Dialogue
edit- Jay (after Tiara compliments Junior's shoes): Tiara, he [Junior] put those mirrors on his shoes so he could look up at your panties.
- Tiara: Well, joke's on him, because I'm not wearing any.
- Junior (who's about to eat raw chicken): Have you ever heard of sushi?
- Michael: Have you ever heard of salmonella?
- Junior: No, but if she knows how to cook, invite her over?
- Kady:I made you some chicken noodle soup.
- Michael: Did you get this [water in the soup] out of the toilet like the last time?
- Kady: No, silly!
- (Michael starts to eat the soup)
- Kady: ...the fish tank!
- (Michael then spits out the soup)
- Michael: Mmm, mmm, guppy!
- Michael: No asking your grandfather for money.
- Junior: I can't stop him. He folds it up in his hand and shoves it in my pocket. What can I do?
- Michael: Be naked. I bet he won't shove it in that pocket.
- Jay (to Michael): Are these [pants] yours or Junior's?
- Michael: Junior's. I don't have pants with more than 38 pockets.
- Jay: What does that look like to you?
- Michael: I'll say it's chocolate-covered raisins.
- Jay: No, it looks like mouse droppings.
- Michael: There's only one way to find out. Junior, come taste one of these.
- Michael: I thought you were going shopping for towels.
- Jay: I did.
- Michael: When did Sony start making towels?
- Franklin: First, we need to clean it (referring to a raw chicken).
- Claire:OK, I'll put it in the dishwasher. Life cycle, right?
- Franklin: Today, we're going to cook minute rice.
- Claire: Really? How long will that take?
- Jay: I've got ye olde egg salad.
- Michael: That's why ye olde lifespan was only 36 years, because ye olde bowels couldn't digest ye olde food.
- Michael: Put him [a customer] down!
- Calvin: I'm trying, but I don't know where to put him down! Why did they put in a 'pick-up' sign when they didn't put in a 'put-down' sign?
- Michael: It's a good thing you didn't see the 'loading in rear' sign.
- Claire: How would you feel if your parents went on a double date with you and Mom?
- Michael: Like a virgin.
- Michael: You seem to be forgetting what we did in a movie theater. Remember the hot dog trick?
- Jay: Go check on the kids.
- Junior (after Michael writes the title of Junior's notepad of dumb sayings called "I Ain't Dumb"): Dad, there's no 'B' in dumb, that's 'dum-bee'.
- Michael: I found a gray hair.
- Jay: Where? In your goatee?
- Michael: Lower.
- Jay: Your chest?
- Michael: Warmer.
- Jay: You're nuts!
- Michael: Exactly. The right one.
- Jay: You have 10 whole teeth in your mouth.
- Kady: That's more than Grandma, right?
- Junior: These hands were made for love.
- Michael: I know one of them is.
- Junior: For once, I'm not the dumbest one in the room.
- Tony: Yes, you are.
- Junior: You just proved me right. Because it's, "Yes, you is."
- Michael: Why don't you quit while you're behind, son?
- Junior: He who runs away, lives to fight another day.
- Michael: Yeah. And then he runs to join the Village People.
- Junior (about accidentally knocking Michael out while being taught how to box): I feel like Sugar Ray.
- Jay: Which one?
- Junior: The band.
- Claire (after telling Junior, who got into a fight with Tony and got beat up after he assumed that Claire and Tony were having sex, when really they were playing miniature golf): What did you think we did?
- Junior: It.
- Claire: It?
- Jay: It?
- Michael: It?
- Claire: That's disgusting!
- Jay: That's disgusting!
- Michael: That's just plain damn nasty.
- Jay (to Claire, who broke up with Tony after seeing him with another woman, who was actually his cousin): Baby, you've got to communicate with Tony. That is the secret to any good relationship. How do you think your father and I have held in there for so long?
- Michael: Unplanned pregnancies?
- (Jay stamps on Michael's foot) Ow!
- You said you wanted me to give the male point of view, I'm giving you the male point of view!
- Jay: Go point your view back at the television.
- Michael (to Claire, who is eating junk food to comfort her after her breakup with Tony): Claire, you gotta watch your sugar intake. You're already genetically predisposed to being a little thick. (looks at Jay)
- Jay: That wasn't even necessary!
- Michael: Baby, I was just being honest.
- Jay (referring to Michael's head): Do I run around the house telling Junior that he's genetically predisposed of looking like a brown egg?
- Kady: Mom always burns the bottom of her cookies, and I like that.
- Jay: Thanks...I think.
- Michael: (to restaurant warker) You're Japanese, too?
- Man: Until midnight.
- Hippie: (to Michael) I'm going to call you 'Dark Cloud'. Aah!
- Michael: And I'm going to call you 'a cab'! Aah!
- Franklin: [to Kady, after she unknowingly applied skunk odor to herself] Don't worry, my little stinkweed. I still love you.
- Jay: It's Junior's first big-boy drawers!
- Michael: I remember the big doo-doos he left in those drawers.
- Jay: Junior's SAT scores just came in.
- Michael: Oh boy, let me get the whiskey.
- Jay: Claire, you're 16 now, what do you see yourself doing in the next few years?
- Claire: Shopping.
- Michael: Son, how do you feel about sheep?
- Junior: Hey, who don't like saving money?
- Jay: (to Michael) If you keep this up, you're going to get to know your fingers really well.
- Michael: This beef stroganoff is really saying something.
- Jay: Yeah, it's saying 'I'm meatloaf!'
- Claire: Junior, get your butt out of my face!
- Junior: Get your face out of my butt!
- Claire: I'm the one in the line of fire!
- A short time later:
- Michael: Junior, I'll give you $50 if you fart right now.
- Kady: Which one of the Powerpuff Girls is my favorite?
- Franklin: Barney?
- Vanessa: Which yogurt flavor is my favorite?
- Junior: Seven!
- Jay: What is my dress size?
- Michael: The answer to your question is, your dress size is a six...
- Jay: *giggling*
- Michael: ...teen!
- Michael: Why does everyone think I'm the big green ogre?
- Junior: Because you are.
- Jay: What, you have a big-screen TV in your back pocket?
- Wanda: No, but thanks for suggesting one can fit back there.
- Junior: I can't concentrate on my homework.
- Michael: So you have to concentrate to bring home two D's and an F.
- Jay: I'm cleaning out the closet.
- Michael: With what, a bomb?
- Jay: Tell me that's not Brian McKnight.
- Junior: That's not Brian McKnight.
- Jay: Yes, it is, Junior.
- Junior: Then why'd you tell me to tell you--
- Jay: Shut up, boy, and get me to the altar!
- Calvin: [after tasting some pudding meant to symbolize feces in a baby's soiled diaper] Mmm, it's chocolate pudding.
- Instructor: Lucky for you, that's right.
