Bill Quote #62
Quote from Bill in I'm With the Band
Adult Dean: Washboard was right. It was time for me to talk to my father, man to man. After all, musicians understand these things.
Bill: I do not understand. That has never happened to anyone I've ever known. Fourth chair? You might as well play from the parking lot!
Dean: I wasn't expecting so many challenges. I choked.
Bill: I'm disappointed in you, Dean.
Adult Dean: Those were the words I dreaded the most. I'd rather he just spank me.
Bill: If you're choking at school, how ever are you gonna play in front of all those people at the Fair? I do not want to hear any more excuses. Tomorrow, after school, you come straight to my office so we can go through this piece, note by note.
Dean: But tomorrow's Fair Day. I'm supposed to meet my friends.
Bill: Well, you can forget about that. The concert's the next day. Is riding a bunch of dumb rides gonna help you play a packed house?
Lillian: Bill.
Bill: All right, just have your narrow behind in my office by 4:00.

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?
