More Notes
  • Earl: Five o' clock Roy. About the time I'd be heading home, back when I had a home.
    Roy: Water under the bridge pally boy. Now it's party time. You and me, two single guys on the prowl, hunting down females with low self-esteem. []
  • Charlene: Mom, are males born disgusting?
    Fran: Well Charlene, that's the old nature-nuture question. I believe they're born somewhat disgusting but need to spend years with each other to fine tune it to a sort of total grossness. []
  • Fran: I just think that if she didn't want to renew her marriage license, she must not have been very happy.
    Earl: Happy? Happy? What does happy have to do with marriage? Look at me. I'm married and I'm not happy. It's Thursday night. I'm supposed to be happy, but I'm not, and you know who's fault that is? Monica, the marriage killer, and she's coming this way, so lock your doors, hide your children, no more Thursday nights for anybody! []
