‘General Store’

Season 3, Episode 7 -  Aired February 21, 2017

When David has the idea of taking on the lease of the general store, Moira is undecided and could use her position on council to stymie his plans. Meanwhile, Alexis starts high school, and Johnny tries to improve the motel's offering with a continental breakfast.

Quote from Stevie

David: I can't tell what's more tragic, the fact that the only store in town is closing, or that they've decided to display fungal cream beside the cereal boxes.
Stevie: That's actually really convenient, because I forgot to have breakfast, and I'm running low on fungal cream, so...
David: I don't wanna hear you say fungal again.
Stevie: Fungal?

Quote from David

David: I mean, this store in the right hands could be very lucrative.
Stevie: Uh huh, and by the right hands, you mean your hands?
David: Well, I mean someone with faultless taste who understands what people want and need, and if those happen to be my hands, then...
Stevie: So why don't you do something about it?
David: I'm pretty sure telling them that they've driven their store into the ground might be rubbing salt in the wound.

Quote from Stevie

Stevie: No, I'm saying ever since you walked in here you've been talking about how you would've done things differently, so now's your chance.
David: Okay, your eyebrows never move, so I can't tell whether you're being serious or not.
Stevie: I think you should put what little money you have where your mouth is.
David: I do have a very good idea.
Stevie: What you lack in most things, you make up for in unsubstantiated confidence.
David: Okay, are we good to go?!

Quote from Moira

Ronnie: Well, I'm not voting for it.
Moira: I'm inclined to side with Veronica on this.

Quote from Roland

Roland: All right. Look guys, this is a big decision. Let's take a little time to think about it. It's-it's Christmas World! We don't wanna get on their naughty list. [laughs]

Quote from Johnny

Ivan: Oh. This is where I bake. I have three ovens. Is tradition in my family. We make vatritza, burek, gibantsa and now I making uh, Danish, eclair, American-style toaster popping tart.
Johnny: Wow, that sounds great, Ivan, but I was thinking cinnamon buns. You know, the smell of cinnamon in the motel lobby, mmm!
Ivan: Mr. Rose, for you, I can make anything.
Johnny: Great.
Ivan: Blueberry bun, butter tart, blueberry butter tart with raisin, blueberry butter tart with chips of chocolate...
Johnny: Well, let's just stick with cinnamon buns for now, and if this works, we'll take it from there.

Quote from Moira

Moira: And just what is this exciting new venture?
David: I plan to submit a lease application for the general store.
Moira: Ha! Oh! Can you imagine..? Not seizing on this opportunity.
David: Well, I'll be investing some of the money I got from the Blouse Barn.
Moira: Mmm-hmm, a bold decision. Especially since the previous business has since gone under. Dare I say, the space might be cursed?

Quote from Ronnie

Ronnie: Who wants a silver tree? The only people who buy silver trees are serial killers, and single men over 40. And my cousin, who is a single man over 40.

Quote from Moira

Ronnie: Okay, what did they send you?
Moira: Nothing, I assure you. But when one considers the alternatives...
Ronnie: Moira, are you caving on this?
Moira: I'm just thinking out loud. What if a young, independent business person were to step in? I worry... One worries... You worry, are they too naive, or overly coddled, or emotionally precious to handle the rigour of establishing a business?

Quote from Bob

Bob: Look, I, uh... I don't wanna pressure anyone, but, uh, Gwen did tell me if I, uh, I don't get Christmas World passed, I shouldn't come home.
