"Good"

By TasForMayor, Nov 10, 2006

Junkie Business starts out in Buck Strickland's "back office" and shows how valuable, sturdy and loyal Hank Hill has been throughout his venerable history at Strickland Propane. Hank needs to interview a few folks to fill a position at the office, he must choose between a beautiful and qualified woman and a young man who seems to really respect the Cowboys and propane. Of course, because he's so uptight, he hires the young man instead of the very qualified siren. Right off, the newly hired associate shows his true colors; he shows up to work on his first full day extremely tardy, drunk and full of tall tales about how his lateness is not his fault.moreless

TRIVIA (3)
ADD TRIVIA
- Hank "quits" so that there will be 14 people nulling "that Disabilities Act". In the episode "Propane Boom", Mr. Strickland closes down one of his branches, and says that he will keep the other ones. If he has other branches of Strickland Propane, he still has more than 15 people working for his company, and therefore he illegaly fired that junkie.
  EDIT SHARE
- When trying out for the job, Leon goes "after God, family, and country, what I love most is propane and propane paraphanalia", and Hank agrees. Yet in "Snow Job", Peggy tells Dale that "Hank's priorities are propane first, family second, and friends third." Has Hank suddenly had a change of thought?
  EDIT SHARE
- In the scene where Hank tells Leon he's fired, at the beginning of the scene, Leon has his "clean" face, but shortly later, it changes to his "junkie" face.

- Lawyer: (Putting up a copy of the ADA) This is the Americans with Disabilities Act. It ensures that no person, no matter how disadvantaged, how short or obese or blind or gay or even stoned can be discriminated against once his healing has begun. Mr. Strickland: Well, right now I'd kill for a big fat blind gay guy if we could just get some dammed work done around here!
