Fred Ewanuick: Hank Yarbo

Quotes 

• Karen Pelly : What's to argue? It's two hour parking and you were there all morning. Pay the ticket.

  Hank Yarbo : This was issued at 11:00am. And because I'm 12 hours ahead, that's actually 11:00pm my time, and parking is free after six. So, technically, my truck isn't even parked there yet! This is harassment.

  Karen Pelly : A little help here, Brent?

  Brent Leroy : Mmm. You've saved a lot of daylight moving ahead 12 hours, haven't you?

  Hank Yarbo : Sure have.

  Brent Leroy : Think how much more you'd save if you moved another 12 hours ahead.

  Karen Pelly : Yeah! It'd be like being on Australian time.

  Brent Leroy : Fair dinkum.

• Davis Quinton : Hey, you guys want to watch UFC at the bar tonight?

  Brent Leroy : What time's it on?

  Davis Quinton : Says here 9 Pacific.

  Hank Yarbo : So midnight my time?

  Brent Leroy : No, 1 in the morning your time.

  Davis Quinton : Why, what's Pacific compared to us?

  Brent Leroy : An hour behind.

  Davis Quinton : So, 10 our time.

  Brent Leroy : Yeah, but Hank's 3 hours ahead.

  Hank Yarbo : Same time zone as the Atlantic Provinces.

  Davis Quinton : But it's not being broadcast in the Atlantic Provinces.

  Hank Yarbo : Great, now how am I supposed to watch it?

  Davis Quinton : With us, at 9.

  Brent Leroy : 10 to be specific... 9 to be Pacific.

  Davis Quinton : I thought he was Atlantic.

  Hank Yarbo : Ah, I'll just rent a movie.

• Hank Yarbo : Oh, right, I forgot. I'm three hours ahead.

  Lacey Burrows : If you're on daylight savings time, you're only one hour ahead.

  Hank Yarbo : Yeah, I know, but this morning I woke up at seven and couldn't get back to sleep. So, I moved my watch ahead two hours and got up at nine. And you know, I'll tell ya, it felt good to sleep in.

  Lacey Burrows : You know, Hank, I try and stick up for you but you make it so hard.

  Hank Yarbo : I appreciate the effort.

• [First lines] 

  Hank Yarbo : [Yawning]  Oh man, the sun woke me up early this morning.

  Lacey Burrows : They should have Daylight Savings in this province.

  Davis Quinton : Ah, it's better for the farmers this way.

  Hank Yarbo : I'm with Lacey, do that spring back, fall forward thing.

  Lacey Burrows : No, it's spring forward, fall back.

  Hank Yarbo : But then you're right back where you started.

  Davis Quinton : No, you go an hour ahead in the spring, so - spring ahead, fall forward.

  Lacey Burrows : No, then you'd just be going forward.

  Hank Yarbo : Yeah, that's the idea.

  Lacey Burrows : You have to go back in the fall.

  Hank Yarbo : Back fall, spring back?

  Davis Quinton : Now you're getting it.

  Lacey Burrows : No wonder this hasn't caught on here, it's obviously too complicated.

  Hank Yarbo : OK, let's walk her through this again.

  Davis Quinton : This time - focus.

• Hank Yarbo : Hey, can I borrow some money for lunch?

  Brent Leroy : First of all, no; second of all - no; and third of all it's 9:30 in the morning!

  Lacey Burrows : He's moved ahead 3 hours.

  Brent Leroy : What is with you?

  Hank Yarbo : What's the big deal? The whole East Coast is 3 hours ahead, I don't see you ragging on them!

  Brent Leroy : You ever think of just moving there? Save us all a lot of trouble.

  Lacey Burrows : Haven't they suffered enough?

• Brent Leroy : [In bed, answering the phone]  Hello.

  Hank Yarbo : Morning, sunshine.

  Brent Leroy : Let me guess. It's four in the morning your time and you're wondering why I'm not open.

  Hank Yarbo : Nope. According to my clock it's 9:30, which means you're late for work.

  Brent Leroy : [Sees his own clock reading 9:30]  Oh. My glib comment seems less funny now.

• Hank Yarbo : I have to admit, the time change was getting a little confusing.

  Brent Leroy : Oh, I don't know if I'd call you a bonehead.

  Hank Yarbo : I didn't say bonehead.

  Brent Leroy : Oh. Regardless.
