Hank: Nobody chews gum from a machine any more. It's all 'Arctic Freeze' or 'Cinnamon Swirling Punch'. Hey, remember what chewing gum was like when we were kids? (cut to... Hank and Lacey as children, sitting and chewing gum) Little Hank: Good gum balls, eh, Lacey? (cut back to present) Lacey: Hmmm. I didn't grow up here, Hank. Hank: Who am I thinking of?
Emma: Terry wants my help digging a well. Brent: Oh, I didn't know you could run an auger. Emma: I can't. Well, I know it sounds strange, but I can find water. Brent: That doesn't sound so strange. So can I... (points at the cooler full of bottled water) See?
(pointing out a sign that says "Bernie's House is for Sale") Lacey: You know you live in a small town when people don't even write their phone numbers on the board. Davis: Well, you don't want to overwhelm the buyers with details.
Oscar: What makes you think you can make any money? Hank: Well, there's this old saying: 'Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. But teach a man to feed a fish, and 'round 'round we go.'
Karen: So... what's new? Brent: Nothing much. Oh, my mom's a witch. Karen: Oh, I know; the other day she just about bit my head off. Brent: No, I said 'witch'. A water witch. She can find water using sticks.
Wanda: (to Lacey) It's a great house, but I should tell you, there's another offer on it. Now, personally, I would rather see you in it than them. Davis: You said the same thing to me fifteen minutes ago! Wanda: I told you to wait in the car!
Oscar: What are you doing? Hank: Hanging out at Corner Gum. Oscar: We're not going to make money standing around, reading comics! Hank: Works for Brent.
Oscar: (to Karen) How would you like to show the kids how to blow bubbles at Corner Gum? Hank: Yeah, but nothing fancy, just a good, old-fashioned bubble. Don't be making poodles, or giraffes or anything.
Brent: How about you, Miss? Do you need any water found today? Jennifer: Oh, no thanks Emma: That's you on the make? No wonder I have no grandchildren.
Emma: (about Brent) I think it's kind of spooky, isn't it? He's like a man-witch. Hank: Is that like a Sloppy Joe? Brent: Oh, I could go for one of those! Emma: Maybe not a man-witch, more like a warlock. Hank: Warlock? You mean like Harry Potter? That's awesome! Emma: Brent's the son of a witch! Hank: That means you're a witch. Brent: She's a witch! (everyone looks)
Wanda: Congratulations, you two! Here are the keys to your new house. Oh, and, here's my card; I hope you'll consider me when you re-sell it. Lacey: This is a reminder for a dental appointment. Wanda: Well, it's got my number on it.
Lacey: You've just got the post-purchase jitters. Davis: Yeah, I guess all couples go through this. Lacey: We're not a couple. But yes, and this house is great! Good roof, new plumbing, great kitchen... okay? Davis: Yeah, you're right, this is kind of a charming little place. Lacey: Oh, yeah, we're going to flip this piece of crap so fast.
Karen: So that's all I am? A pretty face? Hank: No. You're a pretty face behind a big bubble.
Hank: We're making a killing! At this rate, you can retire tomorrow! Oscar: I am retired, you idiot! Hank: Yeah, well, how would you like to retire again?
(making fun of Brent) Wanda: Ooooh! Jennifer! Brent has a crush on Jennifer! (seriously) Is she in the market for a new house? Brent: Jeez, you gotta let that go. You're not even a real estate agent. Not a real real estate agent. You're like a fake estate agent.
Davis: Imagining our kids... playing in the yard... Lacey: Our kids? Davis: Oh, I'm not saying our kids. I'm saying the kids that you're going to have, and the kids that I'm going to have... separately. Lacey: Okay, Davis, we need to talk. Davis: Oh, don't tell me you're not having kids! Who are my kids going to play with? Lacey: We are not having kids, okay? I mean, maybe someday I might, if I meet Mr. Right, or even just a nice, stable guy... My point is, we are not doing anything in this house, we are flipping this house, you got it?
Woman: You should be ashamed of your gum. Karen: But my gum is fine! Hank: Yeah, sure... if you like hurting puppies. Karen: That's not true! I like puppies! Hank: You hear that? She likes eating puppies! (the children gasp) Karen: This is slander. Oscar: Whatever... bunny-kicker.
House Buying Husband: Is the basement finished? Wanda: With a little work, make a great rec room. Davis: Yeah, you could barely tell that anything horrific happened down there. (buyers look startled) Oh, don't worry, it was a long time ago. And as far as violent crimes go, you can hardly see the stains. Wanda: (laughing nervously) He's a real kidder... and a pathological liar. Anyways, you know what is a crime? The size of the bedroom closets!
Lacey: She wouldn't know Spanish gold if a Spaniard walked up to her, handed her some saying 'Here, have some gold.' Wanda: All right, listen up, you psychos! Get it together, or get yourself another real estate agent. Lacey: You mean a ~real~ real estate agent? Wanda: Hey, I'm as real as it gets without actually having any credentials.
(about Oscar's new gum machines at the Foo Mart) Karen: Well, you can't beat the prices. Some of this stuff's only ten cents. Hank: (putting a gum ball in his mouth) Yeah, but the gum tastes lousy. Oscar: That was a rubber ball, Jackass. Hank: Score!
Davis: What smells like sewage? Wanda: It's just sewage. Harmless sewage. It's a good thing... keeps the raccoons away. Pregnant Wife: You have raccoons? Lacey: No, the sewage keeps them away.
(to Lacey, about Davis) Wanda: Can I bring them through, or is Stephen King going to tell more bed-time stories? Wanda refers to Davis as 'Stephen King' because Davis had told the couple that previously viewed the house horror stories about what had happened in the house. Stephen King (Sept. 21, 1947 - ) is an multi-million selling author who has written horror books, beginning with "Carrie" (1974).
(about Brent) Emma: Maybe not a man-witch, more like a warlock. Hank: Warlock? You mean like Harry Potter? That's awesome! Harry Potter is the young wizard featured in a seven-book series by J.K. Rowling (July 31, 1965 - ), beginning with "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" (1997) and ending with "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" (2006).
The title of the episode, Top Gum is a play on the movie title Top Gun (1986), starring Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer, about ace fighter pilots.
