Season 1
[edit]Sex With Pudding [1.1]
[edit]- Titus: Dave's my brother. I love him with all my heart. No matter how many times I'm charged as an accessory.
- Titus: Erin's office. Inflammable. Non-flammable. You gotta be a dictionary to know what burns.
Dad's Dead [1.2]
[edit]- Titus: Hey, once you've driven a drunk father to mom's parole hearing, what else is there?
- Erin: So I'm sitting in a meeting when my pager goes off with a message. It says "Dad's dead." So I race out of the meeting and drive all the way to Santa Maria because, naturally, I think "My dad's dead"!
- Titus: Honey, your dad is not dead.
- Erin: [with dry sarcasm] Yeah, I know that now. [back to normal] Because if he were, what I walked in on my mother doing to him would be so... sick.
- Titus: Honey, I should’ve said “My dad’s dead.”
- Erin: [laughs sarcastically] If wasn’t funny for my father, it’s not funny for yours either. [notices Titus’ and Dave’s crestfallen faces] Unless it’s not a joke… Papa Titus is dead!?
- Dave: We did page you.
Dave Moves Out [1.3]
[edit]- Titus: All he does is mess with people's minds!
- Ken: You're right, I do.
- Titus: See, you're doing it right now!
- Ken: [slyly] No, I'm not.
- Titus: Yes, you are!
- Ken: All right, I am.
- Titus: Stop it!

The Breakup [1.4]
[edit]- Erin: You slept with her?
- Titus: She said, "You want some pie?" I didn't know it was a metaphor!
- Ken: (flashback) Hey, it was just a bad call. Bad call on your part! I cheated on my last wife with you! What did you think was going to happen? Caveat emptor, baby! Great ass.
Titus Integritous [1.5]
[edit]- Titus: I'm doing the right thing. I'm integritous.
- Tommy: "Integritous"?

(Flashback: Five-year-old Titus runs up to Ken, who's in his recliner having a beer)

- Ken: She wasn't talking to you, son. Now, go in the backyard and practice digging some holes.
Red Asphalt [1.6]
[edit]- Titus: A Glock-9 holds seventeen bullets. Is that what we've come to? I piss you off in traffic; you need seventeen bullets to kill me?

- Titus: Honey, you never got to see San Diego.
- Erin: [with dry sarcasm] That helps.
Mom's Not Nuts [1.7]
[edit]- Titus: My dad is a negative, judgmental pain in the ass who destroyed my self-esteem and tortured me my entire life. My mom's a violent, paranoid schizophrenic. God, I love my dad.
- Ken Titus: I hear Looney Tunes made dinner. I'm surprised. Usually, the turkey is saying such threatening things to her, she can't get close enough to cook it.
- (in the Neutral Space)
- Christopher Titus: Thanksgiving (cut to Juanita shooting a raw turkey with a handgun): A very special episode.
Intervention [1.8]

- Ken: But I haven't had a drink in a month.
- Titus: Dad, we'd like you to start again.
- [Ken, having started drinking again, reveals that Tommy had a dream about Titus in which Titus was naked.]
- Tommy: The nudity, it wasn't gratuitous, it was integral to the plot of of the dream!
- Titus: [disgusted] There was a plot?
- Tommy: You were a pirate.
- [Titus moans in disgust.]
- Rich: You see a man drowning, you throw him a beer.
Episode Eleven [1.9]
[edit]- Titus: Dad, is there anything I can do?
- Ken: See if you can trade yourself in for a nice Korean kid. (a nearby Asian nurse glares at him)
- Titus: (pointing at the nurse) Uh, dad--
- Ken: I'll name him Ho-John Titus.
- Titus: Dad--
- Ken: Ho-John wouldn't steal my distributor cap, and I could probably get him for a pack of cigarettes.
- Titus: (pointing at the nurse) Why don't you see if she can help you?
- Ken: (turning to the nurse) You know where I can get a Korean kid?
- [As a practical joke, Titus has convinced hospital staffers to shave Ken's testicles.]
- Ken: I look like a nine year-old boy.
- Officer Charlie Regan: You have a custom car shop? I want my Viper flamed.

