Dean Quote #79
Quote from Dean in Country Dean
Dean: Um... baseball, I guess. If we make the finals, we get to play in Paterson Field, where the Montgomery Rebels play.
Buster: Oh. Hmm.
Dean: Yeah, my team's really counting on me. I bat around .800. I just made my third All-Star team.
Buster: Whoa, cool!
Adult Dean: All right, all right, I was basically describing my brother Bruce, but these kids would never know that.
Dean: Yep, I got some high school coaches interested in me. [time lapse] Of course I have a girlfriend! Her name's Keisa. She's the prettiest girl in school. Crazy about me. [time lapse] Sure, I go to concerts all the time. I even get a chance to play with my dad's band whenever he needs a soloist.

Quote from Adult Dean
Adult Dean: In Alabama, what most people called "spring break" was called A.E.A. It had something to do with a week-long teachers conference, blah, blah, blah, blah. All we cared about was no school. Lots of my friends went on trips with their families to the mountains or the beach, but I was gonna spend my vacation in my happy place... On the couch, in front of the TV. I planned to eat cereal till my teeth fell out and watch cartoons till my eyeballs fell out. Basically, if something didn't fall out, I failed. [music stops]
Lillian: Get dressed, Dean.
Bill: And pack your suitcase.
Dean: W-What? It's my vacation. I've been looking forward to it for weeks.
Lillian: Change of plans. We're going to visit Grandpa and Grandma's farm.
Dean: We're going to the country?! Why?!
Adult Dean: Contrary to popular belief, there's a difference between growing up in "the South" and growing up in "the Country." I did the former. My mom and dad did the latter. This is how I grew up. [toilet flushes] And this was them. [picture of an outhouse] My groceries. [pack of chicken] Their groceries. [girl surrounded by chickens] My chores. [vacuum cleaner] Their chores. [Black people picking cotton] Okay, that last one may have been over a hundred years ago, but that's how old they seemed to me. My point... We were not the same.
Quote from Dean
Pearl: I mean, some of us have TVs, but not ones we can watch all the time.
Dean: We have four.
Buster: Whoa! There's only one place I know with that many.
Dean: Where?
[cut to Dean, Buster and Pearl standing in front of an electronics store:]
Dean: That's the episode where Mrs. Kravitz thinks Darrin and Samantha have a baby. My neighbor in Montgomery, Ms. Stringer, is nosy just like that. Ooh! And that's the one where Gomer and Sergeant Carter lose the Colonel's dog. I'm not saying they stole the idea, but same thing happened to me and my friend Cory. Oh, and that? That's The Mod Squad, where they catch car thieves. Just like the crime in Montgomery.
Quote from Adult Dean
Big Jim: Mm, mm. Transmission fluid tastes burnt. Could be a crack in the fluid line.
Bill: Don't worry. It won't hurt him. But too much of this will definitely make you go blind. [both laugh]
Adult Dean: Years later, when I took a sip from Grandpa's flask, I got the joke. Then I threw up and passed out.
