The story behind the quote: This week’s quote comes the 2010 cult classic comedy horror movie, Tucker and Dale vs. Evil. The film focuses on two hillbillies, the titular Tucker and Dale. When they save a college girl from drowning, her friends mistake them for kidnapping her just because of how they appear. In a reversal of the hillbilly horrors trope, the college kids become the ones who start terrorizing Tucker and Dale.
The quote comes from the middle of the film. After a couple of the kids accidentally unalive themselves in at attempt to “rescue” their friend, Tucker (played by Alan Tudyk) and Dale (played by Tyler Labine) retreat into their cabin. Tucker hypotesizes the kids are offing themselves because of a suicide pact. Dale wants to report what’s happening to the police but Tucker retorts by sarcastically delivering the quote and how the law officers won’t believe their story.
What’s funny is, when the police do arrive, Tucker does try to explain the situation to the officer in the same way he explained it to Dale.
Geek wisdom: There are going to be good days and bad days. Well, maybe not as bad as what Tucker and Dale experienced. But life is never going to be smooth sailing and we have to take each day, both good and bad, as they come.
