Memorable Moments

Quotes

  • Gatekeeper: Who goes there?
Hank: Hank Hill, Assistant Manager, Strickland Propane. I'm here to talk to a Philip Motzinger.
Gatekeeper: Ah, you mean King Philip. But begging your pardon, you cannot pass in that horseless carriage and manner of dress for they do not exist in our year, 1590.
Hank: Why don't you cut the goofy talk and just open the gate?
Gatekeeper: (dropping accent) Look, the Alamo Beer guy was cool about it.
  • King Philip: So you are keeper of the flame.
Hank: Uh, assistant keeper of the flame.
  • Hank: That is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, I tell ye what.
  • Peggy: Men in the Renaissance period often shook wrist to wrist to check for daggers and because they did not use toilet paper.
  • Hank: I've never seen anything like it. Everyone was dressed up and playing make-believe. That part was asinine. But, boy, they got a dragon that burns a thousand gallons of propane a week.
  • Peggy: Now, I'm not a Renaissance expert, but I did substitute-teach Chapter 6 in The World on Parade and let me tell you, you have kept your historical inaccuracies to a minimum.
King Philip: What inaccuracies dost thy mean?
Peggy: I think you meant "dost thou mean." And your British accent is really, really close.
  • Hank: Hey, Peggy. Guess who wants you to work in his kingdom? The king. How about that, huh? Now you actually could help me get that sink.
Peggy: Oh, I could. But will I? Sure!
  • Hank: (to Peggy) Well, I guess if they burn you at the stake, they'll be using my propane. (to King Philip) You'll find it burns witches cleanly and evenly and at a fraction of the cost of natural gas.
  • Serving Wench: This is not what nature intended for my implants.
  • Becky: You know, it's okay to humiliate me when I'm Becky the butter-churner, but not when I'm Becky the person. Oh, by the way, my name's Becky.
  • Hank: Yep.
Bill: Yep.
Boomhauer: Mm-hmm.
Dale: Bleep.
  • Dale: Yeah, you're gonna get killed, Hank. I'd offer to help, but the prime directive forbids me from altering the course of history. If I do, you will win, but the universe'll lose and who wants that? Besides you.
  • Peggy: And if Hank hadn't been there to defend me, I might still be in the stocks. And towards the end there, they were throwing potatoes. Which I had to tell them was more historically accurate. My mouth.
  • Bill: What do you think gonna happen after the joust? You know, when Hank is killed, with Peggy?
Dale: In the Middle Ages there was an orderly procedure for the dispensation of the wife - unlike in today's gynocracy. Ownership goes from the son to the dog to the best friend. Bobby's too young, Ladybird's too old, I already own a wife, Boomhauer doesn't have the time. So, Bill, this could be your in.
Bill: Don't worry, Peggy. I'll take care of you.
Peggy: That is as unnecessary as it is repulsive. Peggy Hill can take care of herself.
  • Peggy: Hey, King Make-Believe! You just got beat by a girl.
  • Dale: The prime directive has been breached! Women's liberation has happened too soon! I must warn the future!
Bill: Take me with you! I hate it here.
