Quotes

• Dale: Well, it's either just a crack in the driveway or the Chinese are making their move.

• Bobby: Hey, dad, you know what would be a good way of teaching me responsibility? How about you agree to unblock the FOX network and I agree not to watch it?

Hank: Is it football season?

Bobby: No.

Hank: Then it's blocked.

• Peggy: I was right. Enrique was longing for a human connection.

Hank: Well, he's not getting it from me. I'm his boss.

• Hank: Yeah, the problem here is with your wife. You should probably be talking to her. Yup, I guess that's the plan. Go talk to your wife.

Enrique: No, I can't talk to her. I am a man. Besides, Yolanda is not as easy to talk to as you, Hank.

Hank: What about someone else? Someone who knows you personally? Like a priest or a soccer coach?

Enrique: Impossible. I am a Mexican-American and in my community it would be a disgrace to speak of my marriage problems.

Hank: Mexicans don't talk about their feelings? That's great. So, uh, why'd you give that up?

• Peggy: See, Enrique is asking about you. Now you need to ask about him. Find out what the problem is in his marriage. Is he there for her emotionally?

Hank: Look, all I know about him is that he likes blue pens and he staples horizontally, and that's all I should know.

• Enrique: Hey, you know what's really cool? Hank comes off all stiff and formal here, but you can tell he really loves his wife.

Hank: Oh, God!

Donna: Is he affectionate with her?

Enrique: Well, the thing about Hank and Peggy's relationship--

Buck: Got dang it, Hank, this is the busiest day of the month and you're bragging about your lovemaking with your wife? Now get back to work!

• Dale: Dang it, Hank, we've been waiting forever to work on the driveway. We're almost too drunk to use power tools.

• Hank: Mm, fresh concrete. Boy, that smell really helps me put all that Enrique stuff in perspective. I can't wait till it dries to see how she parks.

Bill: And to think my wallet's in there somewhere.

Dale: Hank, I spit in the concrete, so when I mysteriously "disappear," you'll be able to use my DNA to create the perfect neighbour - half man, half driveway.

• Enrique: This looks great, right, Hank? I should sign up, huh? Party every night.

Hank: I can't answer that, Enrique. All I know is that you'll either be living here or with Yolanda. Not with us. But I want you know that whatever you decide, it's none of my business.

• (Enrique is outside pleading to be let in)

Luanne: Uncle Hank, are we going to be murdered?

• Peggy: So, how'd it go with Enrique and Yolanda? Are they going to therapy? Do you think they're truly reconciled or do you think she'll kick him out again?

Hank: Peggy, I have no idea.
