Trivia

The Show

Goofs

• In the establishing shot of the family outside the deli, Bobby is in a very odd stance, appearing to be frozen in mid-walk.

• The colour of Joseph's bike switches between blue and green throughout the episode.

Quotes

• Hank: "New York style deli?" They think that's a selling point?

• Luanne: What's a Kay-nish?

Peggy: Honey, it's pronounced "nish". The "k" is silent. And I have no idea.

• Hank: "Tongue"? They're trying to feed us all the animal parts they're supposed to throw away!

• Joseph: I have tried tripping her. I've hid her lunch. I'm running out of ways to show her that I like her.

Bobby: I assume you tried throwing utility balls at her head.

Joseph: I can't ask her to the dance unless I know she likes me. God, you are lucky. Connie likes you, so after the dance, you know you're getting a kiss. And then you'll have a girlfriend. And then I'll be your nerdy friend who doesn't have a girlfriend. I'm gonna go whack Charisse in the butt with a shovel!

• Peggy: I think something's wrong. He's not eating his supper and you saw what just happened when I tried to talk to him about the dance.

Hank: A 12-year-old boy running off to play rather than talk about prom dresses with his mom sounds pretty normal to me. Normal. (chuckles) What do you know?

• Connie: Your toe will be better by next week.

Bobby: Or it could be worse. I only know that I'll be praying for it to get better so we can to to the dance. But praying usually doesn't work.

• Luanne: Oh, thank God! There'll be ice again.

(phone rings)

Hank: Luanne, I could use a hand.

Luanne: Now you put it in the freezer!

• Hank: Bobby, what did I tell you about the funny walks?

• Doctor Tennenbaum: What you need to do is quit pumping your boy full of purine-rich foods.

Peggy: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. And those are?

Doctor Tennenbaum: Preserved fish like anchovies or herrings and organ meats. You know, kidneys, hearts, liver.

Hank: The boy's not a ghoul. He doesn't eat that stuff.

Bobby: Is there liver in chopped chicken liver?

• Bobby: (receiving cane from doctor) Does it come with a hat?!

• Dale: The Internet is full of pictures of each and every one of you. 'Course, you'd know that if you ever visited my website.

• Hank: At least Peggy's excited about it. She's talking about putting on earrings.

Bill: Uh, what else was she thinking about putting on, Hank? Pumps?

• Peggy: Now I know what Mona Lisa's husband felt like when he headed off to that museum.

• Hank: I specifically asked Bill not to give him that hat.

• Bobby: I'll be happy to entertain any questions. Yes, you.

Connie: Will your toe be better in time for the dance?

Bobby: I'm sorry, Connie. I was pointing to the gentleman behind you.

Dooley: Answer the question.

Bobby: Uh, I'm sorry. I was pointing in front of you to Joseph.

Joseph: Are you taking Connie to the dance?

Bobby: I'm sorry. I think we've run out of time.

• Kahn: There nothing funny about this, you hillbilly moron! Can't you see the juxtaposition of Hank's clogged-up colon with that skinny starving kid make deep statement about something? They cast stones at your colon from ignorance, Hank. Your ass is genius!

• Peggy: Caring for Bobby is nothing to be embarrassed about.

Connie: Oh, yeah? He named his swollen toe "Madame" and she talks with a French accent.

Peggy: I did not know that. Well, it's still not as bad as seeing your husband's colon on the wall.

Connie: I know. It's hanging in our den.

• Peggy: I see by your face you did not know about the Rascal.

• Bobby: Karl, give me a plate of kippers and onions!

Karl: I don't know, Bobby. Don't you think you've had enough?

Bobby: Well, I'll tell you when I've had enough!

• Minh: You got your pepper spray?

Connie: Yes, mom.

Kahn: Use it on those hillbillies no matter what. I want to see that empty when you come home.

• Connie: What about your gout?

Bobby: My dad says when you really want something, you play through the pain.
