2 Who says, "I must be crazy...I'm on a pilgrimage to see a moose!"?
Answer: Clark

Clark says this while the family is in Phoenix, after dropping off a dead Aunt Edna at her son's house. Clark goes berserk, and ends up yelling at everyone in the car. The last straw for him is when Rusty suggests that they turn around and go home, since they have been through so many hard times on their trip. Ellen then backs Rusty up, and tells Clark that maybe they should just go home. Clark snaps and begins having an "outburst", as Ellen later calls it, and they all end up silent and unhappy.

8 What kind of animal did Vicky win an award for raising?
Answer: Pig

Audrey and Vicki were in Vicki's room. Audrey was looking at Vicki's stuff on top of her dresser. Vicki was reading a magazine when Audrey saw her trophy. Audrey asked Vicki if people knew she won this award. Vicki had won an award for raising a pig. Vicki told Audrey that everyone knew that she had won it. Audrey then told Vicki that being a farmer wasn't very cool. Vicki pulled out a box and asked Audrey how cool was what was in the box. The box contained an illegal substance. The next day and throughout most of the movie Audrey wore dark sunglasses to cover her eyes.

Jane Krakowski played the role of cousin Vicki. When she and Audrey were on the teeter totter, they were talking about boys. Vicki told Audrey she was going steady and she french kissed. Audrey told Vicki that everyone french kissed. Vicki told her that her dad said she was the best at french kissing, though. This part of the movie when the Griswolds visited the Johnsons was my favorite. The Johnsons were definitely backwoods kind of people who, unlike the Griswolds, lacked class and home training. It was hilarious when Clark asked Vicki if he could help stir the kool aid that she was stirring with her hand.

Ellen's cousin Eddie says this, while the Griswalds are visiting Eddie and his family in Kansas. Eddie is in dire need of money, so he asks Clark if he can spare a few dollars, $52,000 to be exact. Eddie and his wife Katherine have five children, with one baby on the way, and they are living in a very old and beat up farmhouse. Eddie mentions that the bank has been after him a lot lately, so he really needs financial help.

Answer: Screemy Meemy

Clark and the family had finally made it to Walley World. They should have known something was wrong when there were no other cars in the parking lot. They made it to the front entrance where a mechanical Marty Moose told them the park was closed for two weeks. Clark and the family drove off and Clark went and bought an air pistol. They went back to Walley World and abducted one of the security guards. Clark made the other guard sit down and roll over like a dog, and told him to stay. Clark made Lasky, the security guard, take them around to the rides. Clark then told Lasky to take them to the big rides. Rusty and Lasky were sitting in the front of the roller coaster when Lasky told Rusty he had a bad experience on it. Lasky told Rusty that he had thrown up on the Screemy Meemy before.

John Candy played the nerdy security guard, Lasky. In one scene, he confronted Clark that the air pistol was not real. Lasky got up and said he was going to tell. Clark then shot him in the butt and both men argued. As they argued they didn't realize the ride had started until it was too late. Lasky had a great time with the Griswold family and did not throw up at all.

Clark had a mental breakdown when the family suggested they give up the vacation and go home. Clark told them this was no longer a vacation - it was a quest to have fun.

Answer: Clark

In the very beginning of the movie, Clark and Rusty take their old station wagon to the car dealership, in order to trade it in for a new car. When they get there and ask for their new car, the dealer shows them a hideous station wagon he calls "the Wagon Queen Family Truckster" in an even more hideous color, "Metallic Pea". Clark tells him that he's not interested in that car, and just wants the car he ordered, the super sports wagon. However, the dealer tells him that it didn't come in, so Clark gets angry and asks to have his old car back. When he gets it back, he finds that it has already been demolished, so he must take the Wagon Queen Family Truckster instead of the car he actually wants.
