1983
Jack Butler: I yelled at Kenny for coloring outside the lines! Megan and I are starting to watch the same TV shows. I'm liking them. I'm losing it!
Jack Butler: My brain is like oatmeal. I yelled at Kenny today for coloring outside the lines! Megan and I are starting to watch the same TV shows, and I'm liking them! I'm losing it. Caroline: Honey, I know what you're talking about. I've been there myself, alright? Jack Butler: Well, if you're so unhappy, why don't you say something about it? Caroline: Because I wasn't unhappy! Look, maybe I was a little confused, maybe I was a little frustrated, but I knew what I was doing was important, because it means something to raise human beings. What saw me through was pride. (Jack takes the bedspread, pillow and a pizza slice before heading out) Caroline: I've pride in this house, I've pride with my kids, and I've pride being Mrs Jack Butler! Where are you going? Jack Butler: (Eating pizza before going) I'm goin' downstairs to sleep on the fat couch if I can get through the door. (Jack leaves the room) Caroline: Well, you should take pride with some of that FAT, Porky! (Caroline slams the door)
Jack Butler: You wanna beer? Ron Richardson: It's 7 o'clock in the morning. Jack Butler: Scotch?
Ron Richardson: Yeah? Are you gonna make it all 220? Jack Butler: Yeah. 220... 221, whatever it takes.
Jack Butler: Honey if you call and I'm not home I'll be at the gym or the gun club.
Jack Butler: Honey, you gave me some real good advice once, so let me give you some of my own. It's real easy to forget what's important, so don't."
(Trying to get Kenny to give up his security blanket) Jack Butler: I understand that you little guys start out with your woobies and you think they're great... and they are, they are terrific. But pretty soon, a woobie isn't enough. You're out on the street trying to score an electric blanket, or maybe a quilt. And the next thing you know, you're strung out on bedspreads Ken. That's serious.
Jack Butler: Kenny, don't paint your sister!
Doris (TV Repairwoman) : Are you crazy? You don't feed a baby chili!
Caroline: Do you want to go over the list one more time? Jack Butler: No I don't want to go over the list! OK let's go over the list.
Doris (TV Repairwoman) : Butler, you got a problem with your horizontal hold? Jack Butler: I don't know. Doris (TV Repairwoman) : Your wife says you do. Jack Butler: Well, she ought to know... come on in...
Alex: Wow, what a house! Jack Butler: Yeah, probably mortgaged to the eyeballs. Caroline: Not this one, his great grandfather - Commander Richardson - built it. Jack Butler: Eh... hand me down.
Jack Butler: Your Mom calls the vacuum cleaner "jaws"?
Caroline: You should take pride in some of that FAT, Porky!
Joan: Can I give you a hand? Jack Butler: You can give me two I don't know what the hell I'm doing
Caroline: (after arguing about sudden weight gain) Where are you going? Jack Butler: (while eating a slice of pizza) I'm going to sleep on the FAT coutch, if I can fit through the door
