  Episode Quotes  
Vicky: Larry couldn’t win a school election if he was home schooled.
 
Hilary: How about you put a hole in my head.
Dave: How about you hand me a gun and stand real still.
 
Dave: I don’t know what she’s upset about; my lousy ass job isn’t even in the book.
 
Dave: With any luck I’m looking at the president...and his first lady.
 
Dave: She has a better chance of finding Bin Laden than she does at finding the right key.
 
Dave: (to Vicky about Hillary’s singing) You said it sounded like someone woke up in the middle of an operation.
 
Hillary: I'm going to be a singer. In fact, when I win my first Grammy, I already have my speech prepared.
Dave: Yeah, what's that?
Hillary: This is for my parents... to shove it up their fucking asses!
Dave: Yeah, you win a Grammy, I'll let you shove it my fucking ass!
 
Dave: The chess club? Why doesn't he just run for president of the "I Will Never Touch a Girl's Chest" club?
 
Vicky: He's not emotionally ready for sex. I mean, you're barely emotionally ready for sex.
Dave: What the hell do emotions have to do with sex?
 
Vicky: What are we supposed to say to him? He's too young to be having sex!
Dave: How about "Gimme five, lil' pimp!"
 
Hillary: Wait, you guys always told me how beautiful my voice is.
Dave: Yeah, well, you know... we were lying.
Hillary: Why would you do that?!
Vicky: Because, honey, that's what parents do, to build up your self-esteem.
Dave: Yeah, yeah, I mean, we also told you, you know, you were great at ballet.
Hillary: I was great at ballet! I was in The Nutcracker, remember?
Dave: No, no, no, sweetie, you were the nutcracker. You kicked that poor kid, Monty, right in the bean bag.
 
Dave: Okay, so for her own good, I'm gonna go upstairs right now, and I'm gonna crush that dream, okay? I'm gonna snap it's little neck. Then I'm gonna stomp on it. Then I'm gonna ground it into the dirt like a little bug, you see? Then I'm gonna scrape it off the bottom of my shoe, and I'm gonna flick it at her.
Vicky: Or... We could be caring, loving parents and pretend to support her on this, and let the rest of the world rip her heart out.
Dave: If you want to take all the fun out of it.
 
Vicky: I ran into Grace Chan, and she told me that Tina got accepted into a six-year combined med school program. Why can't Hillary be more like her?
Dave: In all fairness, Tina Chan is Chinese. You know, maybe she's just more focused because, you know, she knows what she wants to do, you know, she has a dream to shoot for.
Vicky: Maybe she just has better parents.
Dave: Yes, but in all fairness, they, too, are Chinese.
 
Mike: Why are we talking about sex?
Vicky: Do you want me to leave?
Mike: Yes! And take him with you!
 
Dave: You know what the problem with this country is? Everyone has a freakin' dream, and it's only in America. I mean, have you ever heard of "the Canadian Dream"? No. And there's no such thing as "the Mexican Dream" other than to sneak across the border to have "the American Dream." As much as I hate dreams, yeah, I can't help it, you know? I still have hopes and dreams for my own kids. Mainly that they'll sneak across the border into Mexico and leave me the hell alone.
