The Descendants Movie Quotes

Story: From Alexander Payne, the creator of the Oscar-winning Sideways, set in Hawaii, The Descendants is a sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic journey for Matt King (George Clooney) an indifferent husband and father of two girls, who is forced to re-examine his past and embrace his future when his wife suffers a boating accident off of Waikiki. The event leads to a rapprochement with his young daughters while Matt wrestles with a decision to sell the family's land handed down from Hawaiian royalty and missionaries.

Quotes from The Descendants (2011) movie

Alexandra: You really don't have a clue do you?
Alexandra: Dad. Mom was cheating on you.

Matt: Who is he? I'd like to know who the guy is that my wife was...seeing?

Sid: How often do old people just haul off and cold c**k you like that?

Matt: My friends think that just because we live in Hawaii, we live in paradise. We're all just out here sipping Mai Tai's, shaking our hips and catching waves. Are they insane? Do they think we're immune to life? How can they possibly think our families are less screwed up? Our heartaches, less painful?

Alexandra: Dad this is Sid.
Matt: Hi Sid.
Sid: What's up, bro? (hugs Matt)
Matt: Don't ever do that to me again.

Matt: I thought you were supposed to be getting your act together?
Alexandra: I've been doing really well, actually. Nobody ever seems to notice that.

Cousin Hugh: What you've been going through, that's a tough deal.
Matt: I'm just trying to keep my head above water.

Alexandra: (to Scottie) Get out of my underwear, you freak!
Matt: No no, back inside - put on a swimsuit, now!
Alexandra: Real good job you're doing.
Matt: That's part of why I brought you here. You have to help me with her - I don't know what to do with her.
Alexandra: Maybe if you spent more time with her, she wouldn't act like such a complete spaz.

Matt: Alex?
Alexandra: Dad? What's up dad? What's happening?
Matt: You need to come home and see your mom.
