• [first lines of the series] 

  Brent LeRoy : Want me to fill it up?

  Man : Sure. You know I've never driven across Saskatchewan before.

  Brent LeRoy : Well, you still haven't really. About halfway to go yet.

  Man : Sure is flat.

  Brent LeRoy : How do you mean?

  Man : You know, flat. Nothing to see.

  Brent LeRoy : What do you mean, like topographically? Hey Hank, this guy says Saskatchewan is flat.

  Hank Yarbo : How do you mean?

  Brent LeRoy : Topographically I guess. He says there's nothin' to see.

  Hank Yarbo : There's lots to see. There's nothin' to block your view.

  Brent LeRoy : There's lots to see. Nothin' to block your view. Like the mountains back there. They're uh... Well, what the hell? I could've sworn there was a big mountain range back there. Juttin' up into the sky all purple and majestic. I must be thinkin' of a postcard I saw or somethin'. Hey, it is kinda flat, thanks for pointin' that out.

  Man : You guys always this sarcastic?

  Brent LeRoy : There's nothin' else to do.

• Hank Yarbo : [upon seeing the changes to the coffee shop]  What the hell did she do to this place?

  Brent LeRoy : Here we go. Would ya settle down Hank? It's just a little different.

  Hank Yarbo : Different? We're in the seventh circle of Hell here! Look, look at this, where's the old clear salt and pepper shakers? I mean you can't see inside these ones, how are you supposed to know which is which?

  Emma Leroy : One shaker's black and one shaker's white.

  Brent LeRoy : Take a leap of faith.

  Hank Yarbo : What if it's a trick?

  Wanda Dollard : Then shake some on your hand first.

  Hank Yarbo : That's unsanitary.

  Brent LeRoy : I've seen you eat gum off your shoe.

  Hank Yarbo : What's that got to do with anything?

• Hank Yarbo : Hey Wanda, what do you know about this Lacey?

  Wanda Dollard : I know she doesn't have cataracts, so you don't have a chance.

  Brent LeRoy : Scorch!

• Hank Yarbo : [referring to the changes to the coffee shop]  I'm gonna fight this.

  Emma Leroy : It's her place, she can do what she wants with it.

  Hank Yarbo : Well, I got two words for you; boycott. I'm gonna put this place out of business.

  Brent LeRoy : Hank, if you had the power to put companies out of business by just not being a customer, why am I still able to buy mouthwash?

  Wanda Dollard : Yeah, and deodorant.

  Emma Leroy : Clean underwear.

  Brent LeRoy : Books.

  Wanda Dollard : Pants that fit.

  Emma Leroy : Nail clippers.

  Brent LeRoy : Dandruff shampoo.

  Wanda Dollard : Um... dental floss.

  Emma Leroy : Toilet paper.

  Oscar Leroy : Pick-up trucks.

  Brent LeRoy : You don't know what we're doing, do you, Dad?

  Oscar Leroy : Shut up!

• Hank Yarbo : [about Lacey]  Is it so unreasonable to be curious about a new person in town? Does she have a criminal record? That's a reasonable question. Does she do drugs? That's a valid inquiry.

  Brent LeRoy : Maybe she doesn't want us in the coffee shop 'cause she's turning the whole place into a methamphetamine lab. Get the kids hooked on the meth and the crack cocaine, 'cause once they're hooked on that, you know what's next: marijuana. Then jazz music. Forget about it.

  Lacey : [entering, reading the newspaper]  Well, that's fair.

  Brent LeRoy : Yeah. Hi, Lacey. I was kinda hoping you wouldn't see this.

  Wanda Dollard : The guy who runs the paper's just desperate for a story. You're the biggest news to hit town since that little space rock landed in Anderson's farm.

  Brent LeRoy : Killed one of his chickens.

  [front page of the Dog River Howler, headline: "Death From Above"] 

  Brent LeRoy : He tends to sensationalize. So don't panic, it's not that bad.

  Lacey : Oh yeah, I suppose. I mean they could have run a photo of me in a Hitler moustache tossing puppies into a wood chipper.

  Hank Yarbo : Does such a photo exist?
