to an open grave.
  • Mitch: [at the funeral] So, Grandpa, how come you didn't come to the church?
  • Vince: God makes me nervous when you get him indoors - besides, I don't like to see people in their coffins. They always look so much smaller without their spirits.
  • Tom: So, how do you like this wine, Vince?
  • Vince: Let me put it to you this way, I'd rather have a case of the clap than a case of this wine.
  • Tom: Look, I've kept my part of the bargain for Chloe's sake.
  • Maria: Well, maybe Chloe deserves more than a bargain, Tom...
  • [strokes his cheek, then turns to Larry]
  • Maria: Larry Kozinski, I would love to dance with you.
  • Vince: [ater Edie reluctantly accepts his dinner invitation] You've made an old man very happy!
  • Edie: You're not so old.
  • Vince: Yeah, I know, and I'm not so happy.
  • Tish: Have you ever tried to put panty hose on with wet nails?
  • Mitch: It's a bitch.
  • Herbie: Bad tits.
  • Stan: No ass.
  • Maria: I seem to have lost my mate.
  • Larry: Me too. I'm sure I came in with one.
  • Tom: Do you understand?
  • Tish: I have an IQ in the triple-digits. What word do you think I didn't understand?
  • Tom: Okay. I just want to make sure you understood. Are you wearing black underwear?
  • Larry: Remember the guy on the news who listened to Ozzy Osbourne so much that his parents sued because he became a mass murderer? Well, Aunt Irene told me today that she's thinking of suing now because cousin Donald listened to Barry Manilow over and over and he became a florist.
  • Maria: They have fried octopus?
  • Larry: No, I had that for breakfast.
  • Larry: That one would look great on you.
  • Maria: But, Tom hates me in hats.
  • Larry: Then I'll buy it for you.
  • Tish: Your opinion of Larry is a tribute to your insensitivity of other human beings. Larry would *never* have sex with someone like your wife.
  • Tom: I'm not worried about sex. I'm worried about them having a relationship.
  • Vince: Are you bedding that woman?
  • Larry: Tish?
  • Vince: Christ, Son, I hope you're bedding your own wife. No, the other one?
  • Tom: I have a lot of deep thoughts. I just have a hard time talking to women.
  • Tish: You're talking to me.
  • Tom: You're different.
  • Tish: How?
  • Tom: I don't know. Different. Different than Maria.
  • [kiss]
  • Tom: Maria's - too good for me.
  • Maria: Why do always my problems have to be solved with proverbs?
  • Maria: I'm not sleeping with Larry.
  • Edie: But, you are thinking about it.
  • Tom: Are you in love with him?
  • Maria: If I am, I'll get over it.
  • Tom: Yeah. We were in love once upon a time. We got over it.
  • Aunt Sofia: That's a dress you wear to a hooker's wedding.
  • Larry: So, what do you want to do? Do you want to confront them? They'll just deny it.
  • Maria: We could shave their heads.
  • Stan: Geez-us, who is that?
  • Herbie: Eh, you take away the clothes and the make up, what do you got?
  • Stan: A gorgeous, naked woman.
  • Phil: Believe me, there's a future in garbage. By the year 2000, there's gonna be no place left for human refuse. Get in while the market's still open.
  • Tish: Do I look alright?
  • Larry: Do stars twinkle?
  • Larry: You're learning all my secrets and I don't know the first thing about you.
  • Maria: I'm not an interesting person.
  • Tish: My psychic, Mrs. Wong, is encouraging me to express myself. She says a lot of attractive women get depressed because they think people see nothing but their looks.
  • Larry: So, I will now disrobe and play a Celtic classic ballad on my love flute.
  • Vince: I was gonna bring you a gift; but, I forgot.
  • [shows Mitch two magazines]
  • Vince: I think you might like one of these, huh? Which one do you want? "Hot Patty's Pajama Party" or "Girls With Big Jugs"?
  • Phil: To me, I say this with love Maria, Larry is a failure in everything except life.
  • Mr. Dionne: Love is shit. Marriage is shit.
  • Mr. Dionne: So, they drove to a shopping mall and parked in back of a supermarket, behind a dumpster, in our car, that I make payments on by sweatin' my ass off so she can sweat her ass off inside it! Sorry. That car was rockin' like an outta-whack washin' machine.
  • Vince: Nobody takes a day off when a man dies anymore? Jesus!
  • Tom: Get in the car.
  • Tish: I think you forgot to say - please.
  • Tom: Just get in the car, will you.
  • Tish: Oh, you're so manly.
  • Herbie: You know, funerals make women really horny.
  • Vince: [referring to Larry's motorcycle] I'm taking Mitchie with me. I don't think ridin' on that thing is good for his gonads.
  • Maria: You have a rich fantasy life, don't you?
  • Larry: Uh-huh. Don't you? Don't you have fantasies?
  • Maria: I do!
  • Maria: So what will happen to us?
  • Larry: Well, we could be lovers or we could be friends.
  • Maria: We are friends. If we're lovers, we have to lie. I don't think I can do that.
  • Larry: Yea, me either.
  • Maria: If we make love once and then never see each other again.
  • Larry: Friends then. Very special friends.
  • Weddingland Band: [singing for the groom and pregnant bride's first dance] See the stone set in your eyes, See the thorn twist in your side, I'll wait for you, And you give yourself away, And you give yourself away, And you give and you give...
  • Tom: As soon as she said they were thinking about buying a car, I knew, if I could get her behind the wheel - bingo. Sale, commission, full sticker price. Then the car breaks down. See, that's the thing in sales, you have to concentrate on the woman.
  • Maria: Women always like you, Tom.
  • Tom: You believe me, don't you?
  • Maria: Why shouldn't I? You're my husband.
  • Tish: Would you still slay a dragon for me?
  • Larry: Maybe a baby dragon.
  • Tish: I'm just trying to help, Mitchie. I could give you the girl's point of view.
  • Mitch: Tish, kiss my squirrel!
  • Larry: Hey, hey, we will have no squirrel kissing here tonight.
  • Tom: Last night never happened. You understand? I've changed my whole life today. I've cleaned up my act. No more women. Last night never happened. Understand? And if you ever say that it did, if you use the f-word about us, if any the "fu..." sound comes out of your mouth, I will denounce you as a liar and a home-wrecker. Do you understand?
  • Larry: Is it just me or do you also have the uncontrollable desire to put our lips together?
  • Tom: Did you let it breathe?
  • Waiter: Sir, I personally gave it mouth-to-mouth.
  • Tom: [takes a sip] Excellent. Does anyone ever send it back?
  • Waiter: Not the house wine, sir.
  • Larry: All those years, I'll be dreaming of kissing you.
  • Maria: With tongue or without?
  • Maria: What does your wife hate you to wear?
  • Larry: Boxer shorts. She doesn't think they're sexy.
  • Maria: Oh, I think they're very sexy.
  • Larry: We're gonna be bad. We're gonna be so bad.
