Quotes

• Buck: Thatherton?! Gotdang! I know Pat Ritchie cheats on his wife, but I never thought he'd cheat on me!

• Hank: Apparently, he communicated with Pat on something called MySpace.

Buck: MySpace?! He used MySpace?! What is MySpace? What are we talking about here?

Hank: I don't know, sir. I think it's a cult.

• Bill: Please, Dale, let me get truffles with you. I love truffles.

Dale: Okay, you can come with. But you do know these aren't chocolate truffles, right?

Bill: Of course I know that. I want the kind of truffles that we're talking about.

• Dale: Face-to-face interfacing is obsolete. There's over 400 expressions that you can make with symbols online. You can only make two expressions with your face, Hank. Are you agreeing with me? Are you happy? Are you sad? I can't tell.

Bill: It's true. Conversation is better on MySpace. I reveal things about myself that I could just never tell you guys. Don't go to MySpace, Hank.

• Peggy: I also love MySpace, but I would never be on it as myself. Online, I am Ted Danson. People will tell Ted Danson anything. Kahn is manic-depressive.

• Dale: Peggy, I'm borrowing your dog to track down my pig. If you'd like to borrow Joseph as collateral, I'm okay with that.

Peggy: When you bring her back, just hose her down.

Dale: Hose Joseph, too.

• Hank: Are your 4,000 friends going to come out of the computer and get me?

Enrique: The people are not really in the computer, Hank. That would be like Poltergeist.

• Dale: (to Ladybird re: truffles) Remember this smell. And while you're at it, get a whiff of the wine. There's money in that, too.

• Hank: Donna, you're fired.

Donna: What? You can't fire me, Hank. This is your fault. I need supervision. It is in all of my reviews.

• Hank: Turn it off.

Enrique: Donna changed the password. She controls the Strickland site now.

Hank: Unplug it.

Joe Jack: That ain't going to stop it. Her powers are growing, honey.

• Dale: I can't let the dog eat it. Bill, you finish the dig. But don't eat it.

• Hank: Strickland Propane is a family, and like a family, we shouldn't know each other's inner thoughts.
