Morning, kids. What are you doing?
Watching the baby.
Nice to see you you're accepting more responsibility.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
Earl [to the Elders]: Please don't make me bite off my own head. I was practicing in the lobby, and it just wasn't happening.
Elder [reading from the Sacred Book of Dinosaur]: ...and his father [Earl] shall be courageous and wise.
[Earl chuckles]
Elder [to another Elder]: Give me the Wite-Out.
[Elder edits the sacred book]
Elder [reading from the (revised) Sacred Book of Dinosaur]: ...father shall be a blithering idiot.
Can he do that?
[Robbie is refusing to help manage the people coming to see the new king (Baby)]
Those dinosaurs out there are just sheep.
Have you noticed that some of those sheep are cheerleaders?
[Robbie runs outside to help.]
A meteor watch has been put into effect throughout the Pangean panhandle. Scientists have specifically pinpointed this particular house as the point of probable impact.
[A picture of the Sinclair house appears on the tv screen]
Come on, come on! What does this have to do with me?
[Earl is talking to the insurance agent about the cost of replacing the tv]
Don't try to cheat me on this! 'Cause I know you insurance guys, you have absolutely no ethics.
IInsurance Agent
Well, how much would you say your television is worth?
Ten thousand dollars. Good thing I popped for that extra meteor coverage, huh?
IInsurance Agent
For us, yes. But if you refer to that large bound volume we sent you labeled "exclusions", you'll find that a meteor is only a meteor until it enters the Earth's atmosphere, at which time it become a meteorite.
As you can see, I have separated all known dinosaur wisdom into three categories: "Animal, vegetable, rocks."
Well, what about fire?
Vegetable.
What about water?
Water is the opposite of fire, which we have previously established as a vegetable. What's the opposite of a vegetable? Fruit. So water is a fruit. Fruit is not a vegetable, so it has to be either an animal or a rock. We know it's not an animal. Therefore, fruit is a rock.
Daddy, I asked you about water.
Could we hold all questions until the end of the lecture, please?
Baby [pointing the remote at Earl]: Not the TV!
I'm used to being embarrassed by you guys on a local level, I don't know how I feel about being humiliated nationally.
And what makes you the Ancient History expert?
I was there.
Television is responsible for the utter degradation of our society. We should write a letter.
Mom? Get a life.
If your mother can take the time kill this dinner, you can take the time to eat it.
[Robbie leaves the table, refusing to eat meat]
Charlene, you are now my son.
Thanks Daddy. Can I have money for lipstick?
Of course, son.
I shoulda shown [Robbie] the beauty of killing small things.
BDBob Dylan-like Singer
Has anybody here
Seen my old friend Bambi's mother?
Can you tell me where she's done?
She fed a lot of people
But the tasty, they die young.
Just like antelope, mutton, and Bambi's mom.
