Episode Summary

Hank's friends all make fun of him when he cries at a "chick flick" called The Flowers of Time. Peggy thinks Hank was crying because the movie reminded him of his relationship with Bobby. It turns out that Hank was really crying because his beloved truck is breaking down and can't be fixed. In an effort to salvage her, Hank goes to extremes, but the inevitable is just around the corner.moreless

    This episode was entirely for people that like to cry watching television. I coulnd't stand watching this episode because there wasn't any point or any funny moments to be of note. I maybe can recall one or two funny instances, but aside from that, this episode was just barely average. I didn't think it was very smart of the writers to dedicate an entire episode to an emotional plot that was based on a ridiculous reason. If they wanted to do that, make the reason more meaningful or actually relevant. Overall, this was just a filler episode that wasn't even average. Thank you.moreless

    • Hank's old truck in this episode is a Ford Ranger. The new one he buys to replace the destroyed Ranger is a Ford F250. Edit
    • The train stops too soon after it hits Hank's truck. A locomotive, to be able to pull the weight of itself and its cars, is moving fast enough so that in order to come to a full stop, it takes a good mile, at least, of track before the train will loose enough momentum to come to a halt. Remember driver's education training? How many car lengths for each 10 miles per hour you're going? The same principles of physics apply to the train, too. Edit

    • (As Hank attempts to repair his truck on the rail crossing, Bobby plays around on the track, as a distant train horn can be heard. Bobby hums a bit, but then stops when he notices the rail vibrating) Hank: Stop making train noises. It's not funny. Bobby: But Dad, it's not me! I think there's a...

    • Bobby: I love this truck! Hank: Me too. But when we get back to the dealership, pretend you hate it. Edit
