Brent Butt: Brent Leroy

Quotes 

• Wanda Dollard : [to Hank]  You're ahead an hour? What's the future like? Do I get replaced by a robot?

  Brent Leroy : How do we know you're not already a robot?

  Wanda Dollard : That's ridiculous. Foolish human.

• 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 : 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.

• Emma Leroy : [entering, with shopping bags]  Well, it's done.

  Oscar Leroy : It better be! What's done?

  Emma Leroy : My Christmas shopping.

  Oscar Leroy : Christmas? It's July, woman!

  Emma Leroy : Well I wanted to get a jump on it! Remember last year?

  [flashback to the previous year, Oscar sits at the table while Emma is behind him, pacing around the room, she is wearing a Christmas sweater] 

  Emma Leroy : It's the 24th and I haven't started shopping!

  Oscar Leroy : It's the 24th of September, woman!

  Emma Leroy : Yeah, but I wanted to get a jump on it! Remember last year?

  [flashback to the previous year, Emma, wearing a different Christmas sweater, is on the couch while Brent is on the floor surrounded by wrapping paper, in front of the Christmas tree] 

  Emma Leroy : It's Christmas Day and I haven't bought a thing!

  Brent Leroy : We just opened our gifts.

  Emma Leroy : No, I mean for next year!

  Oscar Leroy : At least wait until September, woman!

  [back to the present day] 

  Oscar Leroy : I don't know why you bother. Last year, all you got people were crappy socks.

  Emma Leroy : That's because I left it too late.
