Quotes:
Darlene: You know I suffer the same temptations you do. Sometimes when I'm lyin' in bed, I ache for a man's touch... and by a man's touch, I mean a penis in my vagina.
Ma Cox: I'm just so glad you learned to play the guitar so good... even without having a sense of smell!::Dewey Cox: It's okay mama, I learned how to play by ear.
[after Dewey accidentally barges in a room filled with smoke and groupies]::Sam: [coughs] Get outta here, Dewey!::Dewey Cox: What are y'all doin' in here?::Sam: We're smoking reefer and you don't want no part of this shit.::Dewey Cox: You're smoking *reefers*?::Sam: Yeah, 'course we are; can't you smell it?::Dewey Cox: [Dewey doesn't have a sense of smell] No, Sam. I can't.::Reefer Girl: Come on, Dewey! Join the party!::[takes a hit off a joint]::Sam: No, Dewey, you don't want this. Get outta here!::Dewey Cox: You know what, I don't want no hangover. I can't get no hangover.::Sam: It doesn't give you a hangover!::Dewey Cox: Wha-I get addicted to it or something?::Sam: It's not habit-forming!::Dewey Cox: Oh, okay... well, I don't know... I don't want to overdose on it.::Sam: You can't OD on it!::Dewey Cox: It's not gonna make me wanna have sex, is it?::Sam: It makes sex even better!::Dewey Cox: Sounds kind of expensive.::Sam: It's the cheapest drug there is.::Dewey Cox: [at a loss and out of excuses] Hmm.::Sam: You don't want it!::Dewey Cox: I think I kinda want it.::Sam: Okay, but just this once. Come on in.
Edith: It's illegal to be married to two people at the same time, Dewey!::Dewey Cox: What about if, if you're famous?
Elvis Presley: It's called Karate, man. Only two kinds of people know it, The Chinese and The King. And one of them is me.
Dewey Cox: You know what? Go ahead! Take the children, I don't care! All I need is my music. I don't need you. [pointing to the babies] And I don't need "you". And I don't need "you". And I don't need "you". You're just sitting there all high and mighty in your diaper. If anything, you need me, you're a baby.
[singing while moving hay]::Pa Cox: The wrong kid died / The wrong kid died...
Dewey Cox: [speaking of his complex song] It's still not finished yet. I'm hearing... more Aboriginal percussionists. And I want an army of digeridoos. Fifty thousand digeridoos!
[repeated line]::Sam: And you never once paid for drugs. Not once!
Edith: What about my dreams?::Dewey Cox: Edith I told you I can't build your candy house! It will fall apart, the sun will melt the candy, it won't work!
