Quotes

• Bill: A gym? But I can't work out in public, in front of all those healthy people. I'm too fat.

Hank: You're too fat to go to a gym?

Dale: Poor Bill. Too fat to work out, not fat enough to live in bed.

• Peggy: This is the perfect place for a gym. It's close, it's quiet, and it already smelled.

• Bill: Maybe I could lift weights later. When everyone is gone.

Peggy: This is not the place for you to finally start feeling embarrassed.

Nancy: Yeah, it's a safe environment, sug. Peggy tooted on the hack squat machine and nobody said a word.

• Bill: Dirk says this rapid-release protein supplement will really max my pump.

Dale: Question: Who is Dirk, what is a rapid-release protein supplement, where is your pump, and why does Dirk want to max it?

• Dale: Damn it, Hank, sooner or later, your sunny optimism is going to get us all killed.

• Minh: Who thought Bill's house could function as something other than a shrine to crushing misery?

• Luanne: His arm's having a heart attack!

• Luanne: I don't like being around those scary weightlifter guys. They talk in yelling.

• Peggy: They are freaks, Hank. I swear I saw a live chicken go in that gym that did not come out.

• Dirk: This is great. You've reached the threshold! It's the moment when your entire body is screaming at you to stop and you think there's a realistic chance you might die.

Gorilla: I know it's a good workout when blood vessels in the back of my eyeballs pop!

• Peggy: Hank, today is Bill's Army physical; Bobby, it's chicken and dumplings for school lunch; and I have a pap smear.

Bobby: I hate chicken and dumplings. I'll trade you, mom.

• Hank: Mister Dauterive is no longer a friend. He's just a pumped up, annoying neighbour.

Bobby: I'm a little grossed out by him, too, dad, but he was human once.

Hank: Well, I guess I should remind him. If he loses his job, he'll have to sell his weights, and then he'll come over here and crush our appliances for exercise.

• Bill: I can't work out for six months. My muscles will be gone by then.

Hank: Well, you looked better without them. And, hey, at least your physical was postponed until you recover.

Bill: Yeah.

Hank: Well, look at it this way. You've got a new goal: dropping that extra weight. Let's start with a really killer walk to the mailbox. How's that? You feel the burn?

Bill: No.

Hank: Perfect.
