Top rated lines from this movie

I got news for you guys. We just passed the point of no return.
Fella, you have never lived until you've been chased around the palm tree by that guy's wife.
Do like she says or no life vest is gonna keep you from drowning because I'm gonna hold your head under till you stop wigglin'!
I've heard about you for years and I'm sick of the sound your name!
Funny thing how a fella can sleep with four big engines hollering in his ears, only wake up when they stop hollering. Imagine silence waking you up at home?
