Quotes

Buster: Just wanted to check in and make sure you’re aware that your ban on organized sports in this family has been violated.

George, Sr.: Ban on organized sports?

Buster: You know, how you wouldn’t let me sign up for anything when I was a kid.

George, Sr.: Is that what you’ve been thinking all these years? No, no, look, you were... you were just a turd out there, you know? You couldn’t kick, and you couldn’t run, you know? You were just a turd.

Buster: Prison has destroyed the way you talk. If that’s what it takes to impress these guys around here, then they are not your friends.

Welcome to the boards, your name is so tight.


haha, thanks. glad you picked up on it and enjoyed it! I registered last December as "HotCops" but someone came along and started posting as "Hot Cops"... Figured I needed to come up with something more unique before i started posting on a more regular basis.

The men’s restroom was out the other night so I had to use the women’s and of course coming out I said, "Hey, they’re all out of sanitary napkins in the woman’s restroom!" No one laughed, but that’s probably because they were sick of me quoting AD.

Another great line, "You were just a turd out there."

Ah thanks for clarifying what Tobias says. I knew it was something like "douche chill" but I just couldnt figure out if it was for sure and in what context he was saying it. Now I’m gonna be saying it all week.

I’m a girl. I didn’t know what it meant. That was actually my main purpose for coming on here today. I just picked up on it watching old shows. I wasn’t even sure what he was saying as I couldn’t believe "douche chill" would make it past censors.

They edit some weird things and let others stay in.

But the best thing about this show is no matter how many times you watch it. You always seem to pick up on something new.

i like the scene when gm and gob are about to rob from the store and the way gob shouts mice and kinda stutters while doing it and flipping the box at the same time. pure brilliance

one of the better scenes from this episodes its when oscar says : Oh, your tongue is as sharp as your body is still taut.

Lucille: What are you doing? Oscar, this is a children’s soccer game, not Woodstock.

^haha i love that

#44 TheHeyTeam wrote on September 25, 2006:

Two things I just noticed about this wonderful ep last night:

1. Oscar and Buster giving each other massages and ’kind of’ enjoying it, unlike other family members like Michael or Tobias who didn’t like the massages (first sign of Oscar being Buster’s father?).

2. I’m pretty positive that a "Freedom" dance remix is in the background when it goes to the flashback of Lindsay criticizing the girl who came out of the dressing room.

#45 Beamer wrote on September 25, 2006:

Oscar gave Michael a massage in the previous episode - though perhaps you should place a spoiler tag on that for those who haven’t seen Season 2...

#46 TheHeyTeam wrote on September 25, 2006:

Sorry about the lack of spoiler tag earlier - this message board is the only one I frequent and I’m still learning message board ethics. Ms. Barely could teach me a thing or two...
