H-Even if you were a street walking cheetah, I would get ya to give it to me gratis.
T-Oh you think so?
H-I have never paid for sex in my life.
T-I doubt that.

T-So what are you running from? (he blows of the question) Oh please, no one holes up in a hotel room with a hooker and pile of blow without being on the run from something.
H-Stop joking about the hooker stuff.
T-I'm not joking.
H-Yes you are.
T-No.

H- Here's a thought, why don't I do you this time, and then we call it even!
T- We can do whatever you want, but you're still gonna get a bill for services rendered.

BROWSE THROUGH THE REST OF HANK'S LBB
PROGRESS ON HANK'S WRITER'S BLOCK
  • No progress to report. Episode opens with Hank at the computer, staring at a blank text document. Obviously, its been an unproductive session. It doesn't get any better when the phone rings. It's Hank's sis, calling with the news that their father has died.




PROGRESS ON HANK'S FAMILY LIFE
  • Thanks to the flashbacks, we finally get to see the drama that ended things between Hank and Karen. Karen cheats on him with Bill, who's house she is working on. But, things had deteriorated long before that. They had been barely seeing each other at all, as Hank is deeply immersed in work. As Karen says, "You just don't give a sh!t anymore. Your head is so far up your ass and you don't even know it."
  • H-"We've gotta get out of here before the city destroys us both." K- "It's really not the city." How's that for a prophecy?
  • Hank tells Karen, "thanks for helping me get my head out of my ass." Apparently, that's what it's called when people sleep together. Who knew?

HANK'S HARSHEST WISECRACKS

  • "You're redesigning houses for assholes." To Karen, after she says she doesn't want to go back to New York because she's finally found work out here. Her retort: "How's that any different than redesigning scripts for assholes?"
  • "Both our pimps are here. Mine gets %10. What does yours get?" To Trixie after Charlie finally shows up with some cash.


HANK VS. HANK

DEVIL HANK

  • "You don't snort a line of coke off a woman's ass and then not wonder about her hopes and dreams. It's not gentlemanly."

In this episode, when Hank is at the shooting site for the movie, a gorgoueus blonde appears and has about 2 lines. Does anybody know who the actress is?
