"Or it could be God's judgment for you openly dating our vice principal while you're still living with your husband." "That's very funny, Shannon, but it doesn't work like that." "I think." "Well, you're not gonna have to worry about the "me living here" part much longer, because tomorrow," "I start converting the garage." "Dug out all my old tools." "Ready to go."

" Nope." " Scores every time." "[Grunts]" "Patty's just jealous because he's the only brother that never became a fireman." "Wouldn't even take the test because he couldn't stand the heat, iterally."

"How do I put this in a constructive way?" "I hate everything about this idea." "Come on, Dwayne." "Look, I know you're used to being in charge, but do me a favor on this one." "Let's pretend like this project is a vehicle." "There's only one steering wheel." "In a fire truck, there's two steering wheels." "Uncle Dwayne!" "Did I miss the fireman's carry?"
