- Blanche Devereaux: You miserable, low-down piece of Yankee slime!
- Winston Hardwick III: Blanche, I sense some hostility toward me.
- Blanche Devereaux: How'd you like to sense a coconut upside your head?
- Dorothy Zbornak: Blanche, get a hold of yourself.
- Blanche Devereaux: I don't want to get a hold of myself!
- [gestures at the three men]
- Blanche Devereaux: They invite us to go out on a boat, then they sail us right out in the middle of a storm... we end up shipwrecked on this god-forsaken island!
- Rick: Hey, so we made a few mistakes. Nobody's perfect.
- Dwayne: Yeah, what's the big deal?
- Blanche Devereaux: WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL? You almost KILLED us, you nitwits! I hate you! I curse the day I ever laid eyes on you! I curse the day your mama ever laid eyes on your daddy! I curse the day your daddy ever laid down with your mama!
- Winston Hardwick III: You ladies should be grateful - it was OUR superior sailing skill that saved your lives!
- Dorothy Zbornak: Hanging onto the mast and screaming, "Please God, take the old ladies but don't hurt us!" That does not qualify as skill.
- Rick: Look, ladies. We've taken all the guff we're gonna take offa you...
- Blanche Devereaux: No, you're gonna take all the guff I got, and you're gonna LIKE it.
- Rose Nylund: ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY, NOW SHUT THE HELL UP! I'm in charge here: from now on, everybody listens to ME!
- Dwayne: Why should we listen to you?
- Rose Nylund: Because I happen to be the most decorated Pioneer Scout in the HISTORY of northern Minnesota! I can build a hundred foot rope bridge, start a fire with rocks, distill sea water into drinking water! Now if you want to get out of this alive, I suggest you listen to me! Do I hear any objections?
- [silence from everyone]
- Rose Nylund: I didn't THINK so! Blanche, start breaking up the boat. We need wood for a fire. And you three, head up north, up that ridge. Based on those rock formations, there's a good chance of finding a waterfall. If you don't find anything in an hour, head back for the coastline, follow it around, and look for our fire. Now move.
- [nobody moves]
- Rose Nylund: I SAID MOVE!
- [everybody scurries]
