So many quotes. Some are repeats but here goes:
Captain Ron: [telling how he lost his eye] Yeah, it happened when I went down off the coast of Australia.
Katherine Harvey: Your boat sank?
Captain Ron: No, no, no, no. Not my boat. My boss's boat. Yeah, we hit this reef. Huge son-of-a-bitch. Ran the whole coast.
Katherine Harvey: Wait. The Great Barrier Reef?
Captain Ron: You've heard of it, huh? Smart lady.
Captain Ron: [to Ben] Hey swab. C'mere. Listen up. Now, the way it works shipboard is, you do your job. You do it good, you get a better job. Maybe you get promoted from swab to mate.
[Ben nods]
Captain Ron: Alright. Get on it.
Captain Ron: [to Martin] Sort've an incentive kind of a deal, huh?
Martin Harvey: Ah. Good.
Captain Ron: [while drinking his beer] Yeah, incentives are important. I learned that in rehab.
Caroline: and mom and dadI got tatooed!!
Martin: Where did you get a tatoo?
Caroline: In Mambo's shop!!
Katherine: No, where ON YOUR BODY did you get a tatoo?
Caroline: Mo'om, it's kinda private!
And my all time favorite part of the movie toward the end when they're being chased by pirates & Captain Ron fakes a broken leg & Martin discovers him jumping around excitedly because the Coast Guard is on the scene.
Martin: Captain Ron, your leg?!
Captain Ron: Yeah, it wasn't as bad as I thought. Plus I'm a quick healer, always have been; 'course I believe in Jesus, so that helps.
That line makes me laugh out loud every time, its all in the delivery. Priceless.
I almost numchucked you, you don't even realize! -

One of the numerous funny parts -
Just after Martin has thrown the automatic weapons overboard
Martin: Captain Ron!
Captain Ron: Yeah, Boss?
Martin: What did you trade?
Captain Ron: There's the beauty. Nothing. Nada. They needed a lift to San Juan
and since we're
Martin: This is my boat. You understand? We don't give lifts to armed revolutionaries.
Captain Ron: Whatever you say. I'll return the guns and the whole thing's off.
Pause
Captain Ron:Is there a problem? -

The transition from "Yo, Mom, Dad!" to San Pom de Terre at 10:48>10:18, very clever and effective.
Note, "Stir it up; little darling", by Bob Marley is played over the two kids; it's appropriate to either. This seems to emphasize that the Harvey's are doing all this for their kids, and not just going on a Club Med thing for themselves and dragging the kids along.
Note also, at 11:12, the constable or whatever, stamping some papers, appears to have a potato on his desk,
Also,
Captain Ron's mambo.
The tattoo boy. (I'm glad it was a temp.)
The first festival scene.

I gotta go w/ the "eye patch gag", where they think Capt. Ron is dead and he's lying there w/ his glass eye staring up at the ceiling, and then he jumps up and moves the eye patch over from his "good eye" "I do that to keep the light out."
I about died laughing the first time I saw that. I rented it again last night, based almost purely on my memory of that scene, and the whole movie is even funnier than I remembered/realized! It has now moved to the top of my So Silly It's Funny movie list
"Grand theft auto is a major biggie down here in Cuba."
Oh, and when he starts dancing, and everyone else joins him, after "parking" the boat and ordering a margarita!

The beer spit-take scene of course. Not just for the kid spitting out his beer at the "hide the salami" line, but then Captain Ron's response "Aww, c'mon man"
And when Captain Ron is looking through the camera viewfinder, panning it around the deck, up in the sails at the sky, back down across the deck again, and then the sudden swoop back and close up on the mom and daughter's asses as they're sanding down the deck. -

I don't know the exact words but mine was when Martin asked Captain Ron if he could get them to ? And Captain Ron said "Sure. Any fool could find it" and Martin says "Lets hope so."
And the part where they think Captain Ron is dead. -

Going on 12 years.best pirate comedy ever! It's filled with slapstick, bad puns and fake injuries, fake eyeballs and fake tattoos.. It's good medicine when life is getting stale - well worth watching at least every few months. Best scene is a tossup - the runaway sander or - Martin Short tossing the guns overboard - and the "just give 'em back" follow-up line.
