Bruce Quote #17
Quote from Bruce in Bill's New Gig
Bill: We're disappointed in you, son.
Lillian: Especially since you've been acting so grown up around here.
Bruce: I'm not acting. I am grown up.
Lillian: I'm sure you feel that way, but you're not even 21 yet.
Bruce: [sighs] I've been on my own for two years now. Nobody was checking up for me in Vietnam. Golly.
Bill: That's true, but you're back in our house now and you've got to follow our rules.
Lillian: Not to mention, you have a younger brother and sister who look up to you. How would you feel if Kim were up all hours of the night, creeping in and out the house?
Adult Dean: Actually, she was. They just didn't know it... yet.
Bruce: Well, this isn't working for me.
Lillian: Excuse me? You're working on getting grounded.
Bruce: You can't ground me. You got to stop treating me like a kid.
Bill: You realize you're saying that while eating cereal that turns the milk purple.
[As Dean chuckles, Bruce jumps at him, causing Dean to fall from his chair]

Quote from Lillian
Lillian: There's a new ice cream place over in Cloverdale. You think you can take yourself away from that school work long enough to get yourself a double scoop?
Dean: Is this a test? Like when you ask me if I want sugar in my grits?
Lillian: No, I'm not gonna spank you this time. This is for real.
Quote from Bruce
Bruce: [to Dean] The army taught me how to kill a man in his sleep without making a sound.
Quote from Kim
Bruce: Mama, relax, okay? We'll do the dishes.
Lillian: Why, how thoughtful. You have been so helpful lately. Doing laundry, washing the car... I can't even get Dean to make his bed.
Dean: [quietly] Bruce is making us look bad.
Kim: Yeah, we need to have a little talk with him.
Adult Dean: Kim and I were rarely aligned on anything. It was nice to finally have a united front.
Kim: Has anyone ever told you that shirt makes you look like Peppermint Patty?
Adult Dean: Well, it was fun while it lasted.
