Episode Quotes

Grandma Ethyl Phillips: [after hearing Earl describe the job of a tree-pusher] [sarcastically] Wow, that certainly sounds appealing. Where do I sign up?
Earl Sinclair: Ha ha ha, well you can't. They don't hire bitter, shrivelled-up old ladies.
Grandma Ethyl Phillips: Right, they usually only take big, fat slobs.
Earl Sinclair: She'll be dead soon, son.

Fran Sinclair: Alcohol's not the answer, it only just makes things worse. You just need to overcome your senses, and I made you your favorite dish: food.

Earl Sinclair: [pushes it away, solemnly] Oh, Frannie, I can't eat, I can't go to work. There's no point. My life's a sham.
Fran Sinclair: [furiously] Earl Sneed Sinclair!

Fran Sinclair: Sometimes you make me so MAD!
Earl Sinclair: Okay, okay, I'll eat. But do you have a dress to go with this hat?
Fran Sinclair: You have a wonderful life and a wonderful family, but if you can't see that for yourself, you can just stay in bed forever!

Fran Sinclair: [to herself] I bring him his lunch, but no!

TV Announcer: Why are you stuck in a boring dead end job?
Earl Sinclair: I don't know.
TV Announcer: Why does your boss always yell at you?
Earl Sinclair: Can't figure it out.
TV Announcer: Why is your life such a complete mess?
Earl Sinclair: Will you stop picking on me?
TV Announcer: Why ask why? DRINK ALCOHOL! Nobody likes a thinker! You might not be able to change your life, but at least you can change the way you look at it. Alcohol! The more you drink, the less you think!
