Episode Quotes
 
Hillary: Isn't it pretty out? It's kind of the day when you realize you're just lucky to be alive.
Dave: You're not getting a car.
Hillary: What? I wasn't...
Dave: What, what? What am I, an idiot? I've seen "deep and delightful" Hillary. I've seen "likes what I like" Hillary. And I've seen, "Ooh, Daddy, have you been working out?" Hillary. And none of you's are getting a car.
Hillary: Aw, come on, Dad, I deserve one.
Dave: Hillary, Hillary, your grades stink, you break curfew all the time, and you don't help out at all around here. I'm gonna give you keys to a car? No, you're lucky I don't run you over with a car.
 
Dave: Hillary, ask me for a car.
Hillary: Dad, we've been through this: you tell me to ask you, I ask you, and you tell me no.
Dave: No, but this time will be different, I promise.
Hillary: (sighs) Can I have a car?
Dave: Hell, no!
 
Dave: Joe, you're brilliant. Where'd you come up with that one?
Joe: They talked about it for 2 hours last week at that seminar on teenage insurance.
Dave: Nah, I must have missed that.
Joe: You sat next to me.
Dave: You don't know what you're talking about.
Joe: Jennifer with the curly hair and hot body gave the presentation.
Dave: Oh, that was a good meeting.
 
Mike: So, Larry, who's next on your list of inappropriate dates? I'm sure Dad probably has some ex-girlfriends. Maybe they're available. But wait, why stop there? Why not go out with Hillary? You know, she has a car now, so...
Larry: Hey, hey, Mike, did you ever have any trouble opening that double hook on Heidi's bra? Oh, wait, that's right, you never got that far.
Mike: You know what? Neither did you, you liar.
Larry: Yeah, that's right, I'm lying... lying down with your ex-girlfriend.
 
Dave: Sweetie, I forgot to tell you, we got you your own gas credit card.
Hillary: Really?
Dave: Hell, no!
 
Dave: All right, Betty, so, uh... how much you want for it?
Grandma Betty: Dave, I don't know anything about cars. We're family. Just make me a fair offer.
Dave: Okay. How about $2,500?
Grandma Betty: How about you shove it up your fucking ass!
 
Dave: (to Larry) Now, look, Heidi was Mike's first girlfriend, so stop teasing him.
Mike: Ha!
Dave: (to Mike) And for all we know, Heidi could be Larry's last girlfriend, so you lay off.
Larry: Ha ha! Hey, wait, what?
