A Humorous Exchange About Guns
George What are you looking for?
Man Guns, just any gun!
George We've got some big guns and some big-big guns. But I'm afraid I'm all out of big-big ammo!
Marketing Strategy Inspired by Bigfoot Scare
Mr. Henderson Son, I need your artistic skills to make a scary Bigfoot poster. This Bigfoot scare is good for us, we are going to move all our stock as every man in Seattle will be looking to us for firearms. We will call ourselves Bigfoot Headquarters, BHQ!
A Confession About a Close Encounter
George I have no doubt that you saw him, but what really happened is when you saw him you were so scared shitless that you crashed your precious 10 Speeder into the stop sign, bumped your head on the curb and probably scared him half to the death in the process! All right, that's what really happened, isn't it? ISN'T IT?
Bicycle Man Yes!

Skepticism About Mythical Creatures
Wallace I'm going to say this once. Going to say it simple. And I hope to God for all of your sakes that you all listen. There are no Abominable Snowmen. There are no Sasquatches. There are no Big Feet!
Wallace Am I missing something?
Artistic Expression and Familial Conflict
George Henderson Sr. See? You're not the only artist in the family. How's that's for an arthritic old shooter, huh?
George Henderson What the hell did you do that for? It's my drawing! Why'd you change it?
George Henderson Sr. Cool down, George, it's just a piece of cardboard.
George Henderson Not to me. It means something to me! Can't you see that he means something to me?
George Henderson Sr. What the hell are you talking about?
George Henderson The hell with it! I quit!
[storms out]
George Henderson Sr. Over this? You can't quit! We're too busy! Hey, what the hell's the matter with you?

Unexpected Visitor in the Henderson Home

Sergeant Oh, of course. How stupid of me.
Discussion on the Origin of a Pelt
Sarah Is that not the pelt Grandma left you, Mom?
Ernie He must think it died and is giving it a funeral.
Nancy It was already dead when Grandma gave it to me.
Ernie Already dead? Who killed it?
Nancy Well, I did not kill, nor did Grandma kill it. Some rancher killed it...to make money.
Speculating About Bigfoot's Existence
Ernie Hey, Dad. What if it's him?
George Who?
Ernie Bigfoot.
George Bigfoot... ?
Ernie Holy shit! Sorry, Dad.
George That's okay, I was looking for the right words.
Reflecting on Childhood Gifts and Expectations
Nancy How's it going George?
George Lousy. This poster is all wrong. I am going to do a new one of an actual depiction of being peaceful, the way Harry actually is.
Nancy I think that is a good idea.
George I cannot understand my father. When I was a little boy one year the entire autumn I begged him to give me a paint set for Christmas. But what did I get, a BB gun!
Misunderstanding Leads to Unexpected Isolation
George No, no. No Bigfoot here, Sergeant. I was just joking. It's just a prank. Uh, I'm not even George Henderson. You must have reached the wrong number.
[''on the phone'']
George We're on our own.
A Creature Becomes Part of the Family
Wallace So, what you're saying is you would be willing. Excuse me, Jack would be willing to take in this creature and care for it and love it like a pet?
George No, like a member of the family.
