精彩对白
Focker: Welcome, in-laws!
Dina: Oh, Gregor. My goodness.
Focker: Dina, Dina Bobina, Banana Fana Fofina.
Dina: I'm so happy to see you.
Focker: Lovely Dina.
Dina: You, too, Gregor.
Focker: Hello, Jack.
Jack: Greg. Everything okay, Greg?
Focker: Everything's great.
Jack: Good.
Focker: Unfortunately, renovations on the house, not quite where I'd like them to be.
Jack: Well, those things happen.
Focker: They do. I mean, never to me before.
Wife: And Sam here has done very, very well with her tae kwon do lessons. She's a... What are you? A yellow belt now?
Sam: Yep.
Wife: Yellow belt.
Dina: Wow, sweetheart. Very impressive.
Focker: She's lethal. She is a ninja.
Jack: Proud of her. Now, Henry, you're going to drink your milk, aren't you? You want to hit the same growth spurt as your sister.
Dina: Jack.
Jack: I'm just saying, you know, it's hard to believe that they're three minutes apart.
Focker: Henry, do what your grandpa says. Aw, man. For real. Good man. Okay. Who wants some turkey?
I do, right here! Right here!
Dina: Sweetheart, you didn't have to make a whole turkey just for us.
Jack: Why not?
Wife: Actually, Greg did it.
Dina: Greg.
Focker: Well, I remember at last year's Thanksgiving, Jack said he liked roast turkey so much and he couldn't understand why people only had it once a year.
Jack: Excellent memory, Greg.
Jack: Plus, it's a wonderfully lean meat. Healthy. Good for your heart.
Dina: Such a sweetheart.
Henry: Grandpa Jack, can I ask you a question?
Jack: You surely can.
Henry: How come you're afraid of lizards?
Jack: Henry, that's a very good question. And I'll tell you why. When I was stationed in the Mekong Delta during the Vietnam War, a tiny gecko crawled into my ear one night and laid its eggs. And I had to endure the torturous probing of our unit's medic to remove the lizard larvae from my ear canal before they hatched into my brain.
Dina: Jack.
Sam: Cool.
Henry: Yuck.
Wife: Yes, thanks for sharing that, Dad.
Focker: All right, gobble, gobble, everybody! It's turkey time!
Wife: That looks good.
Dina: That's a work of art.
Focker: Thank you very much.
Jack: Looks great, Greg.
Focker: Thank you, Jack. And to carve it, I thought we might use the beautiful Irish hunting knife emblazoned with the Byrnes family crest that Jack so thoughtfully brought back for us from his ancestral homeland. Look at that, kids.
Dina: Great.
Focker: Look at that. See that crest? That was used by your ancestors long time ago, back in the olden days, to identify their family.
Henry: Daddy, can I ask you a question?
Focker: Absolutely. He loves history. Just soaks it up.
Henry: Can a girl poop from her vagina?
Focker: No, she cannot.
Dina: They're a little young for genealogy.
Focker: Yes. Just a little off topic there. Jack. Here you go!
Jack: Greg. You're the turkey carver now.
Focker: Thank you. I'm honored. All right. Let's carve the roast beast! Let's see. I think I'll start right side. Nice and tender.
Dina: So, Greg, how are you liking your new job?
Focker: Well, I'll tell you, Dina, it's a lot of responsibility on my plate. But that's kind of what I love about it. I mean, the opportunity to manage an entire unit, in a way, it's kind of like...
Jack: Why couldn't you just get him a warm-blooded animal?
Dina: Pressure.
Sam: Mom!
Wife: Honey. It's okay, it's okay, honey.
Focker: Hello. Hey, Kevin! It's Kevin, everybody. What? Okay.You're in Chicago?
