FoxTrot (1989)

 * [while camping]
 * Peter: I don't think it's a good idea to bring Paige along.
 * Roger: Nonsense, it'll be good for her.
 * [out on the lake]
 * Roger: Okay, Paige, let me show you how to bait a hook...
 * Paige: THAT'S A WORM!
 * Roger: Of course it's a worm.
 * Paige: [rearing back] THERE ARE WORMS IN THE BOAT! AAAAAAAA!
 * Peter: Paige, sit down! You're gonna flip the-!
 * [their canoe flips over, dumping them and all their gear into the water]
 * Peter: Just for the record...
 * Roger: Be quiet and help me turn this thing over.
 * Paige: NOW THE WORMS ARE IN THE WATER! AAAAAAAA!

Pass The Loot (1990)
''Peter and Paige are at a department store. Paige, wearing her usual blue jeans, is looking at swimsuits''
 * Paige: I promise this won't take long, Peter.
 * Paige goes into dressing room; next panel she walks out, now wearing a one-piece swimsuit and checking herself out in the full-length mirror
 * Paige: Hey, Peter, what do you think?
 * Peter{offscreen}: Hubba hubba.
 * Paige: Really? Let me turn around. What about this side?
 * Peter{offscreen}: Va-va-VOOM!
 * Paige now has a big smile
 * Paige: Aw, Peter, you mean it? That is so sweet...
 * Paige walks over to Peter, who has his nose buried in a ladies' swimsuit catalog
 * Paige: ...or maybe typical pig behavior.
 * Peter: Yowza. Wonder if these girls also model thongs.

Eight Yards Down And Out (1992)

 * Paige: Hurry up, I'm starving.
 * Roger: Hurry up? Paige, lighting a barbecue is an art! The last thing we want to do is hurry. From the careful stacking of the coals... to the liberal application of lighter fluid... to the graceful tossing of the match...
 * [Explosion of flame.]
 * Paige: To the near-routine dialing of 9-1-1...
 * Roger: That you can hurry.


 * [in Current Affairs]
 * Ms. Porter: OK, Nicole, I have here a map of the world with all of the countries' names removed. Would you please point out to the class where Iraq is.
 * Nicole: Hmmm... well, let's see... if this is America... then Iraq must be here.
 * Ms. Porter: [after an incredulous pause] Let's back up to that "if", Nicole.
 * Nicole: OK, if this is America...


 * Ms. Porter: Nicole, I find it truly distressing that you can't even find your own country on this map!
 * Nicole: All the names are missing.
 * Ms. Porter: Go by shape.
 * Nicole: How am I supposed to know what sort of stupid shape the U.S. is in?!
 * [another incredulous pause]
 * Ms. Porter: Interesting choice of words.
 * Nicole: Gimme a hint. Is this Hawaii or Australia?


 * Nicole: OK, this must be Iraq. Or Cuba.
 * Ms. Porter: That's enough guessing, Nicole. Please take your seat. Now will someone please come up here and correctly point out where Iraq is on the map? [Paige raises her hand] Paige?
 * Paige: [points] It's in here somewhere.
 * Ms. Porter: [applauds] Bravo. Did everyone see that?
 * Nicole: [as Paige takes her seat] How the heck did you know?
 * Paige: It was the only place you hadn't tried.
 * Ms. Porter: [off-panel] OK, this next question is for everyone except Paige...


 * Paige is reading a newspaper
 * Andy: Paige, may I have the paper?
 * Paige: In a moment, Mom. I need to do this for a school assignment.
 * Andy: School?
 * Paige: Ms. Porter, the geography teacher, assigned it. She said the class needs to be more in tune with what is happening in the world so she has asked us to read the newspaper for a minimum of fifteen minutes.
 * Andy: Sounds like a good idea. So what did you find out?
 * Paige: Garfield ate Jon's lunch.


