Quotes

• Hank: To Travis. May you have as many sick days in retirement as you had in your 40 years working at Strickland Propane. Which is three.

• Peggy: Travis didn't want to take this home?

Hank: No, he's a diabetic. The cake was just for ceremony.

Peggy: Hmm, diabetic, huh? Well, Travis does not know what he's missing.

• Hank: Yep, the new guy starts Monday and I'm kinda nervous for him. It can't be easy coming in as a rookie to a championship team.

Peggy: Now, that's true. 13 years later, Ladybird still has it out for Bobby.

Bobby: What?!

• Hank: So the thing about working here is, we treat all our customers like they're purchasing a Vogner Imperiale, even if they can only afford the Citizen. Oh, and even though the display food is plastic we still like you to wash your hands before handling it.

• Hank: Well, here at Strickland, we try not to say things that are not funny and also disgusting.

Rich: Oh, I crossed the line. I'm sorry. It was just off the cuff. I thought Donna laughed.

Hank: Well, she was being polite. That's why we keep her at the front desk.

• Peggy: Yep, people do love the off-colour jokes. You would not believe how many times the kids ask me how to say "poo-poo" in Spanish. Ugh. It's la tierra de la trasero. The literal translation is "earth of the butt." I made it up, but the kids seem to like it.

Bobby: And how!

• Dale: It's official. I've quit smoking. I'm off the junk.

Hank: Well, good for you, Dale. What brought this on?

Dale: Oh, Nancy's been naggin' me ever since our bed caught fire. I went a little heavy on the aftershave, lit one up, and kaboom. Check out my eyebrows. It's mascara.

• Bill: I can't believe the filth they're putting on TV these days. And they just beam it right into my home. I hit the Pay-Per-View button and there it is, right in front of me!

• Hank: Well, crudeness might be cool everywhere else, but I won't accept it in my home and I certainly won't accept it in my home away from home. From now on at Strickland Propane, "she" is going to say nothing. That's what I said!

• Hank: It's not funny and a waste of a perfectly good nine-volt battery. How do the Chinese let themselves get talked into making these things?

• Dale: Yep, quitting smoking is the best thing I've ever done. Check this out. (does a couple of jumping jacks before wheezing and falls to his knees) A couple of days ago, that would have killed me.

• Bill: Hey, Hank. Don't you want a beer?

Hank: What I want is a professional working environment, where it's hard work that earns your colleagues' respect, not the ability to rhyme your name with a body part. You got that in your cooler, Bill?

Bill: If I check, you're going to make fun of me, right?

• Hank: I don't get it. What is so funny about putting a prophylactic on my Mag-lite?

Peggy: Not the Mag-lite I gave you for Christmas!

Hank: Well, needless to say, it went straight into the garbage.

• Hank: Well, I guess that's a night. Back to the potty factory tomorrow.

Bill: Did Hank get a new job?

• Hank: Okay, team, gather 'round. I'm going to tell you about the new improvements on the Vogner 2800 series. The first thing is that it'll smoke your meat. And it's got a nice big rack for your buns.

Enrique: Or wieners.

Hank: Or wieners. Why not?

Joe Jack: Feels good to say "wieners" again.

Donna: Or "sausage".
