Lacey: You want some decaf? Brent: Decaf? The caf is what I need. I'm not just jonesing for some hot brown liquid. I need the caf! Lacey: You need therapy. (Lacey gives Brent a glass of milk) Brent: This isn't caf. It's for a calf.
Brent (to Emma): You quit your vice, and I'll quit mine. Wanda: What, belching? Brent: That's not a vice, it's a gift.
Karen: Nothing ever happens here. Davis: Nothing is what the town expects from us, and that's exactly what we deliver.
Hank: What's that? Lacey: It's a late birthday present from my cousin. Hank: Oh, I'm sorry to hear about your cousin. Lacey: The present's late, my cousin's fine.
Karen: Okay, Hank, you get to come on one partol, but remember that if... Hank: Shotgun! (Karen looks at Davis, who shrugs) Davis: He called it. Hank: Oh, speaking of that... Karen: You're not getting a gun! Davis (quietly, to Hank): If anything goes down, we'll share mine.
Oscar (to Lacey): You have any perogies? Only they're not really called 'perogies,' they're 'perohi'. (he laughs) Yeah, that's Ukrainian! Emma: Master linguist. Oscar (shocked): Watch your mouth!
Karen: Lacey's car won't start! Davis: Let's roll! Karen: Shotgun! Davis: Grow up, Karen.
(a man is lying on the sidewalk, unconscious, while a crowd stands by and looks on) Man: Is anyone here a doctor? Ben Mulroney: No, but I'm Ben Mulroney. (the crowd gasps in awe) Man: Let him through.
Brent: Do you think there's such a thing as caffeine gum? Lacey: I could let you chew on a used coffee filter. Brent: See, you say that, but I know you won't.
Paul: Maybe it's none of my business, but are you allowed to drink on duty? Karen: Who's to say I am on duty? ...My partner drove off and left me here. Paul: Well, are you getting paid? Karen: Yeah, but I'm not doing anything. Paul: Sweet! Getting paid for not doing anything! I sorta respect that.
Brent: I am totally brain-dead today. Oscar: Hey. Brent: At least I'm not alone.
Davis: You're just mad 'cause I made fun of your hairdo. Karen: You didn't make fun of my hairdo. Davis: I'll do it later. Get off my back.
Emma (about coffee): You're not supposed to have more than three cups. Brent: Three cups? That's for pre-schoolers or something. And they get nap time. Lacey: Everybody deserves a vice, Emma. Brent: Exactly. Lacey: Sex, drugs, coffee...let Brent have at least one of those!
Brent: You knit! It's a compulsion. You knit like it's going out of style. Which it actually did, some time ago.
Brent: Quitting coffee is hard; quitting knitting is easy...and fun to say. Quittin' knittin', quittin' knittin'....
Brent Butt and Paul Mather won a 2006 Canadian Screenwriters Award in the category of "Best Comedy or Variety Writing" for this episode.
Hank: Look at this, I got my whole day mapped out: 1 p.m., hang out at Corner Gas; 2 p.m., eat chips... Wanda: That thing's turned you into a real go-getter. Hank: ...4 p.m., hang out at Corner Gas... Wanda: Oh, um, can you rebook to 5? That's when I get off. Hank: Oh, I don't know. I don't think it's a good idea to keep bouncing Corner Gas around the schedule. Hank's last line refers to the real life situation regarding the TV schedule for Corner Gas. In its second season, CTV "bounced it around the schedule", mostly due to programming conflicts with American Idol, changing not only the time it was shown, but the day as well.
