Everyone needs some extra cash: Oscar tries to supplement his income by becoming Dog River's official census taker, but Hank already has that job. Finding that their abilities are equal, Fitzy makes them both census takers, and they come up with some unusual methods for counting the denizens of Dog River. Wanda attempts to sell meal replacement bars, with Brent as her underling, but finds that the profits are being eaten up. Lacey misunderstands a situation, and thinks that Karen and Davis are 'involved' with more than just their jobs.moreless

      • (Hank is choking on a pickle) Karen: I think he is choking! We should do that thing, uh... the Heinlich Maneouver. Davis: Did you say 'Heinlich Maneouver'? It's Heimlich... with an 'M'. Karen: I did say Heinlich, didn't I? Oh, what a day! Davis: It's spelt with an 'M' but you said it with an 'N'. Karen: I know. What's my deal? Remember that time I said 'irregardlessly'? (they both laugh, while Hank continues to choke)

      • Hank: You saved my life! Brent: Yeah, what's that make it? The eighth time? Hank: First time with a pickle... well, a sweet pickle.

      • (Lacey is flipping through a magazine in Corner Gas) Wanda: Lacey, true or false: your health's important to you. Lacey: Okay, I'll pay for the magazine, you don't have to threaten me!

      • (reading the label on the Organo Bar box) Brent: These don't have nougat in them or anything. It's got soy! That's like the anti-nougat. If nougat and soy were ever to touch, we'd all be vapourized.

      • (Oscar is trying to fix the garden) Emma: So have you figured out how you're going to pay for all this? Oscar: I don't have to pay for it, I can do it myself. I already fixed your shrubs. Emma: Yeah, about that? You planted them upside-down.

      • Fitzy: Normally, we hire Hank to do the census. Hank (to Oscar): I got experience. Fitzy: On the other hand, normally Hank screws it up somehow. Hank: Granted. Fitzy: On the other other hand, Oscar, you're... Oscar. So you can see my dilemma.

      • (eating a soy bar) Brent: Gee willikers, that's tasty. Wanda: Would you like me to teach you some grown-up curse words? I got lots.

      • Hank: Let's get one thing straight; I work alone and I don't need some hot-shot whiz-kid telling me how to count people. Oscar: I know how it goes down. Hank: You don't know how it goes down! You don't even know when it goes down! It just went down, and you didn't even know!

      • Hank: Out here, it's different! You need to forget everything you learned in training! Oscar: What training? Hank: I like your attitude.

      • Brent: Chocolate Organo Bars? How can something chocolate be good for you? It's a trick, isn't it? Are bats going to fly out of this? Wanda: You always think bats are going to fly out of everything. Brent: Wouldn't put it past them... all sleep-upside-down-y.

      • (as Karen leaves) Lacey: And don't worry, I'll be discreet! Brent: Hm... there's a phrase you don't normally hear yelled across a room.

      • Hank: Yup, census... it's a young man's game. You gotta watch your health; I mean, I almost choked on a pickle. Brent: I know, I was there. Hank: No, after that. Brent: You choked on another pickle? Hank: No, same one.

      • Lacey: Hey, still don't believe me about Karen and Davis? Brent: I so don't believe you. My disbelief is like an iron fortress of disbelief... patrolled by Superman. And he doesn't believe you either. Lacey: Check it out. (outside, Davis is giving Karen a present) Brent: Good gravy. Lacey: I guess Superman should spin his webs on back to the Bat Cave. Brent: You don't read a lot of comic books, do you? Brent comments that Lacey doesn't read a lot of comics due to the fact that she's confused three different superheroes: Superman, Spider-Man (who spins his webs), and Batman (who has a Bat Cave).

      • (about Davis & Karen's 'relationship') Hank: But they're like brother and sister! That's like Donny dating Marie! That's gross! Donny and Marie were a brother and sister who had a very popular TV-variety show in the mid-70s. Not only were they brother and sister, but they were also extremely wholesome.

      • The title of this episode is a pun on the Jane Austin novel, Sense & Sensibility (1811).
