Becky: Daddy, what is that machine doing?

Lenny: It's getting rid of the moths, honey.

Becky: Where's it taking them?

Marcus: Hell.

Lenny: Don't say that, Higgins.

Marcus: I'm sorry. Not hell, Mexico.

Lenny: No, it's giving them electricity so the moths fall asleep electrically.

Becky: It's electrocuting them? No, no, no. But, Daddy, they're dying.

Donna & Charlotte: It's killing them?

Lenny: No.

Becky: Daddy, no.

Lenny: No, no, it's not. Okay? Let me adjust it. Look, they're all all right, I promise you. See? Look at this guy. He's still sleeping.

Greg: It's dead, Dad.

Cassie: *slaps Greg upside the head*

Greg: Ow

Mama: A porch swing. I know what I'm doing this weekend.

Lenny: Now he's dead.

Rob: Welcome back to 1978, everybody. The lake house.

Lenny: Nothing's changed, it's unbelievable. I don't remember this big.

Kurt: This is my kitchen. This is it, right now.

Dianne: Oh, please, enough with the kitchen.

Kurt: Why you so mean?

Cassie: So listen, guys, who's getting what room?

Rob: Actually, I made a map of who gets which room. I took the liberty of reserving the room with the waterbed for Gloria and myself.

Gloria: You're gonna do the backstroke tonight.

Donna: I wanna go swimming with you guys tonight.

Gloria: Oh, honey, we're not really going swimming. What I meant was...

Sally: That's okay. She doesn't need to know what you mean. I don't even know what you mean.

Cassie & Marcus: Oh, I know what she meant.

Eric: Anyway, let's get back to the room picking. Rob, would you like to take us on a tour?

Rob: I'd love to show you a tour. Gloria was just trying to be cool.

Mama: I need someplace near a bathroom.

Donna: Why does the grandma get to go swimming and I don't?

Rob: Okay, here's the big daddy. The master bedroom.

Lenny: let the kids have it. It's a fun time for the kids to be together and they can do kids' things.

Cassie: Come on, go share it. Share the master bedroom.

Keithie: Hey. What's the big box attached to the back of the TV?

Cassie: That's the rest of the TV. Idiot. They didn't always have flat screens there, sport.

Greg: Wow, that is some Stone Age shiznit.

Mama: I need a room with heat.

Kurt: It's summer. It's like 95 degrees in here.

Mama: There he goes again. I got bunions.

Outside

Lenny: So, what's with that Labradoodle? It sounds like Stephen Hawking.

Eric: Curly, he had his vocal cords clipped. A neighbor filed a complaint so it was either clip the cords or put Curly down.

Kurt: Wrong choice.

Eric: Come on, he's part of the family, you know?

Kurt: Imagine when a burglar comes over and hears that. He must run in terror. "Wow, what's that turkey doing in the house?"

Marcus: By the way, Lamonsoff, your son. What's with the boob thing? Isn't the kid a little old?

Kurt: He'll be rubbing her boob with his beard soon. He's gonna get a milk mustache on a real mustache. That won't look right.

Chain saw pedicure, 50 points.

Lenny: Why are they inside right now, anyways? Why would they not come out here and enjoy the lake or do something in the woods?

Eric: There wasn't a time of day that I wasn't outside.

Marcus: You know, we weren't. We were always... We were never in.

All heads on deck!

Greg: Look, there's blood squirting everywhere!

Keithie: I can't take it anymore. Chop his arms off.

Lenny gets tired of hearing the kids scream, he gets up and runs inside

Eric: Oh, he's being a dad. Look at this.

Greg: Dad. Don't, Dad. My high score.

Lenny: That's it. No more video games. No more cell phones. No more texting. Just from now on, while we're here, stay outside and play.

Keithie: What are we supposed to do?

Lenny: Just play like normal kids. Come on, move it. Where's Becky?

The other guys run inside to get their kids while Lenny finds Cassie reading a book so he leaves her alone and meets everyone outside. They start walking in the woods

Lenny: Let's go. Let me show you how the Pilgrims used to hang.

Kurt: When we were kids, your dad used to talk us into doing the craziest stuff.

Eric: Yeah, I remember one time, we got our shower curtains put them in shopping carts and went shopping cart sailing.

Andre: Wait, how did you steer?

Eric: Well, we didn't.

Greg: How'd you stop?

Lenny: You just smashed into something. That was the fun part. Okay. Look, look. Make a tree fort. I'll get you started.

Eric: Rob lived in one of those for a year.

Greg: Why?

Rob: My dad took away my roller skates.

Marcus: oh Vietnam flashback.

Lenny: Wait a minute. Are you kidding me? Rope on a tree, baby. You know what that means.

Charlotte: We get to hang ourselves?

Lenny: You see a rope and a lake and that doesn't make you wanna go nuts?

Eric: It makes me... You know what? You know what, let me show them.

Lenny: Dude, get up on the top rock.

Eric: Yeah, you're right. You gotta back it up, back it up.

Eric gets on the top rock holding the rope

Eric: The class is in session. Who wants to see a double flip?

Eric swings

Eric: Too high.

Greg: Now drop.

Eric: This was a mistake. I can't let go, I'm too scared.

Eric hits a tree then falls

Keithie: That was awesome.

Eric: Oh, God. Oh, God, my leg's snapped. Oh, my God, the bone's sticking out. I need help.

Everyone gets scared and worried

Eric: It's a stick. I got you.

Becky: Daddy, that bird is hurt.

Lenny: Oh, my God. I'll go get a shoebox.

Marcus: Here you go. Hey, did you really land on that bird, man?

Eric: I'm not sure. I did hear a chirp and a crunch-like noise, but that could've been anything.
