Episode Quotes |
| |
Dave: The last time you did nothing, it took four months for Larry to grow his hair back.
| Dave: We do not steal in this family.
Hilary: What about our cable?
Dave: That's called beating the system.
Hilary: What about when you eat in the grocery store?
Dave: That's called taste testing.
Hilary: I think you know what Oreo's taste like, Dad.
| Dave: Hey, Vicky, if you're gonna get Mike out of trouble with the principal, I suggest you wear that pink top that really shows off the merchandise.
Vicky: Oh, yeah? 'Cause I was thinking you should wear those jeans that show off your package since you're gonna be talking to the principal.
| Dave: You know, she's right. This place is worse than a frat house.
Hillary: No, it's not.
(Dave stares)
Hillary: Or it is. How should I know?
| Hillary: So, wait, she bosses you around, so you boss us around?
Dave: Yeah, it's called a pecking order. And I'm the biggest pecker.
| Mrs. Patrusky: Principal Fink, my daughter feels violated. He's permanently damaged her ability to trust men.
Dave: Let me guess, you're divorced?
Mrs. Patrusky: That's none of your business!
Dave: That's a yes.
| Noreen: Vicky, I know you're best friends with the boss, but the rest of us are all kind of waiting for you in the conference room.
Vicky: Oh. I'm sorry, Noreen, I didn't realize there was a staff meeting this morning.
Noreen: Oh, didn't you get the e-mail? I told my assistant to send it to everyone that matters.
Vicky: Noreen, you're so funny. I don't know why you don't have a boyfriend.
| Hillary: I need my allowance.
Dave: Forget it. What, are you crazy? You're not getting any money for doing nothing.
Hillary: But I always get money for doing nothing, and I need to buy makeup.
Dave: Forget it, okay?
Hillary: Oh, come on. Mom would give me the money.
Dave: Yeah, well, your mom's not here, okay? So, you're gonna have to figure out another way to look too old and too easy.
| Vicky: That's why I'm thinking the Japanese look. Lots of black silk and colorful kimonos. We'll call it "The Asian Invasion."
Noreen: Perfect. Perhaps we could launch it on Pearl Harbor Day.
| Andrea: Dave, I'm gonna tell you what someone in my grief-support group said to me. The best way to get over someone...
Dave: Yeah?
Andrea: Is to get under someone.
