Quotes

• Bobby: Dad, a man took pictures of me.

Hank: What?!

• Hank: If you run that ad in your paper, my son could never go back to school. You've seen his picture. You can tell he's not very good with his fists.

• Hank: I'm not saying Bobby shouldn't be proud. I'm just saying he should keep it to himself.

• Hank: My God, Peggy, I feel like I've died and gone to New York.

• Hank: It's really our fault, Peggy. Somewhere along the line, we forgot to teach Bobby shame. I guess we can't count on the schools for everything.

• Hank: (catching Buckley and Luanne in bed together) I'm in a crisis situation here. I gotta go find Bobby. You two take turns kicking each other's asses.

• Bobby: How did you know this was gonna happen?

Hank: Well, I just know something about human nature, son. If you put teenagers and husky boys and doughnuts all in the same place, you're just asking for trouble.