- Ken: Jesus was laughing when I went into the light!
- Titus: He was laughing 'cause you were trying to get into heaven!
- Nurse Kathy: Are you talking? Because I'm fine with you dying. The murderer has paid me through the end of the week.
- Titus: Whoa, whoa, whoa — attempted murderer. And I would have pled it down to manslaughter. You don't even know the law, lady!
- Ken (to Titus): I wish you were still in my loins. I wish you never grew in your mother's womb. You should have been fetal research. You're dead to me! Dead! (slams the door in Titus' face)
The Test [2.2]
[edit]- Dave: Here's your sperm, and the wheelbarrow's in the tree.

- Dave: Taco Night is a tasty corn shell full of lies!
(in the Neutral Space)
- Titus: How many massacres have started off with "Surprise!"? Pearl Harbor. The Tet Offensive. (breaks down crying): My uncle's 50th birthday...I WAS THERE, MAN! (wailing): How many more have to die?!
What's Up Hollywood? [2.4]
[edit]- Titus: Dad has found a new way to screw with me. He told me he was "proud" of me.

- Dave: He got to her!
- Titus: Dave, she likes me.
- Dave: [slyly] Oh, right.

- [The hospital doctors want to begin Juanita's hearing without Ken.]
- Juanita: He's probably stuck in traffic.
- Titus: [accusingly] Or in a mason jar.
- Dave: Or something you put jam in!
- [Titus stares at Dave.]
- Titus: Like a mason jar.
(in the Neutral Space)
- Titus: When I was seven, I watched One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest with my mom. When Jack Nicholson was strapped to the table getting electroshock treatment, my mom burst into tears. She said it reminded her of her life. (chokes up): And I was stunned...because I didn't know my mom had been nominated for an Oscar.
The Perfect Thanksgiving [2.6]
[edit]- [at the hospital, after the Tituses and Fitzpatricks got into a Thanksgiving family fued]

- Titus: All right, listen up everybody. We're going to eat like a family.
- Merritt (drunkenly): I swallowed a lot of blood. I'm full.

- Nora (laughs, to Erin): I like this guy.
Tommy's Girlfriend [2.7]
[edit]- Dave: Here's what you do. You give her a fish with a note attached that says "Life stinks without you." You stuff it with chick stuff like little soaps. But erotically-shaped little soaps. Otherwise she might think it's a let's-be-friends fish.
- [Tommy has misinterpreted Titus' instructions about running into an ex-girlfriend.]

- Dave: Yeah, dumbass.
The Reconciliation [2.8]

- Ken: He sounds like some dime store shrink!
- Bill: Stanford, actually.
Last Noelle [2.9]
[edit]- [talking about a Christmas fight in which he locked his girlfriend out of the house]
- When all of the sudden there arose such a clatter,
- I sprang from the couch to see what was a matter.
- I went to the window and tore open the blinds,
- And there was my girlfriend, quite out of her mind!
- And I was just standing there, heart pounding with fear,
- She was bangin' on the glass door with a vodka bottle…filled right 'bout to here.
- And I knew the window couldn't take it.
- As she screamed, "Unlock it, you bastard, or, I swear, I'll break it!"
- Well, I couldn't do that; it was a rented place.
- So I opened the door, and she punched me in the face!
- And I summoned my manhood from bottom to top,
- And I screamed like a little girl…"I'M CALLING THE COPS!"
Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! [2.10]
[edit]- Titus: Hey, guys, you know you're out in public. In front of people. Bumping nipples!
When I Say Jump [2.11]
[edit]- Titus: Normal people see a bridge spanning a 1500 foot gorge and think, "What a beautiful architectural achievement." Screwed-up people see the same bridge and think, "Oh, I gotta jump off of that!" With a parachute. I'm not an idiot.
(Dave is about to push Titus down a flight of cement stairs in a shopping cart)
- Titus: Okay, what's the record?
- Dave: (through his headgear) Fifteen stairs!
- Titus: What?
- Dave: Fifteen stairs!

