Quotes:

[Emma catches Oscar searching through her purse]
Emma Leroy: You're trying to get coins for that claw machine down at the hotel bar.
Oscar Leroy: I'm hot! There's a fuzzy lobster over there that's got my name on it!
Emma Leroy: You're hooked, Oscar.
Oscar Leroy: You're nuts!
Emma Leroy: Oh, you're hooked.
Oscar Leroy: I know what you're doing. You're saying I'm hooked so I'll quit just to show you I'm not hooked. Well, it won't work. I'm not hooked and I won't quit! Now fork over the coin so I can get my lobster!

Sexual humor!

Sexual humor. There is some sexual humor added to cell phone size in this episode. The episode Cell phone has the Constable, and Brent pitted against each other over who has the smaller phone. In the end Lacy tell them they got little Barbie phones. Feeling inferior both the constable and Brent get these huge vintage 1980's cell phones in order to prove they no longer need a small phone. I could never figure out why people want small cell phones. Small phones are too hard to use. I guess lacy is right. A 7 out of 10 for Cell Phone. I was surprise Hank was not involved in the Cell phone argument. I would go nuts living in Dog River over such crazy conversations. Reminds me of life at the post office.
