S1 E15Unfinished Business

Dave (to Vicky): What, you've actually thought about breaking up with me?

Honey, I share a bathroom with you. I think about breaking up with you every morning.

No, no, seriously, tell me, have you actually thought about breaking up with me? Because I can't think of one reason why anyone would want to break up with me.

(laughs) Trust me, there have been situations.

Yeah? Well, tell me one.

How about the time when I was pregnant with Hillary and my water broke & your first instinct was to criticize me because I ruined the upholstery of your Camaro.

It was a new car!

You know what the problem with this country is? Everyone has a freakin' dream, and it's only in America. I mean, have you ever heard of "the Canadian Dream"? No. And there's no such thing as "the Mexican Dream" other than to sneak across the border to have "the American Dream." As much as I hate dreams, yeah, I can't help it, you know? I still have hopes and dreams for my own kids. Mainly that they'll sneak across the border into Mexico and leave me the hell alone.

I'm going to be a singer. In fact, when I win my first Grammy, I already have my speech prepared.

Yeah, what's that?

This is for my parents... to shove it up their ass!

Yeah, you win a Grammy, I'll let you shove it my ass!

What?

Kenny's dad promised to take us to the big comic book convention in Philadelphia this weekend, but then, at the last minute, he canceled.

You see, that's why I never promise my kids anything. If they don't expect anything, they'll never be disappointed. It also applies to wives and foreplay.

Dave, Hillary wants to spend the night over at a boy's house.

No ****ing way, now you go to your ****ing room and don't come the **** out until I ****ing say so!

(Hillary marches upstairs)

It's good to have you back.

Larry, if there's one thing I know about, it's how to ruin a relationship with a brother. If you don't believe me, ask your Uncle Eric.

I have an Uncle Eric?

(to Larry) Now, look, Heidi was Mike's first girlfriend, so stop teasing him.

Ha!

(to Mike) And for all we know, Heidi could be Larry's last girlfriend, so you lay off.

Ha ha! Hey, wait, what?

Just relax, okay, my plan is working.

Oh, you mean the plan you pulled out of your ass?

Yeah, that one.

Okay, well, keep pulling. Maybe we can get your head out of there.

It's a fact of life. We all lie. Husbands lie to wives, wives lie to husbands, parents lie to kids and the President lies to everyone. And then, of course, there is the most popular lies: the lies we tell ourselves. (holds up cup that reads "World's Best Dad")

(about Tiffany) You shouldn't judge a book by its cover. You should judge it by its smokin' hot body!

So... Tiffany's, uh, quite the young lady.

BBob

Oh, please. She's a nightmare. I want to drop her off in a field, then move, then kill myself to make sure she doesn't find me.

You know, that son of yours just cursed at me.

Wow, you actually stopped yelling at Larry long enough for him to swear at you?

Hey, you know, when I was a kid, I never would have talked to my father that way. I did it behind his back as a sign of respect.

Well, what did you do to him?

What's that supposed to mean?

Well, just that he's a pretty sweet-natured kid. You must have done something to piss him off. Come on, Dave, can't you just try to get along?

For your information, Vicky, I was trying. I sat down with him to watch TV, we talked about "The Lord of the Rings" which he loves so much, and then, out of nowhere, he opens his big mouth and curses at me. I mean, what kind of **** is that?

Hey, what's going on? What are you two doing?

We're just playing this really cool computer simulation game, where you get to interact with thousands of people in a virtual world. You can earn virtual money and buy virtual property, and...

Oh, yeah, yeah, I heard about this game. I heard it's so realistic that you guys can't get dates there, either.

Kenny, come out of the closet right now!

[cut scene]

KKenny

If only it were that easy.

You've never liked any boy I've ever brought home.

Oh, that's not true.

You know what, why don't you just pick my next boyfriend?

No, no, no, no. I don't pick out. I kick out.