 * Roger: Wow. We did a pretty good job on the ol' turkey this year. Did we finish all the stuffing too? Holy cow. I know we ate a lot, but I didn't think we are all of it! And the mashed potatoes... And the creamed onions... And the cranberry sauce... They're all gone? Hee hee - we really had quite a feast last night, didn't we?
 * Andy: You're using the royal "we", I assume.
 * Roger: AAAA! Did we eat all the pumpkin pie?!


 * Jason: Hey, Paige - what do you want for Christmas?
 * Paige: I dunno. New sunglasses... a watch... a leather jacket... why?
 * Jason: I'm trying to figure out what to ask Santa for for Christmas.
 * Paige: So what'd you ask what I want?
 * Jason: I want to get the anti-matter versions of your presents. That way, when they come into contact with your stuff, it'll all blow up. Haven't you ever seen "Star Trek"? Now, then, was a particular style of sunglasses you wanted?
 * Paige: Tell me, do you come in an anti-matter version?


 * Jason: Mom, can I use your computer for a while?
 * Andy: Why?
 * Jason: Well, to help Santa out, I've made a graph of my "goodness" over the past 11 months and I think it'd be more effective if I rendered it with the computer. Somehow, crayon doesn't quite cut it.
 * Andy: Can I see?
 * Jason: Essentially, I depict my year as a fluctuation between "very, very good" and "amazingly good" with a coupla spikes touching on "None Better." You know the saying "Computers don't lie"? I mean, that's just a saying, right?
 * Andy: You don't mind if I add today's data point, do you?

Bury My Heart At Fun-Fun Mountain (1993)

 * [Peter is in the principal's office.]

 * Peter: (on his knees) Sir... please... I beseech you...


 * [Roger gives Andy a valentine card.]
 * Andy: For me? Roger, how sweet.
 * Roger: And I mean every word.
 * Andy: [Reads card to herself] "Dear Fatso: Roses are red, violets are blue; if something smells bad, it's gotta be you. Roses are red, emeralds green; you must weigh more than a washing machine. Roses are red, like a huge fiery comet; your face would make even Quasimodo vomit. Roses are red, tomatoes are too; if I had one now, I'd throw it at you. Roses are red, daffodils gold; you might look better if you scraped off that mold. Roses are red, looming huge to the ant; I wish you would drown in a waste treatment pl-"
 * [By now, Andy is visibly angry. Cut to Paige reading a card that Jason has just given her.]
 * Paige: "Your kisses sweet, like angels' song..."
 * Jason: Uh-oh.
 * Roger: [off panel] Andy, OW!

Say Hello To Cactus Flats (1993)

 * Denise: Peter, my mom wants me to ask you where you think this relationship is going. She wants me to find out how committed you really are... what your intentions are... basically, how you really feel about me.
 * [Silence.]

 * Peter: Four squirts.
 * Jason: Five squirts.
 * Peter: Six squirts.
 * Jason: Eat that taco.
 * Roger: [face-palming] The Cleavers lived a lie.
 * Paige: Nine squirts...
 * Andy: Paige, stay out of this!


 * Roger: (reading the sports section) I tell you, the Warriors look more and more like the team to beat. Of course, you can't discount Portland. They're most likely still the team to beat. And the Bulls, well, they're just on fire. Definitely the team to beat. But the Celtics look OK. Could be the real team to beat. Can't forget the Knicks. At home they're probably still the team to beat.
 * [wider panel showing that the whole family is sitting in the pews at church, with several members of the congregation staring at Roger]
 * Roger: Ooo - the Jazz. Now there's the team to beat.
 * Andy: (lifting her purse) Ask me whom I'd like to beat.
 * Peter: Here?
 * Paige: Now?
 * Jason: (skyward) Thank you.


 * Andy: Roger, have you seen this new show about Indiana Jones?
 * Roger: No. What about it?
 * Andy: Sometimes they show him when he is 16 years old, other times they show him at 10.
 * Roger: OK, what does that have to do with this family.
 * Jason: Presenting, Indy-10!
 * Peter: And Indy-16!
 * Andy: That.


