Jen R: what'd you get me for Christmas? that oughta cheer you up.
me: the pair of rusted brass chipped-red-paint Christmas bells on the doorknob of the microbrewery. they're not so much bells as long square cylinders...
Jen R: those aren't Christmas bells, those are Christmas balls. Max Headroom's balls.
me: can you just be my wife? it would make my life make sense for once, for the one and only time. you're my sanctuary.

Boc: electric skateboard, who knew?
Marty McFly ...
Simon Cowell: ...
Simon Cowell: are you stretching your hams?
Marty McFly on a hoverboard: the whole driving-cars-on-roads thing is a wild concept, it's all up to each of us being polite and courteous and giving the right of way and using the honor system, or all of our freeways and roads would be a pretzel tangle of pancaked-metal chaos and smoky pileups each hour.
Mimi Rogers: i started this whole thing...
Tom Cruise: ...

Trinity: not mulch. gotta swap out.
Eye Luggage: Splash and go.
John Candy: you had NO IDEA i was even IN this movie, did you?
Laertus: i must confess, i did not. please forgive me, Mr. Candy. it's weird, ALL of these years later, decades go by, and i had NO IDEA John Candy was in Splash!!!
Eye: i agree with Ebert, John Candy should have been the romantic lead in this!!! and Tom Hanks should have been the jerk brother!!!
John Candy: i know, right? i would have nailed it as the lead, imagine me as a soft sensitive teddy bear to Daryl Hannah the mermaid. Tom Hanks is GREAT playing snarky, just ask him.

young John Candy: no i'm also a burgeoning pervert who upskirts all manner of women.
dad: Cape Cod sucks!!! why do we live here? where is Hemingway on his tugboat? the Red Sox are TERRIBLE!!! does this boat tour include pizza cos i'm hungry for some sleepy-seaside-fishing-village Julia Roberts...
Tom Hanks: no i'm not losing my mind, can a person as young as me go crazy? i mean my mind is still so fresh. i saw a mermaid girl.
John: no you were able to breathe underwater, THAT makes you Aquaman.
Tom : i don't have the muscles to play Aquaman.
mom: this is a hallucination brought on by losing too much oxygen to your brain by being underwater too long.

Shecky Greene: nobody knows what i look like, all they know is i'll be performing at the Catskills this Saturday night right after dinner at 4PM...
Nancy Raffa: nobody messes with me cos i look like Carmela Soprano...
Tom: wait this story could have been effective, tugged at the heart strings a little more, if i had been poor, if i had been a FARMWORKER of the fruit company, but it turns out i OWN this fruit company, i'm rich and drive a Benz so it's less impactful that i can't find love, it dampens it.........having said all that it still remains that...
Tom: EVERYBODY WANTS THIS, WANTS LOVE, to find that special someone, to settle down and play the bee in their kid's 2nd-Grade school play. or maybe the kid is the bee and you become the helicopter parent to a child star. the point is we HAVE a kid, only THEN does life have meaning. who the fuck wants to be wandering around a fruit company when they're 40!!! it's the '80s so everybody finds their soulmate at a bar or piano lounge...
John Candy: FRUIT & VEG!!! GET YOUR FRUIT & VEG OVER HERE!!! not talking about my penis, sack, and balls.

Amy Winehouse: ...
John: hey don't hassle Clint Howard like that, that freak is crazier than even me...
Tom: complaints?
John: i'm a big bruiser so don't you go around messing with my little skinny brother. SOMEHOW i'm able to afford a Ferrari owning a fruit company, don't check the books, i'm not skimming off the top of our employees' backs.
L: the tomatoes were bruised. don't worry, i made it into a light spaghetti sauce.
Light Yagami: i'm not feeling these unripe apples, can you make them into apple chips?...
John: we're gonna share some time with these random floozies.
Tom: no dice, bro, a timeshare in Indio is SACRED, you know?, it's SPIRITUAL.
Eugene Levy on the beach.
Eugene Levy: should i have worn the speedo? hello, i'm Kornbluth, my name sounds like cereal. i'm a doctor.

Eugene: i wrote science fiction.........on the side...
Daryl Hannah: it would have been PERFECT if i had been in Hannah and Her Sisters...

