Episode Quotes
 
Dave: Hey.
Vicky: Hey...
Dave: How was your day?
Vicky: It was okay. I ordered this little Hummel figurine from QVC. It's really ugly, but it'll take four to six weeks to get here and I wanted something to look forward to.
Dave: You know, uh... you're not working. You have the time. Why not go to the gym? You know, they deduct $20 from our bank account each month. Why not stop by and make sure they're still in business?
Vicky: Great! You think I'm getting fat?
 
Dave: Look, I want you to be more competitive. You know, maybe you should think about joining a team. You'll learn important life lessons.
Larry: Like what? When washing the quarterback's jockstrap, use bleach?
 
(playing Monopoly)
Larry: Yes! With two houses, you owe me $500.
Mike: Great. I guess I have to sell a hotel.
Larry: You can just owe it to me, I guess.
Dave: Whoa, whoa, whoa. You're half-Jewish, half-Italian. Okay, that means you charge him as much as you can, and if he doesn't pay, you break his legs.
 
Dave: Are you, huh? Are you pregnant? Is that what you're telling me? Are you telling me that you're pregnant?
Vicky: Well, all three times I had to tell you that, I made you a nice meal and got you all liquored up first.
Dave: Yeah, well, I'm hungry and sober, so...
Vicky: I'm not pregnant.
Dave: Thank God! Wait a second. Why would you even think you're pregnant? You're on the pill, right? You are on the pill, aren't you?
Vicky: Technically, no.
Dave: Technically? Vicky, come on, I don't want "technically." Okay, we already have three accidents. I mean, Allstate won't even insure that uterus, okay?
 
Dave: Hillary!
Hillary: What?
Dave: Come here!
Hillary: What do you want?
Dave: What the hell is this?! (holds up pregnancy test box)
Hillary: A pregnancy test.
Dave: I know that, but how do you know that?
Hillary: Because it says "pregnancy test" on it.
 
Hillary: What's your problem?
Mike: My stupid book report is due tomorrow, and this book is, like, 300 pages.
Hillary: Hey, I read this book when I was in your grade.
Mike: Really? Can you tell me about it?
Hillary: I can do better than that. I think I still have my book report on it.
Mike: Oh. No, thanks. I think I can fail on my own.
Hillary: I'm pretty sure I got a "B" on it.
Mike: Really? Were you sleeping with your teacher?
Hillary: No. And if I was, I would've gotten an "A."
 
(Vicky kisses Dave)
Dave: Whoa. What was that about?
Vicky: I'm just really in the mood.
(cut scene)
Dave: Sorry, don't have time to say anything. I've got to take care of business.
(cut scene ends)
Dave: Baby, uh...
Vicky: Yeah?
Dave: Don't you think we should take some precautions?
Vicky: Yeah, yeah... I'm good to go.
Dave: Okay. Good. Come here. Hey, uh, what exactly does that mean, you know, "good to go"?
Vicky: It means, don't worry about it.
Dave: Come on, baby, we just dodged a bullet. Don't you think we should be more careful before firing the gun again? Well, you know, cannon.
 
Larry: Hey, uh, Dad... um, I heard what you said the other day, and I decided to get involved in an activity at school. Can you sign this permission slip?
Dave: Yeah. This is great! What's it for? Basketball... football... tennis? (reads permission slip) The spelling bee?
 
Dave: Pressure? No, pressure's good, okay? When Superman wants to make a diamond, he takes a piece of coal and squeezes it. And he squeezes the hell out of it, okay? And that's what I'm going to do to you, Larry.
Larry: Uh, Dad, I don't think that's going to turn me into a diamond. I just... I just think it's going to make blood come out of my mouth.
 
Dave: Well, sweetie, what do you want to do?
Vicky: I told you. I want to be a mother.
Dave: (grabs family picture) Congratulations! It's a girl and two boys. Go mother them.
 
Vicky: You want me to be a surrogate? You won't let anyone touch your golf clubs and you want to rent out my uterus? Thanks a lot, Dave.
Dave: No, no, don't thank me. Thank Joe. It was his stupid idea.
Vicky: What the hell are you talking to Joe about this for? My most personal, intimate, private issues.
Dave: It wasn't just Joe. I talked to a lot of people at work about this.
 
(after the Spelling Bee is over)
Larry: Uh, congratulations. So, how about we go out and celebrate your victory, huh?
Sue: I don't think so. I have a boyfriend.
(cut scene)
Larry: B-I-T-C-H.
