Carl: You're very clever, Dupree. You're living in my house. You're going to town on yourself in my living room. And now you're moving in on my wife.
Dupree: What?
Carl: You think you got it all figured out, but I'm on to you, and you're out of here!
Dupree: Oh, no. Hold on. You're not throwing me out of here. I'll leave!
Carl: Good! And while you're at it, leave the flask and the groomsman's outfit.
Dupree: But you gave those to me. Those were gifts. Those were gifts!
Carl: All right! You know, keep those. All those were gifts. But leave the insignia. Because that was for my best man.
Dupree: Hey. It's for the best. The guy would have beenliving off us forever.
