It looks like someone tried to eat him. What are you looking at me for?

7.06.3
S9E25

Boy, I'll tell ya. [Chuckles] They only come out at night. Or in this case, uh, the daytime.

S10E06

Oh! Thanks, Pinky! You've always been there for me.

7.16.8
S10E06

My God! It's nothin' but carrots and peyote. Damn longhairs never learn, Chief.

7.06.5
S10E09

Oh, what are you gonna do, call your godfather, huh? 'Oh, Godfather'

6.96.7
S10E11

Well, you gotta spend money to make money, Lou. Mm-hmm.

Listen up, punks. The moral of the story is... the adults always win. For crying out loud, Eddie. You scared the hell out of me.

7.47.3
S10E11

Don't forget to clean under the jowls. That spot is Club Med for mildew.

We promise we won't kill ya. Speak for yourself.

S10E15

Why are the pretty ones always insane?

6.56.2
S10E15

Bears can't talk, Eddie.

7.57.5
S10E15

I won't even get sexual or nothin'- unless that's what you want.

6.36.2
S10E15

Ah, geez. Darned laminated- Would you mind? I got stubby fingers.

6.86.8
S10E15

That's your hat.
