Quotes

• Hank: Dang it, Bill. You were supposed to buy the beer!

Bill: I went to the Mega Lo Mart. They were all out of Alamo.

Hank: Did you look hard?

Bill: If you guys think I'm so stupid that I can't tell when a store is out of beer, you're welcome to go there and see for yourself.

(cut to the guys looking at an empty Mega Lo Mart shelf)

Hank: Huh. They are out of Alamo.

Clerk: The whole state's out of Alamo. (to Bill) I already told you that this morning.

Bill: Well, if you had come back to the alley with me like I had asked.

• Bobby: Hey, mom, remember that Alamo hotline we called when I got the pop-top stuck on my big toe?

Peggy: It should be easier to call this time without you screaming in my ear.

• Peggy: I've never been indignant in Spanish before.

• Peggy: You know, Theresa, this Alamo mug and Alamo hat and Alamo key chain get me to thinking. What has happened to all the Alamo Beer?

• Peggy: I have never had a problem keeping a secret. Ask any of the gay teachers I've worked with, which you couldn't because I would not tell you who they were.

• Peggy: I am sorry, Hank. Alamo trusts me not to tell you their secrets. Just as you trust me not to tell them about your narrow urethra. And believe me, I had the perfect opportunity.

• Peggy: You can't tell the guys and you can't go to Mexico.

Hank: All right, fine. But you can't stop me from dreaming about it.

Peggy: Do not tell me what I can and cannot do.

• Bill: I'll hold my breath if you don't tell me!

Dale: He'll pass out before he dies. He always does.

• Hank: Sorry, guys. I promised Peggy I wouldn't say anything.

Dale: Who would have thought Hank would put some flash-in-the-pan wife before 30 years of friendship?

• Peggy: What in Carmen Sandiego is going on in Mexico?

• Peggy: All of these calls were from Mexicans. Now, their Spanish wasn't great, but I was able to gather that they got sick after drinking Alamo.

• Theresa: You've earned an "Alamo Can Do" pin. Collect five of these and you get a mini flashlight.

Peggy: A flashlight? Wow! I will think of you every time something falls behind the couch.

• Theresa: It seems that a tiny bit of soap got into some of the machinery during the production run we sent to Mexico. It's our fault for wanting to give people the cleanest beer they can buy.

• Dale: I don't mean to sound racist, but this is by far the best selection of beans I have ever seen.

• Dale: Step on it, Bill! I don't know which way it's coming out, but it's coming out!

• Hank: I know you're just trying to do your job, but there is no way you were trained to deal with a customer as dissatisfied as I am.

• Hank: For the last 20 years, Alamo has been a part of my family, like a favourite uncle who lives in the refrigerator.

• Konrad Meinhoffer IV: Now, I am not a litigious man. That's why I have lawyers.

Hank: Are you threatening me?

Konrad Meinhoffer IV: I don't threaten people. That's why I have security guards.
