Tom Anderson
(Cleaning his glasses, unable to notice that his two workers are Beavis and Butt-Head wearing neard glasses) Well I can see you boys ain't like the usual hooligans running around here. Like these two fellows, uh, Buff-Coat and Beaver. Boy they've been nothing but trouble.
Tom Anderson
Now hold on just a second. [picks up phone] Well John Thomas! How long's it been? You still got Dick's number?
[Beavis and Butt-head snicker]

Tom Anderson
Now, you'll only be painting the trim, and if I see so much as a drop of paint anywhere's else, you'll clean it up and it'll come out of your pay. I don't want to see a whole lot of brush strokes and bubbles, neither. You know, back when I'as in the service, they'd throw a fella in the brig for messing up the paint job. Now, I'll be back in a while to see how you're doing. [leaves]
Tom Anderson
That's it! Get your worthless hides off my property and don't ever come back!
Uh…okay, but, uh, we got just one question.
Tom Anderson
Get out!
Uh…can we be in your will?
Tom Anderson
You know, when a man builds a new swimming pool, there's some things he just can't do by himself.
Beavis does things by himself.
I just realized something. Being married would suck. You'd just hang around with the same person all the time, and say all the same dumb stuff over and over again. That would suck.
Tom Anderson
[to his wife] Hold my hand, honeybunch.
[to Beavis] Pull my finger, buttmunch.
Tom Anderson
[Notices Beavis and Butt-head just sitting on the sidewalk while working on his lawn] Now I know these tired old eyes ain't seeing two able bodied young men just lollygagging.
Uh, can you like, shut up?
Tom Anderson
Say what?!
We're waiting for this dude to like, let us have his daughter's hand.
Tom Anderson
Huh. And I thought your generation had given up on being proper gentlemen. So, which one of you is fixing to win the hand of this little lady?
Tom Anderson
Hmm. A love triangle, huh? Well, I guess you two will have to tangle since you know she can't give her hand to both of you.
Yeah, but she's got two of 'em.
Tom Anderson
Jumping Jesus, son! A gal gives her hand to just one fellow. Now, let me give you boys a little tip: no one ever got anywhere just waiting around. When it comes to women, there's nothing wrong with being a little persistent.
Tom Anderson
Damn it, boys! If you want that girl's hand, get off your keisters and go get it!
He's right, Beavis. We've waited long enough.
Yeah. Her hand must be rested enough by now. [As they walk back to the house] Boing!
Tom Anderson
Ah, young love.
Tom Anderson
I'm gonna head to the barber to get my ears lowered, so I need you boys to sign for a couple two packages I got coming from the Amazon.
Tom Anderson
They're a birthday present for Marcie, and my new hearing aid. That one's real important now, because I can't hear nothing without it.
Uhhh, did you hear me when I called you a butthole?
Tom Anderson
Well you're welcome. I knew I could count on you.
Tom Anderson
Yeah, the American pesticides don't work anymore, because of the goddamn hippie environmentalists, so I drove down to Mexico and got some good, old fashioned DDT. It's getting so Mexico is the only place you can be an American anymore. Yeah, just don't touch it now, it's real poisonous. [leaves]
Uh, well let's see. That says something in Spanish, uh, and that's a fly. Whoa! Spanish, fly. This is Spanish fly!
That's like, a after-disiac. It like, makes people who drink it wanna score.
Yeah but, but I already wanna score.
So do I, Beavis, but wouldn't it be a better world if everyone was like us?
Oh, yeah yeah. Then everyone would be scoring all the time! Yeah.
Beavis, we could make the world a better place.
Tom Anderson
You just let me know when you see a deer, son.
[looking through the binoculars] Whoa, whoa! It's Butt-head!
Tom Anderson
Buck head? You see a buck's head? [takes aim at Butt-head, who is looking for the spent bullet]
That bullet better be around here somewhere, or I'm gonna kick Beavis' ass.
Tom Anderson
Oh, oh I see him! I see him right there in that brush! Real scrawny fella. [About to fire]
Uhh... [suddenly distracted by two deer mating with one another] Whoa! You can see his weiner! [moves just as Tom fires, scaring the deer away] They got tired of scoring.
[as Beavis and Butt-head try to enter a bar]
Tom Anderson
Now hold on there, boys, this here's the Legion Hall, and we're having a special get-together for Flag Day. Service members only.
Yeah, yeah, we're from America.
Tom Anderson
Well, I'm glad to hear it, but I'm talking about people who laid it all on the line for this great country. Were you in the service?
Uhhh... yeah. We did like, service.
Thank you, drive through. Would you like the combo for a dollar more?
Tom Anderson
You boys wore the uniform?
Yeah, we had to wear a uniform. There was a hat and everything, yeah.
Uh, it was like, a long time ago, but I remember that the training sucked, and it was always hot, and you never knew when a bunch of guys would be all on your ass.
Yeah, and there was one time when the shake machine-
Tom Anderson
Enough said, boys. Save the war stories for your fellow servicemen. Come on in, and enjoy the company.
Tom Anderson
Say, have you all met Belvis and Bunhowzen here? They served in, uh... I guess it'd be the Desert Storm.
Yeah, like I was saying, there's that one time when the shake machine-
Tom Anderson
Did Gilmore tell you the story about how he captured that there flag in Vietnam?
GGillmore
Well, we see roofing it through that godforsaken jungle, when all of a sudden the commies opened fire.
Fire! FIRE!!! Yeah, FIRE!
VVeteran
You're still feeling it, ain't ya?
Yeah. He feels it all the time.
YVYoung Veteran
I got a buddy who was in Desert Storm. What battalion were you in?
YVYoung Veteran
I said, what battalion were you in?
Tom Anderson
What's your battalion number, boys?
Uh, 69. [he and Beavis chuckle]
GGillmore
The Fighting 69th! You guys are they're real deal.
VVeteran
Must have seen a lot of action.
Tom Anderson
Well, when you're in the 69, you're gonna get plenty of action when it's going down.
[Beavis and Butt-head chortle uncontrollably]
GGillmore
They could lick anybody!
[they chortle even more]
VVeteran
I heard in Iraq, the 69 saw action from both sides at once.
Yeah, yeah, that's why they call it that! Yeah yeah, here, I'll draw you a picture. Butt-head explained it to me once. See, the bottom of the six is the butt, and then the nine is like, the nads or something. I don't know.
Tom Anderson
Now what in the hell are you two boys supposed to be?
I'm a dumbass. Check it out. Uh huh huh huh. Uh huh huh. Uhuhuhuhuhuh.
