Quotes

  • Dale: Oh, don't worry, Boomhauer. Patch might have beat you to the altar, but you'll beat him to the grave. As a bachelor, your life expectancy is seven years shorter than us blissfully marrieds. Even Bill gets a couple of years' credit for that charade of a marriage of his.
  • Hank: So, your brother's marrying Katherine. She made the best beer.
Boomhauer: Yup.
Dale: Wow, it's like if the Russians landed on the moon after we did and then married it.
  • Nancy: Mm. I'll tell you what, the blood runs hot in that Boomhauer family.
Minh: Yeah, that Patch got it going on, but he a dog. I can smell it from here.
Peggy: You know, I still remember the day Katherine left for London. Boomhauer stayed in his hot tub for two straight days. I have never seen a man look so unhappy, yet so relaxed.
  • Hank: (to Boomhauer and Patch) Now calm down! Both of you! I can't understand a word you're saying!
  • Kahn: You must settle this like men. Angry, redneck men. Blunderbusses at 20 paces!
  • Peggy: Maybe this is just the kick in the pants Boomhauer needs to snap him out of that Peter Pan lifestyle.
Hank: You know, maybe you're right.
Peggy: He's not getting any younger and all the women he dates are. Something's got to give.
  • Bill: So, what are Patch and Katherine serving at their wedding? I need to know what colour tux to get, stain-wise.
  • Hank: Tomorrow night from 7:00 to 10:00 PM, the family room is reserved for a bachelor party. I've got a variance from the city. They're lettin' us have 70 decibels. Same as Bennigan's.
  • Bill: Does this suit smell like embalming fluid to you?
  • Hank: Now, Boomhauer, as a man, I'm obligated to try to salvage our friendship of over 30 years by asking you some tough questions. Do you love Katherine Hester?
Boomhauer: Yo, man.
Hank: And does the thought of Patch marrying her tear you up inside?
Boomhauer: Yo, man.
Hank: And did you hire those ladies of easy virtue to frame Patch and break up the wedding?
Boomhauer: No, man.
Hank: Oh, Boomhauer, I am so sorry for doubting you. Well, wait a minute. If you didn't hire those girls, then... ? Kraig T! Oh, God, Patch knew all along!
Boomhauer: Dang ol' yeah, man, now-now, talkin' 'bout d-don't get hurt fallin' off that dang ol' high horse, man.
  • Boomhauer: Hey, um, dang ol' Hank, man, you know, talkin' 'bout, like, that dang ol' day might never not ever come, you know, but if it do, man, you know, I, you know, man, I might be puttin' a little ol' call on - on you, man.
Hank: Well, Boomhauer, I'd be honoured.
