Quote from The Ref


(At Lloyd and Caroline's house for Christmas dinner, Lloyd's mother, brother, sister-in-law and their two children are having dinner. Gus, a thief, has taken Lloyd and Caroline's son hostage and is posing as their marriage counselor so no one will suspect him of just having robbed a house in a wealthy part of town. At this point, things have gotten a little heated, and everyone is talking at once.)

Lloyd: Well, why don't we all into the living room and then we can uh, have our coffee and, uh, dessert in there . . .
Caroline: You phony bastard!
Gus: Caroline, shut up!
Connie: Let's all go to the bathroom, it's--
Gus: Sit down, Connie. Sit.
Connie: Excuse me, but I am not one of your patients.
Gus: You're gonna be somebody's patient if you don't get your ass back down into that chair.
John: Wow.
(Connie slaps John on the shoulder)
John: Ow!
Gus: And I swear to God -- you hit that kid one more time, and I'm gonna stick that pig's head right up your ass!
Connie: Gary, are you gonna let him talk to me like that?!?
Gary: Well . . . hon, he is a doctor.
Gus: Now . . . Caroline, Lloyd and I will go into the kitchen and get the coffee and dessert, and then we're gonna open the presents.
Connie: (flustered) We can't open presents until midnight.
Gus: Why not?
Connie: (indignant) Because it's not Christmas until midnight!
Gus: Well, guess what? We're changing the rules a little bit, okay? We're gonna open the presents now, not later, now. Why? Because we're adults, and we can open the presents, whenever we want!
