Quotes

• Joseph: It's going to be a test of will and strength to have fake boobs and not be touching 'em all the time.

• Peggy: I'm going to go to one of those meeting and volunteer.

Minh: Yeah, my time worth more than that.

Peggy: Well, mine is not.

• Bill: Isn't the word "carburettor" redundant since it already has the word "car" in it? Shouldn't they just be called "burettors"?

Hank: Well, actually, Bill, the word--

Dale: Hey, everybody, guess whose star athlete son has been selected for Powder Puff cheerleading? My son, Joseph Gribble, was chosen!

Hank: Dale, we were in the middle of an important conversation.

Bill: Yeah, Dale, Hank doesn't want to talk about Powder Puff football. He wants to talk about burettors.

Hank: Maybe we could just stand quietly.

Dale: That's fine. I'll just carry on an internal dialogue.

• Hank: It'd just be a shame to throw it out. It's only 15 years old.

• Bill: I'm so happy for you, Hank. And you too, Bobby. Good things don't usually happen to the unathletic.

• Hank: Well, we'll see. When you're face-to-face with your teammates, it might not be so easy to quit.

Bobby: Are you kidding? I've quit more things than you've started.

• Bobby: Thanks for making me dress up like a girl, dad.

Hank: Uh, you know that after this is over, you can't do this anymore, right?

Bobby: Oh, I know.

• Alexis: See, it starts out innocently, with a boy teasing a girl. Then that same boy dresses like a cheerleader. Then little Mary Jo, honour student, is having her buttocks slapped in a rap video.

Peggy: That is the saddest hypothetical story I have ever heard.

• Peggy: But Powder Puff is all just in fun.

Alexis: So was pouring pig's blood on Carrie. Poor girl had to kill everyone.

• Coach Kleehammer: What's really offensive is watching those girls play football.

Hank: Uh, you're really not helping, Coach.

• Peggy: Girls should be able to play football, and boys should be able to put on skirts and wigs, and cheer their hearts out. Gay men should be able to come out of the closet and be openly and unapologetically gay, and working mothers should be able to go back to work if that is what they really want.

P.J.: Who's gay in the PTA? Ooh, spicy!

• Joseph: You know, if this was a movie, we'd get to be cheerleaders again. And Kurt Russell would be my dad!

• Bill: Look, Hank. Have you ever seen such a beautifully punted baby?
