Quotes

• Peggy: The car died, again. Luckily, Bill was right behind me when it happened so he gave me a lift.

Hank: Huh. He was behind you the last time it broke down. Well, that's lucky. I - I guess.

• Hank: Uh, Peggy wants a convertible.

Dale: She knows you're a heterosexual, right?

Hank: It's Peggy's car. It's not like I'd ever be driving it.

Bill: But it'll be in your driveway.

Hank: Uh, I hadn't considered that. Oh, good Lord.

• Nancy: Hank got his "special deal," right? Dale always talks about Hank's special deal. He talks a lot about Hank.

• Dale: As your friend, I have no choice but to put you on an immediate suicide watch, Hank.

Hank: I'm not gonna kill myself.

Dale: Then I'm putting you homicide watch, because you're gonna kill something, and if it's not yourself, it could be me.

• Peggy: Well, I am just glad you did not drive my car through his ass. I didn't know how you were going to do that, but you sounded serious.
