Quotes

• Peggy: Can't we just listen to music when we wake up?

Hank: Wait. What was the dew point again?

• Bobby: Lucky and I watched a police chase for two hours last night. He says what you're supposed to do in that situation is run into a mall.

• Bobby: Hey, is that Lucky on COPS?

• Peggy: I can't believe that Luanne is throwing her life away on a guy whose big claim to fame is that he "slipped on pee pee at the Costco, and got a $53,000 settlement." And he's pretty much blown through that making his truck shiny.

• Minh: Don't worry, Peggy Hill. Lucky won't be around forever. He got hunting accident written all over him.

• Lucky: So Luanne tells me you won four substitute teacher awards.

Peggy: Three. Well, it should have been four. I guess some people are happy to say the same old Pledge of Allegiance for the rest of their lives.

• Peggy: If Hank knew you touched his underpants, he'd put you through a wall.

• Bill: I got drunk last night, called in to the Jewelry Channel again. They put me on the air and I ended up crying. I bought a ring for Peggy.

• Hank: (about Lucky) I'll bet he gets a job before you know it.

Peggy: Yeah. Maybe he'll get a job far away from here. Like China. God knows, he loves imitating them.

• Hank: (scrapping the grill) You know, some people like to keep this stuff on for flavour. We won't be eating at their houses.

• Peggy: Did you know he doesn't even plan on getting a job? He just wants the G.E.D. for his stupid code of honour. Education for education's sake. What a waste!

• Peggy: Wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. Maybe Lucky won't even pass the test. Oh, of course, he'll pass the test. These things are designed so that even a high school dropout can pass them.

• Bobby: I'm not an idiot. I know when you say "guck" you really mean... divorce? Crack? Condoms!

• Dale: So, Lucky wants to propose to Luanne. It's weird, Hank. I always thought you'd be the next to get married. After you left Peggy, of course.

Bill: Does this mean Lucky's gonna take my place at Thanksgiving? I know how many folding chairs you have.

• Kahn: Oh, yeah. Lucky just who you want in your gene pool. Your family going to evolve backwards... into fish!

• Lucky: I... failed.

Luanne: What?

Lucky: I don't understand.

Peggy: Well, that's probably why you failed.

• Hank: Well, at least you tried, Lucky. For a lot of coaches these days, that would be enough.

• Lucky: Whoa, whoa! Let's just rip the needle off that record right now.

Luanne: But I'm not playing a record.

• Dale: Well, according to my code of honour, I can't return the jigsaw I borrowed from ya. Yes, I broke into your garage. That's part of my code, too.

• Dale: I recognise that walk. Somewhere there's an ass that's about to be kicked.

• Luanne: Well, at least I won't need to buy shoes. The baby can wear mine. My mama was smart enough to dip 'em in bronze so they'd keep.

• Lucky: Luanne Leanne Platter, would you make me the happiest man in the - Hold on. Is that gun cocked? It's got to be cocked.

Hank: I'm not gonna to cock it.

Lucky: Okay, I'm in no position to make demands.
