quote:

Chet: Look around you, Roman, for God's sakes, this is beautiful country. Take a good look.

Roman: I'll tell you what I see, if you want to know.

Chet: Yeah, I'm curious.

Roman: I see the underdeveloped resources of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, a consortium exploiting over a billion dollars in forest products. I see a paper mill and a mining operation, a green belt between lakeside condos and a waste management facility focusing on the newest rage in waste: Medical refuse. Infected bandages, body parts, IV tubing, syringes, fluid, blood, radioactive waste, all safely contained, sunken in the lake and sealed for centuries. I ask you, what do you see?

Chet: I just see... see trees.


My favorite scene in the movie

"If I can get a dessert down him, think you can throw in a couple of Paul Bunyan hats for the kids?"

Hard to believe that was Annette B's first role.

“Why does Chet’s kids look at him like he’s Zeus and my kids look at me like I’m a rack of yard tools at Sears”


Also,

I bought a shirt a few years back just like the one they get from Paul Bunyan’s. It shrunk after the first wash so I usually wear it as a workout or a yard work type shirt.

Randomly I’ll get someone who recognizes what it’s from.

I also like to use the “ah, he’s going” like Roman says right before he yanks Chet off the dock.

"It touched me!"

Chet: He's the oldest man in Canada, kids. Isn't that something?
Roman: Well, personally, I'd rather see a 46-inch bust singing "Burnin' Love."

Not a line but one of my favorite scenes is when Chet runs Suck My Wake up on the boat ramp and Roman is laughing at him giving him the ok sign. I lose it every time I watch that scene.
Roman Craig is one of my all time favorite characters.

Roman: "There's quite a hairdo you got going there, Reg. You don't have a neo skunk thing or..."

Chet: "Roman, what are you doing?"

Roman: "Well, he's got the hair."

I remember seeing this movie at the theater. It is defiantly a classic. For years afterwards, anytime there was a pizza around, I'd ask if it was a goat cheese pizza and hot dogs were always lips and assholes.

Never fails, I say this anytime someone or even myself rents a pontoon boat in Florida.

Every time.

Fantastic movie.

I used to use this one all the time too, until I actually did get chased off the apalachee river by not one, but two black bears. It's no longer a joke to me. It's now PTSD.
