You're Much More Likable These Days
Kate: "You're much more likable these days."
Richard: "So are you."
In a moment of reflection, both Kate and Richard realize that they get along much better now than they did when they were married. Is reconciliation in the cards for these divorcees?
That Rock Is Our Pension
Richard: "I've got big problems at the office. The new owners have stripped us of any value and run us into the ground. It's all gone!"
…
Kate: "Okay, what do we know about these guys? Lexon, owned by Vincent Kruger, currently resides in Paris."
Richard: "How's your French?"
Kate: "No, no, no, no, no, no"
…
Kate: "Guess who's getting married?"
Richard: "Vincent Kruger and Madeline Fontane"
Kate: "Look at her neck! That rock is our pension. We should nick it!"
A strange chain of events sends the former spouses on a wild caper. Richard and Kate's pension was in his company, Lexon, who was drove into the ground by CEO Vincent Kruger. For retribution, Richard and Kate plan to steal Vincent's bride's diamond worth a cool $10 million. That sounds easy enough.
You Get Me, Kate
Richard: "You get me, Kate, or you used to."
Kate: "That's because I'm a trained child psychologist."
When Richard says that Kate understands him, he doesn't mean because she is trained to understand children. The gesture however is lost on her.
What Are We Doing?
Jerry: "Thrilled to be here, glad to help! What are we doing? Kidnap?"
Penelope: "Gate-crashing a wedding?"
Jerry: "Stealing a diamond? All right, we're in."
To hope with their caper, Richard and Kate enlist former neighbors Jerry and Penelope. For as crazy as the plan sounds, the neighbors are actually eager to help.
I'm Dying for a Pee
Penelope: "Sorry, I'm dying for a pee."
Richard: "Actually, I might go as well."
Kate: "I might go too, actually."
Jerry: "Well, it's never good to ignore it."
Regardless if the four are actively involved in a caper or not, one cannot simply ignore taking a bathroom break. In this scene, they do just that.
We'd Like Two Rooms
Richard: "We'd like two rooms."
Hotel Employee: "Mr. Jones and Mrs. Jones"
Kate: "Really, we're divorced. I kept his name."
Hotel Employee: "And you are holidaying together to see if the flames still burn?"
Richard: "Yeah, yeah, why not?"
Kate: "No, not at all. So not! The flame is still out. Snuffed! Gone!"
A nosy hotel employee wonders aloud why two people, who appear to be married, are selecting separate rooms. Her idea that they've traveled together to get back together doesn't go over well with Kate, though Richard seems open to the idea.
Have You Got the Gun?
Richard: "Have you got the gun?"
Penelope: "No, I just decided it was just too dangerous."
Kate: "Quite right"
Penelope: "But I made sandwiches, egg and mayo. Anybody hungry?"
Though not nearly as effective on bad guys as an actual gun, something says that Penelope's choice to make sandwiches instead of bringing a firearm might just pay off for them.