- Titus: I can hear the ocean.

[edit]- [Titus learns that Erin has been working as a waitress in a strip club.]

- Ken: All right, how much?
- Titus: Something. Anything. Just get her the hell out of there.

- Titus: What?
- Ken: Five grand.
- Titus: You know, you're amazing? My business is going under, you won't lend me money. I start drinking again, you don't lend me money.

I'll take it!
Tommy's Girlfriend II [2.18]
[edit]- Titus: Don't screw Erin over. Because she hangs onto everything. She's exactly like Buddha. You know, if Buddha was vengeful, angry and laid down a whole lot of whoop-ass. So, the other Buddha.

- Dave: Please tell me they didn't find my secret stash of weed!
- Titus: Dave!
- Dave: I mean, my secret stash of... pot.
The Pit [2.22]
[edit]- Ken: Your driver is launching cock-eyed. You might want to have a talk with him instead of looking at the headlines for typos.
- Jay Leno: That was very funny. Are you a Nielsen box?
- Ken: No.
- Jay Leno: Then shut up, then!
- Christopher: People on TV suck. If you ever meet somebody from TV, I want you to punch them right in the face. It'll probably get you on TV.
The Pendulum [2.23]
[edit]- Erin: You taught [Christopher] how to swim by chucking him in a lake. You taught him not to stick his finger in a light socket by letting him stick is finger in a light socket! You let a car fall on him; I still don't know what that taught him.

