Pilot [1.01] edit

Mitch: I've always wanted to work in a Golden Corral.
Louis: This isn't a Golden Corral. This is the Cattleman's Ranch.
Mitch: But I thought this is a spin-off of Golden Corral. You've got all the same stuff.
Louis: Not the same stuff. It's very different stuff.
Mitch: But that bear is the same.
Louis: The bear's brown. At Golden Corral, the bear's black.
Mitch: Snake skins?
Louis: Different snake.
Mitch: You're the boss. If you tell me that it's not a Golden Corral.
Louis: No, it's not. You're crazy.
Mitch: I am. I mean, not super crazy, because it has all the same stuff.

Jessica: [while enjoying her first day back in Taiwan, Jessica briefly loses Evan in a crowd, then finds him easily] Y'know what? It would be OK if you were lost here, Evan. There are no pedophiles in Taiwan. People are too busy getting things done to have time for any hobbies.

Breaking Chains [3.02] edit

Eddie: So, you want to be what everyone thought I was when I walked in on the first day? You want to undo all the work I've done over the past two years?
Emery: You mean all the work you've done so you could just be lazy.
Eddie: They're ignorant about who we are and where we come from. Why shouldn't we take advantage of that? They see me coming down the hall, they're nervous. I'm keeping them on their toes, blazing trails, breaking chains. Then they see you coming in with your violin and your camera, and we're back to where we started!

Louisween [3.03] edit

Brian: [the Crew are making plans for Halloween] I say we hit the sorority houses at East Orlando State. We ask for candy, then... you know.
Walter: What happens then?
Brian: I don't know. Something good. I saw half of Porky's last night when Cinemax accidentally descrambled.
Trent: [annoyed] Wow, appreciate the phone call.
Eddie: Guys, focus. It's Hallowe'en. I'm gonna get girls for the rest of my life. I'm only gonna get free candy for another couple years.

Jessica: He could have come home addicted to drugs - or pregnant!
