BOBBY: What!? Why not?
CONNIE: Last year's "worst dresser" turned out to be really poor.
HANK: You're going out for the Longhorn? So you're not prancing around the garage. You're training.
BOBBY: That dang Mike Soto! Where does he find the time? But I'll give him this: he is flexible.
BOBBY: "McMaynerbury Whoopin'?" That's like, "whoop, whoop, whoop," right?
DALE: No, "whoopin'," as in the big beat-down, as in halftime hammerin', as in the McMaynerbury Mascot Massacre, as in...
BOBBY: Am I missing something?
BOBBY: Maybe McMaynerbury will take an early lead and hold it for the rest of the game.

PEGGY: It just seems like every time that Julia Roberts is on TV, it is just to yap about her movie.

DALE: There's four kids in there, and tough ones too.
BOBBY: Don't you have some poisons in your truck that you can pump in there to make them fall asleep?
DALE: I do. But the amount of poison that can make four kids fall asleep might also kill an armadillo. And the kids might not wake up.
DUB TAYLOR: Hey, you're Peggy Platter from West Arlen High. West Arlen sucks!
HANK: He's probably camped out in the bushes. No, that takes guts. He probably spent the night at Denny's.
BOBBY: Bobby Hill-o got the 'dillo!
HANK: Bobby just started a new tradition. Now we have the McMaynerbury Whoopin' and the Belton Beating. What a great time to be a Longhorn.
