Quotes

• Hank: Remember our old percolator? Now, that made a cup of coffee.

Peggy: If you want to open up that can of worms, let's talk about the old can opener.

• Buck: It's fixin' to get ugly around here. The Bystander's about to print a story claiming we've been illegally dumping our old propane tanks in the Cottonwood River!

Hank: What? Why would they say that?

Buck: Because they're jackals! They're trying to fill their news holes. And because they got proof.

Hank: Dang it, Mister Strickland, I don't understand how you can be Strickland's greatest asset and its greatest liability.

• Enrique: If we don't have an environment, where will we do stuff? Think about it.

• Hank: Mister Strickland made a bad decision that, for now, I am willing to believe was an accident.

• Hank: About that science teacher of yours, does he ever talk about, uh, going green?

Bobby: I don't know. Do you ever talk about propane? My point is, he talks about it all the time.

• Bobby: My teacher says global warming is serious business. Look at all the pictures of the Statue of Liberty at the bottom of the ocean.

• Hank: What the heck is a carbon offset?

Dale: It's like a "get out of jail free" card for people concerned about the environment, but not concerned enough to actually do anything.

• Dale: This is the perfect plan. Strickland agreed to let me plant the trees on some land he isn't using; Bobby and Joseph agreed to do the planting; and I agreed to take the money.

• Dale: I guess this is what happens when God gets lazy and humans have to pick up the slack. What else do you need me to do for you?!

• Janice: I just saw a documentary about Antarctica. If all the ice melts, where will the penguins dance?

• Nancy: Mister Strickland, you used to pollute, but now you give a hoot. Tell us how that happened.

• Peggy: I have found that live music will make people overlook anything. Sting must do horrible things for all the special concerts that man puts on.

• Bobby: I sold so many trees, they should call Strickland Woods "Strickland Forest".

• Hank: Well, congratulations, Bobby. You just put out your first Mister Strickland fire. A couple hundred more and you'll be tied with me.

• Hank: Dale, we were just at Strickland Woods and there's nothing there. How could you do this?

Dale: Well, I liked the money, but didn't care for the digging. After that the plan sort of formed itself.

• Hank: Go on, Dale. Tell them about the trees.

Buck: Yeah, about them, some of those trees might have to, you know, quietly disappear to make room for a stage.

Hank: Well, that's not going to be a problem, sir. There are no trees. Dale took your money and didn't plant anything.

Dale: Excuses, Hank. Tell him the excuses.

• Dale: He used to be in the gun club until we kicked him out. He kind of scared us; he's way into guns.
