# Vegas Vacation

Vegas Vacation is a 1997 film about the Griswolds trip to Las Vegas, as Clark got an extra bonus for developing a food preservative.
    Directed by Stephen Kessler.

## Clark Griswold

* That's nothing, it's a...birthmark.
* Hard six coming out.
* It's my long-life food preservative. The FDA finally approved it!
* Eddie, This is great! They don't have any of these games at the Mirage.
* His name is not Papagiorgio. His name is Rusty Griswold and he's a C+ student!
* Don't think unnatural thoughts about your cousin, Rus.
* ...and he want's to enter that garden, with a knowledge, and a mulch...
* Oh, Keno! This is easy.
* My pen burst. (after hotel employee notices Clark's arm is blue from falling in the plane's toilet)

## Ellen Griswold

* (after an attempt to have sex with Clark in the bathroom goes horribly wrong) I'll never fly again.
* Clark, this is a family trip. Can you try to stay with the family.
* Could be worse...you could be pregnant again.
* You find the Clark Griswold that I married and you tell him that I'm at the Mirage!
* I love what you've done with the kitchenette.
* Well, I don't know what you would do with your horses, because, Clark likes to use the garage for the cars and the lawn mower.
* I've got news for you Clark. I haven't said yes, yet.

## Rusty Griswold

* Couldn't you just roll us around on the bed again.
* I put a dollar in I won a car, I put a dollar in I won a car, I put a dollar in I won a car, I put a dollar in I won a car.
* Who would have thought my sister had the legs of a thoroughbred. Am I right?
* So I says to him, I said, "Get your own monkey!"
* It's expensive having an entourage.
* Security: "No corrective lenses tonight Mr Papagiorgio?" Rusty: "No sir, I do not require them."
* Holy crap, Wayne Newton's hittin' on mom!

## Cousin Eddie

* Clark, have you ever tried to swim with the dolphins?
* [to Wayne Newton] Do you need a bodyguard? I'd die for you!
* Aw, she's got her mother's looks and her daddy's sense of balance.
* My garden's spittin' out 50-lb tomatoes.
* Hey, kids. Round-up time!
* Oh, yeah. That's from when I sold my kidney. I figured with all the advancements in modern science, I'd better sell it while someone still wanted to buy it. Smartest thing I ever did, Clark.
* Ahh Uban Coffee you know you can sprinkle that stuff on anything, ice cream, mashed potatoes or just eat it straight out of the can for a quick pick me up.
* Don't worry, he's with me.
* It's a bust, Las Vegas fun police, hand over your chips. ha ha ha ha
* Whoa man it is a blazer out there. You're lucky you got air conditioning in here {Casino} - like mother nature intended.
* I gotta warn ya Clark – they don’t play the same games that they do at them regular casinos

## Cousin Vicki

* Lord is my witness, I hate this heat! If it isn't gluing your butt to the truck seat it's making you sweat like a farm animal!
* In this world, you’re either up on the stage in the spotlight, or down in the pit serving drinks
* Honey, these boys ain't much to talk to, but, if you want a night away from your cat... they're more than fine.

## Other

* Jilly - That's it, kid. Now all we have to do is teach you how to dress.
* Roy - What a great audience.

## Dialogue

    Clark: Eddie, did anyone ever tell you, you're bad luck.
    Eddie: You know, those were my mother's dying words. Course, when you're covered in third degree burns and your leg's caught in a bear trap, you're bound to say weird things.
    Ellen: Clark. Are you feeling lucky tonight, Sparky?
    Clark: Not right now, honey. They're teaching me baccarat.
    Clark: Here, make the seats good.
    [begins pouring coins into the Maitre d's hand]
    Maitre d' : No...gratuity...necessary, sir. Right this way.
    Jilly: Kid, you made me a lot of money tonight. Hey, you like gettin' massages?
    Rusty: By who?
    Jilly: [sarcastically] By who...by me. Meet me in the spa tomorrow at 10 o'clock.
    Clark: You need any help with the grill, Eddie?
    Eddie: No thanks, Clark. Don't have one. [throws chicken onto a rock] I'll get the tongs
    Audrey: OK, what happened to you last night?
    Rusty: [giggles]
    [Audrey and Rusty sit down to breakfast]
    Audrey: Coffee
    Rusty: Me, too.
    Ellen: Make it three.
    Clark: [to waitress] Four coffees it is.
    Clark: Kids!
    Audrey: Daddy, don't shout.
    Clark: What do you say we each have an 'alone day', where each of us can go out and explore the city of Las Vegas in their own way.
    Ellen: Clark, I don't think that's such a good...
    Rusty: Thanks
    Audrey: See, ya.
    Clark: Don't worry, honey. You're gonna love it. See ya.
    Security: Have you seen a guy named Nick Papagiorgio?
    Clark: Yes, he took my wallet. He's over there.
    [at Club Areola]
    Security: Your usual table, Mr. Papagiorgio?
    Rusty: Not today, Jimmy.
    Clark: You're in deep trouble, my friend.
    Ellen: Clark. Are we lost?
    Rusty: Yeah, dad. What block are we on?
    Clark: Very funny, Rus.
    Rusty: I wanna gamble.
    Clark: Russell. I never want to hear those words come out of your mouth again. Gambling is a very serious business.
