George Lopez: George Lopez

Quotes 

• Mrs. Wilder : Max is a joy in class but he's having problems with his reading, have you seen his centipede?

  George Lopez : Whoa, I don't know what that has to do with his reading, but in our house we call it the 'weenis'.

• George Lopez : Come on, even if I had it, don't you think I'd know it?

  Angie Lopez : Not necessarily, you were on the line for 15 years, you didn't have to read, and it says in all these books that people with dyslexia find ways to get out of reading.

  George Lopez : Where does it say that?

  Angie Lopez : [opens book]  Right there.

  George Lopez : Read it to me.

  Angie Lopez : George, you're doing it!

  George Lopez : I can't be doing anything! Because I don't have anything! And I never gave Max anything, except this fine head of hair!... And salmonella the one time I tried to make my own chicken fingers.

• George Lopez : What're you doing up early?

  Max Lopez : I didn't finish my homework last night. You said to try harder, so I am.

  [tiredly reads and about nods off] 

  George Lopez : Harder than it looks, isn't it?

  Max Lopez : It's okay. I just have to get up 20 minutes earlier.

  George Lopez : Max, I want you to take those special classes.

  Max Lopez : No! You said I didn't have to.

  George Lopez : Look, Max, you have a learning disability, if you don't get help, it's going to be a lot harder. I know because I have it too. Right now it's 20 minutes, then it'll be an hour, then one day you'll be up all night trying to finish a report, thinking about sweet, blissful death.

• George Lopez : Where's Linda?

  Ernie : Oh, she had to go to court, she's trying to get custody of her other two kids by her first husband, then while she's there, she has to see her parole officer... oh yeah, and then she has to retrace her steps, and find her tooth.

  George Lopez : So she's doing good.

  Ernie : Yeah.

  George Lopez : Ernie, come on, she's a mess! She's just using you.

• George Lopez : [about the company's healthcare plan]  We can't get rid of nursing homes, my mom didn't smoke for 40 years to die in an attic.
