Quotes 

  • Gordon Szalinski : You are dead meat, mister!

    Wayne Szalinski : Gordon, you're three-quarters of an inch tall, now's not the time.

  • [Their answering machine message:] 

    Wayne Szalinski : You've reached the Szalinskis. At the sound of the beep, please leave your message, your fax, or your binary file.

  • Wayne Szalinski : Baseball's just a phase, it'll pass. But science is always cool.

  • [Climbing up a wicker chair] 

    Wayne Szalinski : Honey, at least you're getting some exercise.

    Diane Szalinski : Yeah. Now that I've got a wicker chair, I don't need to go to the gym anymore.

  • Wayne Szalinski : The kids are messy eaters, so there'll be plenty of crumbs for us to eat.

    Gordon Szalinski : Wayne, we're not gonna spend the rest of our lives tiny; we're going to get big again... somehow.

  • Wayne Szalinski : Diane, are you going to stay mad at me the whole time or are you going to try and make the best of this bad situation?

    Diane Szalinski : I'm going to stay mad at you the whole time.

  • [on the answering machine] 

    Wayne Szalinski : Guess what? Gordon and I got tickets to see the space shuttle-land tonight, so if it's okay, we're going to take off.

    Diane Szalinski : [picks up the phone]  No, Wayne. It is not OK! Patty and I are going on vacation. I must've told you this 15 times. Do you remember?

    Wayne Szalinski : Sure I remembered. But then I... forgot.

    Diane Szalinski : Well listen to me Wayne, and listen good. I am going on this vacation and nothing and no one can STOP ME!

    [hangs up] 

    Wayne Szalinski : [into the phone]  You *do* need a vacation...

  • [Landing in a laundry basket] 

    Wayne Szalinski : Honey, I don't think we're using enough fabric softener.

  • Wayne Szalinski : Your dad's invention is going to be in the Smithsonian alongside the gramophone!

    Adam Szalinski : What's a gramophone?

    Wayne Szalinski : An early record player.

    Adam Szalinski : What's a record player?

    Wayne Szalinski : An early CD player.

  • Wayne Szalinski : [greeting her and the robot-dog]  Hey, Tina. Hey, Trowser.

    Trina : Say hello, Trowser.

    Trowser : [barking]  Hello - hello.

    Wayne Szalinski : "Hello"?

    Trina : Turns out, that's what "woof" means.

  • [last lines] 

    Adam Szalinski : Hey, did you make any changes while I was gone?

    Wayne Szalinski : Well, I did move the Tiki Man into the backyard. What do you think?

  • Jill : This stuff is really good. What's in it?

    Wayne : [He and Gordon are all covered in onion dip sauce]  The Szalinski brothers!

    Gordon Szalinski : Yep.

  • Gordon Szalinski : [test-drinking the tequila to make his and Wayne's bodies glow]  Cheers.

    Wayne Szalinski : [at first doesn't realize]  It's not working. It's supposed to make my body glow.

    Gordon Szalinski : Mmm-hmm. Open your shirt.

    Wayne Szalinski : [lifts his shirt up]  Gee, is that my stomach?

    Gordon Szalinski : Yeah. And here's mine. The problem is, the liquid just stays in your gut. I don't know what to do.

    Wayne Szalinski : Well obviously, it's not getting enough absorbent in the bloodstream. Have you tried going through the calcium channel?

    Gordon Szalinski : The calcium channel?

    Wayne Szalinski : Yeah, and mix it with milk. That'll make it work. It's obvious.

    Gordon Szalinski : Hey, I'm not without ideas. I was gonna suggest making the highway workers wear tube tops.

  • Jenny Szalinski : [after all their moms left]  Now what?

    Wayne Szalinski : You guys are all guests in my house this weekend, and I want us to have a good time. So I planned a little kickoff surprise. We are gonna use marshmallows, and gumdrops, to make models of water molecules.

    [the kids briefly just stand there staring at Wayne like he's going crazy] 

    Wayne Szalinski : What do you think?

    Mitch Szalinski : You're a maniac, Uncle Wayne!

    Wayne Szalinski : [laughs]  I know. Anyway, we're going to put them together-- Oh darn, I forgot to get toothpicks. I'm gonna need you guys to run down to the mini-mart for me. How much do you think toothpicks cost?

    Jenny Szalinski : Oh, about 6 or 7 dollars a box.

    Wayne Szalinski : [gives Jenny a 10 dollar bill]  Well, here's a 10. If there's any change get yourselves some snacks. But see if you can get back within an hour or so, okay? For some molecule action.

    [the kids leave] 

    Gordon Szalinski : Wayne, that's not like you. You forgot to get toothpicks.

    [Wayne hysterically giggles] 

    Gordon Szalinski : What? What's so funny?

    Wayne Szalinski : It was just a ruse to get them out of the house.

    Gordon Szalinski : A ruse? Why?

    Wayne Szalinski : To save Tiki Man.

  • Wayne Szalinski : I gotta take the time to appreciate the world around me. I've been working too hard. I need to stop and notice things.

    Diane Szalinski : Really, like what?

    Wayne Szalinski : Well, like the intricate weave of this carpet... or the perfect cylindrical quality of this roach turd.

    Diane Szalinski : Roach turd?

    Wayne Szalinski : Not to worry. See it's dry. Whoever dropped this left a long time ago. Maybe weeks or months...

    Diane Szalinski : [to Patty]  We vacuum more than that.

    Wayne Szalinski : Nope, the only thing you gotta worry about is if you ran into...

    [pokes one that breaks open] 

    Wayne Szalinski : a wet one.

  • [Wayne and Gordon have carried the Tiki Man up the stairs into the attic] 

    Gordon Szalinski : The thing's only seven feet tall. Call me crazy, I think Diane might notice this.

    Wayne Szalinski : Not if I shrink it.

    [Wayne pulls a sheet off the refurbished shrinking machine] 

    Gordon Szalinski : Wow. The machine looks beautiful!

    Wayne Szalinski : Yeah. I got it out of mothballs and polished it up for the Smithsonian.

    [beat] 

    Wayne Szalinski : I'm gonna fire it up.

    [Wayne begins frantically flipping switches and pressing buttons] 

    Gordon Szalinski : Right.

    [realizes what Wayne's just said] 

    Gordon Szalinski : Oh, no. No, no! You're not gonna start it -- start it up again? You can't start it up again! You were banned from using this by a joint committee of the FDA and your wife!

    Wayne Szalinski : Is the FDA here? Is my wife here? I've made up my mind. I'm gonna shrink that Tiki Man so I can carry it with me always. Besides, it's a point of honor!
