Buck: Yeah?
Tia: Got a minute?
Buck: I got lots of minutes.

Buck: You can go crazy after I leave. Until then, I'm not letting you out.
Tia: You just can't find any way to be cool can you?
Buck: You mean easy? No.
Tia: I mean decent!
Buck: You mean blind!
Tia: Who are you trying to score points with? My parents? How many times have they had you over here since we moved? Try none until they went up Shit Creek and got stuck!

Uncle Buck: We've done the battle of the wills. The deck's stacked in my favor. You're just going to lose again.
