Bonnie: Dad, can you drive me to get my tongue pierced tomorrow?
Jimmy: You mean on the way to the orphanage?

Jimmy: What if the guy severs a taste bud or something? For the rest of her life her favorite Chinese food will be sweet and nothing pork.

Jimmy: Until you remove that thing from yourself, I'm not going to feel comfortable or hungry around you.
Bonnie: Well, enjoy being nervous and really really thin.

Donna: The message is that she's cool and you're not.

Wendy: Do you people have any idea how veal calves are raised?
Mitzi: With a certain live for today attitude?

Jimmy: Y'know, the important thing, I think, and I don't mean to jinx it, is that the Stiles family dinner is actually... Police: *knock* *knock* Police!
Jimmy: ...apparently illegal.

Mitzi: Okay, yes, I did it, and I'd do it again... those miserable little pointy-eared bastards.
Wendy: I like the gnomes, they're cute.
Mitzi: Oh, please. If gnomes are so cute then what happened to all the real ones?
Jimmy: Ma, why did you do this?
Mitzi: Because people should not be allowed to destory the beauty of this neighborhood with whimsical lawn crap.

Police: You think when I went the police academy I had a dream of one day making the gnome squad?

Jimmy: Ma, eighteen dollars for gnomes is one thing, twenty-five hundred dollars bail is another.
Mitzi: Right, dear, because all I ever gave you was life.

Sorry, Mr. Veal!

Somebody want to turn that off?!
