Quotes

• Hank: If it's Monday night, it must be Frito pie with Wolf-brand chilli.

Peggy: I made it just the way you like it: perfect.

• Hank: (seeing Bobby with a cheerleader uniform) There better be a naked cheerleader under your bed.

• Hank: How could you, Peggy? Now what am I gonna carve the turkey in? My underwear? Not with an electric knife. No, sir.

Peggy: Even world-famous surgeons do not get it right 100% of the time. They make mistakes, Hank. People die. We are human.

• Bobby: Can you help me fix my dad's pants?

Ms Bittner: He can't wear one of your clever jokes?

Bobby: Please, Ms Bittner, I've never asked for anything from you, except more sugar.

• Bill: There you go. $1 million! I guess I'll have to sell my private island in the South Pacific, huh?

Dale: You never go anyway.

• Teller: Most of the million dollar checks we see are jokes.

Dale: Your job sounds fun.

• Hank: Don't touch it, Bobby. Those nests could be full of fleas and ticks.

Peggy: Not if you take the birds out. They'll build another nest. They're not just going to let their eggs sit there on the sidewalk!

• Bobby: I didn't know your bed was made of two little beds.

Hank: Well, your mother likes her mattress firm and I like mine extra firm. So I guess it's true. Opposites attract.

• Hank: Hey, Peggy.

Peggy: Well, maybe for you it is. Oh, I was expecting you to say, "Good morning."

• Peggy: Look what I found in Bobby's bed. It's a ladies' magazine and that is not my opinion. It says so right in the title. You were right about Home Ec, Hank. It's ruining Bobby. Every perfume ad has been scratched and sniffed, and his horoscope says that this is a good week for him to meet the man of his dreams. If you ask me, Hank, that boy ain't right.

• Bill: Did I fix my roof in the last few days?

Hank: Well, it still looks pretty bad, so maybe.

• Hank: Bobby, I need you to do two things I pray you'll never have to do again. Tape the Cowboys' game and give me an apron.
