Quotes

• Bobby: Gum's still here, Joseph. That's 37 days and counting.

• Bobby: Hey, what's Amy doing?

Joseph: Maybe she's giving everyone pictures of herself so we can take them home and stare at 'em.

• Hank: Why do movie stars think we want to watch them play poker?

• Bobby: Mom, dad, I need some money to get a new pair of jeans.

Hank: Well, what happened to your old pair? Did you make cut-offs again?

• Hank: So Bobby wants me to spend a hundred dollars on some idiotic jeans that already look 20 years old. Are kids today so lazy they can't break in a pair of pants?

Dale: Rhetorical question. Not grounds for conversation. Moving on.

• Kahn: Don't be such a cheapskate, Hank Hill. You and Peggy made him look like you. The least you could do is buy him nice pants.

• Bill: If I had a son, I'd buy him whatever he wanted. Of course, he'd probably end up walking all over me. But we'd have fun for awhile.

• Joseph: This job has made us so dorky, I want to kick my own ass!

• Bill: So, I saw Bobby leaving for work pretty early this morning. Not that I was watching your house.

• Dale: Why does it always take a hardware store to get you to open up, Hank?

• Joseph: Look at this! That guy just gave me two dimes and a third dime.

• Hank: Huh. I do like sourdough.

Peggy: I told you you did.

• Peggy: No, Bobby. You shouldn't spend your hard-earned money on us.

Bobby: But I made it and I can spend it on whatever I want. Right, dad?

(Hank takes a bite as he turns his head)

Peggy: Your father is very proud.

• Peggy: (sticking her head of the moving truck) I can see why Ladybird likes this!

• Hank: You're a bum! Is this how you paid for our dinner? How could you? How could you disrespect steak?

• Bill: If you're gonna beg for money, you have to be crazy, drunk, or disabled. Or one of those guys who paints himself silver and moves like a robot.

• Joseph: Man, if anybody finds out we're not bums, we're so not gonna be cool anymore.

• Bobby: Dang it. What am I gonna do? How am I supposed to take Sandy to the movies when I don't have any money?

Joseph: I wish I could help you out, but my dad found my money and bought stuff. Does Sandy like cigarettes?

• Hank: Have you seen Bobby? Ladybird's not going to wash herself.

Peggy: Finally, something your precious dog can't do.

• Hank: Hey, Kahn. Is Bobby doing homework with Connie?

Kahn: What you think, he over here begging for answers? (laughs) Ah, but seriously, Hank, I see him on street corner downtown.

Hank: Dang it.

Kahn: Uh, you may not have perspective on this, being hillbilly redneck, but it bring shame on your family.

• Bobby: I don't know what a vasectomy is, but if you want to reverse it, here's a coupon.

• Hank: I wouldn't do that. If I were you, I would get out of here right now.

Derek: Or - Or what? You'll tell my mom?

Hank: No, I'll kick your ass up one side of the street and down the other.

• Hank: Hey, there, Spongy. Good to see you got your old spot back.

Dale: Congratulations. You're back on top. Kinda.
