• Max : It was all going to be so perfect, Lucy. Just like one big, happy family. Your boys... and my boys.

  Edgar Frog : Great! The Bloodsucking Brady Bunch!

• Max : Let this be a lesson to you, you silly little boy: Never ever invite a vampire into your house. And why? Because it renders you powerless.

  Sam Emerson : Did you know that?

  Edgar Frog : Of course. Everyone knows that. Why else would we be here?

• Max : [reaches for Lucy's hand while strangling Sam]  Don't fight, Lucy. It's so much better if you don't fight.

  Sam Emerson : Mom! Mom, no! Don't do it, Mom! Mom, don't do it!

  Lucy Emerson : Sam...

  Sam Emerson : Mom, no!

  [Lucy reluctantly decides to abandon her humanity by taking Max's hand] 

  Sam Emerson : Mom, no!

  Lucy Emerson : Sam!

  [Max attempts to bite her] 

• Sam Emerson : I bet you hate garlic, dontcha!

  Max : No, I like garlic! It's just a little much! It's raw garlic.

• Max : [Michael is about to walk out the front door and suddenly sees Max as he's just getting ready to knock]  Hey. How you doing? You must be Michael, right?

  Michael Emerson : And you must be Max.

  Max : Right. How are you?

  [they shake hands] 

  Max : Well, you're the man of the house and I'm not coming in until you invite me.

  Michael Emerson : You're invited.

  Max : [nods, smiles]  Thanks very much.

  [enters] 

• [Max, Lucy, Sam and his guests, the Frog Brothers are having their spaghetti and meatballs dinner] 

  Max : Lucy, this looks terrific.

  Lucy Emerson : Well, I hope it taste good.

  Max : Mmm! It's wonderful.

  Lucy Emerson : [sips a glass of wine]  Mmm! Boy! Somebody around here has bad breath.

  [Sam, Alan and Edgar all stare at Max, but Max turns to Edgar, in which the latter turns away. Lucy then find Nanook, the family dog, was the one with its bad breath] 

  Lucy Emerson : Nanook, would you quit breathing on me?

  Sam Emerson : Nanook, get upstairs. Go on.

  [Nanook leaves the dinner table. Edgar then signals Alan to hand the "grated Parmesan cheese" to Sam] 

  Sam Emerson : [to Max]  You want some Parmesan cheese on that?

  Max : Uh... yeah, Sam. Thank you very much.

  Lucy Emerson : Sam grated the cheese himself.

  Max : Ah.

  Lucy Emerson : My son.

  [Max sprinkles the "cheese" on his spaghetti; unbeknownst to Max yet, it's raw garlic] 

  Max : Another budding chef in the family.

• [Max changes into a vampire] 

  Max : I still want you, Lucy.

  [he flashes his tongue out and Sam and Lucy scream while the rest gasp] 

  Max : I haven't changed my mind about that.

• Alan Frog : But you passed the tests.

  Max : Don't ever invite a vampire into your home, you silly boy. It renders you powerless.

  Sam Emerson : [to Edgar]  Did you know that?

  Edgar Frog : [beat]  Of course. Everyone knows that.
