Quote from Bill in Be Prepared
Adult Dean: Growing up in the '60s, I was surrounded by images of the ideal middle-class, suburban life, and I wanted nothing more than to have my own big, fat slice of that American pie. Can you blame me? Those smiling White people made happiness and prosperity look so damn appealing. It only seemed fair... if other families got to have these cool, middle-class experiences, who said mine couldn't, too? Dean: Hey, Dad. Can we go to the beach? Bill: Sharks. Adult Dean: My dad. That's who. [montage:] Dean: Hey, Dad, can we rent a cabin in the woods? Bill: Bears. Dean: Hey, Dad, can we get a dog? Bill: Fleas.
