Quotes

• Hank: Now, I'm not going to mention any names, but due to last year's unfortunate kissing incident, mistletoe is banned from this year's Christmas party.

Bill: Peppermint Schnapps makes me sloppy.

• Peggy: I still cannot believe you invited that old woman over for dinner, Hank. That's like putting out a saucer of milk for a stray cat. One lap, you'll never get rid of her.

Hank: All she wants to do is take a walk down memory lane. Besides, most seniors are lactose intolerant.

• Dale: I got it! What if I seal myself in a crate and have me delivered on Christmas day to Nancy? Wait, do they have mail on Christmas? It wouldn't be very merry if I died in some distribution centre.

• Hank: Miss Wakefield, you can't die in my house. You're really not being a good guest, ma'am.

Peggy: I called you a taxi. It's the least we can do, but all we're going to do.

• Hank: Oh, great, she went behind the tree.

Peggy: We don't decorate back there.

• Hank: No one is dying in my house or your house, Dale.

Bill: I'll probably die in my house. Wedged behind the bathroom door, inaccessible to the paramedics. Well, what can you do?

• Hank: It's reasonable not to want someone to die in your house, right?

Peggy: Mm-hmm. We cannot open that door. I mean, if Bill gets wind.

• Bill: That poor old woman. She committed the crime of loving Hank's house too much. Are we not all guilty?

• John Redcorn: Quite honestly, Peggy, I was going to boycott your party to protest Hank's harsh treatment towards our elders, but I found out that Bill is my secret Santa and he always gives cool gifts.

Kahn: Yeah, Bill really go all out.
