Quotes

add »
Greg: No, I don't want their help, alright? I've gotten to where I am in life without being indebted to anyone. I want to keep it that way.
Christine: Well, that's kind of selfish.
Greg: Selfish? Instead of taking space in your house, I'm sleeping on bags on cow crap—damp cow crap.
Jimmy: Yeah, well, we feel guilty about it, okay? We finally got a chance to pay you back after all that you've done for us for years and years, and now you won't let us.
Christine:> Yeah, so that indebted feeling you don't want, we're stuck with it forever?
Jimmy: Yeah. That's the crap we sleep on. (edit)
Jimmy: No, Greg, I mean, what are you doing? Why are you out here in the shed? Why are you having kids deliver pizza to our doorstep? Why are you working as a giant mouse?
Greg: I was driving around trying to clear my head. And I got a flat tire because somebody put a nail in the road. I stopped at Chuck E. Cheese to use the phone. I hear the manager freaking out that Chuck E.'s late. There was no one to fill in, so—
Jimmy: Oh, so you became Chuck E.
Greg: Well, at that point, I'd rather be anybody than Greg Warner. The longer I had on the costume, the better I felt. I mean, I might be useless to my own family, but to every other family, I was a hero today.
Jimmy: Oh, so, ironically, you were a man because you were a mouse. (edit)
Kim: I don't know, Officer. My brother-in-law said he was heading north on Sycamore. He was on a skateboard in a Chuck E. Cheese suit... Yes, if you have a glue trap that size, you're more than welcome to use it. (edit)
Christine: Jimmy, get a hold of yourself. We'll find Greg. Everything's gonna be fine.
Jimmy: No, it's not that. It's just that... today, we found out that Dominic is obsessed with breasts... and now we find out that Logan has got the gift. It's a good day to be a dad. (edit)
Jimmy: How's Greg doing today?
Kim: I don't know. He left really early this morning, determined to find a job. I kept telling him that you offered to let us stay here as long as we want, but he refused to even talk about it. He's still acting really strange.
Billy: Well, being out of work is hard, you know? Sometimes it just takes the right thing to motivate you to get you up off the couch. For me, it was the guys coming to repossess the couch. (edit)

Trivia

add »
There's a jump cut right before Christine enters the house and says, "Okay, I turned the water off," with Kim's left arm changing position. (edit)
Another jump cut occurs before Greg enters the kitchen and says, "I've got my lucky tie on..." Christine's right hand goes from resting on the table to stirring her drink. (edit)

"Silly"
This was one of the best episodes I've seen in a while. I wish the writers would write every episode thinking that it's their last one.
