Quotes
-
Angelica : Hello, Uncle Stu. I brought these flowers for Aunt Miriam. Actually, she's not really just my aunt, she's my great-aunt once removed.
Grandpa Lou Pickles : That's good news. If she can be removed once...
-
Didi Pickles : Aunt Miriam? Oh, I haven't seen her since our wedding. She is such a sweet woman.
Grandpa Lou Pickles : Sweet? Ha! That woman's been the bane of my existence for 76 years!
Didi Pickles : Pop!
Grandpa Lou Pickles : Well, it's true! And I'll be hog-tied if I'll spend two minutes, let alone two days, in her company!
-
Stu Pickles : Aw, come on, Pop.
Grandpa Lou Pickles : [while carrying suitcases] If that woman's moving in, I'm moving out! I'll just get a room at the Motel Sticks out by the interstate!
Stu Pickles : Pop, that place is a dump!
Grandpa Lou Pickles : Well, they've got cable and they don't have Aunt Mim!
-
[Tommy and Chuckie run away after seeing Aunt Miriam]
Didi Pickles : Ooh, uh, Tommy's usually so good with strangers.
Grandpa Lou Pickles : Strangers is one thing. Family is what you gotta watch out for.
Aunt Miriam : Louis, is that you?
Grandpa Lou Pickles : It ain't the Pope.
-
Aunt Miriam : My favorite cousin! When we were kids, we were thick as thieves!
Grandpa Lou Pickles : As I recall it, the only thief around was you, Mim. Stealing all my toys.
Aunt Miriam : Stealing your toys? Oh, Louis, you're a card!
-
Grandpa Lou Pickles : [about Miriam] Another time, she took my favorite ball and threw it over the fence into the next yard! She's a monster, I tell you, a monster!
Stu Pickles : Oh, now, Pop.
Grandpa Lou Pickles : She is!
-
Aunt Miriam : Louis was always making mischief as a baby. Remember the time you snuck into my room and opened the window above my bed and I got sick? He was such a rascal.
Grandpa Lou Pickles : I did no such thing! That was you, Mim! You opened my window and got me sick!
-
Aunt Miriam : I don't understand it, Louis. They took one look at me and ran away. And I'm usually so good with kids.
Grandpa Lou Pickles : Yeah, right.
Aunt Miriam : It's true! When we were growing up, you adored me.
Grandpa Lou Pickles : Adored you? Mim, you stole my toys, you got me into trouble, and you were constantly threatening to pound the living daylights out of me! I was plump terrified of you!
-
Aunt Miriam : You know, Louis, the only reason I did those things to you was... Well, I was a little jealous.
Grandpa Lou Pickles : Jealous? Of me?
Aunt Miriam : Sure. Remember when you got stuck in that big hole in your mom's garden and those kids we used to play with, Bill and Jill, pulled you out?
Grandpa Lou Pickles : Yeah?
Aunt Miriam : Well, nobody would have done that for me. All the other kids liked you.
Grandpa Lou Pickles : But they respected you.
Aunt Miriam : No, they didn't. They were afraid of me. You were the leader. And, well, since I was older, I was a bit... jealous.
Grandpa Lou Pickles : Jealous? Gee, Mim, I.. I... I never would have known.
[Miriam hugs Lou and he hugs her back]
-
Grandpa Lou Pickles : You know, Mim, I gotta admit you always were my favorite cousin.
Aunt Miriam : Louis, I was your only cousin.
Grandpa Lou Pickles : True.
-
[after Miriam leaves]
Grandpa Lou Pickles : Well, it's always nice to make a new friend, even when you've known them for 76 years.
Stu Pickles : You know, I'm gonna miss her. She sure is a great aunt, huh, Fifi?
Didi Pickles : IT'S DIDI!
