Allusions and References

• Fan Fair: Fan Fair, now known as the CMA Music Festival, is an annual music festival held in Nashville, TN. At the time that this episode was conceived, the festival largely took place at the Fairgrounds, where country artists would hold autograph sessions during the day and perform at outdoor concerts at night. The year after this episode aired, the festival was moved from the Fairgrounds and into a cluster of different places around downtown Nashville, including LP Field, Riverfront Park and the Nashville Convention Center.

Quotes

• Peggy: I sent song lyrics to every major country music star and I finally got this from Mr Randy Travis!

Hank: Randy Travis?

Peggy: Oh, okay. (reads) "Dear songwriter, we regret to inform you, blah blah blah, legal reasons, blah blah, never read it, blah, blah, blah..." okay: "Once again, good luck with your songwriting career. Signed Rob Reeders of the firm Reeders and Anatole."

Hank: Huh. Kinda sounds to me like Randy Travis's lawyer sent you a rejection letter.

Peggy: Oh, Hank, they have to say that. Travis loved my lyrics! He called me a songwriter, he said I have a career in front of me, and you know what? He is right.

• Connie: I got you this phone card at the mall. It's good for ten minutes and has Tony Danza's picture on it.

Bobby: Connie, my girl, Buddha broke the mould when he made you.

• Peggy: Good morning, Fan Fair-ers and Fan Fair-ies! I will be calling out various highlights of our fourteen-hour trip to Nashville. Our first stop will be the world's largest fiberglass raven, which is also the largest raven I have ever seen.

• Peggy: I hope you brought your appetites. We are having spa-Peggy and meatballs.

Assistant Pastor Larry: Did she say "spa-Peggy"?

Hank: Well, "spa-Peggy" is a lot like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different... if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

• Kix Brooks: (to Bobby) Well, hey there, cowboy. Now, who's this pretty gal? Your wife?

Luanne: We're not married; we're just sharing a tent. And we're cousins.

• Ronnie Dunn: So every time you call, Mr Superphone tells you that Connie's out with this Chane fella?

Bobby: He said for the first time in her life, Connie is actually happy.

Kix Brooks: Now, sounds like her daddy is using his Chane to yank your chain.

Ronnie Dunn: Kix is right. Heck, I got a teenage daughter at home and every time her boyfriend calls, I say she's out with Brad Pitt.

Luanne: Ooh! I love Brad Pitt! Your daughter is so lucky.

• Randy Travis: If I had a dime for every song a fan sent me, I'd be Dolly Parton rich.

• Randy Travis: Propane salesman. Now that's something that would make a good song.

Hank: I have been saying that for years.

• Luanne: Bobby, I put out two of your mom's apple brown bettys. Now, I'm no mathemagician, but there's only one here now. Did you eat the other one?

Bobby: I can see how you might jump to that conclusion given last night's cupcake incident.

• Hank: Look, I believe you believe you wrote that song and I believe you believe he stole your story, but that doesn't make it true.

Peggy: So I'm a liar? Why would I make this up, Hank?

Hank: Well, Peggy, you've got a pretty high opinion of yourself --

Peggy: Oh, and I should have a low opinion of myself? Is that what you're saying?

Hank: No, no, not at all. It's just that you've done so much in your life, you don't need to take credit for things you haven't done, like writing that song and, you know, the other stuff.

Peggy: What other stuff?

Hank: Well, like dinner. I mean, I think it's cute that you call it spa-Peggy and meatballs, but, you know, it's just noodles and tomato sauce and balls of meat.

Peggy: But then I add just the right amount of sugar and grated parmesano cheese.

Hank: Okay, when we were setting up camp, you said that in your opinion, kindling is the best wood to start a fire.

Peggy: Well, isn't it, Hank?

Hank: Of course it is, but it's not your opinion. It's a known fact. Now you say Randy Travis has taken your childhood and calling it his own. It's getting crazy.

Peggy: So now I'm crazy?

Hank: Well, it's a grey area.

Peggy: I told you the truth, Hank. If I am lying, may God strike me down right now. (beat) Ha!

• Dale: This is mockingbird calling the sparrow.

Bill: Hi, Dale.

Dale: Use code names, Bill. I am mockingbird.

Bill: Sorry, Dale.

• Dale: We ought to wrap the trailer in toilet paper. I think I have some left over from the Billy Ray Cyrus job.

• Peggy: And remember, not one word. As I like to say, "what is done is done."

• Dale: (loudly) Why would he toilet paper and then drive his own trailer into the lake? Puzzling.

• Hank: Now, you'll think about what I said?

Wynonna Judd: I was raised with charcoal, I'll die with charcoal. So back off!

• Randy Travis: And now I'd like to introduce y'all to Hank Hill, a man who taught me just how precious life is. You see, yesterday my trailer fell in the lake and just as I was freeing myself, I saw this loyal fan drowning in the water nearby. And I saved his life. I want to bring him up here to sing with me. Come on up here, Hank.

Hank: Well, I'll punch him this time.

Peggy: No. What's the use?
