Oscar: Good point

Davis: Hey!

In an altruistic effort, and validation of his worthiness of 21st century progressive thinking Oscar lets Karen join his new club because she is good at sewing sashes.

However, the boys haven't really put much effort into thinking about what might take place at group meetings and Karen begins to regret her haste in wanting to join.

Emma: Oh thanks, but I'm really not in the mood for macaroni with mushroom soup on top

Brent: I've expanded my repertoire beyond that - I crush crackers up on it now

Hank: Ah, Mother's Day with your Mom sounds nice - it's too bad my Mom's not in town

Oscar: Yeah too bad

Hank: Yep, just me...in my house...all alone

Oscar: Look, Jackass - you're not coming for dinner so you can pull your "Hint Wagon" into the station

Brent: Hint wagon?

Oscar: Like a wagon load of hints

Hank: Oh, well uh....I'll see if I can clear my schedule

22 - Season 5, Episode 18 - Bed and Brake Fast

Brent: Nobody said I was gonna have to touch my eyeball! 

Lacey: Brent, what did you think the word "contact" meant?

20 - Season 3, Episode 11 - Hair Loss

Brent is a little upset about becoming follically challenged.

Brent: I'm going bald, Hank. These things are like lemmings.

You ever wake up and think  - "Lookin' good georgeous!"

17 - Season 6 Episode 16 - Crab Apple Cooler

Brent and Hank have some scrumping mind

Now I think it is completely irresponsible of the booze companies to not put a warning on the bottle that says "Do not play Charades and drink alcohol whilst on pain pills"

16 - Season 6 Episode 13 - TV Free Dog River

Emma: I wish you would put a lid on it

Emma decides to put things in perceptive for Oscar and stops doing things around the house that wouldn't usually get done if she didn't. How do you think the towels get cleaned Oscar?

What are the chances that Oscar is going to escalate things. Maybe he could potter around the house in the nudey buff, just because

Davis: Brent's got a smaller one. I mean, I wasn't looking on purpose, he had it out and I just glanced at it

Karen: Right

Davis: But mine is small right? I mean how small would you say is normal? You get an inaccurate idea because you see smaller ones in movies and magazines and stuff. But for a normal person's cell phone mine is small, smaller than average

Karen: I don't think anyone really cares as long as it works

The bar has a new claw machine, which Oscar gets a little smitten with, when Emma insists he comes home after spending to long with his new favourite machine he is a little incensed!

Oscar:  Do you want to make Holubsti?

6 - Season 5 Episode 7 - Buzz Driver

I'm so glad this episode got voted for, it gives me an excuse to use my Baby Driver parody poster again. What? It took me ages, might as well get my moneys worth!

Someone was daft enough to let Oscar drive the school bus. The kids are very good, but Oscar is going to change all of that!
