** "If you say the word 'trifecta' one more time, I am going to choke you until you are dead! [[ItMakesSenseInContext And then this man can arrest me one more time for one more crime in his office]], and HE's gonna have a fourfecta!! Now you shut the FUCK up!!"

The film begins with Oscar finding out that [[ContrivedCoincidence his son is marrying Felix's daughter]], and the wedding is in less than a week. The rest of the plot revolves Felix and Oscar traveling to California trying to make their way to the wedding together, which of course evolves into a wild, wacky adventure which makes it seem like they will never make it there. [[HilarityEnsues Hilarity ensues]].

--->'''Oscar:''' The wick is almost out, Felix. I just want the candle to glow rather than curse the darkness.
--->'''Felix:''' It's not going out, Oscar. Not yours, not mine. And I still hope that someday, we will both find the right lamplighter.
--->'''Oscar:''' You know, we just used so many metaphors that I forgot what the hell we were talking about.