 * Peter: How's your dinner, Indy-10?
 * Jason: Yummy. How's yours, Indy-16?
 * Peter: Good. It reminds me of the cuisine of the tribesmen of New Guinea. They, of course, use a heavier sauce.
 * Jason: You're forgetting I haven't been there yet.
 * Peter: Ah, yes. It'll be the spring of 1914. You'll have fun. Oh, by the way, they'll want your head.
 * Jason: Seems everyone does.
 * Roger/Andy/Paige: [in highly annoyed unison] I can only speak for me, but-
 * Peter: I learned a new language today...


 * Andy: Have you seen Jason? He was supposed to help with dinner.
 * Paige: The last I saw, he and Marcus were sprinting off into the hills.
 * Andy: What? He knows those hills are covered with poison oak this time of year! Why would he do something stupid like that?!
 * Paige: Ask me if I've seen Peter.
 * [Cut to the hills, where Peter, with suction cup darts Super-glued to his face, is furiously chasing Jason and Marcus, all three of them scratching themselves frantically.]
 * Peter: You can run (itch) but you can't (itch) hide...
 * Jason: That's (itch) what you (itch) think.
 * Marcus: Huff (itch) puff (itch)...


 * Jason's Voice on the Answering Machine: (CLICK) Hello and welcome to the Jason Fox Hotline-Your 24-hour source for all things Jason. For breakfast today, I had Cheerios and-
 * [Later...]
 * Roger: Why does everyone sound so darn grouchy on this thing?
 * Jason: Must be the tape.

 * Andy: Don't ask.
 * Jason: Would it be okay if Marcus and I built an android this weekend?


 * Paige: AAAA! Who taped over Melrose Place?!
 * Jason: Hey, don't blame me. You left the tape in the machine, dummy. When you record something, you should either watch it right away or take out the casette. How am I supposed to know what you've seen and what you haven't?!
 * Paige: You recorded a basketball game?
 * Jason: AAAA! Who taped over Babylon 5?!
 * Peter: Hey, don't blame me.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Jason: [on Christmas morning] Yaaaa! A "Street Kombat II" game cartridge! This is the one I really wanted! Oh, thank you, Thank you! Thank you! Vidgamer Digest gave this cartridge its highest rating ever! It's supposed to be amazing! In this one round, you get to fight each other with rusty chainsaws! Marcus says they used SGI workstations to render the blood splatters in 3-D! For six months all I've dreamed about is owning this video game cartridge and now I've got it! I'm the happiest kid alive! This is what Christmas is all about. [pause] I mean, you know, apart from all that other stuff.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Paige: Have you thought of a New Year's resolution?
 * Jason: Actually, yes, I have. I'm resolving to be your new best friend. Beginning Sunday, we'll be inseparable. When you watch TV, I'll watch TV. When you go to the mall, I'll go to the mall.
 * Paige: If you even think of following me to the mall...
 * Jason: ...And when you say things like that, I'll just say, 'I love you, sis.'"
 * Paige: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

 * Jason: So I started a little early.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Paige: Peter, do you make New Year's resolutions?
 * Peter: Nope.
 * Paige: How come?
 * Peter: It just seems kinda pointless. You start out with all these high hopes and expectations, but then eventually reality sets in and it all goes out the window. Then you feel depressed until the next year, when you basically do the exact same thing all over again. It's an endless cycle of failure, why bother?
 * Paige: [rolling her eyes] This from a die-hard Red Sox fan.
 * Peter: Hey, they're winning it all this year - you watch.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Jason: Mom, I've got good news and bad news.

 * Jason: He's doing them on the computer.
 * Andy: [lowers her head to the table] Likewise, that's not just bad news...
 * Roger: [entering] Are floppy disks supposed to snap in half like this?

