Quotes 

• Priest : Dearly beloved, we are gathered here to...

  Lucy : I object.

  Saul : Oh, geez.

  Priest : I didn't get to that part yet.

  Jack : I would have to object too.

  Priest : What about you?

  Peter : I'm thinking!

• Jack : You suck!

  Peter : I suck, or the outfit sucks?

  Jack : It's a toss-up.

• Ashley Bacon : Peter Callaghan is engaged to me. I object to this wedding!

  Priest : Get in line.

  Ashley's Husband : And I object to your objection.

  Mary : Who's that?

  Peter : Ashley's husband.

  Midge : You proposed to a married woman?

  Peter : Yes. And I'm in a coma when my brother makes a play for my... sort of my fiancée.

• Peter : I'm making a clean start with Lucy. She is... she is... she... what is she? She's...

  Jack : I'd say that she gets under your skin as soon as you meet her. She drives you so nuts you don't know whether to hug her or, or just really arm wrestle her. She would go all the way to Europe just to get a stamp in her passport. I don't know if that amounts to insanity, or just being really, really... likable.

  Peter : No, that's not it.

  Peter : [not noticing Jack's look of annoyance at his last comment]  But she's gotta be really special. She's gotta be. And I can spend the rest of my life finding out why.

• Lucy : You give up your seat every day in the train.

  Peter : Well... But that's not heroic.

  Lucy : It is to the person who sits in it.

• Lucy : Oh, and I'm *very* sorry about your carpet.

  Peter : What about my carpet?

• Peter : Remember the squirrels?

  Jack : Don't even say it.

  Peter : First I knocked them out of their nest with a rock.

  Jack : Peter!

  Peter : Then I saved them.

• Saul : I couldn't love you any more if you were my own son. But the fact of the matter is, you're... well you're a putz.

  Peter : Is there a point to this?

• Peter : You know, you do remind me of someone. It's probably you.

• Peter : It took a coma to wake me up.

• Orderly : Excuse me. Got some Jello for you today.

  Peter : Do I like Jello?

  Midge : Yum.

  Ox : Mmm.

• Peter : Ashley!

  Ashley Bacon : [Peter nodding affirmatively to her question]  Scumbag! You're engaged? May I remind you that you proposed to me?

  Peter : You said no. We broke up.

  Ashley Bacon : No, no. I was confused, we stepped back.

  Peter : You moved to Portugal.

  Ashley Bacon : Yes, well, I didn't think you were going to run out and marry the first bimbo you came across.

  Peter : Lucy's not a bimbo.

  Ashley Bacon : Lucy? Lucy who?

  Peter : I don't remember. I was in a coma. I have amnesia.

  Ashley Bacon : Amnesia. Oh that's rich. All right, fine! I want my stuff back.

  Peter : Fine. Then I want my stuff back.

  Ashley Bacon : What stuff?

  Peter : Your nose.

  Ashley Bacon : [shocked]  You can't take my nose back!

  Peter : I paid for it.

  Ashley Bacon : [grabbing her breasts]  Well then here! You paid for these too!

  Peter : Keep 'em. I'm a changed man, Ashley.

  Ashley Bacon : Go ahead. Go ahead and marry her you one-balled bastard.
