My favorite quotes are:

Mrs. Lift: "Holly hell! What a dream I had! Louie Armstrong tried to kill me!"

Owen: "You don´t have to blow her brains out or anything"
Larry: "Thank you. That takes the pressure right off"

(Larry when he´s out on the ledge): "And like this you kill an evening"
(When Larry´s trying to get inside again and almost falls)Owen: "Larry, what are you doin'?"
Larry: "I´m selling "The Watchtower. What do you think!?"

(The last things Larry says about Owen when they are at the beach):
Larry: "Watch this, Beth. Have you ever seen a weeble snorkel?"
Larry: "But look at him. He´s a bouy with hair."

Larry: Fate makes you impotent, Love makes you crazy, somewhere in the middle you can survive.

Good film, but not a patch on War on the Roses.

It's "hate" makes you impotent...

It's cryptic.

Momma: Your friend had an accident, he's dead! You go bowling and leave a corpse to take care of me!
Owen: He's dead?
Momma: See for yourself.
Owen: Larry! My friend, my friend... Larry!
Momma: "My friend! My friend!" You big crybaby. Go bury him in the yard before he stinks up the place.

Black comedy at it's best.

[–] gallopgirl88 20 years ago

One of my part when Larry goes to Beth's house after he finds out his ex is dead. It goes something like this:
Larry: Margret's dead!
Beth: Oh Larry, I'm sorry. Did she suffer?
Larry: He say she didn't feel a thing.
Beth: Who? The doctor?
Larry: No, the killer.
Beth: The KILLER!!

Owen calls from Hawaii: "I don't want to say anything over the phone. All I can say is that I killed her last night."

Kills me every time.

[–] marshjes 15 years ago

Yeah, that was great! He didn't want to admit to anything, just murder!!

Also, the:
when the police are at Owen's house)
Mrs. Lift:Owen! OWEN!!!
Owen: Momma you're alive(turns around)(to police)Old People, you have to reassure them

And I love LOVE the part where he says Larry could kill her by introducing himself and waving his hands all over the place.

The night was hot, wait no, the night, the night was humid. The night was humid, no wait, hot, hot. The night was hot. The night was hot and wet, wet and hot. The night was wet and hot, hot and wet, wet and hot; that's humid.
The night was humid.
The night was damp.
The night was moist.
The night was dry, even though it was raining outside.

Mrs. Hazeltine: (reading) His guts oozed nice, like a melted malted.

Larry Donner: This is a real classic by Mr. Pinsky, it's entitled: "One Hundred Girls I'd Like to Pork."
Mr. Pinsky: It's a coffee-table book.

Larry: It was a murder mystery, three pages long, that, by the way, was no big trick in finding the murderer!
Owen: Well, what gave it away?
Larry: You only had two characters, one of which was dead on page two!

Owen: The guy in the hat killed the other guy in the hat.

Mrs. Hazeltine: "Dive! Dive!" yelled the Captain through the thing! So the man who makes it dive pressed a button, or a something, and it dove. And, the enemy was foiled again. "Looks like we foiled them again," said Dave. "Yeah," said the Captain. "We foiled those bastards again. Didn't we, Dave." "Yeah," said Dave. The End.

Momma: Owen! Food!
Owen: In a minute, Momma.
Momma: Don't you "In a minute, Momma" me! Get off your fat little ass or I'll break it for you! I want two soft boiled eggs, white toast, and some of that grape jelly god damn it! And don't burn the toast!
Owen: Kill her, Larry.

Momma: He's trying to kill me! I asked for the salted nuts. He brought me the unsalted nuts. The unsalted nuts make me choke!

Larry: SLUT!

Larry's Agent: Here, have a fern.

Owen: Wanna see my coin collection?
Larry: NO!
Owen: (hurt) okay.
Larry: Alright, let me see it.
Owen: No, you don't want to.
Larry: Let me see it!
Owen: Ok. See this....it's a nickel. And see this....another nickle....

Owen: (car driving off road into bushes) This is fun. It's like The Flintstones car wash.

My favorite quote is

Larry: One little murder... and I'm Jack the Ripper!...

[–] Alphadude500 19 years ago

Owen: (knocks the cup of soda out of his mom's hand)
Mrs. Lift: You clumsy-poop! Why did you do that?
Owen:(walks over to assorted pieces)
Mrs Lift: Piggidup, lard-ass!

[–] MrPrudence04 19 years ago

(when Owen drops the cup)

Mrs Lift: "Pick up every piece!!"

Me and my friends replayed that line over and over again. Don't ask me why it just cracked us up.

[–] TheRetroCritic 19 years ago

Every line in this film cracks me up. The frying pan scene is my favourite.

(in the little train)
LARRY "This is Owen, Owen is a dead man"

LARRY "Owen, what did you do to my wife?"
OWEN "Well, I can't tell you over the phone, all I can say is I killed her last night!"

OWEN "Criss cross!"
