Fred Ewanuick: Hank Yarbo

Quotes 

• Wanda Dollard : [to Hank who is wearing workout gear]  Hey, Olivia, the new comics are in.

  Hank Yarbo : Oh thanks.

  [pause] 

  Hank Yarbo : Olivia?

  Wanda Dollard : Newton-John? 'Let's Get Physical'?

  Hank Yarbo : Oh. No, not right now, I'm about to work out.

• Davis Quinton : [at spin class]  I thought this was suppose to start at noon. Where's the teacher?

  Hank Yarbo : You're looking at him.

  Davis Quinton : [gesturing to the guy he was looking at]  That guy?

  Hank Yarbo : No, I thought you'd be looking at me when I said that.

  Karen Pelly : Oh, so you're the teacher?

  [pause] 

  Karen Pelly : Oh my god, you're the teacher?

• Lacey Burrows : So, no more spinning class for you?

  Hank Yarbo : Nah, I gave it up. Felt like I wasn't going anywhere.

  Lacey Burrows : How'd you get that job anyway?

  Hank Yarbo : You know, everyone asks me that. Let me tell ya, it's quite the story.

  [fade, stinger music plays, exterior shot of the Ruby, then immediately cutting back to Hank and Lacey] 

  Lacey Burrows : Wow, that is quite a story.

  Hank Yarbo : And to think it all started with a tornado and a cat!

  Davis Quinton : [entering]  Hey, is this the story about how Hank became the spinning instructor?

  Lacey Burrows : Yeah!

  Karen Pelly : How did you get that job anyway?

  Davis Quinton : You haven't heard this?

  Karen Pelly : No.

  Hank Yarbo : I was at home watching a TV show about a tornado and a cat, when they called me up and asked if I wanted to be a spinning instructor.

  Karen Pelly : [unimpressed]  Wow.

  Hank Yarbo : Yeah! I mean, you can't make this stuff up!

• [Hank and Karen are sitting at the counter in the Ruby] 

  Lacey Burrows : What can I get you guys?

  Hank Yarbo : Um, I'll have the tofu salad, but replace the tofu with chicken.

  Lacey Burrows : So, the chicken salad?

  Hank Yarbo : Oh, no, it's not as healthy.

• [trying to motivate his spin class students] 

  Hank Yarbo : OK, let's hold this pace. It helps if you visualize. Imagine you're at the Tour de France, watching from the sidelines on a stationary bike. C'mon Davis, you're not gonna watch someone win the Tour de France like that!

• [Karen, wanting to prove she's not a teachers pet, tries to pull a prank on Hank but gets the rest of the class in trouble instead] 

  Karen Pelly : Look, I'm sorry! What was I supposed to do? Stay in detention even if I didn't have to?

  Davis Quinton : Yes.

  Karen Pelly : Okay, wait. Check this out. Would a teacher's pet do this?

  [she pulls out a bar of soap, writes on Hank's windshield: "Mr. Yarbo is a dic-", he catches her before she can finish] 

  Hank Yarbo : Karen! Is that what you think I am? A dictator?
