Memorable Moments

• After having his glasses break, Hank wanders into what he thinks is an officer, oblivious that it's a biker wearing a purple thong.

• Hank calls out to Pepperoni Sue, which causes Lumpy to reflexively reach into his jacket. Before he realises who it is, you can see the salesman they were talking to get terrified and run off into the back room.

Quotes

• Hank: Peggy won't let me go to Houston.

Bill: Are you two having problems? Irreconcilable differences, maybe?

Dale: As the only happily married man out here may I suggest marriage counselling with Doctor Tim Rast? "Tim Rast will make your marriage last." I came up with that slogan during one of our sessions while Nancy was jabbering about something.

• Dale: No matter what, he always takes my side. He knows who signs Nancy's name on his cheques.

• Peggy: Oh, Hank, don't worry, I'll handle everything. I'll call tomorrow to make an appointment.

Hank: I already did. Friday at 4:30.

Peggy: Huh. So, you made an appointment without consulting me. Well, at least we know the first thing we'll discuss.

• Hank: We're going to buy his and hers motorcycles and see America, excluding California.

• Bobby: I can't believe you guys bought a motorcycle. Evel Knievel had a Harley and a cape and a jewelled walking stick.

Hank: It was a cane and it was because he had a crushed pelvis.

Bobby: And a cape!

• Bill: Can I take the blindfold off? I don't want any of your treasure. I just enjoy the time we spend together.

Dale: Me, too! That's why I didn't gag you.

• Hank: Whenever we go to the hardware store she gets to give me a 20-minute hug and I get to go to the hardware store.

• Bill: What is it?

Dale: A mummified house cat. It must have belonged to the pharaoh.

Bill: (reading tag) Hmm. "Mister Boots". But that was your cat, Dale.

Dale: Impossible. Mister Boots was white and fluffy, and feisty and fun-loving. This is just a skeleton. Wait a minute. Nancy told me that he ran away.

• Peggy: You know what? I am going to the Greyhound station to buy myself a ticket to Arlen. I'm sure they will let me sit anywhere I want on the bus.

Hank: You can't sit in the bus driver's seat. You can't even talk to him.
