Dean Quote #69
Quote from Dean in I'm With the Band
Washboard: You coming, little man? Wouldn't be the same down there without you watching us jam.
Dean: I-I can't. My dad's making me practice more. I, um, lost first chair in band.
Washboard: Well, he's kinda right. You won't get good without practice, practice, and more practice.
Dean: Is that how you got so good at the piano?
Washboard: Nah. Music always came real easy to me. Just took to it. Sorry. But, hey, don't feel bad. Nothing wrong with second chair.
Dean: Fourth.
Washboard: What?!
Dean: Yeah, uh, today, I got bumped to fourth chair, and I haven't told my dad yet.
Washboard: [sighs] Damn! I'm going to miss you, Dean. Sorry, again. But you know something? Your old man might just surprise you. I bet he'll actually respect you for being honest about what happened. And trust me on this... Your dad ain't all that scary.
Bill: [o.s.] Washboard, get down here!
Dean: Mm. [groans] Coming!

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?
