Phillip: Cut it out! Cut it out right now or I swear I’m going to pull over and knock your heads together. . . . I’ll dump the bodies in the mall parking lot and drive to Mexico. I’ll learn how to weave mats and sell them on the beach at Cozumel. . . . I’ll change my name to Raoul, and no one will know I was ever related to a bunch of fools.

Seth: Does he always talk like that?

Cam: Yeah, mostly. Sometimes he’s going to be Pierre and live in a garret in Paris, but it’s the same thing.
