Quote from Beverly in The Proposal

Linda Schwartz: Beverly, how are you this strong?!
Beverly: A mama can stop a train with her teeth if her babies are threatened.
Linda Schwartz: [grunts] But I just said it's too soon. They barely know one another.
Beverly: They're soul mates, you cracked leather bag!
Linda Schwartz: And let's be honest... the boy is a tad emotionally underdeveloped.
Beverly: Well, that's weird of you to say, but okay.
Linda Schwartz: Look, none of this matters anyway, because the proposal isn't happening.
Beverly: Isn't happening? What kind of an overbearing, self-centered mother are you to cancel my baby's wedding, where I'm going to perform Jeffrey Osborne's "On the Wings of Love"?!
Linda Schwartz: The kind who intervenes because their child is making a big mistake.
Beverly: Well, you'd better hope this happens, or I will put you in a permanent headlock in which you will have to eat, bathe, and sleep.
Linda Schwartz: Well, that's not gonna be practical for either one of us. [Beverly grunts] Oh... I'll do what I can!

Quote from Murray

Murray: Who doesn't melt cheese on the cheeseburger?! He had it just sitting there on the tray with the fixin's! Like it was gherkins, Bevy! Gherkins!
Beverly: For God's sake, Murray, you yelled at him in front of his guests and then stormed out of the barbecue.
Murray: I did it for all of us!
Beverly: Well, you need to go over there and make it better.
Murray: You know what would make it better, Bevy? When your patty is sizzling on the grill, you put a little cheese on it. You know, they come in slices now.
Beverly: Go! And don't say anything about the engagement. It's a secret. Put your child's happiness above your own.
