Quotes 

• Joe Paxton : [after Margaret's plane takes off]  What's wrong?

  Grace Paxton : Margaret's on that plane.

  Grandma Annie : And he didn't get to tell her!

  Joe Paxton : Tell her what?

  Grace Paxton : That he loves her.

  Grandma Annie : So she could tell him that she loves him too.

  Joe Paxton : Yeah but how does he...

  Grace Paxton : If she didn't love him, she wouldn't have left.

  Grandma Annie : Of course not.

  Joe Paxton : Am I the only one not getting this?

  Grace Paxton : Oh, Joe!

• Andrew Paxton : [referring to the story about how he proposed to Margaret]  You know what? Actually, Margaret loves telling this story, so I'm just gonna let her go ahead and do that. We should just sit and rapture.

  Margaret Tate : Wow, okay... wow, where to begin... the story... Well, um, wow... Okay, well, um, Andrew and I... Andrew and I were about to celebrate our first anniversary together and I knew that he'd been itching to ask me to marry him and he was scared, like a little tiny bird. So, I started leaving him little hints here and there because I knew he wouldn't have the guts to ask...

  Andrew Paxton : That's not exactly how it happened.

  Margaret Tate : No?

  Andrew Paxton : No, no, I mean I picked up on all of her little hints... this woman is about as subtle as a gun. Yeah, no what I was worried about was that she might find this little box...

  Margaret Tate : Oh, the decoupage box that he made, where he'd taken the time to cut out twenty little pictures of himself, just pasted all over the box. So beautiful! I opened that beautiful little decoupage and out fluttered these tiny little hand cut heart confettis and once they cleared, I looked down and I saw the most beautiful, big...

  Andrew Paxton : ...fat nothing! No ring.

  Grandma Annie : No ring?

  Grace Paxton : What?

  Andrew Paxton : No, but inside that box, underneath all that crap, a handwritten note with the address to a hotel, date and time. Real Humphrey Bogart type stuff. Masculine. Naturally, Margaret, she thought...

  Margaret Tate : I thought he was seeing someone else... so it was a terrible time for me, but I went to that hotel anyway, I went there and I pounded on the door. But the door was already unlocked. As I swung open that door, there he was...

  Andrew Paxton : Standing.

  Margaret Tate : Kneeling.

  Andrew Paxton : Like a man.

  Margaret Tate : On a bed of rosebuds, in a tuxedo. Your son. Your son... and he was choking back soft, soft sobs. And when he held back the tears and finally caught his breath, he said to me...

  Andrew Paxton : 'Margaret, will you marry me?' and she said 'yep', the end!

• Medivac Pilot : Gammy,We're not authorize to take you to the airport.

  Grandma Annie : [leans up]  Larry Faris, don't make me call your mother!

• Grandma Annie : [upon being introduced to Margaret]  Do you prefer Margaret or "Satan's Mistress"?

• Grandma Annie : [to Margaret, when adjusting the wedding dress]  Where are your breasts, dear?

• Grandma Annie : [taking a knitted blanket out of the cabinet]  If you get chilly tonight use this. It has special powers.

  Margaret Tate : [takes blanket]  Oh. What kind of special powers?

  Grandma Annie : [smiling]  I call it the baby maker.

  Margaret Tate : Okay.

  [to Andrew] 

  Margaret Tate : Better be super careful with this.

• Grandma Annie : I want you to have it.

  Margaret Tate : I can't. Can't take this.

  Grandma Annie : I don't want to hear it. Grandmothers love to give their stuff to their grandchildren. It makes us feel like we'll still be part of your lives even after we're gone. Take it.

• Grandma Annie : [to the MedEvac pilot when he refuses to take her to the airport]  Don't make me call your mother!

• Grandma Annie : [Introducing the new family dog to Margaret]  Don't let him out. The eagles will snatch him.

• Grandma Annie : Well, now, do you prefer being called Margaret or Satan's mistress? We've heard it both ways. Actually, we've heard it lots of ways.

  Grace Paxton : She's kidding.

• Grandma Annie : You see the shoes that broad is wearing?

• Grandma Annie : There he is!

  Grace Paxton : Andrew!

  Andrew Paxton : Hi!

  Grace Paxton : Oh! It's so good to see you!

  Grandma Annie : You're suffocating him, Grace.

  [to Andrew] 

  Grandma Annie : Come here.

  Andrew Paxton : Ah, Gammy. How are you doing?

  [to Grace] 

  Andrew Paxton : Where's Dad?

  Grace Paxton : Oh, you know your father. He's always working.

  Grandma Annie : Never mind about him. Where's your girl?

  Andrew Paxton : Uh, she's... right there. There she is.

  Grandma Annie : I guess the word "girl" is inappropriate.

  Grace Paxton : Annie.

  Margaret Tate : Hi!

  Grace Paxton : Hello.

  Andrew Paxton : Margaret, this is my mom.

  Margaret Tate : Oh, hello.

  Andrew Paxton : Yeah, great. This is my gammy, Annie.

  Margaret Tate : Pleasure.

• Grandma Annie : Look at this. Is that cute or what?

  Grace Paxton : I know.

  Andrew Paxton : Morning, guys. Have you seen... daah.

  Grace Paxton : She's playing with Kevin. We thought she didn't like him.

  Grandma Annie : Will you go get her, Andy? We have a whole day planned for her, and she needs to get ready.

  Grace Paxton : Yeah. Tell her we have a big surprise for her.

• Grace Paxton : I've never seen him so... out there. I mean...

  Grandma Annie : No, he really got down.

  Grace Paxton : He was wonderful. Oh, no! Andrew! Andrew, honey, is everything OK?

  Margaret Tate : What... What's... what's he doing?

  Grandma Annie : Uh... Something's up. It's best to leave him alone. Come on, honey.
