[Sara is filming Brennan]
Sara Newton : So, Brennan. Dad said this is going to be the funnest vacation ever. Can we get your reaction?
[Brennan flips Sara off]
Sara Newton : [tattling] I'm gonna tell you did that!
-
[the Newtons are debating whether or not they should bring Beethoven]
Sara Newton : [to her parents] You wouldn't put Ted, Ryce, or Emily in a kennel, and Beethoven's our cousin, too.

[first lines]
[Sara and Beth are packing for their trip]
Beth Newton : What are you doing?
Sara Newton : [holding a camcorder] Dad said I'm family videographer. I'm documenting our journey!
[Beth grabs some items and chuckles at Sara's comment]
Beth Newton : We're not going on a journey, Sara. We're going on a very long drive.
Beth Newton : Nuh-uh! Dad said we're taking a journey!
[Beth chuckles again]
Sara Newton : Does the R.V. have a power port for my laptop?
Beth Newton : Well, we're on a budget, Sara and the economy R.V. might not even have a toilet; but I'm sure it has a cigarette lighter.
Sara Newton : [sternly] Power port, mom. We don't say "cigarette lighter" anymore.
Beth Newton : Well, we also don't walk around with a milk mustache no matter how much it accentuates our booger nose, Sara.
[Beth wipes off Sara's milk mustache as she's filming]
Sara Newton : Sorry, I'm too excited about our trip. Mom, Dad has been quoted as saying this is gonna be the funnest vacation ever. Can we get *your* reaction?
Beth Newton : Honey, driving across town to a family reunion, cooking, cleaning, organizing and budgeting is not fun and *not* a vacation! Yet, it's what I do with my free time.
[Beth grimaces at Sara]
Beth Newton : [an old fashioned RV drives past the Newton residence]
Beth Newton : Oh no!
Sara Newton : [disgusted] Eww!
Beth Newton : [worried this is the RV Richard bought] No, please!
[the clunker of RV has passed their drive way]
Beth Newton : [relieved] Thank you.
[a modern RV pulls into the Newtons' driveway]
Beth Newton : No! Not my gnomes!
[the RV hits a couple of lawn gnomes as it stops in the driveway; much to Beth's annoyance]
Beth Newton : [commenting on the size of the RV Richard has rented] He got the biggest one they had!
[Richard steps out of the RV]
Richard Newton : Now this... is camping!
Sara Newton : [as she runs to greet her father and check out the RV] Dad, this is so cool!
Richard Newton : You like it? Go check it out!
[Brennan steps out of the RV irritated]
Brennan Newton : [to Richard] You think that's cool? Wait until *your* friends drive by, pointing at it and laughing at *you*! Then we'll see how cool you think it is!
Richard Newton : Brennan, maybe one of the just told a joke. Did you consider that?
Brennan Newton : Yeah. The joke was, "Look everybody! Brennan Newton is going on vacation with his family in a bus!" God, how lame is that? Even Jessica Donnelly saw me.
Richard Newton : Hey, Brenn. Your friends are all gonna stay in hotels this summer. We're gonna sleep beside pristine lakes in the great outdoors; and the beauty of it is this rig has everything! So you'll never even know you left home!
Brennan Newton : That's just it, Dad. It's home, but smaller for two weeks.
[Brennan takes off still irritated]
Brennan Newton : [under his breath] I don't even wanna go on this stupid trip anyway.

Richard Newton : [telling the truth of the disasterious road trip, at the bug crossing] All I wanted to do is give my family a great vacation. It's been one disaster after another. This is even worse than the motor home vacation I had as a kid.
Brennan Newton : [shocked at this deception] What?
Beth Newton : I thought you loved that trip.
Richard Newton : [revealing his lie] I hated it.
Beth Newton : Well, then why do you keep telling us how much you loved it?
Richard Newton : [telling the full truth] Because I wanted to remember it that way. I wanted to forget how bad it really was. And the truth is... it was horrible. My brother and I fought the whole 2,000 miles. And Spartacus, our dog, was car sick. Can you believe that? A car sick dog? It was horrible. My mother -- My mother kept telling us how much fun we were having, but we weren't having any fun. My dad drove himself crazy trying to make sure we had fun.
Sara Newton : [sparing his feelings] It's okay, Daddy. We know how you feel.
Brennan Newton : Yeah, Dad. We know exactly how you feel.
