Vacation:

Clark Griswold: "Real tomato ketchup, Eddy?"
Eddie: "Nothing but the best for you, Clark!"

Or Christmas Vacation:

Ellen: "What are you looking at?"
Clark: "Oh, the silent majesty of a winter's morn... the clean, cool chill of the holiday air... an asshole in his bath robe, emptying his checmical toilet into my sewer."
Eddie: "Merry Christmas! Shitter was full!"
