Gregory Alan 'Grover' Beindorf : Remember when you said I should lock my parents in the closet?
Matt Finley : Yeah...
Gregory Alan 'Grover' Beindorf : Well, I did! Only I didn't lock them in the closet, I locked them in the basement. Only, I didn't actually lock them in, I nailed the door shut. And I told them I wasn't letting them out until they worked out their problems.
Matt Finley : You're kidding right?

Gregory Alan 'Grover' Beindorf : Your parents are here because you guys said they needed help. Now you could care less, you're too busy playing football or watching TV or having some party. I have news for you, this was my idea, and it's not a game, and it's not a party, and I'm not doing it to impress anybody. Now you got that, Matt? Or are you too busy kissing up to T.J.?
T.J. Krupp : [grabs Grover] What's wrong with that?
Gregory Alan 'Grover' Beindorf : Go ahead... beat me up.

Janet Beindorf : [Janet sees Cosmo chewing a pillow on the couch] Grover? Grover? Grover?
Grover : Yeah, mom?
Janet Beindorf : Can I talk to you upstairs please? Grover, who's dog is that?
Grover : Matt's
Janet Beindorf : This has gotten out of hand. And it's very tense down here especially between your father and Mr. Krupp.
Grover : So what. Tell them to start getting along. They're adults.
Janet Beindorf : You know how your father gets. He's not gonna back down, especially when his pride is hurt. Honey, please, just let us out.
Grover : I can't do that.
Janet Beindorf : Well, at least give us some food. Something's gotta bend here. I know these people are your hostages, but they're also guests in our home, and we don't treat guests this way. So why don't you make a meatloaf. There's some turkey in the fridge. You can use Aunt Mary's recipe...
Grover : Recipe... yeah, I know Mom. I've made meatloaf and lasagna, pot roast. You don't have to leave notes for me, or hide them in my lunch, or laminate lists for me. I'm not a kid anymore.
Janet Beindorf : I know.

Chief Rocco : I didn't know there was one.
Stacy Beindorf : Yeah it's really bad... especially for old people.
