Jim Parrack: Hoyt Fortenberry

Quotes 

• Hoyt Fortenberry : Hey, you remember that dealer that you took down last week at the bust?

  Jason Stackhouse : I just told you, it ain't gonna work. Reminding me of last week's glory ain't gonna change the fact that this week ain't done shit for me yet.

  Hoyt Fortenberry : Well, you think they still got him down at the jail?

  Jason Stackhouse : I think so, yeah.

  Hoyt Fortenberry : Well, why don't you go down there and talk to him? He's the best shot you got at getting answers about Crystal, and he's just sitting down there at the jail locked up waiting for you.

  Jason Stackhouse : [Leaps up, excited]  That's genius is what that is! Oh, bubba. I knew you and me being roommates wasn't gonna suck forever.

• Summer : I baked biscuits. My great gram's recipe, still warm from the oven, butter churned by hand and home made strawberry preserves I picked myself from the church house garden.

  [Looks around the apartment] 

  Summer : Hmm, This place could use some sprucing up, huh? What?

  Hoyt Fortenberry : Oh, no, nothing. I just wasn't expecting you, that's all.

  Summer : I know, and maybe I should have called first. But, Hoyt Fortenberry, I had the most amazing time with you the other night, and then yesterday, I sat by the phone waiting for you to call, and you didn't.

  Hoyt Fortenberry : Yeah. I got off of work late, and I should have.

  Summer : Because I woke up this morning, it hit me. "Summer," I said, "why play games?" And then I decided that I was gonna declare my feelings for you, and let the chips fall where they may. And if you don't feel the same way about me, well, then that will be your loss. So here it goes. I like you, Hoyt. I wanna be your girlfriend, and I really want you to taste my biscuits.

• Summer : [Faux ominously]  May I come in?

  Hoyt Fortenberry : Summer.

  Summer : I'm just kidding. I'm not a vampire like your last girlfriend.

  [Enters] 

  Hoyt Fortenberry : ...Girlfriend?

• Jason Stackhouse : Just got all these questions spinning around in my head. I don't know what to do with them.

  Hoyt Fortenberry : Like?

  Jason Stackhouse : Well, like why is it that I barely know her, but I already love her? And who the fuck is that dick she's living with? And why would someone like her put up with that shit? And also, do you think she's named after the champagne? Because I'm thinking she was.

  Hoyt Fortenberry : J, she's from Hotshot...

  Jason Stackhouse : Yeah.

  Hoyt Fortenberry : ...She's probably named after that drug that keeps the town afloat.

  Jason Stackhouse : No, no way.

  Hoyt Fortenberry : I'll bet you 100-to-1 her middle name's "Meth."
