- Dale: The falcon has the egg. By "egg" I mean briefcase. Oh, and this is Dale, from the ad.
  EDIT SHARE
- Hank: Mr. Big is pleased.
  EDIT SHARE
- Hank: Don't worry, Dale. I'm sure next week one of those guys will shoot somebody's toe off, and this will all be forgotten.
  Dale: Oh, God, if that happened I'd kiss his bloody nub.
  EDIT SHARE
- Dale: The Generalissimo was guarded better than a Mafia Don's virgin daughter. We needed the element of surprise, so me and my team showed up disguised as flower delivery men. He answers the door thinking someone sent him a bouquet of roses. But instead, he's pushing up daisies! Sh-sh-sh-sha!
  EDIT SHARE
- Peggy: (looking at Dale through the kitchen window) How long do I have to watch Dale moping around in his underwear? No, wait, there goes the underwear.
  EDIT SHARE
- Hank: Dale, Mr. Big is not Mad Dog, I'm Mr. Big.
  Dale: No you're not.
  Hank (disguising his voice): I'm Mr. Big.
  Dale: But, but I known you since the second grade, when did this happen? First grade?

NOTES (2)
ADD NOTES
- The showrunners for season 6 (except for the season 5 holdovers) are Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger. They had been with King of the Hill since the first season, writing such classic episodes as "Westie Side Story" and "Nancy Boys."
  EDIT SHARE
- Tagline: "Mr. Big is pleased." - Hank
  EDIT SHARE
ALLUSIONS (2)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Dale's rescue plan involving the swarm of flower delivery men carrying long boxes relies on the obvious allusion to guns being concealed in florists' boxes in old gangster movies and such films as Dog Day Afternoon and Terminator 2 Judgment Day. The allusion is so powerful, Dale's gun club buddies surrender even though the florist trucks are just plain florist trucks.
  EDIT SHARE
- The title is an allusion to Soldier of Fortune, a well-known military magazine.
