Allusions and References
- When seeing the flowers, Boomhauer says something about Algernon, a reference to the 1958 novel Flowers for Algernon. He then mentions Cliff Robertson, alluding to the television adaptation "The Two Worlds of Charlie Gordon" from The United States Steel Hour.
- Sally asks Peggy is she is also a fan of the science fiction series Babylon 5.
- Hank sings the theme song to Green Acres.
Memorable Moments
- Hank's relief in Peggy's decision not to put the new gnome in the front yard changes when she puts it in their bedroom. Hank pauses undressing when he feels the gnome looking at him, leading him to move into the closet to continue undressing.
Quotes
- Hank: Why would anyone do drugs when they could just mow a lawn?
- Hank: I tell you what. How about we repaint the kitchen? You can pick out any shade of white you want: eggshell, ivory, Swiss coffee. Sky's the limit.
- Hank: You know, that bike's not street legal.
- Dale: All right. Joseph, get off the street!
- Hank: No, not on the lawns!
- Dale: Boy, Hank, you sure got a lot of arbitrary rules.
- Dale: Gee, Hank, if your wife wants to screw something up, why can't she just stick to Bobby?
- Dale: Congratulations, Bill. You no longer have the worst yard in Arlen. Peggy's travelling circus of death has seen to that.
- Peggy: Excuse me, do you know of a plant that can withstand over-watering, inadequate fertilisation, and perhaps some over-zealous pruning?
- Tim: Yeah, they're called weeds.
- Luanne: Ooh! An estate sale. Pull over. Dead people have tons of clothes that they don't want anymore.
- Bill: Gosh, Hank, what will people think when they see that thing out here?
- Hank: God willing, they'll think Peggy's a widow.
- Hank: Well, it's just that people are starting to, you know, say nasty things about our house.
- Peggy: Like what? What are they saying?
- Hank: Well, like yesterday, I heard the FedEx guy call our house "the one with the gnome out front."
- Peggy: Please, officer, tell me you'll catch the bastards who did this.
- Cop: Honestly, ma'am, there's not much I can do. Teenagers are always stealing these things and doing God knows what to them. If we ever do find your Winklebottom, there's a good chance you're not gonna want him back.
- Hank: I need a gnome. And not just any gnome. I need a Winklebottom.
- Salesman: A Winklebottom? Why don't you ask me to move a rainbow?
- Hank: Ugh. I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or just weird.
- Hank: I really need this particular gnome.
- Blanche: Who doesn't? I bet this joker doesn't even know where gnomes come from. Or how they say good night to each other. Or what it means when they shave their moustache and not their beard.
- Hank: All right, you got me. I'm not a dork, I sell propane. Truth is, I hate gnomes. I really, really hate them. But my wife loves 'em. And as beautiful as my lawn and my galvanised steel rain gutters are, they're no match for my wife's happiness. I'd do anything to see her happy again. Even if it means putting this character in my yard.
- Salesman: Okay, Blanche, the gnome is yours. (scans card) Huh. Declined. You're maxed out.
- Blanche: Put it on layaway!
- Hank: I'll pay cash.
- Salesman: Come back and see us again.
- Hank: Uh, yeah, I don't think so.
- Salesman: I was talking to Figgleforth.
