Quotes

• Dale: Gentlemen, do not be alarmed if you hear any loud noises coming from my property over the next few days. I'm just blowing stuff up. Look what I found at the library!

Hank: (reading book title) How to Blow Stuff Up.

Bill: You're making a bomb?

Dale: Several. I'm engaged in an arms race with an exterminator in McMaynerberry.

Hank: You could get in a lot of trouble for this, Dale. I'm pretty sure the government keeps track of books like that. At least I hope they do.

• Hank: Why do we have to watch a foreign movie? If it was any good, they would've made an American version.

• Peggy: I'll watch the rest at Minh's. I bet she likes foreign movies. She's a foreigner. To her, it's just a movie.

• Rusty Shackleford: Dale Gribble?

Dale: Maybe. Who's asking?

Rusty Shackleford: Rusty Shackleford.

Dale: Wha?!

Rusty Shackleford: It's me, Dale.

Dale: But - But that's impossible. Rusty died in third grade.

Rusty Shackleford: I didn't die. I moved. You need to stop using my name, Dale.

Dale: I am not using your name. And I am not Dale!

Rusty Shackleford: Come on, Dale, you're smoking the same brand of cigarettes you did in the third grade.

Dale: Get off my property, whoever I am!

• Dale: He's gonna hunt me like an animal and kill me... like an animal!

• Bobby: This is just like that time I had to sell all those candy bars for school. Is there any way you can eat your way out of this?

• Peggy: What's all this?

Judy Barnes: Next month's product. Your garage was locked. I hope you don't mind. We used a crowbar.

• Peggy: What are you doing?

Dale: Hiding! And you're blowing my cover.

Peggy: This is my hedge. Go find your own!

Dale: I was here first. And Hank deeded this hedge to me. He didn't want you to get it in the divorce.

• Dale: There's no escape! Maybe if I killed myself he'd leave me alone.

Peggy: While you're at it, take me out, too.

Dale: Peggy, it would be my pleasure.

Peggy: A murder/suicide pact. That might work. If Shackleford and Cozy Kitchen think we're dead, they'll stop looking for us.

Dale: Let's do it!

Peggy: I'll pretend to kill you and then pretend to take my own life.

Dale: Pretend? Ah, well, I guess I'm still in.

• Peggy: And you think that's really going to convince people we're dead?

Dale: How hard can it be? Shackleford convinced me he was dead in the third grade.

• Dale: After we throw the dummies into the water, we leave a suicide note on the railing. The swift current will tear the dummies apart and the cops won't find a thing.

Peggy: Well, then why throw the dummies in the first place? Who would even know?

Dale: We'd know. Show a little pride, Peggy.

• Rusty Shackleford: We need to settle this whole identity theft issue once and for all.

Dale: Oh, God! A gun! Die like a man, Gribble. Die like a man.
