Memorable Moments

  • When Dale grabs the wrong briefcase, the owner tries to wrestle it back, leaving Dale to reach into his pocket to take out sand and throw it in the man's face, exclaiming "Pocket sand!"
  • When Boomhauer's phone rings, Hank has to answer it with his nose, despite having to put his head near Boomhauer's crotch. Mad Dog walks in on the sight, leaving Hank to swear he was just calling for help.
  • As Dale crawls on the ground, he blows smoke to reveal a laser and proceeds to limbo under it. However, he knocks off his hat and then reaches over the laser to retrieve it.

Quotes

  • Dale: Guess who's running for an unprecedented fourth term as president of the Arlen Gun Club? I'll give you a hint. He made love to my wife last night.
  • Dale: Macaroon? I've got entrance-wound size and exit-wound size.
  • Mad Dog: Paid ad don't mean nothing. I bought a knife from an ad in the back of that magazine. Said it wouldn't break off in a man's skull. Crap.
  • Dale: I'm a laughingstock!
Hank: Dale, calm down. In a couple of weeks, I'm sure one of those guys will accidentally shoot off someone's toe and this'll all be forgotten.
Dale: Oh, God, if that happened, I'd kiss his bloody nub.
  • Hank: Hey, Dale, you look kind of sad for a guy who's in a propane dealership.
  • Dale: Mad Dog's challenging me for president and he's already got the black vote - Earl - and the gay vote - Earl.
  • Dale: You don't understand. Me having an accidental discharge is like you giving a sales pitch for a grill and not even mentioning the convenient warming plate.
Hank: (flustered) I-I can't even - No! God, no!
  • Peggy: How long am I gonna have to look at Dale moping around in his underwear? Oh, there goes the underwear.
  • Bill: I can honestly say this is the first time I've ever seen anyone as depressed as I am. It's scary.
  • Dale: (answering phone) This is Dale.
Hank: (disguising his voice) Yes, I'm calling about your ad.
Dale: It's a sky-blue Schwinn in 68% mint condition.
Hank: I'm calling about your Soldier of Fortune ad.
Dale: I'm paid up. My wife sent the cheque last week.
Hank: I'm trying to hire you, you idiot.
  • Bill: How long we been on stakeout?
Hank: Three minutes.
Bill: I'm starving.
Hank: We'll get a snack after.
Bill: And I'm horny.
  • Dale: (answering phone) The falcon has the egg. By egg, I mean briefcase. Oh, and this is Dale, from the ad.
Hank: There's been a change in plans. Your new mission is to take the briefcase to the lost and found at the bus station.
Dale: Wait a minute. I don't recall a change in plans being in the original plan.
  • Dale: I can't die on my first mission! It's bad for business!
  • Dale: Someone's trying to kill me! And this time I'm not just saying that to get attention!
  • Dale: I should have known it was too good to be true. Fourteen years I've been running that ad. Not one call! Then suddenly, one call.
  • Dale: Oh, God, I'm a dead man. If you guys are seen with me, Mister Big'll kill you, too! So get out of here! Hank, Boomhauer, you got a lot to live for! Bill... you can stay or go - doesn't matter.
  • Dale: Quick, Nancy! Plan 51 Tango!
Nancy: What are you talking about, sug'?
Dale: Fifty-one Tango! In the event of a hostile takeover of the Gun Club resulting in a Dale-threatening situation, I flee to Costa Rica! Why do we even have the drills if you aren't gonna pay attention?
  • Hank: Well, I don't hear any girlish screams. So either Dale's not here yet or he's dead.
  • Mad Dog: Trespassers. If I shoot 'em, I'm going back to jail. But I can't not shoot 'em.
  • Bill: (after falling in hole) I'm okay. This skeleton broke my fall.
  • Joseph: I had to cut my hair to make a moustache for my dad. We're going on a trip.
Bobby: In my dad's truck?
Dale: Your - Your dad gave it to me. He's buying a convertible. I wasn't supposed to say anything, but here it is: he's having a midlife crisis. He'll probably leave your mother and it's partially your fault. Now, be good boys and go get my flip-flops. They're under the couch. Oh, and bring the couch.
  • Mad Dog: See that nasty stain on the carpet? Well, you better start talking or you're gonna end up just like the guy who spilled that red wine.
  • Bobby: Is that my dad? If he's not gonna make it home for dinner, ask him if I can have his pork chop.
Dale: Bobby, you'll be having your dad's pork chop every night for the rest of your life. Wait. That's the saddest thing I've ever heard. Retraction. Bobby, you will not be having your dad's pork chop tonight or any other night! You hear that, Hank? Bobby's not having your pork chop, damn it! I'm on my way!
  • Hank: Dang it, Dale. Mad Dog is not Mister Big. I am Mister Big.
Dale: No, you're not.
Hank: (disguising voice) I am Mister Big.
Dale: (gasps) But I've known you since the second grade. When - When - When did this happen? First grade?
  • (building explodes)
Dale: Wait a minute. Did we untie Bill?
Bill: I'm okay. I just fell in the hole again.
