Ernest Reed
Injured while risking his life to save an angry German shepherd, Chicago firefighter Jack Moniker retires and moves to a small Caribbean island named St. Nicholas. There, he is befriended by the owner of a run-down resort, Ernest Reed. Greedy developers are scheming to wrest Reed's coveted beachfront property from him for non-payment of taxes. Jack comes to Ernest's rescue, and together they renovate and reopen the resort catering to affluent Americans. The film follows the zany exploits of the proprietors, guests and various colorful island denizens, as they break in the new "Club Paradise."
I heard about this guy in Cicero, well he stiffed a loan shark, so a couple of these guys got him, cut off his arm, beat him to death with the arm, and shoved it in a food processor and made a dip out of it. Then they served it to his family at his sister's wedding. And the sister loved it so much, she wanted the recipe. It's a crazy world, isn't it?
Tree, what's happenin'?
Oooooh, no thanks. Last time I smoked that stuff they found me on top of the Sears Tower trying to build a nest.
Now you stay here and honk if there's any troub... Wait a minute! This thing's helium. Goddamnit, I brought the wrong tank!
I once met a proud, black man such as yourself, and I gave him a small piece of advice: wear one glove, just one glove. Do you know who that was?
No.

The vacation you'll never forget--no matter how hard you try.
