Quotes

• Dale: My affection for Miguel is expanding along with my definition of "newsworthy".

• Dale: (answering phone) You do not have permission to record this conversation. Proceed.

• Principal Moss: Now, why don't you tell your father what you and Lori were doing in the janitor's closet?

Joseph: We weren't doing anything! And it wasn't even us! I'm not me!

• Hank: Son, you should only agree to be someone's lookout during a time of war. Now, tell me why Joseph was in the janitor's closet.

Bobby: He was just, um, selling drugs.

Hank: (sighs) That was an awful lie, son. Terrible.

• Hank: You know, Dale, maybe it's time you talked to your boy about, uh, relations, you know, that are sexual in nature.

Bill: I remember when I got my "birds and bees" talk. Well, it was mostly hand gestures. You - You still haven't told me what (makes hand gestures) means, Hank.

• Dale: Okay, fine. I'll... I'll give him the sex talk. Um, before I do that, I - I have some questions myself.

• Dale: Love doesn't even exist. It's just a chemical created in the labs of DuPont. It was an accident while they were developing those spatulas that don't melt.

• Nancy: Maybe I can be the one who figures out what's irritating all those bowels.

• Nancy: Want me to get you some milk?

Dale: No. I'll just have my cereal with tears.

• Bill: Dale forgot he thinks club cards are a way for the government to identify those who value a bargain!

• Hank: Well, lighten up, Dale. You're just distracted by Joseph. The other day I got so worked up by Bobby, I let the gas get so low that the warning light came on.

• Joseph: (on the phone) Yeah, he's chaperoning me to and from school now. It's so embarrassing.

Dale: Are you talking to Lori again after I told you not to?

Joseph: No! Sorry, Lori. Go on.

• Joseph: My dad almost killed us. It's so embarrassing.

• Dale: I am going crazy! Or is that crazy talk? Either way, there's a crazy element.

• Dale: Okay, my symptoms include: forgetfulness, repeating things, being told I'm crazy... Oh, repeating things.

• Stethoscope: Please take our survey: "What's wrong with me?" Sponsored by Azteca Pharmaceuticals. First question: Are you paranoid?

Dale: Who wants to know?

Stethoscope: Did you reply "Who wants to know?"

Dale: (shamefully) Yes.

• Dale: Well, I finally figured out why I can't relate to Joseph. It's because... I have dementia.

Bill: Oh, my!

Dale: I know. Who knows where I caught it or how long I've had it. I'm assuming that's from the dementia.

• Dale: I almost killed my son! I'm not supposed to be the one who kills him. The crushing weight of the world is.

• Bill: Dale! I hate seeing you like this. I always considered you my brother, Dale.

Dale: And I always considered you my neighbour, Bill!

• Dale: Please, remember me as a person who once remembered things.

• Dale: "All the way"? That's only for married people. And only for a while.

• Hank: You'd think something so complicated would be a little more pleasurable to read.

• Doctor: Please state your name.

Dale: Dale Gribble... on Earth. On Pleiades, it's unpronounceable.

• Doctor: Uh, Mister Gribble, do you believe people conspire against you?

Dale: People. Animals. Insects. 'Specially the insects. You don't even want to know what the bark beetle has to say about me.

• Dale: (to Joseph) I know you know a thing or two about sex. You're old enough and you often forget to delete your Internet history.

• Joseph: I hope you get out soon.

Dale: I will. Due to budget cuts, they redefined what constitutes insanity. Guess who squeaked by?
