• JoJo Holcomb : Kenny doesn't have to work: his grandmother left him *twelve hundred* dollars!

  Bob Holcomb : [touch of sarcasm]  Twelve hundred dollars? With that kinda' dough and a credit card, you got it made.

• Bob Holcomb : You speak excellent English for a Swede.

  Karin Granstedt : Thank you! And you speak excellent English for an American.

  Bob Holcomb : [slight pause]  Touché.

• [Upon seeing Erik's Volkswagen] 

  Bob Holcomb : Maybe we had better put the car in our luggage.

• JoJo Holcomb : [Jojo and her father, Mr. Holcomb jump up on a coffee table amidst all the partiers]  Hey, gang, this is my daddy!

  Bob Holcomb : [nobody pays them the slightest attention; Bob looks a little crestfallen]  I guess they don't want any truck with Earth people.

• JoJo Holcomb : [looking admiringly at Kenny Klinger]  Oh, isn't he something else?

  Bob Holcomb : [obviously not impressed with him]  You could say that, yes...

• Bob Holcomb : Where's Jojo?

  Eloise : She's out with Kenny.

  Bob Holcomb : Oh, they're probably out at another drive-in movie. How wrong can you go on a motor scooter?

  Eloise : They didn't go to a movie. He took her to some place called "The Pink Kitten."

  Bob Holcomb : [slightly taken aback]  "The Pink Kitten"? You mean that place where the girls take off their... You let Kenny take her to a strip joint?

  Eloise : Well, how did I know? I thought it was a pet store and they were gonna' look at pussycats.

  Bob Holcomb : Some "pussycats"!

• Bob Holcomb : When you're raising a daughter without the help of a mother, you feel twice as responsible. I've been doing it since she was five.

  Karin Granstedt : She told me.

  Bob Holcomb : I've seen her through dolls, roller skates... and those braces on her teeth. For about 4 years, she looked like she'd swallowed a TV antenna.

• Karin Granstedt : I thought you liked Erik?

  Bob Holcomb : Not when he talks like he's buying an automobile and he's not gonna' buy one unless he "tries it out."

  Karin Granstedt : Bob, the world is full of Eriks!

  Bob Holcomb : Yeah? Well, nobody's gonna' chalk up any mileage on JoJo, without getting a driver's license first!

• Bob Holcomb : So this is Hotel Idyllan?

  Karin Granstedt : No, this is a summer resort for young people. I want you to see how innocent and wholesome everything is.

  [just then a hot babe in a skimpy bikini walks by them, causing Bob to turn his head and watch] 

  Bob Holcomb : Okay, it's a wonderful place. So let's get on to Hotel Idyllan.

  Karin Granstedt : No, after lunch. I want you to see how our young people enjoy sports. The accent here is on athletics.

  [Bob watches as a young man and woman in bathing suits run by, hug and kiss, then run on] 

  Bob Holcomb : What do they specialize in here? Deep breathing? Think of all the years I wasted on golf!

  Bob Holcomb : [another hot young couple in bathing suits frolicks past them]  What was that? The 100-yard dash, or the running broad jump?

• Hotel manager : Mr. Holcomb, if you don't stop this nonsense, I'm going to have to call the police!

  Bob Holcomb : "Nonsense"? My daughter's in one of these rooms with a man!

  Hotel manager : You're lucky. Mine just sits in her room and cries.
