Episodes
[edit]Pilot (or The Douchebag Aspect)
[edit]- Kevin: Ah, so this is Mission Hill!
- Andy: Don't get excited. It doesn't have anything you would like.
- Kevin: Well, it looks very colorful. I think it's important to embrace as many ideas and cultures as one can. Mom, Dad and I went to see Il Postino and--
- Andy: [angered] Shut up! You are so lame. Shut Up!
- Kevin: Maybe you should shut up.
- Andy: No, You. I'm not the one who's- [Andy and Kevin fight]

- Kevin: I know you're gay, okay, but, like, I don't even have a problem with that.
- Gus: Alright already.
- Kevin: 'Cause history's full of great homos. Oscar Wilde was a homo. Alexander the Great was a homo. And do you know who else is great? You, ya big homo!

- Posey: He's right. Buda never wore underpants.
- Andy: And check this out - I found this movie called "Barfully!"
- Posey: Andy, I think that movie is actually called "BarFLY!"

- [Andy, Posey and Jim are turned away from the new club in Mission Hill]
- Andy: Damn poseurs, come to our neighborhood and tell us we're not cool enough to get into their club? Screw them!

The way is fraught with traps and danger - [points to a canyon] together we must cross the chasm of selfishness, [points to an ugly giant] and defeat the ogre of personal deceit.
