Quotes

• Lucky: Aw, baby girl, there ain't nothin' wrong with the machine. It says you ain't got no more in there.

Luanne: It barely looked.

• Peggy: Luanne, this pie chart represents your expenses - food, gas, clothes. And this great big piece of pie is credit card debt.

Luanne: I'll never be able to eat it!

• Luanne: All these jobs are racist against people who don't have skills.

• Dale: Credit cards are a last resort, after cash, cheque, plasma, urine, and alien urine. Sure, there's bone marrow, but that is more prudently used as a retirement vehicle. Or so says Lou Dobbs.

• Luanne: Nureen really likes children. Well, at least I think she does because she has a whole lot of them.

• Peggy: Your Uncle Hank is on board by a thread. I appeased him with some fancy patio furniture talk, but if we screw this up, he'll still give us that look.

Luanne: I hate that look.

Peggy: We all do.

• Bill: That woman is perfect. She's beautiful and could be a father figure.

• Lucky: Nice score!

Hank: Score? Someone scored?

Lucky: Heck, yeah. Aunt Peggy did.

Hank: Aunt Peggy?

Lucky: Yeah, she knocked out their blockers so Luanne could scoot past their jammer.

Bill: I'm so confused.

Lucky: See, your blockers stop the other team's jammers. The pivots can block, jam, or counter jam. Only the pivot or jammer can score.

Hank: But how do they score?

Lucky: No one really knows.

• Pratley: Knocky knocky. I hope you're decent. (disappointed) Oh, you are.

• Luanne: This is the smallest cheque for $500 I have ever gotten.

• Hank: Shall we celebrate now and buy a piece of patio furniture or wait and get the whole grouping at the end of the month?

Peggy: I say we delay gratification.

Hank: Well, I do like delaying gratification.

• Lucky: So here's my plan: I climb this fence and get you a chip.

Bobby: That's your plan? It took you two days to think of that?

Lucky: I had to cover all the angles.

• Peggy: Smile. I want to see all eight of your teeth.