- Titus: No!
- Dave: [walking in with tux] "I'm getting married in five days." Well, lies, lies, LIES!
(as Titus is tying Bill to the chair after catching him decking Juanita in the face)
- Bill: Where is all of this anger coming from?
- Titus: Well, some of it's from my childhood. But a little of it is from you punching my mom in the face!
(Titus is planning out seating arrangements for his wedding)
- Titus: Okay, Dad's not good at marriage, so I don't want him sitting next to...anybody. Erin's parents, gotta keep them separated. Marriage will make people do funny things, like suffer through 35 years of mutual hate and soul-torturing pain that can never be erased. (whispers): They're Catholic. [...] Okay, put Dave next to Erin's sister...no, that's a drug deal waiting to happen. We have Michael, Erin's brother...oh, great, now I have to invite cops.
Season 3
[edit]Racing in the Streets [3.1]
[edit]- Ken: What's your rush? Your fifteen kids will still be waiting for you when you get home.
- Castro: [sarcastically, in a stereotypical Mexican accent] Si, señor. But first I have to go feed the donkey, put on a big sombrero and fall asleep underneath a tree. [back to normal] You racist Irish drunk. [Castro and his team walk off.]
- Ken: Now that's my kind of Mexican!
- Ken: Oh, by the way; shorts that go all the way down to your ankles — pants!
Amy's Birthday [3.2]
[edit]- Titus: (opening narration) Normal people who grow up with compassion never amount to anything. They're the ones who end up gluing those little dots on the highway, or putting glue on the dots for the guy who glues dots on the highway. But screwed-up people who weren't coddled or raised with compassion? Ho-ho! We get stuff done. Sure, we feel a little alone and abandoned, but we're (choked up) very happy. Why can't you love me, Daddy?!
- Titus (after Amy's mom, Kim, passes out face-first into the cake): Well, Amy, make a wish and blow out your mom's hair.
- Amy: I don't want you here!
- Erin: Amy, we've invited all your friends. It's gonna be a party!
- Amy: It's gonna be a "Look, Amy lives in garbage!" party.
- Titus: Exactly. It's got a theme.
- Amy (sarcastically): My popularity will soar. (to Erin): Maybe I'll even make head cheerleader like you, Aunt Erin, and peak at 17.
- Titus (defensively): Hey, have a little respect for someone who went out of their way to get you a lice comb.
Tommy's Not Gay [3.3]
[edit]- [Tommy has used the words "daquilicious" and "skosh" in conversation.]
- Tommy: Oh, my God. "Daquilicious." "Skosh." I'm a homo!
- Titus: *spit-take*
- Ken: Fruits have the same rights as normal people. It's not like they're from Vietnam.
- (Christopher introduces his dad to Roger, a black boy)
- Titus: Hey, Dad, this is Roger. He just moved into the neighborhood.
- Ken: Oh, that explains it. First time I ever saw a black man take a TV into a house.
Shannon's Song [3.4]
[edit]- Titus: "Losing builds character." You know who said that? A loser.
- Titus: Shannon's got her own song. Dave and I shared a toothbrush for three years, but Shannon got her own song.
Grad School [3.5]
[edit]- Titus: Being a superhero is hard work. You have to wear those rubber tights in the summer when it's hot. Ehh. You have to hide who you really are by pretending you're the caring, supportive boyfriend. You have to make sure that no one discovers the true identity of... Your-Dream-Is-Stupid Man!
- Titus: Erin never does things halfway. You should see her eat ribs. She's like a dingo with a baby.
(Erin is talking to Jill, a heavily-pregnant teenage girl)
- Erin: Is the father around?
- Jill (sarcastically): Yeah. Yeah, he's married to my mom. Next question
- Erin (not getting it): But someone who's married to your mom would be -- (it finally sinks in): Oh, my God!
- Jill (on the verge of tears): Yeah, the world is an ugly place!
House Boat [3.6]
[edit](introduction to the episode. Light comes on. The Neutral Space is decorated for Christmas, similar to how it was in "The Last Noelle")
- Christopher: Christmas is a time of joy, love, and peace -- and a giant spike in the suicide rate. (with increasing aggressiveness): My father got all the Christmas joy sucked out of him by his cruel, vindictive mother because his drunken, partying father sucked all the Christmas joy out of HER! (the Christmas lights come on. Christopher stares at them, then stares back at the audience and sheepishly sings): Fa-la-la-la-la/La-la-la-la.
- (Ken Titus's 10th Christmas)
- 10-Year-Old Ken Titus: A toy puppy! Thanks, Mom.
- Grandma Titus: Aw, damn it. I forgot to put holes in the box. Well, play with it today, 'cuz tomorrow, it'll be hard.
(Flashback: Ken is waking up young Christopher on Christmas morning)
- Ken: Hey, buddy! Santa came last night!
- Five-Year-Old Christopher: What did he bring me?
- Ken: Nothing. Your new mommy's a Jew. Blame her.
(in the Neutral Space. Titus is holding a gift with a tag that says, "To: Titus, From: Dad". While Christopher is talking, the box is silently ticking)
- Titus: "To: Titus, From Dad". My dad's a new man. He learned that forgiveness is better than hate and vengeance. Next year, we'll teach him that heart attacks are not like women: you just can't keep having them.

- Tommy: Do you remember me, Mrs. Titus?
- Grandma Titus: Of course, Tommy. Have you found a nice young man to settle down with?
- Tommy: I'm not gay.
- Grandma Titus: Oh. Then you're not the Tommy I knew.
- Grandma Titus: George Washington crossed the Delaware River to get to the whores!
- Dave: Delaware is famous for its whores.
(in the Neutral Space)
- Titus: Alzheimer's: a disease marked by the progressive loss of mental capacity. One minute, you're making breakfast for your grandkids; the next minute, you're holding pancakes up to your ears and going, "Hey, do these go with my house coat?"
Errr [3.9]
[edit]- (after Titus saves Amy from attempting suicide by swallowing pills and drinking alcohol)
- Titus: Vodka and pills? (a beat): I told you to stay out of my Dad's earthquake kit.
Tommy's Crush [3.10]
[edit]- [Titus is facing off against Shannon's husband Stefan.]
- Titus: Listen, Tommy, you do anything to hurt Shannon, you're gonna have to deal with that Swede and, uh...Dad, what are we, German-Irish?
- Ken: White. That's all that matters.
- (the audience groans and Erin stares at Ken in shock)
- Erin: [offended] Papa Titus!
- Ken: In society's eyes, I'm saying!
Into Thin Air [3.11]
[edit]- [Hanging from a tree, Titus falls and gets caught in another tree.]

