  • Rules are rules!

    7.5
    This is a fairly okay episode. While the point is to show how Luanne is behaving like Hank, there is a big problem with it: Luanne's problems are actual problems; not minor and nonsensical infractions. Her one-shot roommates are far lazier and annoying than Luanne. The sad thing is Hank believes the exact opposite.



    Speaking of the roommates, who thankfully never appear after this episode, used the whole "You're a Nazi" retort whenever Luanne tried to make them do anything. What?! If Luanne had any intelligence, she would have call them out on this lameness.



    Learning on how to live on your own is one thing. Having to deal with three a-holes is another.



    And just to mention it, the b-plot about Hank wanting his shed back while his friends desire a clubhouse is pointless and forgettable.moreless

  • QUOTES (10)

    • Hank: (as he and Peggy are in bed giggling) And off with my boxers... (Luanne sneaks into the room to use their bathroom and falls) WHAAA? (turns on the light, Peggy is holding his boxer shorts) AHH! Luanne! Get out of here!
      Luanne: Oh! I'm so sorry! I thought you were sleeping but... (pauses and realizes) ...but you weren't sleeping. (giggles)
      Hank: Out! (Luanne leaves the room, the mood is gone) Boxers, please.

    • (Hank, Bill, Dale and Boomhauer open up Pop's fridge and find a can of beer)
      Bill: Look, Pop's last beer.
      Hank: (Takes out the beer and hold it up) To Pops. (Sees a pool in the backyard) That son of a bitch had a pool?
      Bill: I thought I heard splashing.
      Hank: How could you not know? You've been neighbours with him for eighteen years.
      Bill: I thought he lives by a lake.
      Hank: A lake to where?
      Bill: It was none of my business.

    • (Griffin is sitting on the coffee table shaving his chest)
      Luanne: Griffin, ew! We said no shaving in the living room unless it was an emergency!

    • Hank: I have unplugged your house from my house!
      Griffin: Well, that's not very neighborly of you.

    • Luanne: I just think I should move out before we end up hating each other.
      Peggy: Oh, Luanne, we could never hate --
      Hank: She's making a good point there, Peggy.

    • Hank: Dale, for the last time, I can't turn in this rental application without your Social Security number.
      Dale: Five, five, five, five, five.
      Hank: That's not even enough numbers.
      Dale: Five. Five.

    • Luanne (explaining why she's late coming home from work): The cash register didn't balance, and it took Gary twenty minutes to confess.

    • Bill: My first choice was the Marines, but I couldn't do enough sit-ups to be a Marine Corps barber. Semper Fi!

    • Bill: You know how I want to go? Right here in the alley with you guys. It'll probably be my heart, the way things are going.

    • Hank: The audacity!
