Memorable Quotes

Penny: "'Tis true, Max hath scammed us all. Remember when he buttered my yoga mat... and my welcome mat... and my neighbor Matt?"
Brad: "Or when he hacked my Ancestry account and convinced me that I was the third Williams sister."

Alex (after almost falling victim to a booby-trapped "Happy Muffin Month" basket left by Max): "I should've known! Muffin month isn't until May!"
Penny: "And it isn't real!"

Alex: "You guys realize that we are just prawns in his game? Little shrimp, swimming around waiting to be eaten by a big shark named Max!"

Alex (after cutting her own hair so Max won't prank her): "Great prank, OK? You're a regular Ashton Kutcher. What're you gonna do next, waste eight of Demi Moore's remaining good years?"

Max: "My revenge will be served like the tennis serve of a 7th grade girl. Slow, out of bounds and I will pull balls out of my skirt."

Dave: Al, look at yourself! This is getting ridiculous, you don't have to join Max. We can prank him. Beat him at his own game. We'll give him a shot of pre-vengeance with a dose of pre-taliation and finish him off with a load of pre-comeuppance."

Dave (to Alex after hurting her leg in a prank gone wrong): "You know, I've always been secretly turned on by a pint-sized girl with a limp. When Kerri Strug stuck that landing, I stuck myself in my bedroom for quite some time."

Dave: "Perfect. Pranking Max outside of Pete's will give us a real element of surprise. I could not have done this without you."
Alex: "I'm not as dumb as I am!"

Dave: "You're about to witness some real genius. Specifically, the popcorn prank from Real Genius."
Brad: "Doesn't take a real genius to know that is a prank I am not familiar with."

Jane (after Max blows up his limo): "So you knowingly blew up your one and only source of income for a prank."
Max: "No Jane, I am going to collect such the big daddy sweet insurance check once... Dammit, I don't have insurance."

Alex: "You didn't get me! I didn't get pranked! Ha ha haaa!
Max: "Oh yeah? You didn't get pranked? You gave yourself a sideways Kate Gosselin, bazooka-ed yourself through a coffee table, and Gillooly-ed your leg. I think you got pranked, trick!"

Brad: "My sabbradical is officially over, and I'm ready to jump back into the world of high finance. Call me Melanie Griffith, because I'm gonna be working, girl."

Brad (trying to salvage a bad job interview): "Good lookin' family you got there. Handsome son."

Penny: "So Brad got a job, that's great!"
Jane: "Great? Really? What else is great? Syphilis? Men with bangs? Waking up with a dead dog in your damn bed?"
