Hal: "It's a good thing Reese got to him before I did."
Craig: "Plus, I can't sleep, knowing the mental trauma my cat suffers staying at Mother's. Then there's all the forehead-sticks I went through learning to go to the bathroom."

Lavernia: "This is the circle of life up here. First they cut down the trees. Then the mining company strips the land. Then with any luck at all they turn whatever's left into a nuclear waste dump. It's the only way we're gonna wean ourselves from our unhealthy dependence on foregin oil."

Piama: "Francis, I've been on this reservation my whole life. I don't know anything else. I'm just a hick. I'm not like you. I can't just pick up and start a new life whenever I need to. I'm not as brave as you, okay?"
Francis: "Brave? I'm not brave, I just didn't know any better.
