"Lisa, never ever stop in the middle of a hoedown!" Ah, that scene is sublime.

Why blame the women viewers? Spielberg wanted to fire Hilty, not McPhee.

"We'll take the Spruce Moose! Hop in."
"But sir—"
[clicks gun] "I said, 'Hop in.'"

"I give you Britannia!" "Freshen your drink, guvnah?"

Does anyone else think Stanley looks like a black Michael Shannon?

"You know, Fox turned into a hardcore sex channel so gradually, I didn't even notice."
