  • Karen: If you want some help, I like to cook.

    Karen's penchant for cooking was established in the season 3 episode, Mail Fraud. edit »
  • Hank: Hey, check it out!
    Wanda: I'm not looking. Last time you said, "Check this out!", you had a boil on your neck. edit »
  • Lacey: I don't think of you as 'outdoorsy'.
    Brent: What? I'm outdoorsy. I go outdoors, in doors, through doors. I'm crazy-doorsy.
    Oscar: We go every year; we love it. Me and the boy.
    Brent: Yeah, we love to camp, me and the dad.
    Lacey: That doesn't have the ring of truth to it.
    Brent: Okay, Mom makes us.
    Lacey: There's the ring. edit »
  • Davis: Wish I could go to Owl Lake.
    Oscar: Well, you can, just not with us. edit »
  • Wanda: Wait. Are you saying that you've had a bad hair day, every day, for 20 years?
    Hank: At least! Why do you think I've always got that hat on my head?
    Wanda: To muffle the voices? edit »
  • (Oscar and Brent are arguing)
    Emma: It's nice to see you two having a little father-son time.
    Brent: 'Nice' as in 'heart-warming', or 'nice' as in 'gladiator blood sport'?
    Emma: A little of both. Heart-warming blood sport. edit »
  • Brent: Who do you think we are? Opie, and ...Opie's dad, the Sheriff... Matlock?

    Brent is referring to the character Opie Taylor from The Andy Griffith Show in the 1960s, and his father, Sheriff Andy Taylor, played by Andy Griffith, who also played the title role in the mid-80s to mid-90s drama, Matlock, who was a lawyer. edit »
  • Wanda: Lacey and I were arguing over whose job was harder, so we switched.
    Hank: You mean like on Gilligan's Island or something?
    Wanda: No, not like on Gilligan's Island; they didn't have jobs on Gilligan's Island.
    Hank: Well, they did in that episode where the Professor made a bamboo movie camera and Ginger made a movie. An actor's a job, so's a bamboo-movie-camera-maker.
    Wanda: Ah, Hank, grow up. An actor's not a job.

    The episode of Gilligan's Island that Hank is referring to could be from the second season, Castaways Pictures Presents, where the denizens use movie cameras that washes up on shore. While the Professor didn't make the camera out of bamboo, this was a common occurence in many of the episodes, where he would make radios, cameras, and other non-essential items out of bamboo, shells, and reeds. edit »
