Funny / The Out-Laws (2023)

• Owen has an elaborate vault for his bank, with high-tech security that includes a fingerprint scanner and voice recognition. The kicker? Owen sets it up that he has to sing “she left me roses by the stairs.”
• Owen’s parents believe that Parker is a stripper, rather than a yoga teacher.
  Neil: I bet business is booming.
  Owen: It is booming. Not in the way I think you’re inferring.
• Owen meeting his in-laws. Firstly, Owen, assuming he’s alone, starts singing about sleeping with Parker, then his in laws surprise him and knock him to the ground. Than this exchange.
  Billy: You calling my wife a liar? I should hit your face… ah I’m only joking! You should see your face.
  Owen: [awkwardly laughing.] It’s a joke. [wiping away tears] it’s a joke.
• Owen and Parker’s meet-cute at her yoga studio.
  Lily: Then you asked her out.
  Owen: No, actually. I went to her class for the next year and a half, and she finally asked me out.
  [Billy and Lily simultaneously take a sip of wine.]
• Billy and Lily’s idea of a fun day out include skydiving and getting tattoos. Naturally, Owen takes to this easily.
  • Billy and Owen are tandem skydiving, with Billy refusing to pull the parachute cord until Owen convinces him why he should marry Parker. It goes as well as can be.
  • At the tattoo parlour, Owen suggests a Shrek character, before settling on a moon. The tattooist does the first dot, before Owen screams in agony.
• This:
  Owen: Let’s just pray to the banking gods that we have a nice, chill day.”
  [The Ghost Bandits storm through the bank] This is a robbery!
• Owen reflects on the night before, where he drunkenly revealed the passwords to the vault to Lily.
  Lily and Owen: [singing] By the stairs.
  Owen: That’s good. It’s a little nasely. Act like you’re British, but you’re not. They’re from San Diego.
• When Agent Oldham questions how the Ghost Bandits could have gained access to Owen’s high-tech vault, Owen starts crying inaudibly.
• To hide that he was chatting to Tyree, Owen pretends that their cake order was cancelled because the baker died.
  Parker: How?
  Owen: Kicked in the head by a horse.
  Parker: Jesus!
  Owen: Heart exploded on impact. Hey don’t be sad, cause the baker was racist. Like a bad racist.
  Parker: Are there good racists?
  Owen: Well, my grandmother, so.
  • Later:
  Owen: [talking to the cake shop] I’m gonna need to cancel a cake order. My fiancé was kicked in the head by a horse.
• When Owen enters Rehan’s house, he awkwardly climbs through a hedge, accidentally kicks a dog, then gets chased by a pack of smaller dogs.
  Owen: Little ones! Why, are they cheaper?
• When the henchman start shooting in the cake shop, Owen finds what appears to be a gun. Upon picking it up, he discovers that it’s cake instead.
  • Owen and Ida start screaming in turn at the carnage. Agent Oldham, who is listening to Owen through a wire, has to take his earpiece out.
  • The cake shop owner, who's apparently been drunk the whole time, calmly stays low and finds a bottle of red syrup to squirt all over herself before playing dead, like she's practiced it before. It works.
• When Parker gets taken hostage, Owen offers himself up instead.
  Rehan: You little build-a-bear. You think you’re hostage material? No one gives two shits whether you live or die. Talk to them and see.
  [Owen looks at Billy, who flashes a shrug of indifference.]
• The respective introductions of Phoebe King and Vince Millen.
  • Phoebe is a militant figure who has the highest level of security and guards at her bank. Vince, on the other hand, is negligent, rude, apathetic and only has the job as he father was the previous boss.
• After they plan to rob Vince Millen’s bank, Billy gives Owen a gun.
  Owen: Whoa! It’s way lighter than I was expecting.
  Billy: It’s a water gun.
  Owen: Is it? Do I still look cool? [Owen turns around then wields his gun.]
  Lily: Yeah, you look like James Bond.
  Billy: Which one?
  Lily: 5.
  Billy: Now, that was a good one.
• Lily and Owen enter Vince’s bank in disguises. Lily is wearing a baggy t-shirt and sunglasses, while Owen is fully decked out in a Shrek costume, complete with body paint.
  • To distract the pick-up guy, Owen says this:
  Owen: Hey, donkey!

  • Whilst holding the customers at gunpoint, Owen can’t help but converse.
  Owen: Do you guys like Shrek? Who’s your favourite character? Mine’s Shrek.
• The contrast between Lily and Billy taking out the bank employees, and Owen getting beat up by an angry hostage. Then, the hostage has a heart attack.
  Owen: Someone who looked like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnstown’s character from Moana had a heart attack, so I gave him CPR.
  • When Billy berates him afterwards:
  Billy: CPR?! You gave him CPR?!
  Owen: My training kicked in!
• The trio flee in the van, accidentally barrelling through a cemetery and destroying the tombstones.
  Billy: Lord forgive us. Mary and Joseph.
• Billy and Owen ring Owen’s parents to trick them into distracting the police.
  Neil: We will tell no one! No one!
  Cut to Agent Oldham in the backseat of their car.
  Agent Oldham: What time did they say to be here?
  Margie: 10 o’clock.
  [Car clock reads 8:00.]
• Turns out Phoebe King is not only miles ahead of Owen professionally, but where starting a family is concerned as well.
  "Please shut up. If I hear a baby crying I'll lactate. I'm not ruining this shirt."
• When Phoebe King reveals the actual vault, Owen stares in awe.
  Owen: Phoebe King.
  Phoebe: You know it, bitch.
• While Owen is with Phoebe, he tells Billy and Lily to wait for his signal before storming the bank. His signal? The discreet sounds of his car alarm beeping.
• Billy and Lily are able to attend the wedding, albeit handcuffed each to Agent Oldham. When they dance with Parker and Owen, they all get tangled up.
• During the discussion of which banks to rob, Owen presents a model to Billy and Lily.
  Billy: When did you make this?
  Owen: On my way to the vending machine. Weirdly, I had a lot of it in my pockets.
  Billy: So, let me get this straight. You made a model of a bank we’re not going to rob?
  [Owen has a Oh, Crap! look on his face. ]
