Quotes
-
Margot : You know, Pauline told me she's very disappointed in you.
Claude : Why?
Margot : She thinks you laze about the house. Ingrid is always offering to help clean or cook. She made bracelets for all the guests. Even Malcolm puts up the tent. You just wait until everyone else does it for you.
Claude : That's not true.
Margot : It is true. I wish I taught you better manners...
Claude : I can try to make pop-overs. If I remember how...
Margot : Don't bother.
[She looks at him with grave disappointment]
Claude : Why are you looking at me like that?
Margot : I just see how much you've changed. Your body language. You used to be rounder and more graceful. You're so stiff now, so blasé.
Claude : What do you mean?
Margot : I can't explain it.
[She sees the tears in his eyes]
Margot : It's okay, though.
Claude : Uh-huh.
[He stands up and starts walking away]
Margot : You're still handsome!

Margot : You didn't notice anything different about Pauline?
Claude : No.
Margot : She's pregnant. She told me. She's keeping it a secret from Malcolm and even Ingrid, which I think is unforgivable. Now she's gonna have to marry him. What's she planning on doing, getting married and not drinking champagne? Then she's just gonna be lying. I guess she's afraid she'll miscarry. She probably will. I think on some level, she's ambivalent about the marriage. That's why she's not telling him.
Claude : Are you stoned, Mom?
Margot : Maybe a little.
Claude : I don't like it.

Malcolm : Paul apologizes for not coming. She's still getting the house ready.
Margot : I'm sorry it was such short notice.
Malcolm : I don't care. Paul's frantic, but I don't give a shit. Oh, and Ingrid wants me to tell you that she made us all bracelets.
Ingrid : No, I said we should wait.
Malcolm : I thought you asked me to tell them. Anyways, I got Knicks colours.
Ingrid : They're not Knicks colours!
Margot : It's beautiful, Ingrid.
Ingrid : Where's your dad and Josh?
Claude : They might come later.
Margot : Josh's spring break is next week, and then Jim teaches through Friday. Then he opens the house in Vermont on the weekend.
Malcolm : It means a lot to Pauline that you came.
Margot : Good.
Malcolm : [swerving to avoid a car] Holy Jesus! Watch it, dicksack! God! If you're wondering about the mustache...
Margot : No, I wasn't.
Malcolm : I had a full beard for a while, and then when I shaved it I left this part for last, you know, to see how it looked. And... it's meant to be funny.
