With the joys of responsibility comes the burden of obligation.
(On being offered prescription medicine) “Whoa there, Dr. Feelgood, I work at a propane dealership, not Woodstock.
Dangit, Bobby!!!
You can't just pick and choose which laws to follow. Sure I'd like to tape a baseball game without the express written consent of major league baseball, but that's just not the way it works.
Bobby, you go pick something from the adventure section....anything about a boy with gumption should be fine.
(on worker's compensation) Worker's comp? Do I look like a hobo to you? No, sir, I am not going on welfare.

Disappointment? No! You make me proud! I've been disappointed by just about everything else in this town, but you? Not once. Damn it, you're my boy!
(to Dale Gribble, after Hank thought Dale had died from ant bites) You gave your life to save my son. I guess that makes us even for you ruinin' my lawn. What am I saying? Of course, it makes us even!

Butane is the bastard gas.
No got dang way, Bobby!
What the hell kind of country is this where I can only hate a man if he's white?
You mean like a convoy?
Bobby, from now on when I ask you how your day was, what I mean is 'how was shop'?
(Answering Bobby's questions about PMS) Bobby, some things are like a tire fire, trying to put it out only makes it worse. You just gotta grab a beer and let it burn.

(to Bobby) It's not cooking — it's barbecue!
Bobby, if you weren't my son I'd hug ya.
(Talking to Cotton after G.H. is born) If you call him Good Hank it's gonna look like I'm bad Hank.

Bobby I'm going to tell you to do two things I hope you never have to do again, tape the Cowboys game and fetch me an apron.
Peg, I'm trying to control an outbreak, and you're driving the monkey to the airport!
The only woman I'm pimping is sweet lady propane! And I'm tricking her out all over this town.
(After Bobby steps up to the plate in a Little League games, taking a left-handed stance) Dangit, Bobby, you're right-handed.
Yep
(on finding Bobby in his room holding a cheerleader's uniform) There better be a naked cheerleader under your bed.
I hate that t-shirt more than life itself
Yep, just walkin around in my lush, super plush, new lawn...
(talking to Bobby
"Do you know how to start a man's heart with a downed power line?"
Bobby: "No.") "...Well, theres really no wrong way to do it."
(Talking to Megalomart salesman) (Sigh) Which idiot made it illegal to install a working toilet in your own bathroom?
I wasn't flirting with her! I didn't even mention that I worked in propane.
Oh God no, an anthill on my new lawn!
Dang it, I am sick and tired of everyone's asinine ideas about me. I'm not a redneck, and I'm not some Hollywood jerk. I'm something else entirely. I'm... I'm complicated!
I've had about enough of this Christmas crap!
(As Ted Wassanasong hands Hank a cigar) Don't mind if I -- oh, you probably didn't realize this, but this is Cuban. I'll just go ahead and destroy it for you.
You, uh, you're my son, you know, with everything that entails... feelings of fondness and more... You know what I mean, don’t you, boy?
I can't enjoy a party until I know where the bathroom is. You knew that when you married me.
Dale, you giblet head!
((to Peggy in a body cast)) You know, Helen Keller was largely useless, but look how we remember her. Yep, first lady of the American stage
Maybe my father is Tom Landry. That would explain my strong chin and my love for the flex defense. I wonder if I would call him "dad" or "coach". Nah who am I kidding? I would call him "sir."
(In response to a young Christian rock singer who said, "Hey man, Jesus had long hair!") That's because I'm not his father.
Ginseng tea?? I'm not gonna get hopped up on dope!
Son, you're teasin' the gorilla in the monkey house.
I HAVE a sense of humor! I laugh at Tony Danza.
Now that just tears it!
D-minus! Dangit, Bobby, I expected better from someone who doesn't have any extracurricular activities.
(Referring to Bobby's dancing at a concert) They weren't dancing like you and I dance, Peggy. They were enjoying it.
Bobby you're 12 that's still very young. But Ladybird, she's 13!
Why would anyone ever smoke weed when they could just mow a lawn?
I gotta sense of humor too. I like the Tony Danza.
My wife lies to me. My beer company betrays me. Americans are giving Mexicans diarrhea. What the hell is going on here?
Boomhauer, I can't understand a word you just said... what with all that legalese mumbo-jumbo.
I always say - if you plan ahead, then when things happen, you're prepared for them.

(referring to Ronald Reagan) I miss voting for that man
I am the mac daddy of Hiemlich County
((Speaking to Peggy about Kahn)) I don't whisper every morning in his ear 'be a jerk'. That comes from within.
It's called the double standard, Bobby. Don't knock it — we got the long end of the stick on that one.

Nobody likes a know it all who sits around talking about their genitalia.
(To Mr. Strickland) There's a spoon stuck to your elbow. Do you even know that?
Dallas? I don't want you goin' to Dallas at all. That place is crawlin' with crack-heads and debutantes, and half of 'em play for the Cowboys.
(to Bobby) Don't play lawyer ball, son.
I'm gonna kick your ass! I'm gonna kick it harder if you don't come here.
I sell propane and propane accessories.
Using a saw to kill someone makes more sense than using a gun to hammer nails. That's how my dad built my treehouse; that's how he cleaned it too.
If you'd like to learn more about sexual education, don't! Nobody likes a know-it-all who sits around talking about their genitalia. Now, I think you might like this next show, The X-Files. I always thought it was some kind of porno, on account of the title, but turns out it's all about two young people who don't have sex. Now, that's entertainment!
(after his father ran away from home) Has anyone seen an old man, about yea high, possibly shouting obscenities?

(telling Peggy about Connie getting her period) You know, that special time in a girls life..with the freshness and all...
