Hell-A Woman
Hell-A Magazine blog number 1. Hank hates you all. A few things I've learned on my travels through this crazy little thing called life. One, a morning of awkwardness is far better than a night of loneliness. Two, I probably won't go down in history, but I will go down on your sister. And 3, while I'm down there it might be nice to see a hint of pubis. I'm not talking about a huge 70's Playboy bush or anything. Just something that reminds me that I'm performing cunnilingus on an adult. But I guess the larger question is why is the city of angels so hell bent on destroying its female population.

"It's all well and good to talk about happy endings, but if a person can't deliver, if he keeps screwing up, well eventually I guess you kinda just have to say 'fuck you'...or words to that effect."

"I want the little one; she looks like she knows things."

Uh oh, it's getting bigger, it's getting meaner! It's fighting back!
Porn Director No Way to Treat a Lady [2.03}
You got under my skin Hank Moody. I just couldn't brush you off. Like I would be blowing a guy off at the four season and I would catch myself thinking, 'I wonder what Hank Moody is doing?'

Really? Because I think it's going to be like a cue tip shoved up my urethra. For three hours. Without lube. Which could be fun if you do it.

I was hoping that you would make an honest woman of me.
Hank The Raw and the Cooked [2.04]
Hank: I love you Karen, and I want to spend the rest of my life annoying the shit out of you, and I want the rest of my life to start right now. I'm sick and tired fighting about the past. We're not going anywhere, I get that now. This is my home, because home is where you and Becca are. I love LA. Seriously, I love it, I can't get enough of it. Karen: You're so full of shit Hank: Will you marry me Karen? Queen of my dreams, mother of my child. Lady of the Valley. Karen: Anymore? Hank: Fuck no I'm out... I'm so wet right now, are you? Karen: You can always check it out for yourself.
Coke Dick & First Kick [2.06]
Karen: Maybe they have one of those, you know, like, open relationships or something. Hank: Ew! No, no, no, no, no. That- that is disgusting. That is not a possibility. The open relationship does not exist. It's like an oxymoron, like "jumbo shrimp" or- Karen: Ph, okay. So that's where you draw the line? At open relationships? Hank: Yes! That's thoroughly offensive to me. Karen: Huh. The mouth-rapist who sleeps with prostitutes is offended. Hank: No. Come on. Look, my ethical unpredictability is default proof of its hard-won vitality. Because I'm not, like, by rote or programmatic about it. I think this shit through, every issue.

I'm not judging. You know, I'm divorced. Pretty recently, actually. Karen: Oh, I'm sorry. Hank: Right on! Karen: Hank. We were never married so... Hank: No, but I did ask... a number of times. Karen: Okay, not the time or the place, Hank. Hank: I gave her a ring, she gave it back. I gave it to a homeless woman. Mrs. Patterson: I'm sorry. That's so sad. Hank: It worked out for the homeless woman.
In a Lonely Place [2.07]
Karen: We're together when it comes to raising Becca. Hank: Well, yes, but not always. For instance, I want Becca to be a lesbian when she grows up, and Karen just wants her to be happy. That's ridiculous. Like you can't be both? A happy lesbian?

Hank: Yes, but you kicked my dick out of the house. You made my dick homeless. And out of doors is a place where penises don't generally fare well, in the rain and the wind and all that. Karen: Hank, will you shut up, okay? Hank: My homeless dick now must seek shelter from the storm where and whence it can. Karen: Did she say to you, "Oh, Hank, I love your writing"? Hank: You see that? This is why we should be together. You just know my shit. It's perfect.

Perverts & Whores [5.10]
Karen: How was your day... honey? Hank: Uh... weird. I spent the day with perverts and whores. Karen: Well... Hank: Don't worry. I didn't sleep with any of them. Close, but I didn't take my cigar out. Karen: Gross, and I don't even care. Hank: Sure you do, Karen. Karen: No, I don't. Anyway, I don't even have a right to care about such things. Hank: You do too... have rights. You have the baby mama's bill of rights.
Levon [7.01]
Hank: [to Charlie] It's all right. It's all right, baby boy. Tonight we drink. Tomorrow you start making some phone calls. An opportunity will present itself. If not, we can always stuff our pockets full with rocks and walk hand-in-hand into the Pacific. Charlie: That sounds romantic.
Levon [7.01]
Charlie: Just don't come off as one of those snotty, pretentious fucks who looks down on television. Hank: Me? Never. Charlie: How is it? [points to a script in Hanks hand] Hank: To be honest, it's like a colonoscopy of the mind. Charlie: Hank. Hank: But if he asks, I will tell him it's "totes buckskin brill."
Levon [7.01]
I have squandered a lot of opportunities, it's true. I could give you a bunch of excuses. I could blame it on my masturbating agent or I could chalk it up to fear and self-loathing in Los Angeles, but the truth is that... I'm trying to grow the fuck up for once. You know, I'm on a quest to reclaim the best parts of myself before it's too buckskin late.
Hank
