Quotes

• Peggy: Thank God it's covered in warning labels because this antifreeze looks delicious.

• Peggy: Hank, we are not getting an HDTV. They are too lifelike. Luanne would be walking into it all the time.

• Hank: Son, remember the day you found out cakes could be made of ice cream? Well, today is gonna be better.

• Luanne: Uncle Hank, Uncle Hank, I made you a mixed tape for the drive! Do not accidentally play side B or you will fall in love.

• Dale: We're so high up because of those damn luxury boxes. They're ruining football. And possibly baseball, too, but it's harder to tell.

• Bill: Wow. This place is fancy. Free beer. Free hot dogs! Free drawer space!

• Hank: Dang it, Dale. Knock it off! If you guys keep acting like jackasses, we'll get kicked out of here. And if we get kicked out, the momentum might shift back to Nebraska and then we lose. And if we lose, Bobby'll hate football and live an unfulfilling life. And then he will die.

Dale: Man, Hank, you've really thought this through.

• Hank: No, no, no, no. You can't stop smelling. When I touched your shoulder and you sniffed the beer, Texas took the lead.

Bobby: You're right! But you're gonna hold this beer under my nose the rest of the game?

Hank: I once watched the entire second half of a game with a roll of tape on my head. And that was just preseason. This is for the Rose Bowl!

• Hank: I can't give a fake play. It's dishonest. It might even be illegal.

• Dale: Snap out of it! We lost! Well, you lost.

Hank: Oh, no!

Bobby: We were so close. Is it okay that I feel like I don't want to live anymore?

Hank: Yes, Bobby, that's normal.

• Peggy: Why?! Why, why me?! I am a good person. When charities send me free address labels, I don't use them. Why?!

• Hank: Okay, they just caught a glimpse of me. They can't identify you if they just catch a glimpse.

Dale: Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster, Jack Ruby. Caught and stuffed, every one.

• Dale: We're in the lion's den, Hank. I must tell you there's a good chance I will betray you before the day is through.

• Peggy: Excuse me. We're looking to buy a new TV. Our old one... gave out.

Luanne: Psst-psst. Here, kitty-kitty. Come here, kitty. Do you mind if I open this window and let this kitty in?

Peggy: And I think we need one with a little less definition.
