Episodes
Pilot (or The Douchebag Aspect)
- Kevin: Ah, so this is Mission Hill!
- Andy: Don't get excited. It doesn't have anything you would like.

- 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!

- Andy: And check this out - I found this movie called "Barfully!"
- Posey: Andy, I think that movie is actually called "BarFLY!"
