Gordon Szalinski : You are dead meat, mister!
Wayne Szalinski : Gordon, you're three-quarters of an inch tall, now's not the time.
-
Diane Szalinski : If they don't un-shrink us they will be in so much trouble!
Gordon Szalinski : Oh yeah? What are you going to do about it, Thumbelina?
-
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.
-
Gordon Szalinski : We have critical mass!
-
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 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!