Daryl: it's the underwater inside-the-hollowed-out pirate ship shipwreck One Piece intro!!!...

mastercard: we went William Carlos Williams from 2016 to 2019...
naked Daryl: in my defense, the Statue of Liberty is also naked underneath her robe, i was just being a superfan.
Tom: the apartment i live at, it's the Bosom Buddies Building!!!
Tom: how'd you get this fountain inside this room?
Daryl: by watching $100,000 Pyramid...
Tom: wanna take a bath together?
Daryl: there won't be room with my mermaid tail. a bathtub is a downgrade when you had the ocean. plus, just one box of Arm & Hammer salt costs $16 in '80s inflation...
Daryl: when i climb on top of this streetlight, i see magic.
Tom: you know if we all just stopped to see magic in a streetlight there would be no more war.
Madison: it's weird, right? cos Madison was supposed to be a JOKE NAME...
Tom: tell that to the CW...
Madison: Madison at Bloomingdale's, it has that Breakfast at Tiffany's ring to it.
Tom: ring, i see what you did there. what's your real name?
Madison: you got the Pioneer skyscraper speakers ready?...
Tom: tower away, all the TV screens shattered i'll just put on my Fry's card...
Madison: six days until the moon is full...
Tom: no it's okay, we gave the land back to Hiawatha...
at the ice rink.
Tom: i don't care if you were a man, i'm in love with the soul in front of me.........THIS was the moment i became a trans hero...
at the racquetball court.
John Candy: dude THIS SCENE is the one they used in the Disney Sunday Night Movie intro!!!
Tom: the thing was, everybody in the '80s actually did smoke cigarettes at a racquetball court.
Ryan O'Neal: it was still allowed.
John Candy: doesn't make sense, how can a tiny miniscule little blue ball hit my melon of a head and knock me out?...
Tom: you're really tucking into that lobster...
Madison: this lobster is my ex-boyfriend, so.........both meanings...
Tom: it's like you're snorting cocaine.
reporter crush: how do you make love to a mermaid?
Tom: thank you for using "make love".
reporter: alliteration.
John Candy to employees: haven't you seen someone fuck a fish?
Rubikon: THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES IS GEORGE CLOONEY'S FATHER!!!
George Clooney: my dad FINALLY went for it.
at the dignitary dinner.
Eugene Levy with hose in hand: i woulda made a fine fireman...
Madison alone and freezing in a water box: i'm scared.
Eugene: i won't let them hurt you. but they're planning to turn you into fishsticks...
Eugene: you're hurting her. i got this cast on my arm from sympathetic injury, Madison's pain transferred to my body.
guard: tell me something only a Swede would know.
John Candy, scientist: Swedish porn never shows any cum.
Ingmar Bergman: research.
Swedish scientist accent: a chef's kitchen is called a lab...
Eugene Levy: that never happens!!! the SECOND PROTAGONIST got a kiss from the main girl!!!
at New York Harbor.
Tom: of course i'll go with you, Madison, this is what everybody wants, this kind of love. even if it mean i'll have to live underwater forever. i can't swim.
Madison: it's easier to swim when you're naked...
Tom: wait, let me make one final phone call to Peter Scolari forever...
Tom without scuba gear: oh i hate punching frogs, this film was HUGE in France.
underwater.
Tom to Madison: oh, you live at the airport?...
Rita Coolidge: "Love Came for Me" is a GORGEOUS love song, a SUMPTUOUS love theme. but it's not about a Beast so it won no awards...
Daryl Hannah: during production they kept feeding me McDonald's fries off the pier when i was tied up in my mermaid tail all shrink-wrapped, that was very thoughtful of them. tho i prefer Burger King fries.
Tom Hanks: who PREFERS Burger King fries?!!! we fed the fries to you like you were a trained seal.
Daryl: bark bark bark.
John Candy: see? Tom Hanks is mean.
Daryl: mouth of a sailor, soul of a mermaid...
Tom Hanks: there is only ONE PHYSICAL COPY of the Splash soundtrack left anywhere on the entire globe and it's at my mansion. i will give it to the lucky one who wins the chance to bulk me up, make my body muscular by working me in the gym 3 times a day, i want fucking BIG-ASS MUSCLES...
Jen R: i have that LP record in a milk crate at my NYC condo. g'night folks.
