Quotes:

[In Mexico, Peggy's arrested for accidentally kidnapping a young girl]
Mexican Lawyer: Don't worry Mr. Hill. I intend to show that your wife's Spanish is so bad, that she didn't understand what the girl was saying.
Peggy Hill: That's ridiculous. I am a teacher of Espanol in Texas. My Spanish is perfect. And, I would never be able to teach again in the States, if this happens in Mexico.
Hank: Sir, I think Peggy should go to the stand, and tell what happenned in her own words.
Mexican Lawyer: Mr. Hill, I don't think that's such a good idea...
Hank: No. I mean... in... her... own... Spanish... words.

Get In Line

Great show.

King of the Hill is about Hank Hill, a proud propane salesman in Texas. When he isn't at work, he spends time with his family and three friends. The entire cast is great, and the writing is top notch. The show is funny without going over the top. In fact, this is probably quite a realistic portrayal of life in Texas. One worth watching.
