Quotes 

• Demo : [to Tripp]  You were bitten by a chuckwalla. That shouldn't have happened. It's a reptile of peace. I have a theory. This isn't the first time that nature's lashed out at you like this. I believe it's because your life is fundamentally at odds with the natural world.

  Tripp : Huh?

  Demo : Therefore, nature rejects you.

• Tripp : Dude, did you just drop me from a forty-foot cliff? I mean, you want to talk about a friend, man. You went behind my back and blackmailed your way into getting your girlfriend.

  Demo : He's right.

  Ace : I'm sorry I dropped you from a cliff.

  Tripp : It's okay.

  Demo : Granted, he used you, but not out of malice. Look at him. How many chances is he gonna get? He saw a chance for love, Tripp, and he took it, which is exactly what we wanted for you.

  Tripp : Am I getting advice from my two loser buddies who still live at home?

  Ace : Actually, I own my home.

  Demo : What?

  Tripp : No, you don't.

  Ace : I bought it a couple of years ago from my Mom. That way, she has a place to live and I don't get nailed on the inheritance tax.

  Demo : Smart.

  Tripp : Wow.

  Ace : And Demo, here, has chosen the life of a wanderer. I mean, sure, he technically still lives at home.

  Demo : Yeah.

  Ace : But his permanent address is in his heart. He's a bum.

  Demo : I think what we're trying to say is that the two of us are happy, and we're perfectly functional.

  Ace : And you, Tripp, are not.

• Demo : I feel a little bit bad because I kind of implied to Paula that I wouldn't say anything, but deception's a poison. It's like margarine - I can't have that in my body.

• Tripp : I do sleep well at night.

  Ace : On a twin bed, with Superman sheets that you've had since you were six.

  Demo : As opposed to you, who sleeps in a King-sized bed in your mother's basement.

  Ace : It's orthopedic, and I need it. And at least I'm not sponging off my parents so I can afford to get laid on every continent.

  Demo : Whoa, whoa... I'm a ramblin' man, I'm a tumble weed, I'm a seeker of truth! And one truth I've learned - a child is a parent's greatest joy, which is why I can't leave my parents' place, because... because they would miss me!

• Demo : And yet, in America, we're-we're shunned for our lifestyle.

  Tripp : When we should be celebrating our lifestyle. We are men who still live at home.

  Demo : Yes.

  Tripp : We're not here to apologize about who we are, how we do it, or who we live with.

  Demo : No!

  Tripp : I'm looking around this table, hombres, and I see three winners, huh? And to every one of those out there who sees something different, I say "bring it on," 'cause it's gonna take a stick of dynamite to get me out of my parents' house.

• Tripp : [trying to feed a chipmunk a chocolate bar]  You want a treat from the big city, boy?

  Demo : He's not a child, Tripp. Look how peaceful he is.

  Tripp : Come here, little boy. You want a little bit of chocolate, baby-boo-boo?

  Demo : You're giving him a Power Bar?

  Tripp : Everybody loves chocolate. Baby-boo-boo?

  Demo : Tripp, he's saying no.

  Tripp : Look into my eyes.

  Demo : He's saying no, Tripp.

  Tripp : Baby-boo-boo?

  [chipmunk bites Tripp's hand] 

  Tripp : Aaow!

• Tripp : It's over. She gotta go.

  Ace : You're dumping Paula?

  Demo : What happened?

  Tripp : Same thing that always happens. Everything is going along nice and smooth, we're having a good time, and all of a sudden, out of nowhere - whoap! - she gets serious. I hate to say it, boys, but it is time to take the girl home.

• Demo : What are you gonna do now?

  Tripp : I don't know. I'm in unchartered waters here, boys.

• Sue : [to Tripp]  And, uh, your bathroom needs cleaning, so I left the stuff in the hall; and, when you're done with the rubber gloves, just remember to turn them inside out. Bye.

  Demo : Something's wrong with your mom.
