Episode Quotes

Emma Leroy: Check your e-mail.
Oscar Leroy: Fine... What do you do?
Emma Leroy: Here. [she presses a key on the computer; he reads the e-mail message she sent him]
Oscar Leroy: Oh, yeah... What do you mean, you're going out? [He writes a return message; she reads it]
Emma Leroy: Make your own lunch. [she writes; he reads]

Emma Leroy: It's in the tin box that says "BREAD" on it. [she writes; he reads]
Oscar Leroy: Watch your language, Emma! You're going to get us kicked off the Internet!
Oscar Leroy: Did you get my funny e-mail?
Wanda Dollard: No.
Oscar Leroy: I sent you a bunch of them.
Wanda Dollard: I know... but none of them are funny.
Oscar Leroy: They're LOL!
Wanda Dollard: Lame out loud? And could you stop sending them to me? The attachments are clogging up my inbox.
Oscar Leroy: That's probably because you hooked your hard drive into the protocol and then used the bytes to spam it off the Internet.
Wanda Dollard: How are we ever going to know when you actually do lose your mind?
Lacey Burrows: Do you ever imagine yourself traveling somewhere you're not?
Hank Yarbo: No. I can't pull it off. I've tried. I've, uh, pictured myself on an island, and then I imagine some pretty girl rubbing oil on my back, and then I imagine her boyfriend pounding my face in, and then I imagine I'm suddenly made out of steel and a laser gun grows out of my shoulder and I start shooting at the guy.
Lacey Burrows: That's what you imagine every time?
Hank Yarbo: Oh, no. Sometimes a bazooka comes out of my chest.
