what was everybody's favorite quotes from the movie?

mine are.

Mrs. Lift: Owen, your grounded!

Mrs. Lift: What a dream I was having, Louie Armstrong was trying to kill me!
Larry: Mrs. Lift?
Mrs. Lift: Get away from me you horse's ass!

Owen: This is cousin Patty, he's gonna be staying with us for a while, isn't that nice?
Mrs. Lift: you don't have a cousin Patty.
Owen: (to Larry) you lied to me! (hits him in the head with a frying pan)

Larry: Owen, you need to understand, I may be a bunch of things but I'm not a killer.
Owen: you don't have to blow her brains out or anything like that.
Larry: (sarcastically) thank you, that takes the pressure right off.

Owen: (knockes the cup of soda out of his mom's hand)
Mrs. Lift: you clumsy poop! why did you do that?

Owen: (gets off the phone with Larry) coming mama.
Mrs. Lift: who were you talking to?
Owen: I just called the weather.
Mrs. Lift: You were talking to a machine?

Definitely the cousin Paddy/frying pan scene.

But I think my favorite is when Larry goes into Mrs. Lift's bedroom with the pillow (where Owen sees his silhouette against the window), and Larry panics, drops the pillow, and has a frantic conversation with Mrs. Lift . . . only to learn that she's asleep and snoring with her eyes open!!! Larry's response to that is simply priceless: "I'm gonna go read the paper now, and uh . . ."

On the train, Larry is trying to save Mrs. Lift from falling off the train, and is holding her ankles around his neck.

Owen: What the hell are you doing, Larry?

Larry: I'm makimg a wish, what do you think I'm doing?

Cracks me up every time. It's impossible to list all the good lines in this movie - it would be easier to list the lines that were ho-hum.
