This time the Griswolds are on a roll. (taglines) Clark Griswold That's nothing, it's a...birthmark. Hard six coming out. It's my long-life food preservative. The FDA finally approved it! Eddie, This is great! They don't have any of these games at the Mirage. His name is not Papagiorgio. His name is Rusty Griswold and he's a C+ student! Don't think unnatural thoughts about your cousin, Rus. ...and he want's to enter that garden, with a knowledge, and a mulch... Oh, Keno! This is easy. My pen burst. (after hotel employee notices Clark's arm is blue from falling in the plane's toilet) Ellen Griswold (after an attempt to have sex with Clark in the bathroom goes horribly wrong) I'll never fly again. Clark, this is a family trip. Can you try to stay with the family. Could be worse...you could be pregnant again. You find the Clark Griswold that I married and you tell him that I'm at the Mirage! I love what you've done with the kitchenette. Well, I don't know what you would do with your horses, because, Clark likes to use the garage for the cars and the lawn mower. I've got news for you Clark. I haven't said yes, yet. Rusty Griswold Couldn't you just roll us around on the bed again. I put a dollar in I won a car, I put a dollar in I won a car, I put a dollar in I won a car, I put a dollar in I won a car. Who would have thought my sister had the legs of a thoroughbred. Am I right? So I says to him, I said, "Get your own monkey!" It's expensive having an entourage. Security: "No corrective lenses tonight Mr Papagiorgio?" Rusty: "No sir, I do not require them." Holy crap, Wayne Newton's hittin' on mom! Cousin Eddie Clark, have you ever tried to swim with the dolphins? [to Wayne Newton] Do you need a bodyguard? I'd die for you! Aw, she's got her mother's looks and her daddy's sense of balance. My garden's spittin' out 50-lb tomatoes. Hey, kids. Round-up time! Oh, yeah. That's from when I sold my kidney. I figured with all the advancements in modern science, I'd better sell it while someone still wanted to buy it. Smartest thing I ever did, Clark. Ahh Uban Coffee you know you can sprinkle that stuff on anything, ice cream, mashed potatoes or just eat it straight out of the can for a quick pick me up. Don't worry, he's with me. It's a bust, Las Vegas fun police, hand over your chips. ha ha ha ha Whoa man it is a blazer out there. You're lucky you got air conditioning in here {Casino} - like mother nature intended. I gotta warn ya Clark – they don’t play the same games that they do at them regular casinos Cousin Vicki Lord is my witness, I hate this heat! If it isn't gluing your butt to the truck seat it's making you sweat like a farm animal! In this world, you’re either up on the stage in the spotlight, or down in the pit serving drinks Honey, these boys ain't much to talk to, but, if you want a night away from your cat... they're more than fine. Other Jilly - That's it, kid. Now all we have to do is teach you how to dress. Roy - What a great audience. Dialogue Clark: Eddie, did anyone ever tell you, you're bad luck. Eddie: You know, those were my mother's dying words. Course, when you're covered in third degree burns and your leg's caught in a bear trap, you're bound to say weird things. Ellen: Clark. Are you feeling lucky tonight, Sparky? Clark: Not right now, honey. They're teaching me baccarat. Clark: Here, make the seats good. [begins pouring coins into the Maitre d's hand] Maitre d' : No...gratuity...necessary, sir. Right this way. Jilly: Kid, you made me a lot of money tonight. Hey, you like gettin' massages? Rusty: By who? Jilly: [sarcastically] By who...by me. Meet me in the spa tomorrow at 10 o'clock. Clark: You need any help with the grill, Eddie? Eddie: No thanks, Clark. Don't have one. [throws chicken onto a rock] I'll get the tongs Audrey: OK, what happened to you last night? Rusty: [giggles] [Audrey and Rusty sit down to breakfast] Audrey: Coffee Rusty: Me, too. Ellen: Make it three. Clark: [to waitress] Four coffees it is. Clark: Kids! Audrey: Daddy, don't shout. Clark: What do you say we each have an 'alone day', where each of us can go out and explore the city of Las Vegas in their own way. Ellen: Clark, I don't think that's such a good... Rusty: Thanks Audrey: See, ya. Clark: Don't worry, honey. You're gonna love it. See ya. Security: Have you seen a guy named Nick Papagiorgio? Clark: Yes, he took my wallet. He's over there. [at Club Areola] Security: Your usual table, Mr. Papagiorgio? Rusty: Not today, Jimmy. Clark: You're in deep trouble, my friend. Ellen: Clark. Are we lost? Rusty: Yeah, dad. What block are we on? Clark: Very funny, Rus. Rusty: I wanna gamble. Clark: Russell. I never want to hear those words come out of your mouth again. Gambling is a very serious business.
