Quotes

• Dale: I've got it! A pancake sale, where we get our wives to serve pancakes topless. Not yours, Hank.

Hank: True enough.

Smitty: But you can sleep on it.

• TV Announcer: Up next: History's Mysteries with Nazi Hidden Gold, followed by Building the Nazi War Machine, and Nazis of the Desert, Nazis of the Sea.

Luanne: Wow, the Nazis did a lot.

• Luanne: Stupid rednecks! We can't hear ourselves watch TV.

• Smitty: Hey, Hank, that reminds me of a thing from a long time ago. I forget. You'll get a kick (starts snoring)

• Bill: If this field could talk, I bet it would say "Thanks for watering me, Bill. I was very thirsty. So, handsome, got any plans Friday night?"

• Luanne: This truck is beautiful. I call it Pretty-Pretty Truck-Truck!

• Lucky: Sometimes the world is cruel to shiny things.

• Dale: Hank, this is hard! And Bill's not carrying my share of the load!
