Quotes

• Dale: Just so you know, I'm willing to drink beer you sat on. I'm just not willing to reach for it.

• Cotton: She ain't fat. I gots her knocked up!

• Cotton: We was usin' four layers of protection and my men still got through.

Hank: Please, dad. There's a child present.

Cotton: Oh, she's my wife, Hank. She was there when it happened. Ain't that right, babycakes?

Didi: Um, if you say so, Cotton.

• Peggy: You know, at your age, Cotton, having a child will be such a blessing.

Cotton: I'll be dead. Pass the beans.

• Didi: Cotton's missing. He's run away.

Hank: What? Are you sure?

• Hank: But what if I keep trying and it, you know, it doesn't happen?

Cotton: Well, then, you had the fun of tryin', boy! I gots to have that talk with you.
