Dewey Quote #453
Quote from Dewey in Dewey's Opera
Zoe: [sings] Are you coming back to bed, or should I just order a crib for you?
Hansen: [sings] I'm not coming back. I don't like to be where I'm not wanted. Especially if it's on a big giant bed!
Zoe: You've been on the couch for four days.
Hansen: I can hold on as long as you can.
Zoe: I have nothing to apologize for!
Hansen: Why would you? I bet they were the best four days of your life.
Dewey: No! No! No! You're both holding back too much. Glacienda, you sacrificed your future for a family that's not even grateful. You've got all this anger bubbling up that's ready to explode! And Don Argento, you have nothing in the world but that woman. You hate your job, you don't have friends and now you're losing her!
Chad: Dewey. When it says "Jamie wets his diaper," should I really wet myself?
Dewey: No.
Chad: But on show night?
Dewey: If the second act drags.
Hansen: Dewey, the problem is that these characters are just treading water. I mean, it's been four days and we've done four scenes with him on the couch.
Dewey: You're right. They're just stuck.
Chad: What if Don Argento solves his romantic problems with a machete in a tragic, yet comedic, big bloody mess?

Quote from Hal
Hal: Honey, honey, relax. Honey, we're married. It doesn't matter how embarrassing something is. Because no one knows it... but me.
[fantasy:]
Hal: [sings] Lois... Don't be embarrassed. I know Everything about you. I know when you, think you're alone. You have to check, if your ears have grown. Every day, before you go to work. You know how I panic, When I see a monkey. I've seen you take pizza, From the garbage and eat it! I know all of you, You know all of me. But it's only us, my love! No one else knows. No one else. No one else. No one... Else.
[reality:]
Lois: I'll return the bed.
Hal: Honey, you've fallen asleep for a week in that bed. They're not gonna take it back.
Quote from Hal
Lois: There's a reason I bought a bed that was bigger. I did want some distance from you, but it's not because I don't love you and I don't want to be close to you.
Hal: I don't understand.
Lois: There are certain things that have to happen with my body at the end of the day. Certain events that have to... transpire. And if they don't transpire, I end up with stomach cramps, and I don't want it to happen two inches away from your nose.
Hal: That's your secret?
Lois: I know it's stupid and embarrassing and I want to be sexy for you, but after 20 years, I just have to have a break from clamping down and gritting my teeth all night.
Hal: Oh, honey, I don't care about that. And it's not a secret. The second you fall asleep you let loose like a sailor.
Lois: What?
Hal: Oh, yeah, it's like when they put the balloons away after the Thanksgiving parade.
Lois: Oh, my God. I can't hear anything. You're tunneling out.
Quote from Hal
Dewey: I'm here to snitch. Reese and Malcolm are in the garage. They won't let me in, but they're building something. If you want help in the penalty phase, let me know.
Hal: Dewey, I am not going to go in there and have a big fight with the boys because you've got nothing to do. We have a rule in this family about what we do when we're bored. [hands Dewey the TV remote]
