Dean Quote #30
Quote from Dean in The Workplace
Adult Dean: Before texts and e-mails, writing letters was the primary way for a 12-year-old to stay in contact with someone... that and a rotary phone with a cord that hopefully stretched into your bedroom. But I couldn't call my older brother Bruce, who was in Vietnam. I was good at writing, though, and letters were our special thing. He'd tell me about the people he'd met and the foods he was trying, and I'd tell him all about the exciting things in my life.
Dean: [writing] "And then I spit, and it went further than Cory's spit, so I won the bet!"
Adult Dean: Okay, so, my life wasn't as exciting as his, but that was always the case, because Bruce was great at everything: school, sports, spitting. My biggest wish was to one day be great at something.
Lillian: [o.s.] Dean! Hurry up!
Dean: Uh, be down in a second.
Lillian: [o.s.] Don't make me tell you twice.

Dean: So... what makes cupcakes taste so "down home"?
Lillian: Slavery. And bacon grease in the pan. But mainly slavery.
Quote from Dean
Kim: Mama, I've never seen that purse before! That's foxy! Eh, you know where my other skirt is? Not the plaid one. The green one with the buttons on the front.
Lillian: It's still in the hamper. You know where the laundry room is, right?
Bill: Baby, what time do you think dinner will be ready? Can you make stew? You make the best stew.
Dean: We just got home! Will you people give us a second? Please. And when I get back in here, these chores better be done. [scoffs] Man, the woman just walked through the door.
Quote from Dean
[Lillian picks up a copy of the bible with three condoms on top as she packs a box for Bruce]
Lillian: Lord, you know I am not ready to be a grandmother. About time, young man. Letter? [Dean tries to put a football in the box] No, see, that's not gonna fit.
Dean: Mom...
Lillian: Dean!
Dean: But I told him I'd send him something to play catch with his buddies!
Lillian: Well, he's at war, not summer camp.
Dean: Then why'd you pack him all those balloons?
Adult Dean: Obviously, I'd never seen condoms or balloons, apparently.
