Dialogue edit

[from trailer]
Tom: That is not gonna fit in your tent, Lorraine.
Lorraine: Oh, I am gonna make it fit, Dad!

[from trailer]
Kate: Honey, you actually bought that shirt?
Tom: Hey, every dad is entitled to one hideous shirt, and one horrible sweater. It's part of the dad code.

Anne: If my dad finds out before I tell him–
Charlie: You'll get grounded?
Anne: Please! Just don't say anything.

Tom: What do you do for a living, Eliot?
Eliot: Well, I'm in the 8th grade.

Kate: [as an enraged Sarah stomps into the house] Hey, honey. How'd it... [notices Sarah's angry facial expression] ...Go?
Sarah: Dad was totally spying on me! [as Tom enters the house] You ruined everything! There's no way I'm competing for you in that stupid cup tomorrow! [storms off furiously; Kate gives Tom a disappointed look]
Kim: I can't believe you did that.
Jessica: Really, Dad, that is so big brother.
Bud: Yeah, let's go.
Nora: Come on, Bud. Let's put this baby to bed. [they all walk out of the room]
Jake: Not cool, Dad. [leaves the room in disgust; leaving only Henry, Nigel, and Kyle]
Henry: You know, you and Jimmy aren't so different, Dad. Different styles, yeah, but... same result. Let's go, guys. [they leave the room to go to bed, leaving an ashamed Tom alone with Kate]
Kate: Oh, honey. Honey, we talked about this, didn't we? The tighter you hang on, the more they're gonna pull away, right? Oh, God. I'll go to talk to her.

Tom: All right. From now on, no seeing the Murtaughs, no talking to the Murtaughs, no thinking about the Murtaughs!
Sarah: Can't we just compete and still like, see them?
Tom: No! Right now, I am not a father, I am a coach. And we're gonna be training twice a day, every day, starting outside in 10 minutes. No later.

Lorraine: [after Sarah asks her for some make-up help] Now, let's start with some lip gloss. [unleashes the lip gloss]
Sarah: PINK? Can't we put on like a skin color?
Lorraine: Hold still.

Tom: Tire swing ready! [falls off tire swing] Tire swing, not ready!

[Sarah knocks Mike off his skateboard]
Mike: SARAH!

Tom: [to his newborn grandson] Tom. Hey, Tom. Welcome to family.

Mark: Hello. Nature boy here, remember?

Jimmy Murtaugh: Nice hands.

Lorraine: Still smells the same. Old gross stuff, dead animals, and murky lake water.
Tom: It's called fresh air, sweetie.

Skippy: Okay, we're willing to let it slide this time if you promise to keep your kids under control.
Tom: I really appreciate that, and we'll take care of it. Thank you.
Jimmy: There you go. Thanks, Skippy.
Skippy: Thank you, Mr. Murtaugh.
Jimmy: You just gonna talk to her, Tom?
Tom: How I discipline my kids is none of your business.
Jimmy: You know, I've been trying to say this in a nice way, but, uh... well, there's a good reason your kids are screw-ups.
Tom: My kids screwed up. They are not screw-ups!
Jimmy: You're not strict enough. Parenting isn't a popularity contest, Tom, but I guess if you knew that, your kids wouldn't be so undisciplined.
Tom: The only problem with my kids is that they're hanging out with your kids!
Jimmy: It wasn't my daughter who got caught stealing.
Tom: And it wasn't my son who trashed a tennis court!
Jimmy: Do you actually think I'm screwing up my kids, Baker?
Tom: Yeah. And one day, they're gonna crack.
Jimmy: Well, why don't we test that theory... on Labor Day!? Murtaughs vs. Bakers... for the cup!
Tom: You're on. We'll see you there.