- Ken Titus: Come on, let's go! I'm out of booze and sober is nipping at my heels!
- Nicky: Oh, boo hoo! I've got a watermelon nipping at my crotch!

Hot Streak [3.14]
[edit]- Erin: You want him to have your kind of fun. You need to go have his kind of fun.
- Titus: [confused] You want me to rip myself a new one?
- [Ken goes bust at the blackjack table.]
- Ken: Damn it! The wussy must be here!
The Session [3.15]
[edit]- Erin: Isn't there something you always wanted from your dad?
- Titus: A "do not resuscitate" order?
- Titus: Oh, my dad always sugarcoats the truth, kinda the way a stray lawn dart sugarcoats your drunken uncle's neck at the family picnic.
(Flashback: Ken is in his recliner watching TV. One of his wives comes in wearing a dark pink dress)
- Ken's wife: Does this dress make me look fat?
- Ken: When you're too fat, I'll let you know. Your stuff will be out on the lawn.
Same Courtesy [3.16]
[edit]- Titus: Vengeance is good. It's what separates us from the animals and the daisies. But, you need something really bad to take vengeance for. Like, your girlfriend hogs the chocolate milk, no. But, your girlfriend drags you into therapy and lets your family secretly watch while you weep, well, I think even the daisies want to kick a little girlfriend ass.
- Shannon: People screaming in the front yard. It must be a Titus family party.
After Mrs. Shafter [3.17]

- (scene flips to Ken threatening to stab Tommy)
- Titus: And that's what happened the first time I tried to stab my dad with a knife.
The Visit [3.18]
[edit]- Titus: My mom's not a bad person. She just has bad people living inside her. She's very creative in the way she hurts people. She could've been famous, but she wouldn't sign the Batman-Villain release form.
- Titus: Erin's the kind of woman who can rip your head off and make you feel like a bad boy. God, that's sexy. (shrugs) I'm damaged.
Insanity Genetic(1) [3.19]
[edit]- Titus: Do you know what my first thought was when I heard my mother killed herself?
- Titus/Ken: Did she take anyone else out with her?

- [straight cut to Titus]
- Titus: Oh, we planned the wedding. We didn't plan on my mom killing her husband at the wedding. That was Mom's idea. She didn't know what to get us.

- [cut to Dave]
- Dave: So, he wants Ford dead...
The Protector [3.21]
[edit]- [A boy at school has been harassing Erin's niece Amy.]
- Titus: I hate bullies!
- Tommy: You're about to beat up a kid with a bat!
- Titus: What's your point?
- Titus: A reckless accusation can ruin a person's life, any person's like my high school rival, Mario Copono from Fremont, California. His life would suck if somebody went on national television and just said out loud that he prances around in women's underwear. Man, I hope that never happens to...Mario Copono of Fremont, California.
The Homecoming
[edit]- Titus: Mental illness is a chemical imbalance that can make you hallucinate, hear voices, be insanely happy, or horribly depressed. It's actually the same symptoms of being in love. [Picks up Erin's picture] And you can never know how love is gonna go, and you're never gonna know when love ends. [Places it face down on the ledge] But you need to know that love is never over, ever, because there are 3.5 billion men in the world and 3.5 billion women. [Takes off his shirt and puts on a sombrero] And if you're bisexual, you have no excuse to not be happy. [Goes to shut off the light as usual, but holds back] You know, that she's weapons-trained... why is that so sexy?
- [He leaves through the door, letting it shut behind him.]
