Shirley : [Gives a thumbs up] Harv, we're on a roll.

Julie Thompson : [Making a delivery] Wait for us!
Eddie Popko : I told you twinheads to stay in the truck.
Sarah Thompson : We want to help.
Eddie Popko : Well, you can't help. You're not a professional. It took me two weeks of training to earn this shoulder patch.
Julie Thompson : What do you do?
Eddie Popko : Well, I... I give the customers their package, and they sign for it.
Julie Thompson : You got a patch for that?
Crotchety Man : [Coming outside] Hey, what do you want? Listen, I'm trying to take a nap.

Sarah Thompson : Yeah it is!
Julie Thompson : You're not taking us to Grandma's!
Eddie Popko : I'm not?
Sarah Thompson : You're taking us home!
Eddie Popko : OK, well, you kids may as well learn this now. Grownups will say anything to get kids to cooperate.
Sarah Thompson : You take us to Grandma's right now. This is no joke!
Eddie Popko : Well, I told your mom that I'm bringing you home, and that's no joke.
[Stops the truck]
Eddie Popko : OK, now I want you kids to go back there and get your suitcases and I'll meet you around the back.

Eddie Popko : [Ignoring the insult] Oh, OK. Well, just checking.
-
Eddie Popko : Well you got to admit, kids, that was one hell of a ride.
Sarah Thompson , Julie Thompson : [Together] Ummmm...
Eddie Popko : Oh, right, right the H-word. OK. Well, come on down for me. You two scared me half to death.

Sarah Thompson : Let's go, Julie!
Sarah Thompson : [Outside on their bikes] Grandma's, here we come!
Julie Thompson : On your mark, get set, we're out of here!
[Pedals]
Julie Thompson : [the twins go in different directions] See you later.
Sarah Thompson : [Stops pedaling] Where you going?
Julie Thompson : Grandma lives this way!
Sarah Thompson : No, Grandma lives this way!
Julie Thompson : You'll be sorry!
Sarah Thompson : No, you'll be sorry!
Julie Thompson : No, you'll be sorry!
Sarah Thompson : [Begins to pedal away] Okay, big shot, I'll call you from Grandma's!
Julie Thompson : [Struggles to turn around] Wait! Wait, Sarah wait! Wait, Sarah! Wait, Sarah! Wait!
Sarah Thompson : Maybe next time you'll listen! So, come on, Julie!
[They pedal on, then shop when a car passes them]
Sarah Thompson : Uh-oh.
Julie Thompson : We're not allowed to cross the street.
Sarah Thompson : That's why I said "Uh-oh!"
[Turns to their left]
Sarah Thompson : We're cruising to Grandma's!
Julie Thompson : [Coming to a hill] I hate going uphill.
Sarah Thompson : [Sarah pedals easily, while Julie struggles] Keep pedaling, don't give up.
Julie Thompson : Oh, no!
Julie Thompson : Are we there yet?
Sarah Thompson : I don't think so. That's our next-door neighbor. Hi, Mr. Johnson!
Julie Thompson : [Stops in front of their home, disappointed] We're back where we started.
Sarah Thompson : This is not working.
Julie Thompson : [a bus approaches] That is very lucky.
Sarah Thompson : Let's go!
[They run for the bus]
Sarah Thompson : Don't let the driver see you. Go in the back door.
[They sneak in the back]
Sarah Thompson : Try to look really small
Julie Thompson : I am really small.
[They enter inside the bus, it takes off]

Old Woman on Bus : Oh, I'm so sorry. Just practicing; you never know when they may need a new weathergirl.
Sarah Thompson : Does this bus go to Grandma's?
Old Woman on Bus : I don't know, where does Grandma live?
Sarah Thompson : She lives in Edgemont.
Old Woman on Bus : Oh, girls. That's three hours from here. This bus goes downtown, then it goes uptown, and then it goes back downtown. Get the idea?
Sarah Thompson : [to Julie] We're on the wrong bus.
[Julie nods in agreement]
Old Woman on Bus : [the bus comes to a stop] Hope you get to Grandma's. Merry Christmas, girls.
Sarah Thompson : Merry Christmas, lady.
Julie Thompson : A very Merry Christmas, lady.

Julie Thompson : No, you got a problem.
Sarah Thompson : No, you got a problem.

Sarah Thompson : Don't start that again.
Julie Thompson : You started it.