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Roger: I don't get it - the stupid program won't install!
 * Jason: Dad, duh! You bought the Windows version!
 * Roger: So?
 * Jason: So we don't have Windows!
 * Roger: [points to wall] Are you nuts? There's a window right there!
 * Jason: [face-palming] Would you like me to go nuts?

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Paige: [slams down the phone] Motherrr!
 * Andy: Paige, what's wrong?
 * Paige: These weirdos keep calling me up! I don't even know who they are!  This one guy called from Norway!  What the heck is going on?!
 * Andy: [glancing upstairs] Well, if I had to guess...
 * [in Andy's office upstairs, Jason and Marcus are at the computer]
 * Marcus: The Internet: the ultimate bathroom wall.
 * Jason: How's this? "For a really, really good time, call Paige at..."

 * Cashier: I forgot the fries. That'll be $41 even.
 * Roger: Nothing like a vacation to make you appreciate your job.

I don't really have too much planned for today, except to... um... except to... All right, who wrote "Give really hard math test" on my "To Do" list?!
 * Andy: [later, at home] This note says the principal had to rescue you from some sort of mob.
 * Jason: It's been three months! You'd think everyone would want one!

<hr width="50%"/>


 * Paige: [to herself, as she prepares to give a speech in her social studies class] OK, Paige, it's just a three-minute speech. Don't be nervous.  Do what Dad said: imagine everyone is in their underwear.  Yowza!  It's like a Chippendales show!  I've really got to stop listening to Dad.
 * Teacher: Miss Fox, can we get this started sometime today?

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Peter: I guess I should get started on my book report. Oh, what the heck. There's always tomorrow.
 * Paige: Isn't it due tomorrow?
 * Peter: Yes, but there's always tomorrow morning.
 * Paige: My brother, the Evel Knievel of homework.
 * Peter: I guess I'll need a book. How late's the library open?

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Peter: This World Wide Web is pretty cool. I mean, if I wanted to, I could access NASA photos...I could go into the Library of Congress and read historical texts...I could study the art collections of numerous European museums...
 * Steve: Emphasis on "if you wanted to."
 * Peter: Ooo - Miss December likes ice cream! Me, too!

<hr width="50%"/>


 * Roger: Paige, your mother asked me to make you kids' lunches today. What kind of sandwich do you like?
 * Paige: Oh, I don't care. Peanut butter and jelly...bologna and cheese...tuna fish...whatever.

 * [Later...]
 * Paige: My father is not of this earth.
 * Nicole: A peanut butter, tuna fish, bologna, jelly and cheese sandwich?!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * [in the kitchen]
 * Roger: I just can't figure out this credit card statement.
 * Jason: In what way?
 * Roger: It's bizarre. It shows a purchase, then a credit, then a purchase, then a credit, then a purchase, then a credit... what's going on?? Is it a computer glitch?
 * Jason: Dad, think about it.
 * [in the living room]
 * Paige: Mom, please don't make me take this back!
 * Andy: Paige, that sweater cost more than my college tuition!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Jason: Hey, Paige, I didn't know you and Jane Goodall were buddies!
 * Paige: What are you talking about?
 * Jason: This magazine has a picture of you two standing arm-in-arm in the jungle.
 * Paige: She has her arm around a chimpanzee!
 * Jason: Oh. Whoops. My mistake.
 * Paige: That is so mean! Give me that!
 * [Later]
 * Paige: Hey, Peter, I didn't know you and Jane Goodall were buddies!
 * Peter: What are you talking about?

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Roger: OK, my pretty Valentine, now close your eyes...

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Andy: Roger, what is that thing in your mouth?!
 * Roger: It's a cigar.
 * Andy: I know that. What are you doing with it?
 * Roger: Fred gave it to me. Check out the fancy label: Aroma del Baño. [Spanish: "Smell of the bathroom"]
 * Andy: Roger, did you ever study Spanish in school?
 * Roger: My pronunciation is that good, eh?

