Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Susan : Well, this is it. We're officially on holiday.

  Nick : [jumps on the sofa]  Great to finally have the chance to relax and unwind for a change.

  Ben : For a change? You? You're always on holiday. A holiday for you would be getting a job. I'm surprised the travel agents don't print brochures of you. I'm surprised they don't call you Nick Holiday.

  Nick : All right, father. You've made your point.

• Ben : In all the saints, Spanish and English, why have you taken a photograph of your bottom?

  Nick : Oh, I've never seen it before. At least not from that angle.

• Nick : Right, right. They've got washing powder here, right, just like we have; only it's called "Fairy"!

  [laughs] 

  Nick : Those crazy guys!

  Susan : Nick, we have Fairy in England.

  Nick : No, we don't.

  Ben : Yes, we do!

  Nick : We don't!

  Susan : Why would we lie to you about something like that?

  Nick : I don't know. For attention?

• Susan : [Nick, Susan and Ben go out to dinner, Nick's "treat"]  What happened to all the money you had?

  Nick : Oh, I bought a hat.

  Ben : What!

  Nick : A big hat.

  Susan : Well, where is it?

  Nick : It blew off.
