Quotes 

• Willis Jackson : Jerry and I were in this really bad car accident. I was lucky I just came out with a few scratches.

  Philip Drummond : Are you sure?

  Willis Jackson : Yeah I'm fine.

  Philip Drummond : Well thank God you're alright, how'd you get home?

  Willis Jackson : The police brought me.

  Philip Drummond : Well come on sit down over here. Now tell me what happened.

  Willis Jackson : We were leaving this bar, and I guess Jerry had a few too many. And he ran this red light and this big truck, I didn't see it coming, it just plowed right into us.

  Arnold Jackson : How's Jerry?

  Willis Jackson : He's real bad, he's in a coma. They wouldn't let me see him, the doctors said there's nothing I can do and to go home. This is my home, isn't it? Dad, I want to come back, can I?

  Philip Drummond : Of course, son.

• Willis Jackson : I only had a couple drinks.

  Arnold Jackson : From the looks of your eyeballs they must've been Bloody Marys.

• Willis Jackson : I'm going to this party at Jerry's, and it's BYOB, you know what that means?

  Philip Drummond : Sure, it means hand me that bottle.

  Willis Jackson : But Dad...

  Philip Drummond : HAND-me-that-bottle.

  Willis Jackson : I didn't even have to tell you, I could've just done it and you would've never found out.

  Philip Drummond : Right, but you're too honest for that.

• Willis Jackson : What about your party? You're gonna be late.

  Philip Drummond : It can wait, it's only a charity affair, that chicken can't get any colder than it is.

• Willis Jackson : What's everybody doing up?

  Kimberly Drummond : Can't you guess? We're modeling sleepwear.

• Willis Jackson : I love Dad but he's just impossible to live with.

  Arnold Jackson : So are you, but I do it!

• Kimberly Drummond : I was just on my way to ballet class and I thought I'd come by and see your place.

  Willis Jackson : Well this is it, what do you think?

  Kimberly Drummond : It has possibilities. Clean it up a little, you can use it for the city dump.

• Willis Jackson : I'm going to a party at Jerry's and it's BYOB. Do you know what that means?

  Philip Drummond : Yes and it means give me that bottle.