Shirley : Our parole officer fixed us up.
Harvey 'Harv' : [Turns the page] Here's a good one of you, Shirley. I look okay.
Shirley : Yeah, those were taken after our second date.
Harvey 'Harv' : Remember we went dancing and then we tried to knock over that liquor store?
Sarah Thompson : You tried to knock a store over?
Harvey 'Harv' : No, we didn't try to 'knock it over' knock it over. We were... holding it up.
Julie Thompson : Why? Was it falling down?
Harvey 'Harv' : [Trying to think] Not 'holding it up' holding it up...
Shirley : OK, let's give the think tank a rest. Time to grab some shuteye, into bed, you two.
Harvey 'Harv' : OK, bedtime.

Julie Thompson : Goodnight, Harv.
Sarah Thompson : Goodnight, Shirley.
Shirley : Goodnight, girls.
Harvey 'Harv' : Sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite.
Shirley : [Somewhat impressed] That was sweet, Harv.
Harvey 'Harv' : My dad always used to say that. Of course, we really did have bedbugs, so it's not like he was trying to be sweet.
Shirley : Well, we got work to do.
[Harvey and Shirley walk away from the twins]
Sarah Thompson : No bedtime story?
Julie Thompson : What do you expect? We're sleeping on a table.

Sarah Thompson : [Muffled up] You promise to take us to Grandma's?
Eddie Popko : Yeah, yeah, whatever. Well look at you two slobs there, did you get any of that sandwich in your mouth?
[Wipes Sarah's mouth]
Julie Thompson : How come you don't like kids?
Eddie Popko : Well, you want to know why? I'll tell you why.
[Wipes Julie's mouth]
Eddie Popko : Because you're little. You don't know nothing, you haven't done nothing, and you got nothing to say.
Julie Thompson : Uh-huh!
Sarah Thompson : Uh-huh!
Eddie Popko : Okay, smart guys. If you could do anything in the world, what would you do?
Sarah Thompson : I would finger-paint.
Julie Thompson : That is very fun.
Eddie Popko : Okay, well, I think I just made my point. All right, coats on. Let's ride.
Julie Thompson : Waitress! He forgot to pay the bill!

[while reading How the Grinch Stole Christmas]
Julie Thompson : Is the Grinch going to keep the Christmas presents?
Sarah Thompson : Nah, we saw this on TV. He gives the presents back at the end.
Rhonda Thompson : Well Sarah, I guess you pretty much took the surprise out of that surprise ending.
[Turns to the very end of the page]
Rhonda Thompson : Oh, but wait, there is a surprise ending.
[Reading out]
Rhonda Thompson : "Sarah and Julie go to bed on time tonight." It says that right here.

Rhonda Thompson : Then you're just gonna have to trust me on this. Let's go, up you go. Time for bed.
-
Waitress : OK, you ready to order?
Sarah Thompson : I'll have peanut butter and jelly. Peanut butter on top, smooth but not crunchy, and cut off all the crust, please
Julie Thompson : I'll have the same, but extra jelly, please.
Eddie Popko : Yeah, I'll take the same thing. You can leave my crust on please.
Waitress : Gotcha.

Rhonda Thompson : This just never stops. It's "Girls, eat your dinner. Girls, get in the bath, get out of the bath. Girls, go to sleep. I mean it, girls, go to sleep."
[the twins listen]
Rhonda Thompson : Every time I turn around, Sarah and Julie are into some kind of trouble.
Stacey : You know, you need a vacation.
Rhonda Thompson : [Breaking down in tears] I would love a vacation. Sometimes, the girls can be such a handful. All I want for Christmas is just a couple of days by myself. No girls, no sludgees, no nothing.
Sarah Thompson : Julie, come here.
[the twins walk into the living room]
Stacey : You'll be OK.
Julie Thompson : We made Mommy cry.
Sarah Thompson : That's because we're a handful.
Rhonda Thompson : Bye, girls. I'm going to work. Please stay out of trouble, at least until I get back. Here are my keys, Stace, in case they need more toys.
Stacey : OK, bye, Rhonda.
Sarah Thompson : Bye, Mommy.
Stacey : I got to feed the baby, okay?
[Stacey walks back into the kitchen]
Julie Thompson : Mommy wants a vacation from us.
Sarah Thompson : We could go to Grandma Mimi's house for Christmas.
Julie Thompson : Good idea, let's do it.

Sarah Thompson : Mister!
[Eddie looks back in shock]
Sarah Thompson : I got to go to the bathroom!
[He pulls over to the right, the twins run towards him]
Eddie Popko : Where the hell did you come from?
Julie Thompson , Sarah Thompson : [Together] Ummm...
Julie Thompson : You said the H-word.

Sarah Thompson : I got to go to the bathroom, and this is no joke!
Eddie Popko : Right.

Sarah Thompson : Yippee yi yo Kayay... This is NOT working!
Eddie Popko : Just hold on, I'll try and get you to a bathroom as soon as I can.
[Starts the truck and gets back on the road]
