Richard: Stay loose... [the ship tips over when Richard places his tweezers near it] Richard: Fuck!

Instead of curses, find a more family-friendly way to express life's frustrations. [Richard drops his tweezers inside the bottle, causing him to get up in anger] Richard: Fuck you! Ship fuck! Asshole ship! Seven seas fucker! Jolly fucker! Lori Wehlner: For Christ's sake... Richard: No one can do that! It's impossible! Not even a guy with tiny hands! Not even a guy with a child's hands!

[Richard turns to his right] Richard: Doug, can we take our sack off? Doug Stauber: What? [Everyone bursts in laughter] Richard: Did you take your sack off? Doug Stauber: I can't really hear you. Retreat Leader: If you could take off one more thing you simply do not need. Do it! Richard: [whispers] Fuck! [Richard removes his shirt, revealing a tattoo of the band KISS on his chest, to the delight of everyone else] Retreat Leader: Okay, uhhh... all right, everybody that still has a bag on top of their heads, scream, 'My concentration skills need improvement.' One, two, three. Richard: My concentration skills need improvement! [Everyone bursts into laughter]
