Bill Quote #60
Quote from Bill in I'm With the Band
Bill: I'm getting this for my son to perform a sax solo... At the State Fair.
Clerk: Oh, well, that sounds exciting. Good luck.
Bill: Imagine the lights shining down on you, playing your solo...
Dean: I'm second chair. I lost first chair.
Bill: I don't understand. What are you saying?
Dean: Well... Craig challenged me for first chair, and he just played so well. It was... surprising.
Bill: "Craig"? Sounds... Is he...?
Dean: White? Yeah. Go figure.
Bill: You know what? It's okay. I got you covered. I'll put together a practice schedule and we'll make sure you're able to challenge to get your chair back in time for the concert. [chuckles] We won't be taking this. [off Dean's look] What? This is a solo shirt. Not a "cat sitting next to the cat with the solo" shirt. [chuckles] In the meantime, I'll be taking these. You can put this back.

Quote from Kim
Bill: Hold on, hold on. Maybe the boy has a point, Lil. This is their first time playing in front of real people who don't have to clap. Plus, he's got a solo. Boy's got to look sharp! I think I'll take you shirt shopping myself. How about that? I might even pick up one or two shirts, just in case I end up taking this tour.
Dean: Thanks, Dad. I want to look as cool as you.
Kim: Still gonna wear the glasses, though?
Dean: You're just jealous because the saxophone is way cooler than the stupid cello.
Lillian: The cello is not stupid. And, Kim, there's nothing wrong with your brother's glasses.
Bill: That's right. Cut it out, you two.
Both: Yes, sir.
Kim: And I only play the cello because Dad wouldn't let me play the saxophone when I was your age. He said that's how girls get pregnant.
Quote from Lillian
Dean: Mom, since the Fair's coming up and I have a solo in the concert...
Kim: When school lets out early, I'm going with Cassandra and Corynella.
Lillian: Well, don't you have a paper... [Dean clears throat] Forgive us, Dean. Please continue bragging about your solo.
Dean: I was hoping that maybe I could get a new shirt for the concert. Maybe a silk one. I want to look cool.
Lillian: First of all, you know you only get clothes at the beginning of the school year. Second... a silk shirt? Which one of the Pips are you replacing? [laughter]
Quote from Adult Dean
Adult Dean: Wow. Daddy was getting a chance to play on a bigger stage and so was I. The State Fair. It brought with it a half day of school for Fair Day and the best shows and rides you could imagine! One night, I saw a cow give birth and saw Cory throw up through his nose after riding The Enterprise five times. Hmm. Who were the real animals that night?
