Quote from Craig
Craig: Hey, buddy.
Hal: Well, well. What do we have here?
Craig: The boy here says you could use some company.
Hal: No, I got my sons, we're bonding. [gears growl]
Craig: What the hell is that thing?
Hal: That thing is a little project we have been working on around here. A secret, deadly project.
Craig: Hal... why don't you turn off the machine and sit down? [chuckles]
Hal: Why don't you stop telling me what to do?
Craig: Why don't you sit down like I asked you to?
Hal: Look, fats... I don't want you around my house anymore.
Craig: Hey, you don't go to the fat thing, I won't go to the crazy thing.
Quote from Hal
Hal: [muffled] Call animal control.
Malcolm: You ripped the phone out of the wall.
Hal: Go to the neighbor.
Malcolm: They won't let us over anymore.
Hal: Do... something.
Malcolm: Why don't we just all sit down and no one will do anything until Mom gets home?
Hal: Okay.
Quote from Francis
Francis: I got to say, as far as gay rodeos go this one's pretty entertaining.
Lois: Are you sure you're not embarrassed to be seen with your mother?
Francis: Nah.
