A yearly holiday tradition, Christmas Vacation never fails to crack us up. Betting you all have your favorite moments too, ours are Chevy in the attic, the family dinners and Cousin Eddie. If you cant quote at least a half dozen lines from this holiday classic, don't talk to me in December!
The height of Chevy Chase's career and sizzling with a cast of old pros and quick upstarts, laughs abound.
Eddie: You surprised? Clark: Surprised, Eddie? If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn't be more surprised than I am right now.
Aunt Bethany: [Hearing a squeak] What's that sound? You hear it? It's a funny squeaky sound. Uncle Lewis: You couldn't hear a dump truck driving through a nitroglycerin plant.
Ellen: What are you looking at?
Clark: Oh, the silent majesty of a winter's morn... the clean, cool chill of the holiday air... an asshole in his bathrobe, emptying a chemical toilet into my sewer...
[Eddie, in the driveway, is draining the RV's toilet]
Eddie: Shitter was full.
Clark: Ah, yeah. You checked our shitters, honey?
Clark: Since this is Aunt Bethany's 80th Christmas, I think she should lead us in the saying of Grace.
Aunt Bethany: [turns to Lewis] What, dear?
Nora Griswold: Grace!
Aunt Bethany: Grace? She passed away thirty years ago.
Uncle Lewis: They want you to say Grace.
[Bethany shakes her head in confusion]
Uncle Lewis: The BLESSING!
Clark: Can I refill your eggnog for you? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?
Frances: [looking at Ruby Sue surprised] Oh my gosh, her eyes aren't crossed anymore.
Eddie: That somethin' ain't it? She falls down a well, her eyes go crossed. She gets kicked by a mule. They go back to normal. I don't know.
We just watched it last week, can't wait to watch it again.
Merry Christmas, she's a beaut Clark, and she gets an A.
