Quote from Abe
Malik: I think it's nice when someone does a little something extra for poker night. I mean, a six ton pile of trash? You really know how to make a guy feel special.
Brian: You know the smell around here actually makes Hal's dip tastes good.
Steve: Man, who dealt me this hand, I'm going to throw it out on the front yard. [laughter]
Hal: Guys, I really don't know what I'm going to do. I mean, if I give up now, what kind of example does that set for my boys?
Trey: Yeah, that's a tough one, Hal. A man keeps chipping away at his authority. The next thing you know, he's not the king of his own massive pile of garbage. [laughter]
Abe: Come on, guys. Hal's suffering. We really should be more sensitive- No, wait, I got one. I see my favorite band out there, A Flock of Seagulls!
Quote from Dewey
Dewey: [o.s.] Dad?
Hal: Dewey?!
Dewey: Dad?
Hal: Dewey? Dewey, where are you?
Dewey: I don't know! My garbage fort collapsed.
Hal: Can you breathe?
Dewey: Yes. But I don't want to!
Hal: Just keep digging until you reach daylight.
Quote from Reese
Reese: Hey. I got your note.
Hal: I need some help with this, I am in over my head.
Reese: You did the right thing coming to me.
Hal: Your mother can never know!
Reese: It's not a problem. There's a way to solve this little trash dilemma, but I need to know that you'll go all the way. You have to want it bad.
Hal: The fact that I came to you should prove how desperate I am.
Reese: Good enough. From here, there's no turning back. We can implement my plan tonight. Meet me back here at exactly six o'clock.
Hal: That's in twenty minutes. Do you want to go now?
Reese: OK.
Quote from Lois
Shirley: Thank the Lord you're getting rid of that thing!
Lois: Oh, Shirley, I had to. I just couldn't stand it any longer.
Shirley: Oh, believe me, I know. Ever since that thing went up, I swear we've had so many more Black people in here.
Lois: What?!
Shirley: That is not our clientele. We just don't have the personnel to follow them around. Thank you, Lois.
Quote from Dewey
Dewey: What good is running going to do? We live here!
Hal: Nice try, little boy!
Quote from Malcolm
Malcolm: If I leave it up, Mom gets what she wants. If I take it down, Mom still has her hooks on me which is what she really wants. No matter what I decide... Wait a minute, I don't have to decide. I can leave it to chance. Heads, I take it down. Tails, I'll leave it up. I'm not listening to my Mom any more. From now on, I'm listening to you. [the coin lands on its side]
