      • Dale (Falls to the ground in his armour and can't get up): Bill, roll me over so I can kick your ass. Actually just move your ass closer.

      • Dale: Sure, Peggy can make a metal man, but I'm living it!

      • (Dale is marching down the alley in his suit of armor as people stare) Dale: Soft shells - cower before me!!

      • Bill: You know what I never understood? Why a pretty girl would model naked and let someone paint her. And if she'd do that for just anyone....

      • Hank: (to art gallery owner) I need to buy a piece of public art, about three feet across, five or seven feet tall. Doesn't have to be real arty; no nudity, of course. Maybe something with a lion or a bald eagle - something that says America!

      • Buck Strickland: They passed this new public art law. Got to beautify one part of town before they let you uglify another. Keeps things nice and even.

      • (Someone in a suit of armor walks into the alley and opens the cage on the front. When the smoke clears it's revealed to be Dale) Dale: They were having a going out of business sale and guess what I bought? (Hank Stares at Dale silently) Dale: A suit of armor!

      • Don Quixote's Authentic Spanish Cuisine and Karaoke The restaurant Dale buys his suit of armor from is named after the main character in the famous novel Don Quixote de la Mancha by Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. The story follows a man, Alonso Quixano, who becomes convinced he is a knight named Don Quixote and begins a quest for adventure - at one point, he attacks windmills he imagines are giants.

      • Peggy: Stupid da Vinci with his stupid classical training. Leonardo da Vinci is probably best-known for painting the "Mona Lisa." He was a prolific Renaissance artist and inventor.

      • Title: Ceci N'est Pas Une King of the Hill
        The title is a reference to a painting by the French artist Rene Magritte. He drew a picture of a pipe with the caption "Ceci N'est Pas Une Pipe" (This is not a pipe), to raise issues about the nature of representation in art. The use of that phrase in the title is just part of the "art" theme of the episode.
