All my favorite quotes are actually two-liners: Peggy: Look, they got lights up so they can work at night, just like the Dallas Cowboys! Hank: The Dallas Cowboys would respect a man’s lawn! Buddha-Sec: Your Momma so stinky, she smell like propane. Hank: Now you’ve gone too far! Propane is colorless and odorless. What you smell is another gas, added for your protection. Khan: I use Mesquite. Makes the burgers taste like wood. Hank: Well, I use propane. Makes the burgers taste like burgers. Hank: Do you only have tofu here? Health-Food Store Guy: No, we also have faux-fu for the tofu intolerant And my favorite exchange: Hank: I need an L-pipe. Megalo-Mart Kid: This is an L-pipe. Hank: No, that’s a straight pipe. An L-pipe is shaped like an L. Megalo-Mart Kid: This is shaped like an L. Hank: Heh, okay, I mean it’s shaped like a capital L. Megalo-Mart Kid: All pipes are straight. Hank: Well, that’s just silly. Those U-pipes right there aren’t straight. How do you explain that? Megalo-Mart Kid: Those aren’t pipes. ---

Khan: I cried river of tears for Buckley! Hank: Why didn’t Boomhauer ever do anything like this to us? Bill: Because Boomhaeur is a _saint_. Lucky: I slipped on pee-pee at the Costco. GEORGE FOREMAN: How about carrying my grill in your shop? HANK: Oh, sorry, but we have a strict policy about that. No novelty grills. GEORGE FOREMAN: NOVELTY GRILLS? HANK: Yeah. No offence, but your grill is kinda like an iron. GEORGE FOREMAN: You’re callin’ my grill an iron? I’ve been hit below the belt before, but nothing like this! HANK: I think it’s a great product for dieters, or little girls who want to play barbecue, but you can’t compare it to a propane-powered grill. GEORGE FOREMAN: FIGHT’S ON! HANK: What? No! GEORGE FOREMAN: I said, fight’s on! What’s the matter, smellin’ all that propane cause you brain damage? That’s what it does, you know! HANK: No! That is not accurate! Those studies were all done on sick monkeys! And at least my grill isn’t sold in housewares! Dale: I let Joseph listen to whatever he wants. Of course, I’m afraid of Joseph. BOBBY: Better honk, Dad. It won’t feel like Christmas Day if we miss the Little Drummer Boy. HANK: I’m doing the best I can, and – wait a minute, you’re being sarcastic. You have no interest at all in seeing that little boy play his heart out, do you? BOBBY: Nope. ---

All from memory: HANK: If you weren’t my son, I’d hug you. HANK: Big Tex: a man of the people. I knew it! HANK (to Jimmy Carter): You mean my Dad wouldn’t annihilate me?! HANK: Head to feet, every thing’s neat.\* Feet to head, everyone’s dead. BOBBY (to vending machine stocker): I’m feeling sophisticated.

While out hunting, Joseph & Dale get their ears blasted by audio feedback in the earphones Dale got to help them hear approaching deer… Dale: Darn Russian-made military surplus! Never work the way they’re supposed to! Joseph: Or maybe they’re working exactly the way they’re supposed to and have just signaled just signaled our position to Russian subs in the harbor. Dale _looking at him with pride and love_: That’s my boy. Another Dale-ism: Those ants will gather all over you & sting you all at once. That’s how the killed L. Ron Hubbard. AND all these from the “Dale riding-mower abduction episode” Dale: I thought you were my friend. Hank: Well, uh, Dale… dang it, Dale! I am your friend! I’m the best friend a weirdo like you could ever hope to have! Dale to SWAT team: You decide shoot me, I want Bobby Hill to do it. He’ll take me down clean. _Bobby reaches for SWAT-man’s rifle, but is waved off_ Later when Dale sees Hank was wearing a bullet-proof vest… Dale: You thought I was going to shoot you! Hank: Well yeah, but I thought you’d shoot yourself right after. Dale: I would have, too. ---

**John Redcorn** : But Nancy, maybe you should go. **Nancy Gribble** : What?? No! I have an appointment with you… for my migraines. **John Redcorn** : I know, it’s just that I’ve healed you three to five nights a week for many years. I could really use a night off. \<\<\<_later, same episode…_\>\>\>\> **John Redcorn** : Dale, you’ve become a true friend. Which is why it would be… unprofessional of me to go on seeing your wife. **Nancy** : I understand. **Dale** : Wait, I guess I could treat you. I mean, I’m not a licensed New Age healer, but I think I’ve walked in on you guys often enough to know what goes on in there. _\<\<\<\\>\>\>_ **Dale** I was getting a weird vibe in there.
