DOCTOR COLE: Just have your office send over your worker's compensation forms, and I'll sign off on them.
HANK: Worker's comp? Do I look like a hobo to you? No, sir, I am not going on welfare.
DOCTOR COLE: If you insist on working, I'll write you a prescription for pain medicine.
HANK: Whoa there, Dr. Feelgood, I work at a propane dealership, not Woodstock.
DOCTOR COLE: Then I'm sorry, but all Western medicine can really offer you are drugs and nothing. But some people have had good luck with yoga. I hear there's a studio over in McMaynerbury.

CUSTOMER: Plastic.
PEGGY: That was a rhetorical question.

CHET: I'm up to three beers on my lunch break.
BOOMHAUER: Man, you been knocked down in your prime, talkin' 'bout like in ol' Brian's Song, man, the part where they go, talkin' 'bout, "hang in there, Picc."
BILL: You'll see, Hank, lying around the house alone all day isn't so bad. After a while, your couch and your TV will become your mother and father. The couch is your mother.

JOHN REDCORN: No, that's as bright as they go.

MR. STRICKLAND: I'd love to help you, Hank, but you're on your own. I know you're telling the truth, but when I get on the stand, I got a nasty habit of incriminatin' myself. We can't have us both in the pokey!
HANK: But what about Team Strickland?
MR. STRICKLAND: Yeah, I never understood what you meant by that, Hank.
CHAIRMAN: Mr. Hill, worker's-comp fraud is a big problem in this state. You know how many mailmen slipped on ice last year? 412. You know how much ice we got in Texas? None.

HANK: If it please the fraud hearing, I would like to call a surprise witness.
CHAIRMAN: Wow! We've never had one of those before.

YOGI VICTOR: I demand you buy a tank top.
