Jack Chester Quotes in Summer Rental (1985)

Scully: [Discussing the ocean] She'll make ya rich, or she'll feed ya to the fishes. If she wants you to dance, sonny boy, you've got to follow her lead.

Jack Chester: Didn't I read that on your bathroom wall?

Scully: Yes. And it's as true today as when I hung it there.

Jack Chester: Where's Angus with that sail? There's only two more shopping days left.

Scully: He's searching the entire coast for it. I'm sure he'll find it.

Jack Chester: How can you be so sure?

Scully: If he don't, I'll kill him.

Scully: Hey mate! Good to see you. What can I get ya?

Jack Chester: How about... drunk.

Scully: [laughing] We can handle that!

Jack Chester: [receives shot of rum] Do you have an ice cube for this?

Jack Chester: Can you tread water with that hook?

Vicki: Can I have your honest opinion about something?

[lifts bikini top]

Vicki: What do you think of these? Well, how do they look?

Jack Chester: Uh, similar?

Jack Chester: I love you Scully. That's not the booze talkin' either.

Jack Chester: Don't serve those.

Al: What are you doing?

Jack Chester: These are my lobsters.

Al: Your lobsters?

Jack Chester: That's right you've got my table but you're not getting my lobsters.

Al: Oh and this is your table?

Jack Chester: [Slams his hands on the table] My table!

Jack Chester: Come on Hal. Can't you pull a few strings for me?

Hal: It's not on my hands. The agency gave you a mandatory five. Look Jack, you've been landing planes for 13 years. Face it, you're burned out. It's not a dirty word in this business. I'm telling you this as a friend, you need this rest.

Jack Chester: I can't believe they're doing this! Just because of a stinking fly.

Jennifer Chester: Did they even say how many rooms they're are?

Jack Chester: It's three bedrooms and it's on the beach. That's all I know.

Sandy Chester: Well it was very nice of Hal to find the place.

Jack Chester: It was very nice of him to tell me that I'm cracking up.

Sandy Chester: You are not cracking up. You just need this rest.

Jack Chester: Rest? Didn't we just get back from Hawaii?

Sandy Chester: Jack, that was our honeymoon.

Jack Chester: [Jack has spilled a huge bag of dog food all over the floor and is trying to clean it up] Do you have a dustpan or something?

Dan Gardner: You can just leave it sir.

Jack Chester: Good idea, because you might have a guest this summer and they have a dog and this is excellent stuff.

Jack Chester: [everybody is walking by the window in the Chester's house] Excuse me! Why are you people going through here

[a fat man belches and points to a sign that says "Public Beach Access"]

Jack Chester: Oh perfect.

[to the crowds]

Jack Chester: Come on thru. I'm Joe Public, welcome to my beach.