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Roger: So you shaved your head because you basically lost some stupid bet with the opposing team about who could eat the most double cheeseburgers in an hour?
 * Peter: Uh, yeah.
 * Roger: [rubs his eyes] Son, I'm going to say something that might sound a little insensitive, but here goes... I'M NOT THE BALDEST GUY IN THIS HOUSE ANYMORE! YEE-HA!
 * Peter: [getting up] Where's Mom? I think I should let her yell at me some more.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * [Peter shaved his head after losing a bet.]
 * Jason: Please?
 * Peter: No!
 * Jason: Please! Just once!
 * Peter: All right, fine, but just once. [clears throat and takes off his hat] Ahead warp factor seven. Engage.
 * Jason: Goosebumps.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Roger: Why the long face?
 * Jason: Peter gave me his old magic set, but all the tricks in it are really lame. Look at this junk - cups and balls... sponge rabbits... a handkerchief that changes color... they call this MAGIC?!  Where's the fire?!  Where are the tigers?!  Where's the bed of spears I can dangle myself over while I try to get out of leg irons?!
 * Roger: [to Andy off-panel] Dear, I take back all those jokes about your hair going gray.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Jason: Okay, I'm just gonna take a wild stab here... Professor Plum, with a candlestick, in the Conservatory. I'm right, aren't I? I did it! I won again! That's 14 times in a row I've beaten you! You have to admit it, Paige, either I am the greatest "Clue" player who ever lived, or you just plain, outright, suck wastewater... or both.
 * Paige: (chasing him) Paige Fox, with a game board, in the dining room.
 * Jason: MOM!

 * [Peter swings again.]
 * Umpire: Strike two!
 * [Peter swings again.]
 * Umpire: Strike three!

 * Jason: HI, DAD! HOW WAS WORK?

 * Jason: Suppose someone made chocolate chip cookies but left out the chocolate chips? What would you call them then? I mean, you can't just call them "cookies". And "chipless chocolate chip cookies" sounds sort of awkward. Hmm...
 * Paige: [scooping a handful] Personally, I'd call them "a crime against humanity."
 * Jason: We're trying to have a serious discussion here, Paige!
 * Marcus: Actually, I kind of agree with her.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Andy: [reading a list] Now, there are pre-made meals in the freezer... and don't forget to take the trash out tomorrow...

 * [Pause]
 * Andy: [returning to the list] Also, I gave Irma next door a key, in case you lock yourself out of the house...
 * Roger: I'm waiting for an answer.

 * Roger: [To himself, while reading the newspaper, eating potato chips and drinking a beer] Sometimes I think having no knowledge is power.
 * Andy: Roger, LOOK at this! You call this folding the laundry?!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Paige: [in the car, riding home from the mall] I can't believe I've actually finished all of my back-to-school shopping! I've got the perfect back-to-school outfit... the perfect back-to-school purse... an adorable back-to-school hair-care ensemble... everything! I, Paige Fox, am now ready for school to start!
 * Peter: [very haggard] What about getting notebooks and stuff?
 * Paige: Oops.
 * Peter: If you think for one second that we're driving back to that mall...

I'm Flying, Jack... I Mean, Roger (1999)

 * [Roger is wearing earmuffs, a heavy coat and mittens, and chipping furiously at his car with an ice scraper.]
 * Roger: Stupid ice all over the windshield! Stupid ice all over the mirrors! Stupid ice all over the key hole!
 * Andy: I told you trying to wash the car today was lunacy.
 * Roger: (other hand comes up with the garden hose, which has icicles sticking out of the nozzle) Stupid ice all over my pant legs!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Roger: [outraged] Andy, I can't believe you deliberately told Jason to play video games all week so I couldn't watch any TV sports news! It's the week of the Super Bowl! You know how much football means to me! You know how I like to wrap myself in every nuance and detail and statistic about this contest! Sheesh - we've been married 20 years! Why would you, of all people, want to deny me the one true love of my life?! [realizes] ...Um, that didn't come out quite right.
 * Andy: [icily] Speaking as the other one true love of your life...
