Debra Jo Rupp: Kitty Forman

Quotes 

• Eric : Dad, I'm quitting my job.

  Reginald "Red" Forman : You're quitting?

  Eric : I'm quitting. I'm a quitter and I couldn't hit a cow over the head with a hammer.

  Reginald "Red" Forman : Everybody quits their first job. It's no big deal.

  Eric : I gotta say I'm a little disappointed, Dad.

  Reginald "Red" Forman : It wasn't a man's job, anyway.

  Kitty Forman : Red...

  Reginald "Red" Forman : Come on, Kitty! It wasn't a man's job! It was a hairnet, name tag, nothing kind of a job.

  Eric : Well, I'm quitting.

  Reginald "Red" Forman : It's a good thing, too. It was cutting into your chores. You did a half-assed job on that driveway.

  Kitty Forman : I think he did a wonderful job.

  Reginald "Red" Forman : [not looking up from his newspaper]  Didn't look wonderful to me.

  Kitty Forman : [Stands up, feeling upset because Red's unaware that she did the chores]  Sweep it yourself, then!

• [Practicing for a job interview] 

  Reginald "Red" Forman : Stand up straight.

  Eric : [shaking his hand]  Hello, I'm Eric Forman.

  Reginald "Red" Forman : Not loose, firm! Not sloppy, like a fish. Try it again.

  Eric : [shaking his hand]  Hello, I'm Eric Forman.

  Reginald "Red" Forman : Bend into it.

  Eric : Stand up straight and hold a fish.

  Reginald "Red" Forman : Don't be a smart-mouth.

  Eric : Okay.

  [shaking his hand] 

  Eric : Hello, I'm Eric Forman.

  Reginald "Red" Forman : And?

  Eric : And?

  Kitty Forman : Maybe you could mention your Junior Achievement experience.

  Reginald "Red" Forman : Kitty, they could give a rat's ass about that.

  Kitty Forman : Maybe your Honorable Mention for the science award.

  Reginald "Red" Forman : Kitty?

  Kitty Forman : Right. Rat's ass.

  Reginald "Red" Forman : Don't slouch.

  Eric : Wouldn't that go under the "stand up straight" category?

  Reginald "Red" Forman : See, that's a smart-mouth comment. You're fired, Mr. Smart Mouth! That's how that works.

• Ricky : Hey, Foreman - who said you were on break?

  Kitty Forman : I did!

  Ricky : And who are you?

  Kitty Forman : His MOTHER!

  Ricky : Good enough!

  [Strides away briskly]
