Quote from Phil

Jay: I keep having this dream that he's dying of thirst in the desert, and I hit him with my car.
Jerry: I thought you were over it.
Jay: I thought I was. Let's get out of here before my cuff explodes.
Jerry: Yeah, he already ruined my family. I don't want him to ruin my Thanksgiving too.
Phil: No.We're not going anywhere. It's time someone stood up to the weasels who sweep into our lives, break up our families, and take our loved ones to Cabo.
Jay: I feel like you're making this about you, but you're right. Do you know when my high blood pressure started? When I met that guy.
Jerry: Is this when someone's supposed to say, "Get him!"
Jay: No. You hold him down. I'm gonna beat him with this orthopedic shoe. Come here!
Phil: Let's not lock into our- our first idea.

Phil: No no no, we're not gonna save him! Jerry, no, Jerry. Jay, get him off me!
